I'm not too sure about the varieties of European signs (I'm familiar with the US variety myself), but I have to say they do look good. I hope you get some good leads on the requests.

I changed the top post, since this topic isn't running so good. Now you can request for any sign.

Here u go

I would like you to do a few combination's

Hey, Maarten- we're always looking for signs over at 3RR.  I'll be watching this thread with lots of interest.  If I can be of assistance with anything you are thinking about making ploppable, let me know.

Some Swedish motorway signs. They are pretty generic so other's could fine use for them as well.

I don't know excactly what you mean:
1. Do you mean I-91 and I-95 exits 1 to 55 or I-91 Exit 1 and I-95 Exit 55. If you mean the first one: That's too much work. By the way, my signs are mostly general.
2. mystic aquarium; I have no idea what you mean with this. Also, I don't have a RL pic of it.
3. Your third request, I can't make it up what you excactly want.

Streetlight 725, you've asked Maarten for at least 10 different signs alone, and now you're pestering him about whether or not they're done?

Relax and exercise some patience, Maarten is not only doing you a favor, but trying to do so for everyone else.

I got a lot of requests like "I-91 West/East" or something like that. Honestly, I get a bit tired of that, because I want to make signs that are maybe not so deatailed, but can be used in many situations. Good examples:

As you can see, the signs are not very clear, but they can be used in many situations. What's better?: hundreds of different clear signs that is specificly ment for one situation, or a few general signs that can be used in many situations? Getting my point? And making many different signs will take a huge ammount of time. I have two other projects running, one MD to keep up and a real life to live. In other words: I can't work 24/7 on the signs. So please be patient, I'm just a man.

I hope this will clear up some things,
Maarten

Maarten,

I am in no hurry. You are doing a great job on the signs. If I knew how to edit the models
I would make them. Anyway I was just asking, if you don't have the time don't worry about
it. It is not a big deal.  :)

Thanks,
Rich

Great job on those signs.  When I was heavily into SC3k, I used to make Interstate Highway markers with the Building Architect Tool that came with the unlimited version of the game.  What type of image files do you use to make your signs?

great job on these sign Maarten  :thumbsup: realy nice

mrtnrln,I downloaded your other signs before.They were detailed.You can take your time on my signs.

Very fine work here, there are very réalistic  :thumbsup:

In said case of wanting semi-generic signs, would you be able to do a set (along the style of those GTR ones) with a generic but not-actually-existent design if I make some mockup sign faces for you? Or would that be far too much?

Edit: Also, what set is that in the 3rd pic with the Autoroute signs? Is it the same as on the first post in the thread? And if not, where might it be found?

@Zakuten: Yes, I can do that. And by the way, those french autoroute signs are recently published on ST. The one from the top post was another pack from the ToutSimCity site.

@Streetlight725: Ok, would you mind if I made your sign request more generic? (for example, you don't have a specific CTE-route 9, but just a CTE-Route sign)

Yes,The signs could be more generic.CTE Route signs just say 9 East/West.

I think i figure out what it was: it's a sign used to indicate when the emergency breakdown lane is open to drivers. ( in order to ease heavy traffic in German cities.)...... Then again I could be wrong.

This is a very nice application but you still have to be able to get it from the image to the game. This is way above my head.

Maarten, maybe could you give me some direction as for how to submit what signs I'd like? i.e. template dimension proportions or something? And what various types you can produce as well.

Maybe using a sign generator, would help?

Unfortunately, that won't work, as I'm making signs that don't conform to those options easily at all. The only thing I could really do with that is leech blank rectangles to work from. Which is why I want to know which rectangles are acceptable.  ;)

@Zakuten: I have no template actually. I just make the signs fit. And I can produce any type of sign you like. By the way, can you make a sketch for me of the design of the signs?

Of course, that's what I'm working on. I was just making sure you didn't use some sort of standard size first; didn't wanna present you with something you couldn't work with.

What exactly is that you do to make them overhanging? Do you export them with them not in the center, or maybe a different method?

Heres a VMS in my city.
Details
Northbound on I-91 approaching Hartford, CT, we see a VMS message that wise guys might say belongs on a permanent sign.All the signs in Connecticut have the same function.If the message is long,it would go back to the first then secend message. Photo taken April 2004 by Kurumi.

Website of all the signs and highways: http://www.kurumi.com/roads/index.html

how about a retro sign--A yellow Stop Sign from the 1950's. Yellow Stop Signs was mounted on many streets until the mid-1960's and was slowly replaced with the Red Signs.

(example of a "yellow Stop Sign" http://www.millenniumhwy.net/summa/summa-Pages/Image493.html )

Oh man, I don't know what you mean by 1950's, because there is this rural area in my state that that still has those yellow STOP signs by this diner. The road also has a solid white line down it, and there is a rail road crossing that shortly after the intersection, after the diner with a diamond shaped signal that has a stop sign waive over a flashing red light when the train comes. This road sometimes has buses attached to electric cables driving down it. That might be why the one side has the yellow, while the ones crossing are still red. Sorry to get off topic, but maybe yellow may not be a bad idea, since the game also has this kitsch/1950's feel to it when you first start out with the Maxis stuff.

