When i place a warp point using map editor, then test it (f5) I end go a blank black screen. This is from my map file.. (ignore the first object - thats just a tree i put in as a marker) What's going wrong here? Many Thanks

I agree, this is quite tricky. I've managed to get the resources to work and get my bitmap file floating on a billboard above the Pirate ship! However I'm far from being where I'd like to be. It just seems a little complicated with the wiki describing how to get all sorts of things whizzing back and forth all over the place. All I need is to go into map editor and place pictures in a very rough way around the map at various points - they don't need to be anything fancy (and save it for further use without having to start up a shade resource manually everytime I enter MTA) Back to the drawing board I guess

Thanks, that does look really promising. I also found two resources called "shader_uv_scroll.zip" and "shader_uv_scripted.zip" at https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Shader_examples However I can't find any information on how to actually use these. I've tried to copy them into server/mods/deathmatch/resources/[editor] along with the other resources there. I realise that this probably sounds hopelessly stupid to the experienced scripters on this site but that's where I am! Can anyone help in pointing out a step by step guide to this? I've looked at the wiki and can't find anything relevant.

Thanks for the info Castillo, I'll have a look at shaders

Hi, Is it possible to create text or pictures on walls (like graffiti or advertising etc) or on other objects? Alternatively, can info points or checkpoints contain/reveal written information? I am hoping to use the San Andreas "sandbox" to store ideas (like lecture notes etc). This will make revision a lot more interesting and memorable. I am new to MTA and know only the basics of map editing (and very little script editing) but am willing to learn if there is a good tutorial relating to this. Thank you for your help asrowley
