Adding personal trademarks (siggies) to maps

[DevilDog#1]

How do we add personal trademarks (siggies) to maps? I want to add some barrels in the sky. Any ideas?

Can you guys add a tutorial to the TUTORIAL section of TDF so people can use it? There is nothing there

easy way of doing it is lay it out on some flat ground then float it , not sure what to make it look like though. Hehe try a english bulldog hehe that would be very different

Hi all this is my 1st post in here...lol What u wanna do is set whatever objects u want to use for your sign.. Remember to build it like u are looking at it from the ground, for letters will look mighty strange if u do watch what your doin lol..Once done building it doesnt nessacerily hav to be on flat terrain..
Simply select all the items in your sign.. 1 like i make usually has around 70 to 80 peices if i make an ~NSF~ sign in the sky.. Then go into Item Attributes & if u know how to raise the Z level of something then u know.. for those of u who dont its on the left side of the window about a 3rd of the way down.. 1st box does whole numbers.. 2nd box does fractions..
If you didnt build it on flat terrain then u will need to turn on absolute height in order to make all the parts of the sign to be at the same height.. just remember the bigger the sign the more pieces it will hav even if they r Big parts when u change the Z value of something in a map it tends to lag the map a bit..some signs iv made in the past almost brought my little gateway 350 to its knees..lmao that should get a good start on making sky art.. I hav been making maps since DF1 1st came out its been a passion of mine... I think I should hav my own Forum on map making.. I will probably be posting more if ppl need the help..
