Smee is making one: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f66-pr ... ng-up.html

Anyone tell me what the names are on the sign. And mean the hidden ones.

Cheers

It seems to be saying: ''efteling'' and ''hondenafdeling''. (although not sure about the last one though. )

I think its in this order from top to bottem:

Bergen op zoom
Nijmegen
Haarlem
Oirschot
Tilburg
Efteling
Center Parcs
Hondensectie

Why would they put Bergen op Zoom on there?

EDIT: Do Bergen op Zoom anyway cause it's just awesome

Put together this afternoon. Doesn't have lightmaps so looks a bit bright. Not sure what sign font you want .

looks good

Adjust the text to the right town names and we got a winner

Neune = Neunen

sweet!

looking verry nice man!

Nice one! looking sexy without the lightmaps on gehehe!

is it all brand new textures or did you use any existing textures?

made them up. 512px x 512px nothing special . pretty small that ok

just one 512x512 crack texture? any other colour, detail or dirt textures etc and what DXT values where they saved at?

Changed the font, was hard to read, and really was looking messy. sorted out the speculary, was having problems with the alpha sorted now. applied the tweak file and works in bf2

sign_post_cr 512 x 512 256k dxt 1

sign_post cr 512 x 512 129k dxt 5 + alpha
null_deb from pr folder
null_crb from pr folder

that's a lot of custom textures and that would be about to 1mb of extra memory used, just for a small sign post... the point of texture pallets is that each little static dont need its own texture

just think, if you had like 5 signs in a map, with that same setup, that would be like 5mbs of RAM used up... and if every static used it, damn.

Try and keep to the pallets where you can.. Really if you made your mesh well you could make that basically the same it is now, using current pallets and a new crack texture for the words and be like a few kbs for the texture...

'[R-DEV wrote:AfterDune;1023421']Hm, not really, but here's a picture of the thing in real life:

Regarding the exact text (the top ones are missing in the pic), I'm sure we can dig that up for you .

Did ask that question but your right. Its a big consideration. Will make some changes

Is there a texture list that for Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan.

I thought that once it loaded the texture it was reused, not allocating more ram for the same texture. only would be 5mbs if you had 5 different signs . If they all used the same texture it would still only be 1mb? Thats why they have pallette.

I mean't 5 different custom signs all with there own textures like that... Ye, if you placed 5 of the same size it would still only use 1mb of texture memory but I can't see you placing more than 1 of that sign on a map.

Ok. gotcha

null_deb from pr folder
null_crb from pr folder

Grand total 214k hows that and think looks lot better too it's like i've been on a credit crunch

ye that's fine, just do not get in the habit of making custom textures for every static you make

Where you can, use existing textures and only when you really need a new texture and there is no other way about it, then you make a new one

My statics use 95% of existing textures, for example that container handling crane I made, very complicated static but in the end the only textures I made for it was new textures for the wheels and a Black and Yellow stripe colour texture, other than that was all vBF2 and PR textures
