Ahm okey, the sign is "8331" the name of it is "vgsbboardsigns18", and the png's name is "fork" xdd, so i want to change the sign with the "fork" image, here's the sign: [/img]

And here's my image:

1000x500

*This is just a test png*

You'll need txd workshop and a txd file for that. Open the txd file with the txd workshop and replace the billboard you want with the png. The texture's name must not change. After that, save the txd file, and import it on your server. The billboard will be your png.

    <script src="sign.lua" type="server" />
    <file src="img/****.txd"></file>

Lua:

addEvent('receiveData19',true)
addEventHandler('receiveData19',getRootElement(),function(dataFlow)
    local file = fileCreate("480.dff")
    fileWrite(file, dataFlow)
    fileClose(file)
    local file2 = fileExists("480.txd")
    if not file2 then
        triggerServerEvent('setupDownload20',localPlayer)
    else
        txd = engineLoadTXD("480.txd")
        engineImportTXD(txd, 480)
        dff = engineLoadDFF("480.dff",480)
        engineReplaceModel(dff,480)  
        downloaded()
    end
end)

addEvent('receiveData20',true)
addEventHandler('receiveData20',getRootElement(),function(dataFlow)
    local file = fileCreate("480.txd")
    fileWrite(file, dataFlow)
    fileClose(file)
    txd = engineLoadTXD("480.txd")
    engineImportTXD(txd, 480)
    dff = engineLoadDFF("480.dff",480)
    engineReplaceModel(dff,480)  
    downloaded()
end)

addEvent('onVehicleLoad',true)
addEventHandler('onVehicleLoad',getRootElement(),function(options)
    if options[16] then
        local file = fileExists("480.dff")
        local file2 = fileExists("480.txd")
        if file and file2 then
            txd = engineLoadTXD("480.txd")
            engineImportTXD(txd, 480)
            dff = engineLoadDFF("480.dff",480)
            engineReplaceModel(dff,480)  
        end
    else
        if txd then
            destroyElement(txd)
            destroyElement(dff)
            txd,dff = nil
        end
    end
end)

You replace it just like a car. The only difference is, that you don't replace a DFF now, you replace only a TXD. But yeah. The method is the same, with your edited txd.

I tried "gta3" but it just got me the dff file

Oh, nevermind, found it, thanks again.

Well... you go on this site, find the object, click on it, details, and it will tell you which txd is it in. You find these txd-s in gta3.img which is in the san andreas folder. You can open .img file with spark.
