Thread: House Signs
on the outside of the building, would be a little neon logo, which would show what was being sold inside.
Need the options for at least 2 logos/signs/banners, or have them designed with 2-3 different item types on them. I sell both clothing and armor (obviously) and want to catch people for both.
Am I missing something else?
fix the bug where these signs float 10m in front of the house
Well that's the good news, it means the sign is a separate object and thus could conceivably be changed separate of an entire new model of house.
And you can change the sign text, but you don't actually see the text on the sign. We're talking about a sign where you'd actually see something as you walked by.
I had suggested that different levels of advertising would add complexity to the sign, perhaps the first level just indicated it was a shop, where the top level had some text and a graphic of what you were selling.

I'm a bit confused. I do change the sign outside my house/shop. It's on the "set name" option of the control panel. Mine currently says "Welcome to the BlueCo Five and Dime (Yes, we have fresh fishing bait!)" I was suprised I could get something that long.

They're not talking about changing the text of the sign - they mean a sign that is recognizable from a distance - say a "Red Cross" sign if you were doctor/selling medicines, etc.
The worst part of the current signs is that they are tiny, you have to be on the right side of the house and click on it (if it is even there!!!). Why can you click on any part of a harvester/factory/etc. and see the name, but you have to find the little tiny sign to see the name of a house?
Also, I moved from a small house to a medium house next door last Wednesday and destroyed the small house - but the sign is still there!
for what its worth, the sign on the large tatooine house is 10 meters INSIDE the house. I discovered that when I got trapped in my house by a rebel base spawn and found that I could 'fall' inside the geometry and then wander around in the 'basement' of the house.
more on topic, I agree... it would be fantastic to get a selection of banners/signs that can be seen from a slight difference.

I would love to see signs that you can place INSIDE a house. Like the ones in town.
I've seen a category for them in the bazaar. Were they dropped in beta, or have I just not found one?
I'd love to be able to put up a sign my customers could read that explains powerups and what affects what etc. As it is though I have to rename a backpack or something.
