Solved Text on signs

I have yet to find a plugin that allows this or the capability to do so in game already .. Any way someone can add a text field for signs?

 

Players want to be able to place text on the signs again. So...

Does anyone think it's possible to create a plugin that IN COMBINATION with a web server using something like ImageMagik or something could:

• Allow a player to type a message that is then sent the message to the web server to create the PNG file and host it
• The plugin would then use methods from the SignArtist plugin to automatically place it on the sign in front of the player.

OR

Is there a way for a plugin to create the PNG on the fly, store it and put that image on the sign.

 

Use PHP to generate and output the image dynamically

 

Right. A server owner could make use of their web server to make this plugin work. Some PHP like:

Code:

<?php
// Set the content-type
header('Content-type: image/png');// Create the image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);// The text to draw
$text = 'Testing...';
// Replace path by your own font path
$font = 'arial.ttf';// Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?> 

The font used could be selected in the plugin by the player. Have like 5 - 10 selectable fonts.

 

hey
try this Sign Artist for Rust Experimental | Oxide

 

I don't have time to do this from scratch so I just modified sign artist slightly.

Enjoy:

using UnityEngine; using System; using System.Reflection; using System.Collec - Pastebin.com

Type "/sil text "Whatever text you want" to use it.

 

Cool Norn ! Anyway to use "\n" for carriage returns?

 

Nice!!
