Speed Limit Icon Themes

Overview

This guide explains how to create new country-specific themes for icons shown in TM:PE Speed Limits tool and persistent overlays.

Icons

• Icons are 200 x 200 px. Rectangular shapes are allowed, for example Canadian and US signs are rectangular.

• File formats:

  • For best results, send us vector images; use Inkscape (free open source vector editor). See roadsigns-default.svg for an example.

  • Alternatively, send us PNG files. For examples of round signs see UK theme, for rectangular signs see USA theme.

  • You can find all existing themes in our source repository.

• We require an icon for each of the speeds supported by TM:PE, named accordingly:

  • 0.png denotes "unlimited speed" which is usually a circle with a dash across it (in most countries); in-game it's often used on rail networks

  • For miles per hour, the signs come in 5..90 range, named like 5.png, 10.png, … 90.png in steps of 5 MPH.

  • For kilometres per hour, the signs come in 5..140 range, named like 5.png, 10.png, .. 140.png in steps of 5 km/h.

• A theme can be marked as supporting MPH or km/h, or both if applicable.

Once you've made your icons, compress them in a zip file (in recent versions of Windows, you can select the files, right-click and choose Send To > Compressed (Zipped) Folder).

Send us the file / get help

Once you're done, or if you need any help, let us know via Discord chat, or create a Translation issue in our tracker (if you have .zip file, drag it in to the message box to upload it).
