its at the cost of any gameshared dlc - if (like me) you lost your friends password.. your screwed. this method makes you have no limits, pretty much. BUT your gonna have to make sure that:
a) you have used no DLC pieces
b) your not merging DLC pieces
so i would mess with it and plan out what your gonna do, its a lot easier and works a lot more ways but theres this big cost right. <--
unfortunately i have no clue how to do this for xbox as im a rich snob.. jk
ps3 menu --> GAME DATA utility --> Skate 3 DLC (Triangle) --> Delete --> play game --> DONT INSTALL UPDATE.. install game data --> make park --> put prop on a pad at desired angle --> make another pad and simply drag it down into the prop from above the prop, i think it has to be bigger than the prop im not sure
well worth the 5 mins if you ask me, make sure you know what you want to make and build your parks around it. sorry xbox people.
For a tip i say that u should always try to put flow into your parks (where u can go from one piece to the next without a getting off the board or slowing down or around the whole park
damn Briden, that's an amazing find! the CAP can now be that much more creative by merging droppables with the ground. too sick!
That sounds awesome but complicated; I haven't made backups of anything on my PS3 and don't want to go deleting things and potentially losing my boring-ass half made skate parks. That's a lot easier than "make pad, put blocking bodies in, make new pad, make pad above, turn everything upside down, wonder where the hell your shopping cart disappeared to" though.
no. you wont lose anything andits not complicatedat all, just delete game data called 'DLC', nothing needs to be backed up, your save data is not affected at all! your character will be reset if you have dlc on him, thats it.
Been waiting to post about this until I got the video made, but I made a working ladder. I posted pictures in my park thread a bit ago, but I'll post here incase people haven't seen it.
Footage @ 1:50
2 catwalk supports with 8 dlc bent poles, about thigh-height between each of them. The whole thing is tilted @ about a 85* angle.
ive seen a few ladders, but they were at pretty good angles in all fairness, yours is best i think
my tips:
yeah none of you bitches have seen a tidy park from me in centuries, lets just say im a whole lot better now, but heres the rules i stick to
1. drink monster, monster help y'all minds wonder like lonely sheep in a desert wasteland. this will actually help you to find real life insprirations because your brain will go into overdrive so with all the thoughts your getting some of them have gotta be about skating right, you see a spot and youll know it like shit if your drunk/high/hyper! only problem is you might forget, thats what iphone notes are for! (also stops you wanting to give up on your parks when your more active) *phew* that was a long one
2. keep blueprints/drawings of your real-life/adapted/stolen (stealing from other creators is good, anyone will agree) spots so that you know exactly what your doing
3. if you fail at merging pieces and get the red border for no reason, use the above downgrade method to make it the way you want (considering DLC of course)
4. STUFF THE TURKEY (sick bastards!) literally cram all of your creative juice into each and every spot and dont leave blanks like ive done in the past, think what could be leaning against your wall, taking up some space&adding in some detail, and what could be in the distance, coz even backgrounds help with park making - e.g. i tend to use scaffolding, unique planters, random scenery (waterfalls n' shit) and suitable props
5. (MOST IMPORTANT) consider your chosen colours and behold your creation
for a full-sized park using my spot inspiration method ^ you need about 5 good realistic spots, and a hella lotta scenery to make-your-break-through, rather than making everything 100% skateable, because reality is much better than fantasy, i've learned that from the best.
seeing so may cool ideas and a lot of great tips in this thread!
Here is something we've all been struggling with: disappearing props when online. Me and Old-skooler was talking about this the other day and we have a theory about what props stay and what gets taken out when you take the park online.
Both Buddah and Old-skooler mentioned that props that are placed outside the park and on the actual CAP lot floor usually stays when you go online. That lead us to believe it had to do with elevation in the park.
The props seem to load from the bottom up. When you go online, the ones at the top load last and don't show up. We are not 100% this works but you should all test it as it seems like the closest thing to a solution we've seen so far.
• Place all the important props in your park first
• Fill up the prop meter (to get the correct replay editor timeline) with props you don't need at a higher altitude in your park such as a rooftop
• Check it online
Let us know how this works out for you!

Briden, I need your help lol I've been trying to use that tutorial in the first page with merging dropables, and I can't seem to work it out. Is it still working, or has it been patched(?) lol I'm trying to finish a CAP right now, but I wanna use that merging droppables thing into my park but I've been trying that shit for an hour now and can't figure it out lol
Edit: Nevermind, I was doing something wrong lol I didn't know we had to go into the PAD and grab the droppable object as well... haha I saw that in Antwan's post... thanks to both of you! haha
Re-edit: I finally got it to merge, but I can never get it out other than like 1 inch off the ground. Everytime I get approx the same height lol I don't get it...

tilt and merge people, tilt all kind of different objects and try merging them into the wall/other objects, I've been able to make some sick stuff
good job! thanx for the info
Thought id post this I just found it out. When a object is red u can change color/style just move cursor over on to it and push select. Don't click on it and it will work
Be on the lookout for cool spots, even if you cant skate them. Take a pic or sketch it. I see so much cool stuf in the car... then when i get home i forget about it
anyone else think this needs a stickie?

I agree with this, as a matter of fact the park I'm working on now is inspired by something I seen in real life. It now looks nothing like what I saw but it kicked off the park which lead to other ideas.
Another idea I've been playing with is grabbing my older parks and re-doing them with new idea's I may have.
Anybody got any recommendations for the edges of parks and overall ambiance?
also, this thread needs a stickie
Overall ambiance be sure to use foliage, particularly the fall trees and concentrate on the shadowing they give off (twist and rotate them to shadow certain parts of the park). The edges of the park I used to just load with trees, Now I make sure it's either a nice wall, building, or gate lining the outer edges.
I constantly run out of room. I realized there's ALWAYS something I can delete to finish a park off how I want. I'll back track and scan around the park looking for objects that got hidden or completely covered by something else and delete them. Like, no need for a full pad under a ramp or building or if only 1/8 of a full pad is showing I'll delete it and move things around to cover the hole.
A roof in an indoor park is important IMO, guys with low camera's and in vids will constantly have them in view. What I'll do there is close your eyes and picture indoor parks or warehouses you've seen in real life. Try to recreate the way they look with the pieces you got in game, same for walls. Hell, I've even had my I-pad on my lap with google searches to get ideas but that's only because I take shit to seriously haha!
another "tip"
post everything you got, even if it sucks, it gives us more to skate
yea. ea let me download 2 parks yesterday (omg). Now its broken again for me. I'v been skating some old caps. ( ghetto plaza by rzrfvr, and southbank by maacer42) guess i wish i just had more to skate
What I've always done is if you see a park you like take down the name of the person and DL all their parks. (just search their name in the parks section). I also do random downloads skimming the parks section in game hunting for that one guy no one knows yet but builds sick sh**.
Ladd's got a good point, right now I can only upload 2 more parks so every time I go to upload I have to decide which older one to delete.
anyone got advice for making a tranny park, videos or anything? i want the tranny to be unique and have weird obstacles
