Every GTPlanet Tune That Exists Is In This Thread!!!

[Ealirendur]

Let me put it another way. Yes, it is a very good idea to have links to all the tunes in your first posts, for both you and the readers. Absolutely keep doing that.

Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily help someone (Adrenaline) figure out that there's been a new or updated tune in the last 20 pages. It doesn't make it the wrong way, it doesn't make it any worse or easier than it would have been; it's still the same amount of work. Just having the tunes linked doesn't by itself make it easy to update the site from a very fast thread - that's all I was saying.

In that case, what would?

In that case, what would?

A weekly PM from specific garages that are plagued with spam.

Ealirendur is correct in why, the page 1 updates, don't help me personally for the website. It'd be nice if I was smart enough to create a 'crawler' similar to the WRS 'sector time' system. But it would require people to post in a very specific format, and I'd never know which ones the crawler picked up or didn't so I'd always be double checking anyways, and do the same amount of work.

It's a pain, but when I do it daily, it's not really a big deal. But when I fall months behind, it becomes a major chore, but I have no one to blame but myself. In due time...

specific garages that are plagued with spam.

I guess my garage does not fit this description? I have a tuneost ratio of ~11:10, so....
If there is anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to.

8/7/12 Update

With an increased participation in NASCAR I've now re-organized the NASCAR section of the website to be more useful. I went through all of the existing tunes and separated them by track, ignoring year/make/model. In doing so, I've also included specific Names of 'Road Course' tunes, IF they were included in the post. (Plate) now represents a 'Restrictor Plate' tune, as I've noticed an increased popularity in that. Motegi has been added, as well as High Speed Ring. All other Non-Ovals are classified as 'Road Course', and I've also added 'Martinsville''. For those who do not know, Martinsville is actually a custom track, created with the Tokyo Bay Kart Track randomizer, of which you can find many variations of being used online. A small, flat oval, that drives similar to Martinsville. Some great short track racing here, and I've seen some 'IROC' classes run there, with RM Camaro's, or Challenger TC models.

I've also corrected some missing cars from the DLC page, and I'm considering adding a "GT500" section to the webpage. I'll attempt to get more up to date in the coming weeks, my goal is to be 100% current by the end of the month.

Edit: The GT500 page is now live. I'll monitor the analytics over the coming weeks, and if it appears people are using them, I'll consider doing the same for other alternate groups of cars, possibly directly off of GT5's online room settings.

Whilst I appreciate it takes a lot of effort on your behalf to sort out,I find it much easier and quicker to find what you want with the re-organisation of the car types. So well done and I'd love to see more of the same on the site.

Thanks :-)

I hit the list of tunes constantly, and I suck so I need them.

Keep up the good work. I imagine the tunes from the recent contests are not 100% there.

 

[Motor City Hami]

I think all of us with tuning garages should take inventory of our tunes every once in a while and PM Adrenaline if any haven't gotten linked. This is quite a task for someone to take on, voluntarily. Props to Adrenaline for building this.

Replica tunes are useless to the website, and multiple times I've considered deleting them all. People are looking for race setups, that will help them achieve faster lap times, better tire wear, or just a better driving car in general. How many people looking to obtain a 'replica' look, actually care about suspension settings? On the off chance they did care, 90% of these 'tunes' ignore drivability, and focus solely on fender gap. Even if they did care, I'd guess that half of the Tunes published, are all repeat cars. If I think one replica is useless, how do you think I feel about 10 different versions of the same car? Best case Scenario, I add a 'Replica' page to the website.

@ Adrenaline: I completely agree with you on the last part of your post about replica tunes. I have the same thoughts about replica tunes as you do. Having said that, lets be clear that I have nothing against the people who make these tunes. Hell, I even tried making a few myself just for something different to do. Bottom line tho, when I go to your site, I go there for a competitive tune, not a replica. If you want my opinion, I would just do away with all of them and let OUTEKE or someone else thats heavily involved in that stuf create their own archive for those types of tunes. Just my thoughts on the matter.

I'd go with the replica link/page idea. That way it can still truthfully say "every tune". :tup:

Thats a good idea and all but I was just thinking it would less Adrenaline would have to deal with and let someone else who is more into that type of tuning make an arhive for these. I just think they should be kept separate from the competitive tunes.
I myself was thinking about doing a database of PP specific tunes. Breaking it down to like 600 PP, 550PP, 500 PP, 400 PP, ect. Something like that so when someone wanted say, a 500 PP tune, they could go to the database under 500 PP and quicky find what they are looking for.

