Hello,
there are some polish highway signs which are non templated. I want to turn them into templates and edit them, does somebody know how to turn usual signs into templates?

Also, i'd like to ask if its hard to convert a model into a templated sign.

Best regards

You need some Blender knowledge for this.
And even after you make it templated, you still need a Polish font, Polish symbols (highway, expressway, red/yellow/green frames to place around road numbers) etc. A lot of work which will be very hard to explain.
If you're working with ProMods files, then you have all this stuff already and plenty of templated sign models available.

Hey there,
I already got the Drogowskaz font. Polish symbols arent also that hard, due Wikipedia has Creative Commons signs to use.

So, am I even allowed to run a 1:2 project with PM files? Wouldn't it be bad if the people would need PM to run the map itself? I also had the idea to contact PR Team for using their signs, but its likely they won't give me them. Thats why I want to model / use my own signs.

Best regards

You could, but if your gonna release the map for download, then everyone has to have Promods to run the map.
Which would be painfully confusing.
Keep on trucking..,

I thought PR uses our sign assets, but maybe they made their own, no idea.

I suggest to look at SCS editable signs, it'll help you understand what's going on there. Investigating existing files is a good way to learn something new ;)
