Gorgor Posted April 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 21, 2012 Bus Stop Sign Creator Website: http://scaped.net/f/file.php Database: http://scaped.net/f/database.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, I'd like to give credit to Amtrak7 for the graphics needed to create this. What this powerful tool does is allow you to create realistic looking bus stop signs. Once you visit the site you'll have to create an account, which shouldn't take more than a minute. After that everything should be pretty straight forward. There's a lot of features that will allow you to easily customize your own signs, and includes regular, limited, night service only, express, school trippers, and those green text on white bus stop signs. Example of what this tool is capable of: http://scaped.net/f/...9f51fd0297e236d Examples of real signs: http://scaped.net/f/...9583c34fd356ef5 http://scaped.net/f/...bebc2ac9128303f http://scaped.net/f/...9094440c317e21b http://scaped.net/f/...d87b8c7d8b9aacd http://scaped.net/f/...1ed0ff613f563bd http://scaped.net/f/...0ded05f5a3bf3ec To view a database of user created images, click on the database link located at the top of this post.

NX Express Posted April 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 21, 2012 You can make it yourself... you realize that, right? @Gorgor: Amazing! Making one now. PS Can this tool make SBS routes? PPS You should put a limit on the length of the strings. It glitches if the length is too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threxx Posted April 21, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2012 Just a question, how hard would it be to make a custom map creator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted April 21, 2012 Just a question, how hard would it be to make a custom map creator? Virtually impossible. All that this thing does is basically generate colored rectangles and place text on them. 1. SBS signs aren't possible currently, and probably won't be added in, or at least not for a while. 2. Yes, long strings "glitch" it. Although more text will fit on one of these signs then a real sign will ever be able to hold. I might put a character limit in if I get a chance, but for now it's obvious that if it "glitches" then you need to remove some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threxx Posted April 22, 2012 Share #10 Posted April 22, 2012 What is the database, and when will it be up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share #11 Posted April 22, 2012 What is the database, and when will it be up? I'm working on creating a place that will allow you to view created signs that users choose to display in the database. Hopefully within a week you should see some sort of option when you're editing a bus stop sign to choose whether or not you want it to be included in the database or not.

Gorgor Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share #17 Posted April 22, 2012 The database is up, partially. Currently you can now submit choose to display your images in the database in the edit screen. Right now, the only option in the actual database that's functional is the View Random Signs, but more features are yet to come! And thank you MattTrain, although I'm not sure if it'll help that much. The SBS signs also have a light blue stripe or something on them, but I can't find a clear enough image to use. IF ANYONE HAS A CLEAR, CLOSE UP IMAGE OF AN SBS SIGN THEN PLEASE POST IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
