[frl]myke 14 Posted October 9, 2008 ***UPDATE*** GLT Signs 1.1 (previously GLT Billboards) ========================================= This pack contains 12 objects which can be textured on your own (in fact they have to, or they will be transparent/invisible). Sample pictures are also provided in the templates folder. For each sign you'll find a .png with a pic. Use this to create your own road signs or billboards. After creating your own .png pic, you have to convert it into .paa format. Also keep the ratio in a power-of-2 aspect (64,128,256,512,1024) or it will not work properly. Classnames: =========== glt_billboard_big glt_billboard_narrow glt_mapstand glt_roadsign_octagon glt_roadsign_rectangle glt_roadsign_round glt_roadsign_square glt_roadsign_triangle glt_stand_sign glt_wallmount_40x120 glt_wallmount_150x50 glt_wallmount_300x90 For each object you'll find a corresponding .png in the templates folder. Only exception is the glt_mapstand but this object you know as board with the Sahrani or Rahmadi map. To add the textures, use this line in the init of the objects: this setobjecttexture [0, "name_of_pic.paa"] All objects have one plane that can be textured except the glt_stand_sign (you know them as the "Danger" signs). They can be textured each side for it's own. Just replace 0 with 1 for the other side. Known bugs: =========== No known except the fact that setobjecttexture has to be re-applied after loading a saved game in SP. But this is an arma bug. Credits: ======== All Objects are original BIS models. Some minor changes were made by myself.

[frl]myke 14 Posted October 10, 2008 @i0n0s Quote[/b] ]But one question about the 512 x 456: This is a non power of two texture and shouldn't work. Uhm..yes...i think you're right. But i guess this can be fixed easy by just scaling the pic to 512x512 after the design is done. It will scaled back to billboard size ingame. @fabiantronic Quote[/b] ]The commando setObjectTexture it's MP compatible Yes, should be. It has a (arma)bug in SP as when loading a saved game, textures have to be re-applied. @Stewy Quote[/b] ]Would you consider a blank roadsign pack too Sir? Like a few different sign shapes (rectangles, etc) First, everyone who calls me "Sir" has to invite me to a whiskey. Second, i'll think about it but i think the roadsign collection in ArmA is pretty complete. But as i'm also thinking about the Danger signs, it wouldn't be much work to do these also. No promises but i'm thinking about it. @Big & ofpdeadeye Thanks for the Mirrors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_eyeball 16 Posted October 11, 2008 Great work. Been waiting 1.5 years for this to be done. Apart from obvious uses, adding custom island maps and signs in bases for armoury, medic centre, transport, etc will be good. Two minor issues for v1.1: - Upon initial loading, one of the boards reports an error message: "Cannot load texture: glt_billboards\sample_wide.paa". Edit: fixed in 1.11 - The paa files work fine, but I could not get any png file to work. It would say "Cannot load texture C:\....\missions\test.intro\glt_roadsign_rectangle.png".

[frl]myke 14 Posted October 11, 2008 @ Big & Stavanger Thanks for updating the mirrors. First post edited. @Dr. Eyeball I know that .png or .jpg wont work somehow, thats why i wrote in the first post to convert them to .paa. :EDIT: Quote[/b] ]- Upon initial loading, one of the boards reports an error message: "Cannot load texture: glt_billboards\sample_wide.paa". Erm...yes....wrong filepath in the p3d. I've fixed it and uploading fixed version while i type here. :EDIT2: Temporary download for version 1.11 - fixed: error message "Cannot load texture: glt_billboards\sample_wide.paa" http://senduit.com/8ca833 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
