Ok I'm just lost now. You've broken things in a way that I don't understand what's wrong.

hi vanessa, i find out two another problems what can have all players in these game. the error for the basic_signs was coming because i did not named the basic_lib without -master. the second problem was that my homedecor mod was outdated. i did download the latest version from your mod and after then the signs_lib was running. my world runs now without any problems. you blame me that i had broken some things. what i did with the road mod was logical for what i have seen when i matched the streets mod with the streetsmod inside the roads mod. when i see that all folder are the same and only the folder for the smartfs is emty then is it constructiv to copy the files from the streets mod to that folder. anyway now is all running well and thanks for your help.

No worries, sometimes the simplest solutions get buried under a bunch of confusing error/failure messages.

Looks pretty good! What's next?
From my side, I'm rather happy with the current state (up-to-date with the master branch on https://github.com/zeuner/signs_lib/tre ... opean-test). In case I happen to get more involved with yet another language that requires more characters, or I find someone willing to test, I might add support for characters from more languages.

There is also yet another demo: https://tube.tchncs.de/videos/watch/62d ... fe11b99dca

In case you decide to merge my changes, I guess more users will be able to use them.

It would be very helpful for German and other international servers to have that fix for äöü etc in Your official signs_lib, VanessaE. We miss that feature a lot on German educational servers. It is strange for younger children to always replace ä with ae and makes minetest look very unprofessional. And Your signs_lib is a must have ... Thank You zeuner for working on that fix!

zeuner, a couple of players on my servers have said the new font seems a little harder to read, although on my screen, normal-size text is legible out to around 6 or 7 meters, which I'm pretty sure is slightly better than before.

Perhaps it's a little narrower than it used to be? None of us can quite put a finger on it, and I think you mention that there'd be some minor differences (though now I can't find that comment).

Any further thoughts?

Wonderful that the non-ascii characters are working now. But still You can't copy and paste them. Maybe You, Vanessa, or Isidor Zeuner have a fix for that?

It isn't fixable. It's an engine/client bug, or a glitch in irrlicht. Copy/paste has been variously broken in Minetest for its entire existence. :-P

Many thanks to VanessaE and contributors for supporting this mod in continuity. Works like a charm in MT 5.6.1 both as server mod and as client mod.

Just recently I switched back from an outdated fork of a.m. same mod after some years of disregarding the original:
viewtopic.php?p=418757#p418757

However, I have two issues:

1) How to use the 16px version of the signs? By looking into the Lua code there should be both 16px and 32px templates available but I am unsure how and where to set the preference for using either.

There is nothing wrong with the 32px version. But IMHO the old 16px fits more into the default texture look.

2) The intro page seems to hold some outdated information: viewtopic.php?p=202106#p202106
For complete details on how to use this library with your own mods, see README.md, MODELS.md, and API.md.
Both the URLs for the README.md and the MODELS.md seem to be not working anymore.

Thanks in advance.

@Zeuner : Many thanks. I highly appreciate the availability of the non-ascii characters as a German user of MT 5.6.1 and signs_lib.

The newer sign text is too small if you ask me. Why was it made even smaller? Too small to read easily from more than about 2 nodes away on my 1080p 23 inch monitor.

Is the mod's version on ContentDB outdated? Because I seem to not have access to the double wide sign font and can only do 3 lines of text.

//edit: My fault, conflict with another mod.

How do I replace the font used by the mod on the signs? I have a high-res texture pack and having a pixel font really clashes with the look. Also is there a tool that would generate a compatible font from an ordinary TTF/OTF font?

Additionally, I've thought about a way to support more colors than just 16 basic CGA/EGA ones. How about, if player puts 3 consecutive color codes, like #A#B#C, it would treat it as an RGB value? It would be only 12-bit RGB (max 4096 colors), but it would be good enough for most cases. That is, if the mod simply multiplies font's color by desired character color, instead of doing something stupid like having 16 fonts for each color.
