Pictures on big SIGNS / Billboards

[CrixzGamez]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had or could make a tutorial on how to add pictures to signs? 

Iv seen this on a couple of servers, and looked around on the web.. Havent really found anything "helpfull"

If you wonder what I mean here is a picture example:

Hi,

 

The map file is located in the root of my mission file.

Ok, but it looks like you are storing the code for your sign in the mission.sqf (I would use a seperate .sqf file), which is in the server side files (dayz_server.pbo) but yet you have no path to the .jpg file. Shouldn't you need to specify a path to that jpg file if it's stored someplace other than the code?

Hi,

 

When I first started to figure this bit of code out, I started in the editor. I loaded up epoch and origins and then ctrl E for editor , and dropped into a mission.sqf file all the sign classes I could find in the editor vehicles list.

Then I started to fiddle with the code to make the jpg show up. I found by putting this:

 

this setObjectTexture [0, "test.jpg"]

 

into the object init field for the "WarfareBunkerSign" and putting the jpg file in the editor mission folder I managed to get an image onto the sign.

 

Looking at the code inside the editor mission.sqf Arma translates the above to:

 

_this setVehicleInit "this setObjectTexture [0, ""test.jpg""]";

 

The jpg is 512x512 and that was the format I found that worked.

 

So when I came to add it to my testserver, the mission.sqf section went into the mission.sqf and I just dropped the jpg's into the mission root folder.

 

I do seem to remember fiddling around with the jpg format and which type of sign it was before I got it to work.

 

As soon as I got it working on the "WarfareBunkerSign" I didn't test out any more sign types. If you saw the product of my skills with images (think non-existent, the images I have are placeholders for what my minds eye can see), you would immediately know why.

Yeah I was talking about the big "AD" billboards.  I thought that was what the OP was talking about.

 

Here's one I made to replace the sunflower man near skalisty:

I did a bunch.  If anyone works them out, I'll post em all.
