Write text on part

[Snow Leopard]

Hey everyone!

I'd love to be able to write a ship's name (or any text for that matter) on a part of the ship - I can see it working like this: You have a 'text' tool in the utilities section which you can place on a part of a ship. Once placed, a box could pop up prompting you to change the text written there.

It should be quite restrictive - just a simple font, maybe just a few colours to choose from, if not just black, to help prevent garish 'designs' on ships.

If there's an add-on that already does this I'd love to know what it is!

Thanks.

Have you tried the Part Generator mod? I haven't tried it myself, but I know it allows for custom textures. Not sure about command pods though.

Maybe just a new part that is kinda like a decal that you can put in, it's clear and you can type your own text.

That looks quite good, I might give it a go. It really would be cool to do it the way I proposed though, don't you think?

+1. Neat idea.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You could also use the same system to put your flag on a ship. It would just be so cool to write the mission's name on the side of a fuel tank, a rover name on the rover, etc. This needs to happen!
