Currently, we have pictures of all of the Standard size parts. Dragon is organizing these to layout in a table.
ONce we get thru some of this, we will move onto micro's and then possibly the one off and etc.

Here is how I figured things should be layed out.
I have it as an image currently, but I can lay things out to be an HTML table and etc. so that it is one fluid section that can easily be modified if the need arises.
**I just placed this together quickly. Obviously, the spacing of things needs formatted better, but you get the jist of things**

Is there not a way to make the HTML code show up as it would look in the thread? (I can not seem to get it to work)
but I am working on formatting things. First how do you want things? Does HTML coding work? Or do you need it in another format?
Also if you want HTML does this code work?

I suggest you both keep working on filling that database and doing some general formatting in Word. Actual formatting on the website may be done with HTML, but possibly with BBCode. A separate page will be made for it.

We could potentially put this in a database like the coasters database. My only question right now is if it would mess up the rides made link on the posts are not with multiple instances of it, but that would be something for me to figure out.

In what I sent across, basically the only thing missing was maybe a few pictures and also, a full listing of where the parts can be found.
So aside from the one offs and etc. the standard parts are complete.

uhnn, but how are we going to make the final?and the links to each pieces.
do we contact a member of the site to make the links tags?
i´m going to get the one off parts so we close the standart and them going to micro-knex.

I know I sent across files awhile ago. I did not know if anyone has had a chance to look at those files. Please let me know what I can do fix any issues (such as missing parts or descriptions etc) so that this project can move forward.

I have read through the files. I will post a template within a couple of weeks. In the meantime, can you take pictures of all the different parts you own yourself? The pictures in the files are of very poor quality, IMO, and are not unified. I'd like to have all pictures in the same size. The best way, I think, is for you to take new pictures.

The pictures being similar is not a problem. I have high resolution files, and can make them uniform. The files got compressed being in Microsoft word. I just wanted to have everything laid and get approval before hand.

Do any of you guys know something about the project? I only managed to contact Gump.
He told me that the site has it's own needs but since i have some free time i,d like to know if is there something i can do.
I though about checking the pieces locations (sets, thrill rides, etc.) And i just wanted to be sure of it is ok to do it.
