How to "use?" Signboard?

File location

Yes. You may create your own signboards by editing the clientside LUA/LUB file. There is no server-side configuration for it.

The file is located at:

client\data\luafiles514\lua files\signboardlist.lub

Example entry

An example of one signboard is the following:

	{
		"izlude",
		197,
		205,
		10,
		IT_SIGNBOARD,
		"유저인터페이스\\item\\ship_ticket.bmp",
		"Ship to Alberta and Byalan",
		"#0x00FFFFFF"
	},

The first three are explanatory: It's the map and coordinates.

10 corresponds to the height (i think in pixels, or some arbitrary unit) above the NPC's head. Setting it to 0 means that it is immediately above the NPCs head.

IT_SIGNBOARD is the type. Examples are shown below.

The following is the filepath to the image resource.

The last one, I believe is for the color of the text (I have not tweaked this value so I am not sure).

End result

And it results into the following:

IT_SIGNBOARD

IT_BMP

Notes

As of posting (December 19, 2018), Asheraf's Translation (commit 8377a6b7340773d0c5ea18987b1c82be0ec1dd05) (https://github.com/Asheraf/Translation/blob/master/data/luafiles514/lua%20files/signboardlist.lub) does not have a translated signboardlist.lub.

Use Zackdreaver's translation (commit 8377a6b7340773d0c5ea18987b1c82be0ec1dd05) (https://github.com/zackdreaver/ROenglishRE/blob/master/data/luafiles514/lua%20files/signboardlist.lub) instead.
