It looks like the hyphen is already there.

Edit: Replace wrong sign with correct one.

P.S.
I've started a topic for Fictional Signs like this:

What the I-80 sign might look like if the tolling project succeeds:

Shouldn't that be

It could be, but my idea was to be closer to the verbiage on the PA Turnpike sign.

non-latin characters

submenus implemented in version 0.48

just a couple bugs found in the hooks I left in when I made a single-menu system. hopefully no further bugs will turn up when I implement the "fonts" menu.

I really like the interstate-shaped Turnpike shield!

The multilevel menu looks good!

Thanks, it was one of those spur of the moment things after seeing a PA TURNPIKE 576 sign on the photo "game" and I thought, "Hmm. The business loop shield green looks close to the PA turnpike green so I gave it a go.

Of course, whether the text is PENNA TURNPIKE like mine, TURNPIKE PENNSYLVANIA like Bickenden or something else like PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE or PA TURNPIKE is a matter of taste. Anyway, if we want to talk about that, we should use the Fictional Signs topic I started.

I do not know if the BL green and the Penna green are the exact same color, but I would surmise that they are - there is a standard federal green, which is the background color on the BL shield in the generator.

I added open and close parentheses, as they do exist in the Highway Gothic set.

There seems to be a glitch: the Interstate shields aren't coming up, just the text

Same here. The US shields show up fine, though.

yeah I'm a moron. I did a drag and drop upload of all my files to the server (mainly to serve as a backup) and left to go get dinner. Damn FTP program gets caught up on some random shortcut I accidentally created and asks "oh, this is a .lnk file. is this text or binary?" and in the meantime is smart enough to completely fail to upload the rest of the files. God damn I need a better FTP program.

looks like it's working now.

SecureFX v2.03. 2002

has there been much of an improvement in FTP clients in the last 7 years?

Looks like everything except 1960's US is messed up

I use Filezilla... never had any problems.

agentsteel53 · « **Reply #65 on:** December 22, 2009, 10:32:17 PM »

does it have very aggressive retry capabilities? That's the main problem with SecureFX is that it just gives up sometimes and I have to manually reset it, and then it does not remember where it left off so I have to figure out what got uploaded and what didn't, or just start from the beginning again.

it had stopped working for me, and then I re-uploaded all the files, reset my cache, and it started working. that's when I noticed your email; dunno if you sent it during my re-upload, before, or after... but if you reset your cache, it should work again.

sometimes the shield background does take a bit of time to show up, as those are not embedded directly in the app. Each time you switch layouts it's a new HTTP GET request.

Got it to work finally after like 8-9 refreshes

It works fine for me. It does five retries before giving up, but it won't drop the queue, so you can reprocess.

Gag shield for the I-98 thread in the fictional highways...

Requesting support for accents et al. I've a bone to pick with Spain's motorways...

I'm going to be swapping out the Roadgeek font set in a little bit, and I cannot guarantee that the next font set will have accents so for now I'm going to punt on putting them in.

California spades are here ... all five styles that use the modern font. Coming soon: some with the older fonts - but the bear has arrived

Yeah, Filezilla is a great freeware FTP program. I use it all the time.

I only have the D width right now, but I should have B, C, and E hopefully by the end of tonight!
