Hey folks,
I have an idea for a tagging scheme for the SLRR cars section. I've already started implementing this on my own downloads as well as Robban_9000's cars (since he isn't around and there are a lot of his cars) as a test, but I figure I should run this by you all. Here's what I've come up with: - Body style tags: -- convertible: has no roof (may include cars with targa tops) -- coupe: car with two doors (and probably also a roof) -- hatchback: anything with a lifting hatch, whether or not it also looks like a coupe or sedan -- sedan: car with four doors and a general sedan shape (i.e. not a wagon) -- suv: for SUVs and crossovers; can overlap with van, truck, or wagon -- truck: anything with a cargo bed, including "utes" -- van: any vehicle that's vaguely wagon-shaped or comes with a camper -- wagon: car with four doors and a lifting hatch that doesn't look like a sedan -- (supercar): also a car type tag; use this for two-seat coupes that would qualify as supercars - Car "type" tags: -- ordinary: more "traffic" than a fun car (e.g. Prius, minivan, etc) -- utility: used for hauling stuff or performing work -- budget: was on the cheap side when it was made (so depreciation doesn't count) -- classic: older than about 1980 and doesn't fit neatly into another category -- muscle: has a big V8 engine and/or RWD and feels muscle-y, even if it's not American; some non-V8 American cars also arguably count (e.g. Buick Grand National) -- sports: a sporty car (especially 2 seat coupes and roadsters) that is not a muscle car -- grand tourer: something a little too big to be a nimble sports car that is also not a muscle car -- luxury: from a "premium" brand and/or built to be very comfortable -- supercar: sports but faster, generally must have 2 seats -- race: is for dedicated racing, or has race parts that would make a car illegal on the street -- rally: anything built for driving through dirt (maybe all off-road counts?) - Country tags: Where the car is designed and/or manufactured, or the market it is "originally" designed for. -- American, Australian, Brazilian, British, Chinese, French, German, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, (etc). -- More than one might apply. -- If a car is made up for a video game (i.e. the Sultan from GTA), don't use these tags - use the special tag "Fictional" instead. - Brand and model name tags: Self-explanatory. If a car's brand is made by another manufacturer (i.e. Chevrolet by General Motors or Lexus by Toyota), or if the car is re-badged (i.e. the Dodge Stealth and Mitsubishi 3000GT), try to list these too. - Mod author name tags: Just put them in the way they appear on the usernames. For example, Bigg Boss93. - Conversion tags: For the game it's converted from. -- FM3, FM4, FH1, FH2, Juiced 2, NFS ProStreet, NFS Shift 2, GRID, etc. Does this look good to everybody? I know we probably won't get to use this much until the site is redesigned, but until then, it would make sense for us to make the download section a little easier to navigate.

Conversion tags isn't really necessary imo, a lot of users wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a juiced 2 model and a Forza model. Same goes with Forza 3 and Forza 4 models etc, they're almost the same in every game.
Other than that, they all look good to me. |

Good point. I rescind the bit about the conversion tags.
