Sign sizing

Post by cmhbob »

Would it be possible to set a fixed sign width and let a sign add lines? I use them for planning purposes and I'd rather have a sign that's 25 characters wide and three lines tall than one that's 75 characters wide. I can sort-of create what I want by making multiple signs, but it's not easy to place them so they read well.

My other idea, which is likely much more involved, would be to create a in-game notepad system that ties to a map pin where I can add a long note for each pin.

Multi-line signs of arbitrary length can be abused in multi-player games, but I don't see any problems with enabling them in single-player.

Ah, that's something I hadn't considered, because I never play MP. Fair point, though.
