NODE NAMES:

The base name of a node can be whatever you want.  The basic wall sign
will keep the node name you give, while its hanging, on-pole, and yard
variants will, where applicable, use the same name, with "_onpole",
"_hanging", or "_yard" appended.

One exception:

If your node has "_wall" in its name, that bit will be stripped-out when
generating the above node variations.  For example:

"default:sign_wall_wood"

...will become...

"default:sign_wood_onpole"
"default:sign_wood_hanging"
"default:sign_wood_yard"

MODELS:

The base sign model and entity files must now be named:

sign:   mymod_foosign_wall.obj
        mymod_foosign_facedir_wall.obj

entity: mymod_foosign_entity_wall.obj

their other variants, where applicable, must be:

mymod_foosign_onpole.obj
mymod_foosign_hanging.obj
mymod_foosign_yard.obj

mymod_foosign_entity_onpole.obj
mymod_foosign_entity_hanging.obj
mymod_foosign_entity_yard.obj

For `facedir` signs, the "_facedir" in the base sign model filename is
automatically stripped from the name when generating the entity model
filename, as entities don't have a concept of wallmounted/facedir/etc.
For example:

"mymod_foosign_facedir_wall.obj"

...will become...

"mymod_foosign_entity_wall.obj"

* allow passing custom onpole, hanging, and yard sign models, for
situations where the filename(s) thereof can't be derived from the base
sign model filename.

* allow passing a custom pole mount, hanging, and yard sign stick
textures as the third, fourth, and fifth tiles{} entries, respectively
(independent of the above model file option)

* fine-tuned the pole mount on the standard sign models to eliminate
overlapping faces (so it looks better with basic_signs' glass sign.

* Move basic_signs wooden yard sign back to signs_lib.

@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ This is kaeza's and my signs library mod, originally forked from PilzAdam's vers
The purpose of PilzAdam's original mod was to just provide a no-frills way make default signs show their text, via an entity placed right in front. It was hacky, but it worked!
While still hacky, this library is a modernized, feature-enhanced version of his code, which not only has visible text, but which allows that text to be colored, and displayed at any reasonable size, with any reasonable amount of text (as configured in a given node definition), with two font resolutions available. Plus, almost any sign can be attached to almost any kind of suitable pole or fencepost, or hung from a ceiling, in addition to being flat on a wall, floor, or ceiling. Unlike previous incarnations of this code, signs' text is visible when the sign is flat on the floor or ceiling, as well as all other supported orientations.

Plus, almost any sign can be attached to almost any kind of suitable pole or fencepost. Most signs that use the standard wall sign model can also be hung from a ceiling, or placed upright as a yard sign, in addition to being flat on a wall or floor. Unlike previous incarnations of this code, signs' text is visible when the sign is flat on the floor or ceiling, as well as all other supported orientations/mounting styles.
Without any other add-ons, this mod upgrades only the default wooden and steel signs.
