Something similar with car colours.

To be honest, I hadn't thought full descriptions of each paint jobs would be included. I assumed rough labels like "Red/Blue" or "Red stripes" would be enough 😅

Yup, I'd lean towards that as well: settle on "standard" names for common paint jobs, and, on a case by case way, use simple combinations or invent fantasy names for the uncommon ones. I might start a thread for collecting those later 

Number of paint jobs. Handy for live races..

- author: main author, or should we have authors as a list?

I think it's important to record multiple authors. There usually (though not necessarily) is a distinction between a main author and other contributors, and keeping track of it through separate fields, as @Cas suggests, could be semantically reasonable. (Also, it's indeed appropriate for the author to be optional, as sometimes we just don't know who they are.)

Something similar with car colours.
Some are Multi colour. But usually there is a dominant colour.
So for that maybe a primary colour and a secondary colour.
Where the secondary colour can be set to multi.
That should include most colour schemes.

I would like general statistics.

Mass / PG class
Flat track top speed
0 / 60
0 / 100
Grip and/or Tire type? Track/Road/Rally
Car Class (race/sports/road/off-road/special)

These also provide good filter options.

We have. But this setup is difficult to execute and run from seperate locations. It's also far from perfect because the timer doesn't function as intended because you have to make room and wait for the second player while it's running..

As far as modifications go. There are many ideas that are possible that have greater interest and impact than this. So it will take time for this one to become a thing..

Meta question: should we have a sub-subforum for this project? While my first impulse would be raising specific design questions and the like on GitHub, it's not likely everyone will be there to talk, and so keeping the discussions here would make sense.

Thinking about it, and a bit broader..
The wiki doesn't have a place as well (or I couldn't find it quickly and that's basically the same thing)

Can we make subgroups underneath wiki and portal sub?

I suppose they can be decompressed with stunpack. The thing is to later actually open them and edit the chunks

No. PES is not packed with the stunpack algoritme..
But fully explained Here

Shows how little i know about cars. Not the slightest clue what cars fit a certain category.

I just looked at this list. https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Custom_cars#List_of_custom_cars

True, that's what I did with three flavours of midrange cars.
But that was mixing different properties.
Matching similar performance like mentioned above is for me less clearly visible.

I Also have no clue about the performance of the real cars.

But i can make a different Pack.
(1 of GT3 / CERV / F40) + Porsche 959 + Diabolo

Alternatively: keep the GT3 + CERV + F40 pack and, in another race, make it 959 + Diablo VT + Ferrari 512TR.

I wonder if Ruf Yellowbird fits in this category.

Remember there are more car around this GTO to CERV range of supercars like Jaguar XJ220 and Bugatti EB110 and Ferrari Mythos.

Shows how little i know about cars. Not the slightest clue what cars fit a certain category.

But that's not the reason why I suggested it. I thought that, by keeping one car it would be easier to compare them as a whole.

Pes files are also standard packed/encrypted. (Of the shelf encryption) other P## files use a dedicated packing, specifically made for stunts.
It's a shame it's still not implemented into stressed..

I think that it's a programmed error message. PES (Esh) files were used by earlier games of DSI as well. The are now only used in the track editor and intro animation. Those were probably made outside the core team. It could be that the horizon image also started as PES or Esh.

Zappers f40 is a bit more "game tuned" than reality compared to the others.

GT3 + CERV + F40 + Porsche 959 + Diabolo 

I try to keep packs at 3.
(The special was an necessary exception)
To keep it manageable for players.

I have a extensive track collection. But it's difficult to navigate.
Suggestions or track donations are very welcome.
Please tell me if they are suitable for NTT and what type of car.   

I am working on a more structured competition setup for CCC and NTT.

For the coming CCC races I have.

• Alan's muscle car pack tier 1.
• GT3 + CERV + F40
• Indy noPG + Lola + Penske

Other ideas are welcome.
Also, please suggest existing or donate new tracks in the other topic.

I would like to check the INDY no pg vs Lola vs Penske in a track (not only the performance statistics)

Ok. Make a pack for it.
