Most excellent!  Have you tried using  Mark-a-Route  mod to add your signs to the networks yet?  should work on elevated roads too.

This game is so awesome, I remember being a kid playing early simcity and dreaming of this day when computers would be far more capable.

How do you imagine establishing the "make your own sign", because I had a similar thought, except I was looking at it from the angle of being able to import images using a preset template of a size that varied depending on which sign you wanted. I also was thinking of a way to select various preset signs that could be edited if needed. My modding skills are fairly new but I did upload a few signs, but since I use a laptop at the moment, Skylines runs horrendously slow, so I can't upload as much.

...Not to take away from your thunder but, this is my model for a large highway. The cross post on the back is somewhat common on older signs in Virginia, where I'm from.

How can we make our own double gantries?

@eyelev that's exactly what I thought it was going to be like.

[Bipin 3,403]

Currently, there are one of two ways to make your own gantries. Either you can import your own textures with the new signage mod on the Workshop, or you can create your own textures for more complex designs with the help of my templates. For double gantries, just make two separate texture files and send them to me. I can do the rest!

[Abrams 1,744]

Thank you for the template,i've created my first highway sign!

It is availabe here:

[Bipin 3,403]

Thanks Abrams, I'll take a look! In the meantime...

Can you spot the new decals?

Enjoy!

[Bipin 3,403]

Update time!

I've uploaded my American Roadsign collection to the STEX!

Go check it out, and be sure to catch my latest delineators/barrier posts here and on the workshop:

Will you do dual lane signs, as well as roadside signs?

[gfvsims 169]

Thanks, Bipin! They look great.

[Bipin 3,403]

Thanks for the kind words @gfv1974!

I've already got a few double lane signs - four, to be exact:

I do plan on making some roadside signs as well though. If there's anything in particular that interests you, let me know. I'm always open to suggestions!

Bipin can you upload the double gantries .psd file? I'm currently making signs for airports, harbours, city exits etc. etc. Goal is to make the signs universal so all players can use them in their city's (no city names on the signs). When i'm done i will send you the package with all the .psd files so you can convert the files into signs and upload it to the workshop...

 

Like to hear from you

Please make sure you keep the layers upon export, I need to separate text from the background for the other maps, either as rasterized or non-rasterized font. I look forward to seeing what you create!

[Finny91 1]

Thx for your fast response! Do you have the "Double Gantry (Suburbs/Granby)" .psd file as well? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=673410279  Could you send it to me or upload the file? With text layers, arrows etc. It's nice to use it as a reference for the new signs.

As a test i made two new signs already. Could you tell me if this is the right format?

The reason why i use only the word "EXIT" without the numbers is to give players full possibility to place the signs wherever they want.

Keep up the good work

I found this interesting guide to edit the existing Billboard made by GCVos (Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=674514021). Saves you a lot of time if players can edit the gantry themselves. If you give permission for it. No idea if this works the same ...

Yes, that's exactly what I want. You even used the correct typeface, so a bit of my work is already done. Thanks!

Actually, my double gantry is already in the Route Marker mod. For specialty signs like this, however, custom textures are most useful.

I've been busy...

Granted, it's often because this game tends to crap out on me often, and that it is currently unplayable (the recent "crash at Paradox black screen" issue). With that said, we'll have some new parking garages as soon as things are back to normal!

 

[Matthias King 348]

Holy. Crap.

I have that too. It's the Workshop Highlights panel causing the crash (credits to @boformer) Try starting the game without internet connected. After that you can plug it in again. Works for me, but still crashes when trying to load a game..

Instant sub, rate and favorited! Can I pre-rate this?

[gfvsims 169]

Yeah, I still have to disconnect from the internet before starting the game. I've never played a game quite as finicky as this one.

That garage looks awesome, @Bipin! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[Bipin 3,403]

Consider it done!

 

 

See for yourself and download your new parking garage right here!

 

 

[Bipin 3,403]

Seawalls?

Barges?

Get 'em right here!

 

Now on the Steam Workshop: Corrugated metal and concrete pier assets, plus two new barges. The first of their kind in Cities Skylines!