That's an interesting idea...
Would require quite a bit of back tracking, through all the tunes that already exist, and REorganizing them into an entire new list... but... still a good idea.

Although, unless you're in the upmost extreme competition, I've yet to find a situation where any 'max tune' tuned down, to fit your PP doesn't work just as well.

But I would like to hear some feedback on this thought. If enough people felt it worthy, I could do this eventually.

Bringing the conversation over...

Sounds like a good idea to me. If any inventorying needs to be done I'm willing to go through a few sections to help out. Garage posts are probably OK as would be anything posted for a shootout but would you just dump tunes without a PP into "unknown"?

I assume, any tunes 'unknown' just remain on the main page. The 'PP' section would be specifically for set values. The main question and concern I would have, is how do you decide those values? Although I guess you could just use a range? 400-450, 451-500. Or do we use set values, of 500, 550 etc, and only include cars designed around a flat number. If people decide it's the former, then essentially, it's just a reorganization of EVERY tune already there. Meaning re-organizing tunes on a secondary page, listed by PP. Once within that page, Each PP value, will have to include every possible car. So, for example, there could be a 500PP "section" just as large as the entire main page of the current site. Meaning, in a worst case scenario (although not realistic) This 'PP' Page would be 26 times as long as the main page.

Does Each PP range get it's own page, or do you include all PP ranges on a single page?

More feedback would be needed before the effort to organize it cna be put into effect, to prevent tripling the potential work.


ON ANOTHER NOTE...
The Replica page is now complete, but at this current time, only includes Real Replica Tunes, and any posts by Ich122, Shhiny48, Paraclete and Jeremy_Craig, all of which were re-named properly, with the exception of one single tune, which didn't happen to be a replica.

Also, the Main page has been cleaned up quite a bit. All tunes that have dedicated pages, have finally been removed from the main page. (NASCAR, Drift, GT500, Drag, RM, etc etc) So you'll now only be able to find them in their respective section. Corrected some spacing issues, altered the headers on all the additional pages and just a general clean up with some spacing.

The GT500 page is up to 250 views in the 4 days it's been active, ranking it 4th among the sections, so assuming this isn't just an 'oh wow' factor, I'll look into all "online Restriction" categories, being given an individual page.

Um... yeah.

 

[gamerdog6482]

After exploring the new section a bit, I have come across twp tunes by Jeremy Craig that to my knowledge are not replicas. The only one I can think of now is the Lancer Evolution IX T.M.

Every tune under the Evo IX links to the replica thread... So if you're implying one of his tunes, inside the replica thread, is in fact, not a replica, then take it up with him. Otherwise, be more specific, or leave me the expletive alone.

Update Log:

- All tunes within threads ending on or before June 30th have now been added. So all of May and June are done, roughly 100 extra tunes, and leaves me at page 9 of GTP, with July and August to come this week, if I don't slit my wrists first.

- gamerdog, good riddance.

- Ciccillo's tunes were added, sorry for the missed thread, sometimes they sneak by in between pages, if a new thread is created within the window of time that it takes to click all of the windows open.

- CSLACR's BMW tune link has been updated, thank you for the notice.

- The link astonmartin mentioned was also included.

- Praiano, I've corrected the MFT link you posted, I wish they would name their cars less vaguely.

I'd also like to open a few discussions on some potential additions to the site, and some people who may be interested in becoming a part of the site, or being featured on their own section of the site. This could potentially include an exclusive reviewer, tester maybe even a tuner. I'm quite open to some ideas, but I'd like to get at least 1 (if not multiple people) a page of their own, to exclusively focus on testing and reviewing tunes straight from the site. Somewhat of a blog. If you are interested in being a part of this, shoot me a PM, or mention it here, and let me know what you have in mind. Once I get a clearer idea of what I'm looking for, I may post an application type thread in the general GT5 forum.

Another idea I had, is to begin listing tunes by Garages alternatively. I need to do my own first to give an idea of what it may look like, and would be curious as to whether A: Tuners would be interested and B: Users would benefit from this.

