Just wanted to say you've inspired me to make some of these signs! So far I've created ones for:
- Bobcat
- Canada Lynx
- Pallas's Cat
- Serval
- Ocelot.

Im sort of going for animals not by RR but ones that are still common downloads in the community! Your guides are really useful but I have one question? To get it into the .dds form by downloading that programme. Once opened in it how do I save it as a .dds as there a multiple options?

Anyways, amazing signs!


I'm so happy to hear that!
The easiest way to make it a .dds would be using DXTBmp, it's a free and very light program:

Just save your skin as another format like png or bmp, open it with DXTBmp and go to File > Save as > DDS Texture. Don't forget to mark the "Include MipMaps when saving" option, circled red:

Like I said there are also some phtoshop Nvidia plugins that allow you to open and save .dds files, but from my experience I sometimes had trouble getting them working.

Amazing job, Love the idea about the dinosaur signs. That would be a great idea when I do Hendrix WWD signs. I am 80% done with American Adventures signs just got to finish the coding. I put the Eastern Timber wolf with it. You was right it was a bugger to find information on it. I am not going to include the bison with it since you did an amazing job with yours for ES.

Honestly, I think it'd be cool if you made the signs more accurate

Um not all zoos have signs that look like that tigris the zoo over here in Oregon have signs that are on a wall and in the case of our hippos they are on a bridge, btw the signs are wonderful lgcfm especially the prehistoric creature signs, just a quick bit of curiosity if anyone is interested in doing fictitious beasties for these magnificent signs?

They look accurate to me. Each zoo have different kinds of signs.

Okay that could have sounded nicer,
Granted, I admit I've barely had the chance to visit real zoos in my life, but I've looked through some zoo signs to make mine.

Could you be a little more specific? What about my signs is so inaccurate?

Since you link a slanted sign, do you dislike the vertical sign? I don't mesh, I'm using the original sign design provided by Iben. If someone wants to make a slanted sign model, then I'd be happy to code my existing signs for that model so we have two versions available.
I wouldn't really say this is '"inaccurate" though, as there are many example of vertical signs in your same link:

Or is it the skin itself that you consider "inaccurate"? I find this statement weird, because as you can see in the pictures above and in your own link, zoo sign designs vary a lot so there's really no "normal" version to make them. Furthermore I've made my sign template especially so it is both easy and fast to make signs using it even with little photo-editing experience.

Did you base the status of the animals on the game or from the Internet?

IUCN, that's why I have LC and NT separated (instead of low risk), and some others like DD and NE.
