Hello,

I need to use UK signs, but they use the old sign format, so I need to know how to add city names to that dropdown menu that has all the existing city names in it for the sign...

Or alternatively, is there an easy way to convert a UK sign to the new sign format?

OK I thought I found out how to add a city name. I found the tobj and dds, and mat file locations. I copyed one, edited them, made sure the mat and tobj were pointing to the right files, and started the map editor. (btw the name of the city I added was "bangor") so then I made a sign, and from the dropdown, found the city name overlay I created it. But right when I press it, the game crashes... so that is the problem

How did you edit the TOBJ exactly?

Same to me; it crashes when I open the editor.

I used SCS Tool that Nico made a long time ago. When I edited the tobj there was this "game type" option when I tried to save it that listed all SCS games except ets2... So I set the game type as German truck simulator... Could this be the problem? What should I use then?
