    Real life. We've all been slammed with RL at the same time - hopefully I'll be able to get back to stuff after this week.

    I'm taking a Library Assistant / Technician certificate course at the local (40 minutes away!) community college. That, plus work, plus football = no time for SC4.

    Worry not, friends - we'll hopefully be back in the saddle again very soon!

    Can you make me a set of signs that are placed on this style gantry:

    I want this to be for RHW. I am going to request signs and put a number in "()" so you know how many lanes to make the sign. Also, after you make the signs could you also send me the models already textured, so all I have to do is put the actual sign texture on it. If you could do that, that would be great. I would do it myself, but I don't understand how to use BAT. Thanks!

    Sign Requests:

    • I want one of the sign in the picture above as well.

    I want a few more, but  haven't finishe them yet. I will edit my post when they are done.

    Thanks so much!

    @ Texan:  Thanks for stopping in!  I'm a fellow Texan, so I was excited to whip these two up real quick for you.  These are completely to TxDOT standards and SC4-RHW lane spacing:

    EDIT:  Just realized it was supposed to be IH 27, not IH 24 . . . . . that'll get fixed.

    Great job, ryanb. I like the signs for Texas.
    You should add those to that pack of American signs that was created in August. It'd be a great addition!

    This looks awesome! I love them. Would you be willing to do a few more? I am working on a Texas region based off of Dallas/ Fort Worth and a few other cities. I am trying to incorperate a few actual Texas features. Thanks again!

    I'd like to see a Chinese style sign set, perhaps, but I'm not quite sure where to find reference pictures, -- if anyone knows, could they help out?

    If there is HongKong or Taiwan, it is easy to find in google street view.2.gif

    About Mainland, it can find in chinesewiki.

     Nice signs everybody! Keep up the great work! 2.gif

     
    @Blue Lightning: Would it be possible if in your free time, could you make a tutorial on how YOU make your highway signs? That would be useful not only to me, but to many other members of the Simtropolis, and even the SimCity 4 community. Thanks! 44.gif

    Good news, folks - it looks like I'm going to be able to tackle several requests over the course of this week here, and I'll get them out just as soon as I can!

    @ zakuten & louistsw - If I come across anyone who might want to BAT some Asian signs for us, I'll give 'em a shout. 4.gif

    Hi, I've been batting some of my own signs recently, and I just want to ask, how do you get rid of the grass base textures eg. make it transparent. (BTW Maarten, your sign tutorial is excellent)

    Hi Fonzy! That looks pretty good for a Caltrans sign. Nice work!

    There's a tutorial floating around somewhere (either on the Omnibus or on SC4D) on how to make that base texture transparent.

    i would like some signs that say "Downtown - Exit 1A" or the terminal signs, or "International Airport" and things like that. It would be great if you did that! And please make sure we can read them in-game.. because all the sign packs have blurred signs I can't read..
