RTB Gallery System

[Ephialtes]

I'm going to do a bit of work on this, but I need some ideas on the categories for save files. I'm thinking something along the lines of "Deathmatches", "RPGs" etc. but It'd be worth getting an idea of what categories people would like, so shoot!

[Ad Bot]

[captain blue]

Demo Builds?

Terrain Builds

Clan Builds

[Solid]

House Builds

Floating Builds

Ocean Builds

Mechanical Builds
Plus all of captain blue's.

I think separating by function or usage would be best, not by style specifically.

[Tingalz]

Event Setups

Tutorials

Like that?

Ah, okay.

[Chrono]

General Purpose (Like appeal, however there's room for expansion for lets say... deathmatches and such. Probably cities should go in here)

Appeal (Builds that are meant to look nice and just that.)

Games (Event-style games. Deathmatches excluded. Something like pong.)

Minigame (Deathmatch-style games. Spawns setup and stuff.)

Challenges (Yep you know what this is)

And for a special section: Clan Applications (Self explanitory)

And it should also try to get which add-ons are required for the save.

[Space Guy]

Demo Builds (must be "Demo ..." and <=150 bricks)
Small Builds
Large Builds
Terrain Builds
Featured Builds or Top-Rated
Minigames (by game mode or something?)
Challenge Builds
Event Contraptions

Demo players can't even use RTB.

Edit: Oh and I forgot challenges.

They can download saves from the website, though.

Would it maybe work to give a build a style and function so that people could choose to search/browse by either? I was thinking something like:

Style:
Medieval
Futuristic
Houses
City/Mic. Buildings
Terrain
Misc.

Function:
Deathmatch (Subcategories by gamemode?)
RPG
Demo
Challenge
Event
General Purpose
Appeal

And probably also have top rated/featured builds. What would be neat is if maybe every week a few builds were selected to be featured as a featured build for that week, the number depending on the number of build submissions recently.

It would also be cool if you integrated it with RTB Clan (which I can't use) by allowing people to select a "Clan App" option and enter the name of the clan, the leader/members will recieve a notification (depending on a setting changable by the clan leader?) and can vote yes/no (or another method, perhaps also selectable by the clan leader), if the app is accepted then it will be indicated on the build's page, and if it is denied it will also be indicated.

I like this idea.

The only thing I don't like is that there's no broad event section.

Add
"Event contraption" or something to your list.

With clan apps there would need to be a way to register a clan to RTB.

This is a good plan
