Billboard adspace.

Post by Gentle_Man »

Not sure if this is possible, but I'd like to see purchasable (via forums) adspace on the billboards around Los Santos. I mean, I know you can place images and textures and objects over walls in SAMP, is it possible to place custom images and textures without mods?

It'd be cool to be driving and see a big Chris Bell or Sicilian Market billboard.

There's no other way but mods, i think. Other servers have something like this but it's mod.

Even though mods don't necessarily cause bad sync unless it takes longer to load than the original or changes the shape of an object, it's still not allowed on SZR. If you want to still do what you say, there are plenty of servers who allow it.

I mean, this thread was mostly a "this would be pretty cool is it possible??" type of suggestion.

it would be possible but it would involve every single player downloading the file to see the billboard, and as far as I know this isn't possible in sa:mp

To be honest, I like the idea of that -- being able to rent billboards

And at least it wouldn't be abusable! Since it's via forums admins can be like "no you can't make a giant cock billboard" and "no you can't do a billboard that says 'NIGGERS DIE'"

Actually...
Valhella's skatepark is all wood instead of concrete, i think.
It should be possible. I know it is in MTA, I think.

[I'm just assuming how this works]
But there's already wood textures in GTASA. They just have to replace the texture with an already existing one that comes with the game.
