Well just from the moment i save it, i don't know with which name where and how to save it so i can use it in the map. If I knew it I would work like much quicker 'cause now i need to wait and i don't have much time to work but anyway could you help me out?

Edit-1:
Adding to that problem i don't know how to make a working parking lot which i could use at the moment...

Edit-2:
Did you get the message?

Well it looks like i can't change my source to my own "modfile" do you know how to fix that? So I could actually change the source to my own "modfile"?

I'm not sure what you're actually trying to say here. Please explain your problem clearly and comprehensively, because I don't understand what the problem is.

So i mean after i have made my sign board i need to save it. I click on the 'save as' button so i can choose where i want to save my template/board. But i when i click at source in the upper left corner, i don't see my own <<mod_file>>. In my case <<mod_gabi>>. I can't change the base to my own folder... So even though i have made one according to your tutorial, it won't appear. Do you know what the problem is? I will provide a photo soon with the problem.

(First, i working on 1.28 version because i can't working on this horrible ME from 1.30 version)

I have two mod_ folders, one for ProMods and one for my own. If i creating template and in save choosing source mod_ folder for ProMods, nothing bad happens. But if i choose my (Actually empty) own folder and try to save template there, nothing happens and if i try to save template after click X button (And ask "Do you want save changes?") editor show me message "Error while saving the template".
That means i can't have more than one mod_ folder or i have something wrong with files?

Edit:
Problem solved. Just because i have some my own templates in main game folders game couldn't create new template for mod_ because the name was used. Effects of creating templates without tips from this topics...

I have looked up on the new editor in 1.30, and it seems like i have got the hang of it :D
First i started to create a template. I have done that. I have also created a new board aswell.
At first i didn't know how to get my board to appear on my new template sign, but seems like i found it out, to add it on "Board ml2".
Does this even look right?
