How to create custom road signs?

[Mattz]

I was wondering, how to make custom road signs? And how would that work with the locator files, so all players can see them without downloading them separately?

Although this is for TMU, it's all the same. Make signs in a resolution of 2x1 (512x256 or 1024x512 for example)
On this page is also a link for how to make locators.

Making signs isn't too difficult. Making good ones takes more attention.
Elmigo has made Hundreds of signs. I'll suggest he look at your post. Maybe he could give you some tips.

Thanks, the reason why I'm not using existing signs is that I need specific ones, with specific colors.

I've made a few for that very reason as well. If you get stuck just give a holler and someone will help. A small tip: add a layer of texture and they'll look better. It's worth the time.

you can still create .bik files for animated signs as well, but only signs too my knowledge. (although Nadeo uses .bik much less now, if at all). I use an old Jasc PSP gif animator, then use bink and smacker to create the .bik file and you can wind up with some nice warning/animated arrow signs that remain a nice, small downloadable size. (Stay away from the Corel crap...they ruined what was a nice program when they bought out Jasc.)

Thanks for the tips.
