I'll be reducing the height of the stems that all the letters sit on, so they don't protrude out from the surface so much (I've damaged a few ships entering hangars due to the protruding dock letters on my SMP) and as a result all collision boxes are being updated.

Can we get a fix for the collision box for "3" as well?

BearBaron, It was reported by WolfReign in November. I think I have it fixed in the next upcoming revision, but I'm still trying to find employment so haven't had much time to put into finishing up the changes to publish.

Hey I just noticed a decent bug, the "L" is much brighter than other letters.

Altough this might be a conflict with the servers modpackage.

Oh no, Rayanth! I hope you find/get work soon or have since your last post!

Heya folks. Haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just dealing with getting an unexpected layoff notice at work.

I've been slowly reworking all of the models to lower their height relative to the block they're attached to, and started modeling a couple new symbols as well. I am not sure I'll get to all of the requested symbols/characters, but I'll do my best.

I'm also unhappy with the large download size of the mod and will be reducing the number of LOD meshes to compensate - you can't even tell the difference between LOD3 and LOD2 anyway, and only notice the switch between 2 and 1 if you know what to look for, so I can probably get away with removing all of them, but will test before releasing those changes.

Any possibility of Æ/æ, Œ/œ, Þ/þ, Ð/ð (ash, ethel, thorn, eth)?

Use AI to add make models for new fonts for you

@WolfReign I thought you had meant only when it was white, as that is common amongst most of the letters as a side-effect of how I did the texture.... but I just saw in my own game that it's messed up when other colors on the L as well. I think I see what's wrong in the model file there and will fix it in next update, though no ETA as of yet since I want to get some of the requested symbols added as well

the letter L is slightly off color in-game. might be worth checking it out.

Polygons and a check mark maybe?

slanted letters??? lover you!!!!

@xTUx Death Lord I was wondering when someone would ask for that :D

I can do Diamond and possibly Spade, but I think club might not fit within the limitations I've set for the aesthetics so I was holding off on trying

any chance of getting a spade, club and diamond added (you already added the heart)

@anzellott depending on which cyrillic alphabet you refer to, this could be anywhere from 33 to 100 new characters to add, which would be a monumental undertaking. Even if you mean the 33-character Russian Cyrillic alphabet, there are aspects of some of the characters there that would not work with the size of neon tube I used for the modelling in this mod, meaning I would have to use narrower tubes, which would clash with the aesthetic of the rest of the mod, or I would have to write a whole new mod

can u please add cyrillic alphabet?

Good job

Mod updated to 1.2 to correct the collision box locations on the Chevron symbols added in 1.1, as well as the Large and Small Block Categories that changed in the Contact update.

@Solear I'm unable to reproduce the issue with a Torch dedicated server running only this mod in survival, locally. I have reviewed the block definitions and geometries in Blender and can't find anything wrong for the Arrow or AngledArrow -- can you confirm that the crash ONLY happens with the Arrow symbol? I was able to place all of the blocks just fine in my test.

I did identify issues with the collision blocks for the chevrons so I will be pushing a 1.2 update today with fixes for those collision boxes, but those are unrelated to a crash (they just make it really hard to weld up the single chevron)

Amazing

I probably have server logs but not really sure what to look for in them..
You can check the crash twice here:

If you have anything more specific to look for, a phase or something, let me know..

@Solear thank you for the report, I'll look and see if I have an error in the SBC's or something - do you have anything from crash logs that might help?

The arrow is crashing my server. I've tried to place one on a normal large grid block, and it is crashing the dedicated server. I've tried it a few times to be sure, and it's 100% this mod.. Not really sure why. This was the first time we added the mod, dedicated server is hosted by G-portal. The mod, as far as I know, was loaded without an issue, but when I added an arrow to the hotbar and wanted to place it, it crashed the server. The server otherwise was working well, not crashing.

Version 1.1 uploaded with 10 new symbols and a couple fixes to collision boxes on some of the letters. I'm happy to consider suggestions for more symbols!

Amazing! Thanks for creating this :)

Oh,Finally! This is really great!

Oh, beautiful! This is one of those mods you didn't know you wanted until you see it. Nicely done!

This is a great idea. Thank You.

I'm not sure why this isn't vanilla. What other great ideas do you have? It's going into my new world.

awesome. XD

Subscribed!

Gotta have it. Thanks so much!

I'm a programmer by trade so I'm very familiar with VSCode, and it has some features that make doing mass editing for the XML stuff pretty quick and easy. Making 44+ symbols in Blender, with all the accouterments, on the other hand....

awesome!
i hope that the amount of blocks and xml editing that you had to do didnt make you crazy yet haha

Thanks, Katarina! I'll cross-link back to you when I push my next update, which will have a few fixes and some more symbols

neat, you did what i was too lazy for xD
i'll link your mod on my Emissive Panels mod

so ya keen lazy bring back the Letters & Symbols mod we all loved

@VS-lockon - they're similar but a hint different. The 7 and L are pretty much the same but rotated 180 degrees... all are based on the letters from vanilla game that were added in 2020, and you'll find the same similarities there as well.

just me or the l look like back way j

@Chipstix213: I claim no responsibility for the consequences of what you may choose to spell :D

I spelt a sware and got kicked from the server
