Sign settings

These apply to the whole sign rather than one element. They live at the bottom of the right-hand inspector and stay available even while an element is selected.

Size

The sign size decides the pixel canvas the mod renders, from 256×256 up to 2500×200. It is the first thing you pick, and everything else stays locked until you do.

Caution

Changing size after you have placed elements does not move them. They keep their pixel positions, so some may end up outside the new canvas. Anything hanging over the edge is drawn faded in the editor and cropped in game.

Sign type

Normal

A flat, lit sign. This is the default and the one that supports the parallax and arrow materials below.

Hologram

Renders translucent, with scanlines across the whole face. It adds its own controls:

Setting	What it does
Distortion intensity	How much the image wobbles.
Scanline intensity	How hard the scanlines read.
Border intensity	The glow around the sign’s edge.
Use scanlines	Turns the lines off while keeping the glow.

Material

Setting	What it does
Background color	The sign’s base colour. Also tints the parallax grid and the arrow material.
Emissive intensity	How brightly the sign glows. Higher is brighter.
Panner speed X / Y	Scrolls the whole sign’s material. Negative values scroll the other way.

Parallax & arrows

Two extra materials, available on Normal signs only.

Parallax

Draws a receding depth grid behind your elements, speckled with small readouts that tick over as you watch. Tinted by the background colour.

Arrow material

Fills the sign with large scrolling chevrons, tinted by the background colour, with its own direction and speed.

Danger

The arrow material covers the entire sign face, so the mod draws no elements underneath it. The editor hides them to match, and they are left out of exported files the export dialog tells you how many were dropped.

Scale

Parallax / arrow scale X and Y size the grid cells and the chevron bands. -1 means “use the mod’s own default ratio”, not a scale of one.

Note

A hologram ignores both effects. If you switch a sign that had them enabled over to hologram, the toggles disappear and nothing of them is previewed or exported — the mod would ignore them anyway.
