Signs

[volum]

Hey,

I know many use their own signs and mods, but many uses only stuffs that are only found from editor, or dont want to hassle with stable working url for biks, or dont have skills to make own signs. My suggestion would be: could it be possible to have more signs, like 3-5 different styles for each direction? So you could use different looking signs for each designs and looks straight from the editor.

They should also finally add signs like U-turn, S-curve, center and diagonal. I always wondered why they never made those signs, you need them quite often and signs don`t take very long to make for a graphics designer(especially these really plain looking ones they made for Canyon).

Just wait for TMX sign pack to update. Then you have more signs than you actually want

These custom signs always have the same problem. People who dont have the pack wont see it unless it comes with locators for each sign.
Imo they should just let the community send them their sign packs and they choose whichever pack they find best to include with release. I bet many sign skinners would love it if Nadeo included theirs

Seconded, a basic set of signs would be useful.

There is already a sign pack by maupi available, but it would be indeed pretty awesome if a "complete" sign pack would already be included at the release and you won't have to dl all signs (which would suck if your connection is so slow that you need to disable p2p).

I totally agree with Keras. We need more standard arrows so the trackmakers can make creative tracks and at the same time place arrows hinting about where to go. Tracks suited for 4-player split screen and online need to be easily manouverable without having to check the GPS.

Also it would be nice if there was a building block like 9-3-6(diagonal gate) with a skinnable ad. Then we could use it to tell drivers to make 45 degree turns instead of just send them somewhere to the left or right.

Totally agree with Keras here too. If the tracks use custom signs that rely on some random webservers out there to respond and work for several years (Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess that's how locators work?), as time goes by more and more tracks will have useless add signs as domain names disappear or URLs break for whatever reason.

Hm.. It would be nice if the custom signs could assign a fallback sign from the standard set in case webservers go down or urls break, then the signs wouldn't be useless in the worst case scenario.

Keras is wise, listen to him/her.
Listen to me too for that matter

Great Idea!

I still think more standard signs would be benefitial!

However Mania Exchange has a massive sign pack here with 946 signs: http://tm.mania-exchange.com/threads/vi ... -946-signs

Mania Creative has 3 sign pack here: http://services.mania-creative.com/index_signs_tm2
MAC Signs for Track makers (18 signs)

Follow the mania link on Mania Creative to get 2 more sign packs:
Doben's wooden signs (89 signs)
Cicci Picci's blue metal signs (91 signs)

Use these since they already have locators and the files are hosted on their servers for everyone to use.
It's not as robust as standard signs but a million times better than people using random servers everywhere to upload their own signs.

I had more incoming signs packs
