Shipname Panel

[hms_warrior]

Since search in the Mods section came up empty:

I would like to request a mod that allowes me to name my ships!

Nooooo not in the Mapview...i want a way to have the name displayed in big letters on the shiphull! Let's ne honest here: the Enterprise would be half as awesome whitout the big NCC 1701 Letters on the hull. So that's what we (i) need: A way to get either the vesselname or, even better, a freely customizable text on the hull. A 'simple' (as in, i hope not to difficult to make, but far more complicated than i can handle) way to do this would be to have a name-badge part in different sizes that you could simply radial attach (basicly a solarpanel whit different texture). That panel would than have the vesselname/text imported into it's texture.

bonus: a option for different textstyles/colors.

double bonus: Lights that illuminate the panel.

(just to be clear: this is just a modidea/request. Since i am non-native to english i have no idea how demanding/arrogant that text up there sounds^^)

I think KerbPaint is capable of this. Unfortunately, if you play on 1.1, you have to use it at your own risk (it's not updated).

There are Decal mods, but the decals are actually just parts that are shaped like letters.

In this particular post, I link to the mods needed to accomplish this. They have a small footprint when it comes to memory usage.

Here's a few images of how I've used it. I created the names as flags with a transparent background. Not that hard. If you need additional help, don't hesitate to ask!
