Print Your Own Decals

Description
This mod will let you print your own decals

You will find it in the MadHatter category in Assets (Top Hat Icon)

Options are
Decal ..... Select a decal
Chr size .... Set the size of text used
Colour ....... Yellow or White

Decals need to printed on FLAT ground - paint any tarmac/gravel etc first

There are two ways to use this mod simple and advanced

Simple way
Decals have been defined for some commonly found UK decals
Decals have been defined for the letters A to Z and numbers 0 to 9
So you can place them down letter by letter and spell anything you like

Advanced way
There is a strings.lua file typically found here->
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1066780\2158924782

It can edited with notepad.

in it you will find 54 lines similar to this -> ["mdhtr_01"] = "Visitors",
you can change the text to the right of the = to be anything you like
using the letters a to z and numbers 0 to 9 any other character will be treated as a space.

eg. "Visitors" can become "MadHatter is the best"

So the line will look like this

["mdhtr_01"] = "MadHatter is the best",

Don't forget the , on the end and leave everything to the left of the = as is

In the game any phrase in the strings.lua file can be selected from within this mod
There are 54 slots I can't imagine that you would want more decals than that.

Lastly if you modify the string.lua file. - KEEP A COPY. -
I don't expect to update this mod but if I do need to then the strings.lua file will get set back to the original version.

Try using this one
Signs and Letters

How do you rotate the text to place it on a building instead of the road?

Hi @EljeOett - It might be :) - to be honest I have no idea now. I just wanted to show that you could set the text to 'nearly' anything. However the font is very basic without any extended characters.

In the first picure, is one of the texts swedish? I ma just asking since if it is it's not very gramaticly correct

No from a mods perspective its all lua code.

As a matter of interest is the coding using any .Net Framework ?

because that's a tricky thing to do it would need a text box to accept your typing. Whilst not impossible its more work than I wanted to do. I have done it for another mod for street signs but it uses the game mechanic to print the text on the sign using the in game print features and the signs can be really difficult to read. The way this works takes a bit of thought if you want to alter the string.lua file but it isn't overly complex to code and the end results are quite pleasing.

Why cant you type text in from the game play?

Would it be possible for directional sign to place on roads? i.e arrrows, give way....

Now also with Colour choices White / Yellow

I hope everybody followed instructions and backed up their string.lua file if they changed it
