Signage

[palmbay45]

I need some help making signs for an area I am working on. I am pretty new to modding so any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to know what files I need create and how to edit them correctly for use in the game.

 

The initial image would look something like this:

Is there no one that can answer my question? How do I create a sign like the image above to use in my game?

Grab Gimp and Gimp DDS plugin. Just google it. Open your image in GIMP and save as DDS.

 

Go to GECK and create a new textureset pointing to your new texture (put your new texture in Data/textures/... some folder in order for GECK to find it).

 

Then go look for a 3d model of a billboard or something like that. In the Edit Model window, there should be a bunch of textures, right click on the one which looks most important and click New --> navigate to your new texture and double click. That should replace the texture in there.

 

If you want just one model with the new texture, then you have to copy off the object in question and create a new object and THEN change the new object's texture.

 

It might look a bit weird so you may have to tweak it a little bit later on.
