  • Open the in game notepad (/note)

  • Type out your sign as you would like it to appear over several lines
    (It seems 4 lines is the max, and their is also a limit to the number of characters, but not sure what this is)

  • If you havn't already done so go into options and set up keymaps for chat copy and chat paste
    (I use CTRL-ALT-C and CTRL-ALT-V personally)

  • Select your sign text in the notepad

  • Copy it using your new keymap

  • Open the Structure name interface

  • Paste your new multiline name into the box and click OK

  • Go outside and take a look at your new sign.

You can add colours in to the sign using \#000000 where the #000000 can be replaced with any number code (same codes used in html, do a quick search on the web to get an idea of what the codes are)

this method works well, but keep in mind, it seems to be a one way translation. Whenever I use it, I cannot edit the sign through the house terminal... I have to edit it in the notpad and repost it in the sign change menu.