Oh yeah, also if you want a Real Electric Sign font, go here- http://atom.smasher.org/construction/ Then, after you type your message into the real construction sign, press your Prt Scrn button on your keyboard, open up MS paint, then press paste from the edit menu, and crop to the sign part. Voila you got yourself an electric sign texture for BAT>

I can't speak for Maarten, but I'm not making signs in anything other than HD - and I doubt I ever will.

They look very nice and also very familiar!  ;)
However, I noticed something the non-Dutch might not see:
You wrote "Leischendam" but we call it "Leidschendam"  ;)
If this isn't noticable in-game, then leave it, just telling you something that struck me when viewing it for the second time.

Keep up the good work, and good luck with future projects!

Hey Maarten welcome back man and its great to see you batting RHW Signs again!!!

Looks good!  :thumbsup:
Can't wait to place them near my highways!  ;D

Good to see that you're updating the HWS pack.  :thumbsup:

they look great can't wait to download these !

I've already made 66 motorway portal sign models and now I will continue with creating 'rural' motorway signs and the national route signs.

Keep watching this thread!

Best,
Maarten

Way to motor along, Maarten!  Keep up the great work!

Hey Maarten looking real great here!! Is there a chance to going T21 with these bad boys or would that be a pain in the you know where?

Well, Pat. The thing is that with T21, the game doesn't know if you are building an interchange or an exit. I've three - no, wait - SIX different signs you can place on the same RHW-piece. So I think T21 this signs would be impossible to make any sense.

Best,
Maarten

EDIT: Here is the very first in-game pic.

Oh wow!
That's very, very nice, I can even read what city is on the sign (HD rocks!)

I second that! It's great to finally see the text on those kind of signs. Now you can make custom signs for every exit, ect you want!  ;D

looking real nice, just wondering what pack you are going to update after the Dutch one...

WC_EEND, let's hope he does the Belgian ones, that'll be really good for us, wouldn't it  :P

Yes, it would!

These are looking real splendid, Maarten! I can't wait to use them.

Maybe it's dissapointing to hear, but I'm planned to do the belgian ones after the brittish set. Why? Because there's no LHD signage set that's compatible with the RHW 3.0.

Back on development of the Dutch signage set; I've 72 signs ready to be used in-game. The only thing these signs need are icons (details, man!) Here are the screenies (WARNING: Images are in PNG-format to show every detail. People with slow internet connections, beware!):

I really need to update my VSM's.

lovely work once more, and I understand your decision to do the british ones first, I am however still hoping the Belgian ones are next (I wonder why though...)

Lovely, just freakin' lovely!  ;)

Looks great, Maarten! Can't wait to use them! (btw British is with only one t :))

Very nice! I can understand the 'lopende band-werk' feeling  :P

Wow, looking fantastic Maarten!  Keep up the great work!

You're a sign-making master!   $%Grinno$%

i am now drooling asphalt freeways for those excellent signs to be placed on! &apls

Maarten, your new Dutch HD motorway signs look fantastic! :thumbsup: I really like that you've chosen to make the "classic" Dutch motorway signs and that you haven't chosen to make the Dutch "modern" motorway signs. I like those "classic" ones with the arrows down to the road instead of the "modern" ones with the arrows up. In my opinion the "modern" ones looks "less Dutch" than the "classic" ones, that's why I like the "classic" ones.

For those who don't live in The Netherlands: left a "modern" sign and right a "classic" sign.

Very nice!! I'm quite interested in using some of these signs myself... Dutch signs are just about identical to those you can find in British Columbia ;D

I'm not sure what design I want to use for the Belgium Motorway sign set, so it's up to you to decide. You can choose the:
   - Portal design
   - Bold signs (nightlighted) or flat signs
   - Real Life design or my own re-design

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg27.imageshack.us%2Fimg27%2F2548%2Fsignbat8.th.jpg&hash=e30ff2ee8dfa06aee6f05cde71cc09017edd8db2) (http://img27.imageshack.us/my.php?image=signbat8.jpg)

Please give your opinion about these signs. I can only make one combination, so it's up to you all to decide which combination it will be.

Best,
Maarten

I'd go for the bold one as they are the closest to the real life ones, furthermore they look really great, I was just wondering if is going to be one with an airport exit indicator and one for ring roads?

Again, I'm REALLY REALLY glad the Belgian ones are in the works :thumbsup:

I love the signs. Of course Id like Swedish signs but this will do  :thumbsup:

They look fantastic and dispite them being non-swedish signs, they're close enough. I'll use them for sure!

My preferred combination would be portal design #1 combined with flat signs :)
And since we use the E-road numbers as national numbers in Sweden, I prefer the original design.

