Street signs

[Goldchocobo]

Just wondering if our wonderful art team could do a couple street sign textures. Names like "Main st", or "1st St." I could fit them on a brush no problem, though of course models would be convenient as well.

Wealthy district or poor?

Yes but not 'main st' or '1st street' they are too modern. 'Gallows Court', 'Ragdale Alley' 'Poacher's Road' something a bit Dickensian.

Any chance of implementing the Doom 3 GUI/computer interfaces stuff with the street signs, so you could theoretically fit in any name with little work without having to touch the actual texture? Or at least that's how I for some reason assume the signs in Doom 3 were made, I could be way off..

Whichever, lol.

Something like this? I can make up a batch of variants if it's what you had in mind.

Looks great. Maybe dirtier, but it's up to you

edit: Is that a model? I can't tell. if it's not, might as well remove the curves on the corners to make it more "pasteable" on a brush.

Springheel: if you could do a signpost like in St. Lucia but with a gui surface then with a suitable gui and entity the mapper need only type in xdata. I think for short text it can be typed directly into the entity property but I forget the syntax. So a mapper need only create a signpost entity then type in say xdata_contents High street.

The xdata solution is best, it also makes the signs translatable.

I was planning on making a gui version as well for those that need specific names, but it's not ideal; the text will look artificially flat and crisp and won't show up at all under fast ambient.

Ok, I've added a model with a few skins and a gui overlay (I'm not great with readables so I'm not quite sure how to use it). The textures can also be used on regular brushes for added variety.

 

The models are under decorative/signs, and the textures are under darkmod/decals/signs