One of the concerns that I'm noticing with the site, is that for certain cars, too many tunes exist, and people just want to know which ones are the better option to use. So, I've been brainstorming with a friend, about potentially adding a rating system. It's currently just in theory, but if I could create a system that tracked ratings, so that people could easily see which tunes are receiving positive feedback vs negative or something similar. Even something as simple as a 'like/dislike' clickable option that tallied votes, but potentially something much more sophisticated.

Somewhat on the same note, would people support the possibility of deleting tunes, that were found to be... useless? Currently there are very few situations in which I exclude a tune from the site. It would boil down to a quantity versus quality debate, but some of these tunes have become less effective as the game progresses through the many updates to the game, that have had some effects on driving physics.

I'd still like to hear more about the 'PP' page potential idea's of how to sort or organize them. No one actually gave any input.

The GT500 page seems to be working out, so when I can, I will add the pre-determined categories, listed within the online lounge settings.

Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone... well, most of you, for your patience with the sites progress over the last few months. I'm aggressively looking to expand the site, to increase its functionality for the entire GT5 community, and I welcome all thoughts, ideas or proposals on what you guys would like to happen.

 

[XDesperado67]

In reference to your above post you might consider doing an archive section and putting all tunes done pre 2.0 in that section. They would still be accessible for those diehards that want every possible tune for their X2020GT-RMX5 but should help thin things out on your main listing.

If you did the archive thing and got some test driver assistance you could then possibly bring the best of the older tunes back, especially if you found there were no newer tunes for a given car.💡

 

[Adrenaline]

Make sure to check out the AdrenaTune page, and let me know what you think. I was just playing around last night with some of the options, and did 2 quick tunes to see what they look like.

 

[DigitalBaka]

With regard to a rating system, perhaps you could do something similar to what MyGranTurismo.net does with their pictures. You could have a 3-5 star system where visitors could rank a tune they have tried which would then calculate the overall public rating. Of course, that might require having a login system which may be more trouble than it is worth.

I thought the AdrenaTune page was quite cool, though only the Elise RM tune showed up for me. The other doc doesn't seem to be set for public access as I was a getting a restriction error. How much does that kill your bandwidth usage?

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

For the PP section (that just doesn't sound right, lol) I was just thinking of listing all cars tuned for a specific PP level in their appropiate catagory. Example: 600pp 500pp 400pp. or anyones inbetween you feel relivant. I just listed those as they are popular in the seasonal. Also, in my opinion, you should include the tunes in the seasonal forums as there are some very good PP tunes there. I know they are track specific but in most circumstances, they can be adapted to other tracks with little effort. I myself know quite a few people scour through those pages looking for past tunes. Even if you don't go with a PP section, I still think those tunes should be included on your main site with maybe a note beside them noting that they are a specific PP tune. I am more than willing to help you out with this. There are some good tunes in those threads and they shouldn't be overlooked. Just my thoughts and my opinions. Keep up the good work my friend.

 

[Adrenaline]

Uh, didn't realize they had the be 'shared' just to be seen. Corrected the FTO tune, let me know if they aren't both fitting on certain screen resolutions. They fit side by side on my screen easily, which is 1920x1080, also fit on my roommates computer, which is 1680x1050, and finally they seem to fit on a macbook, which according to a google search is 1280x800. On my Galaxy Nexus, in desktop mode I can see 1 of them, but the one I see overlaps the one next to it, in mobile mode, they're huge and I can't fit even one on the screen, lol.

 

[trackripper123]

I get overlap of boxes on my 1366x768 screen. Perhaps a little smaller still?

Ending on or prior to, July now added. Just August and the big garages left.
Cargorat, if you want to take charge of the Season Event section, shoot me a PM, and I'll explain what layout I need them in, and I'll create a new page once I get August all finished up.

Sorry about not getting you the rest of the tunes. If I have the time in the next few weeks I'll send you the rest and then try and keep up on sending you new tunes as they are posted. Thanks.

A slight small error Adrenaline: You've listed my Ford RS200 tune as a Toyota Altezza RS200 or some sort, just something I noticed while browsing, not a big issue.

Top job nonetheless though, invaluable to everyone here, massive thanks from me. 👍

How's it coming Adrenaline?

Football season started... as did 3 GT5 Leagues I'm in. Haven't been keeping up with the Tuning forum, but added the 3 DLC cars, and the 5 tunes for the HSV I found. The garage list in the post above is still accurate.

On top of that PD, seems to have ruined my precious tunes with 2.08, so I've been trying to figure out what adjustments need to be made.