I can't wait 'til you release them! Good work!  :thumbsup:

Any chance of making just a generic (you can't read the letters) American style signs or route markers (U.S. Highway, Interstate)?? Here's something I made which is just a generic mileage sign to use in my cities:

I'm still fairly new to the BAT so im requesting some route markers. Thanks!

Very good work, these Belgian signs looking great  :thumbsup:
I prefer the portal design #2, the bold signs and your Re-Design, cause we've got A-numbers in Germany too.

But I like it too, if you begin BATting swiss signs!

Hi everybody,

While talking about making Signs RHW 3.x compatible i'd like to introduce the idea of adding them as T21s directly to the lots....
I've been recently experimentig on some with an old model i found on my harddrive...
It was quite a hard pieca of work to figure out how T21s work i finally made it for the RHW4 AStyle exit ramp.
Here's the result. (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg35.imageshack.us%2Fimg35%2F305%2Ft21platzierung.jpg&hash=da3e205b5f1c6542cb27a7a0cd14ceafc218fe84) lot's of room next to the road..... ;D
What do you think about it?

Something else i always wanted to try is to make T21s for the Maxis Highways as well... i'll see if i can get that to work.....

Wow &apls, i like it , are you going to make a Pack and release them ()what()

Hmm, somehow I have missed this posting... Nice work with the T21! It's the wrong sign for this purpose (it has four lane arrows), but as a proof of concept, it definitely works. ;) Any chance for German RHW signs? :)

So this means we won't have to always plot our signs soon?

Nice work, pitty. But I'm still stick with ploppables, so I have full control which sign comes where.

just out of curiosity: How are the signs coming along?

I actually prefer lots myself due to their larger variety but i think T21s are a nice alternative saving room and making menu lists much shorter...
I might make a full version of this adding even more signs and other props for better "traffic flow" :D

By the way is their any chance of another guard rail addon mod for the RHW mrtnrln?

Maybe, I'm a bit 'occupied' now, if you know what I mean

whoops, that's true :P forgot about that for a few seconds

when you have a chance could you make a sign for my city journal Aleksania (part of AIN)?

Thanks, but what I actually meant was the small piece above that (white in greyish background)

That's "Ring Liège". I've used RL pictures to replicate those signs. It's at the interchange where the A13/E313 and the A601 split. Some signs are a bit modified, so they make more sense. For instance, the sign that says "Leuven" is bigger in real life:

But you see why I made it smaller in my model.

Best,
Maarten

well, if you need any more RL pictures, just tell me and I'll go take some pictures

Well, there are plenty of photo's I can use on wegenforum.nl, don't worry. The Wegenfoto's section contains photo's from (almost) every motorway in Belgium.

Okay, btw will there also be signs for N-roads included?

Not specific. I divide the signs in three groups of roads.
- Primary Motorways (E-numbered motorways)
- Secondary Motorways (A-numbered motorways or Ring roads)
- Other Roads (N-numbered roads or roads without any number)

May I humbly request diagonal British signs?
Or if you're too busy the means to make them myself? (I've never modded before)

I'm currently quite busy now with making textures for the upcoming version of the RHW. This project is actually more like a backburner at the moment. You can do it yourself. BATting signs is not so very hard  ;). In fact, if you know how the BAT works and you now how to model some signs, this shouldn't be any problem.

To those who need their own highway signs. Since Maarten is busy, if you want pre made BAT render highway sign models you can personalize, type artforce_1 in the google search of the simtrop stex, type artforce1, again, without the _ to see more BAT models.

... or you can use my sign models on the STEX  ;)

You were very helpful when it came to highway signs.  :)
Sorry to see you won't be taking any new requests.

P.S. I'm working on a 'Standard RHW sign set' if anyone wanted to know. It will be out on the STEX soon.

Some signs i would love to see that are in the area im in... and if possible make it accustomed to the lane amount for the plopables.

yeha, i mean like that ;D

Maarten, all your signs are terrific! I love the UK sign pack.  ;)
Thank you very much.

Do you plan a update for the dutch sings?

Waar ik eigenlijk op doel, zijn er plannen voor het update van de Nederlandse set. De nieuwe stijl (NBA) borden worden overal in Nederland geplaatst, en dit zal dus ook echt de standaard gaan worden.

Maybe, but currently I'm busy with other stuff  ;)

hey maarten i recently installed the belgian road pack and i really love it!  there's some great stuff in your pack!
but i got a small little problem. When i change day into night the lightposts turn into those brown boxes.
Did i miss any Depencies or something?

It sounds like some sort of missing light-cone dependency, yeah. Not sure which one from memory, but I'm sure the directions would say...

Marteen, why did you never made german HD-Sings? :'( I know there is a big set with german sings from pitti, but I speak about HD-Sings...may, if you find time...

Don't worry, he's already working on a HD set!

He also made a french set for the RHW v2.0, but he's never updated those. I'm working on that too, as soon as I finished my Danish Set.

By the way, I working together with Blue Lightening and Ryan B. in the SC4DOT over at SimTropolis. You might want to check that out...  ;)

Best,
Maarten
