MattyDienhoff's Mafia Car Guide

Hey Matty, awesome progress so far, this is looking very hopeful, I hope it'll be soon finished. As for some addition, I'd like to advice you including the Real Car Names as well, I mean what are the names of these cars in reality. ;)

Also, as far as I know the cars have an 'official' top speed, yet their actual top speed is different. Which did you include, and what about including both? ;)

I forgot all about the real names. :$ But that's a good idea.

The top speeds, yes. I'm using the correct ones from the Car Top Speed List by d00d. (I hope you don't mind d00d!)

I see no sense in including the official ones from the carcyclopedia. They're wrong. But I will probably include a note detailing this in the guide. :o--

Yeah never mind that was just a suggestion but I realise now that it is wrong. It would be useless to have two maximum speeds, the real one is perfectly enough, you are right. :WT

But I think the other idea with the Real car names is a good one! ;)

Perhaps. :k As I go along I reorder the way it's laid out. I'll take your suggestion into consideration. ;)

Awesome Matty, truly a marvle! I just read the Lassiter section. I'm sure the game creators would be proud!

Hope you add the Police soon!

*EDIT: If you don't mind Matty, I could search the web for good car pics! It'll save you some time. :WT

As long as you credit me for finding them, of course! :)P

I'll PM you as I find them... I'll send you the Fords(Bolts) first, and so on...

He hasn't decided if he's going to that stage yet, Yoshi. So don't start before he says yes, otherwise you could be wasting a lot of time...

Well, if he dosen't want to, then I suppose I'll make my own topic for the real life pictures of the cars instead...

But like you said, he hasn't decided yet...

No, I don't think I will. It's a bit hard to explain, but it's because I don't know how i'd fit it into the layout. :k

If anyone has any ideas though, I'd like to hear them. What I was thinking was maybe have the pictures of the cars at the end. Or along side of the in-game picture. But I'm still not quite sure.

The way it is designed currently is good, though I think implementing the real car pictures would be a nice idea as well. You'd just need to change the whole layout for that. :k

As I said earlier, seeing how big would this database be, I'd say the best layout is a kind of 'book' form, and not a simple top->botton list of cars. The book would contain just one brand of cars on one page and another brand on another page. Then the page would look like this:

[align=center]BRAND NAME
Descriptions
in-game car photo ---------------------------------- real car photo[/align]

What do you think? Surely, for that you'd need to have it in a .doc or .pdf form, and not as a forum topic... :k

Csu suggested a good layout and I think I could help you with the pictures (and if you need the real car values like the engine, top speed and ect.). If you decide to do it just email me spitfire@splius.lt :)^
