Theme Glitch: How to get 5 themes on a track!

Today whilst creating a track I found out how you can get 4 different big themes on a track, with a mini theme for a total of 5 themes! It isn't very good but it works.

 

1: Select your base theme for you track (e.g seaside)

2: select your themes of your choice but DON'T choose your base theme and place all least one object from each theme on the map. (e.g on seaside I chose jungle,alpine,far east and gladiator.

3: To get a seaside themed go to any theme tab and select a universal object (one that's in every theme (e.g a sign from the alpine theme)) and place it.

4 Now select it again and, without opening the big menu, scroll though the prop list backwards (using L2/R2). You will find your self in the theme of the tack you are using as a background. (E.g. With a seaside background I can get seaside props using this alongside all the others I mentioned above)  Now you can place props how you like (Note, you cant get glitched props in this theme this way)

 

There seems to be a problem with that you can change themes using the big menu otherwise it will say that you run out of theme budget except for universal props. You have to select a prop of the theme you want and after placing it back again, you may change it and place many more. Therefore you have to change all you angled props to every theme you might what to have them in advance. ( you can't get angled props in the base theme) There might be more problems as I just found this out 10 mins ago.

 

A pic to prove it true!

This isn't really a glitch, but this is a pretty cool trick/technique. I have used it on Eden's Skyway before.

Re: Theme Glitch: How to get 5 themes on a track!

Is it just me, or are all instructions on glitching confusing? Seriously, I read the instructions over and over again, while creating, and still haven't got it to glitch even once, for any glitch (except the prop placement one, that one's easy)! That's why I have to keep using templates! It's embarrasing...

Sounds like lack of experience using the editors to me! :smileyvery-happy:

 

Seriously though, this is a very useful glitch to know, only the other day we discovered that if you do the same sort of thing by putting down all the max theme examples first and then using autopop on a track then you can get another theme that way (by getting the base theme props on top of the other themes you've chosen), although you are very limited in how you use this as you have to draw a marquee around any of the autopop props to select and move them.

 

This way sounds a lot more straightforward, thanks Iop! :smileyvery-happy:
