Huge thanks to Bassman58 for preserving this mod, making possible for all of us to still use it.

Editing Signs
Here, Im going to try to teach you how to edit the signs. All in all there are 3 signs and editing it is simple.

First thing you need to know is that you cant edit the signs directly in the texture using the “Text” tool . You need to use the RECTANGLE tool again and “capture” the first sign like what I did there.

After that, use CTRL+C to copy it then go to File>>Create>>From Clipboard

Then, a window will pop-out.

Now, since you want to erase that “OKLAHOMA CITY” text there, just press CTRL+A then press delete.
Boom, empty texture

Since you’re going to make a sign, make sure you have a colored background and go crazyyyy
After hours, this is what I got.

When you’re finished, press CTRL+A then CTRL+C to copy then paste it in the texture that we are working on.
TADAAAAAA!

Just repeat the same process and… boom

Perfect! Thank you very much for reuploading

why not using V0.4.83.0 ?

why not using V0.4.83.0 ?

For some odd reason the newer versions doesn't open the crowd files for 2k14

I didnt know, thanx for the explanation Manni
and thx Bassman58 for the file

Yeah, this has already been said above but since I'm an idiot and can't read and also want to spare anyone else this pain, 3DM WILL NOT open created team .iff files. So, you can't open team_800.iff. At least I could not. The program would just crash. What you can do is just get another teams team_x.iff file, edit that, rename it to whatever number your custom team is and THEN it will work. If this is very obvious, then sorry but I really, really could not understand why I couldn't get this to work until realizing this. Other than that, amazing tutorial. Still using in 2024.
