Is the sign a switch texture? If it is, you need to make sure the wall with the texture has the script for a switch. After you do that, it should appear normally. But if it's a normal sign, you may need to change the height and position on the wall. Or it could just be that it doesn't coincide with the palette you are using. This usually makes things much more annoying. Or it could be that the file that the BM contains is corrupted. Try downloading them again and see if that was the problem. Those are about the only scenerios I can think of right now. But I can't tell for sure without a proper description of the gliche.

A screenshot of the wall in-game would proabably help us pinpoint the problem immediately.

For some reason, whenever I set the INF for a switch to trigger_standard, it messes up the Sign texture, by making it 1 pixel wide, and as tall as need needs to be to use all of the pixels.
So, what I've done is simply don't use trigger_standard, and use trigger_switch1 for almost all of my switches. It's much more powerful and versatile than trigger_standard.
The above may be what your problem is, or it may be not, as I don't know what you mean by "glitched".

NTK, try this sequence. I guarentee it will work.
item: (sector)
seq
class: trigger toggle
event_mask: (Value number)
client: (Affected trigger)
seqend
I had that problem a couple of times myself. But that's how that works in casae you were wondering. You use the trigger for other scripts that don't involve switch textures like pressing a random wall to talk to someone or stepping in a sector to cause an avalanche. But I'm pretty sure you already knew that

Well yes, I already know that, It's just that I prefer to use Trigger_switch1, as Trigger_standard is simply a Trigger_switch1 that automatically sends itself the done message ::shrug::

As an English major, I can definitely understand the irony of that...that's quality.
As far as the troubleshooting goes, I have no idea. Sorry.

Damn, Resnick, that was a little cold. Maybe he should do that more often just to annoy you  .

Really!? I didn't know that! That would have saved me so much time if I had known that sooner, thanks for the tip!
Sorry to get off-topic though. try and describe the gliche; are the colors off, or is it completely different? If you are using the animated screens by Jeff Walters, some of the signs do have uneven coloring from different frames. This is normal. What BM pack did you download or what level did you extract them from? If it is a level palette problem, what level are you using as a base? If you are using a level other than SECBASE, it could be a palette issue. But changing a palette is really easy if this is the case.

Yeah, I understand you may have meant to type "grammar," but the irony was just too good to resist pointing out.
If I remember, somebody at Massassi uses such a thing in their siggy...
...But anyway, eargoesdown, I would reccomend showing us a screenshot, so that we may better diagnose your problem. You might try a project page... That would work.

You can take screenshots with win xp.
In windows:
-Click the 'Start' button in the lower lefthand corner.
-Click 'Run'
-Type 'command' and click 'ok'
-Now in the DOS emulator get to your dark directory, ie C:\dark
-Now type DARK -ULEVELNAME.GOB -SHOTS where 'LEVELNAME.GOB' is the name of your level's gobfile
-Now to take screenshots in the game press the 'Delete' button.
Simple

First you need a third party site to host your images. Then you use the [img] tags to put them in the forum. You use the images URL in between the tags.
Example: [img](image's URL)[/img]
But who hosts your images is up to you.

[quote="Nottheking"]Third Party Sight"... Is that like third-person perspective? Didn't know we could get that in DF...
"Watch THIS!" showcase level by Scape Goat. I think some people call it second-person, but the point is that the camera is outside the player. First-person shoots should really have been called second-person shooters anyway.
