Heh yeah, and ain't each side of an octagonal stop sign supposed to have the same length? Your side lengths go all wild :-D

Additionally (but a little nitpicky), "Verdana" is probably the very last font I'd use for signage. The font was created by Microsoft solely for screen usage, it looks awkward in print or larger sizes. Signage for the US can usually be lettered with the font "Interstate", which was created in the spirit of highway signs. Germany also sports a nice font family for their signs, called "DIN Schrift".

Sorry for the rant, but I just can't stand ugly fonts :D

Oops, my fault :oops: But they're both nearly identical and from the same guy... he must've been real lazy to just clone his own font and resell it to Microsoft o_O

BTW, the font "Interstate" I mentioned isn't freeware, but there's a freeware clone named "Blue Highway" which does the job just as good.

Awesome stuff here guys, keep it coming. Mike you should make a locked thread with your message and you update it with all the pictures so people can just browse your thread for the approved textures. It would make scrolling easier and than it would be less of a problem to talk about the textures in here.

i know this was done before but i made a new version of it ;)

It's nice, but I dont understand the rust. Most road signs are made of aluminum, which may incur some oxidation, but not like rust.

Actually, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that the rust is painted red. It's as if they took an already rusty piece of metal and slapped a stop sign over it.

Well, hello citizens of mapcore !

I'm kinda new to the forum, well this is my first topic and i just signed in to post a texture. Anyways, here you go:

C1A0_FLIPSIGN6

I was scrolling through the textures to find a good one to remake but then i suddenly saw that image and just thought, what the hell, i'll just go for it. So i just remade one of the flipsign's. Hope it's not been done already, 'cause that would really suck.

Original:

Remake:

Hope you enjoy ! Might even make all of them based on HL2

Rusty that is really crap, its remake HL1 textures, for use in a HL1 (or a hl2 hl1 mod bullshit) so dont just grab a HL2 screenshot (its not even of scientists ffs) and place some text and a gradient on it.

edit : To tired to confirm, but is that a PC gamer screenshot, /me sends you to jail.
