It's a part of the map editor itself.

Hey, I'm making a map for ATS and I need some help. I'm trying to make a new interstate shield on a freeway sign. What do I do? Do I Google search the shield and then drag and drop in into the template or do I use some code? I have tobj.edit so do I use it. Please give a detailed answer :D ;)

Hello.
I want to ask what program you prefer to edit .dds
Right now i using paint.net (Only program in which i can open dds), but i noticed bad effect after resize an big image.

Image

You see, smooth lines on road number (create from default stuff) and a polish motorway sign after resize an image from web.
Is there any program where i can create and dds files with good look, not only after resize?
Don't worry boys. Captain the useless ex developer is here!

I use Photoshop/Inkscape to save as .png + DXTBmp for conversion - it's a really powerful and easy to use tool that gives me the best results. Now I'm curious to see your signs, looks like you put a lot of effort into them ;)

Hello
I'm having a situation with making a new atlas for a road sign.
As this photo will show you, the new atlas is there, but it is shown in some weird texture. If you need a screenshot of my codes from an .sii or .mat file, let me know.
Here is the photo:

Can you tell me how to get the photo on?
PS: The shield is California State Route 156 is you need to see what it looks like.
Sorry If the image is blurry, blame my PC

The texture path is strange.
And are you sure you did everything correctly?

Share all your files with us and we can investigate it ;)

Okay, for the Texture path, I've modified it to what it originally was.
For the files, here is the .mat and .sii files of the atlas:
