Hey guys, I know how to make coloured text and stuff, now I'm wondering how can you write some text on multiple lines on the shop sign (is there a line-break code or something) ?
Thanks

You have to do the sign in something that can cope with multiple line (/notepad is a good start) and the copy and paste it into your sign (make sure you map your copy and paste commands, most people use Shift-Ctrl-C and Shift-Ctrl-V).
You'll only see a single line of your sign in edit mode, but it will all be there.
The copy and paste commands are listed under chat-copy and chat-paste in the keymap I think.

I don't know about a line limit, but there is a character limit.

Yes, there is a character limit (I think it's either 128 character or 256).
Be aware that the character limit includes all the formatting character (so a colour change counts as 8 characters) and the line breaks (which I think count as two characters).

I just wish they'd fix the store sign placement problem on the round generic planet houses.
