K' I want to know if taking picts out of PoG is legal via making a new PoG plugin, making a new animation in that plugin, then adding to that animation to graphics you want, and using snapz to pull them out. Or to make things simple, is there a sign graphic/anim availible in either the CD or on the web somewhere?

Whose cruel idea was it to put an 'S' in lisp?
I know what you mean, BlackLite. You want the sign graphic that is given to a sign NPC. I got just what you need. I have already extracted it for myself. Would you like it?

You are talking about those little wooden road signs, right? Like the ones outside of towns that when the player runs up to them a dialog opens up saying that he is about to enter wherever. They are passive npc's, since they show as blue dots when using the awareness skill. In your plug-in, make a new passive npc. Under the battle tab, for selecting a picture or animation, hit the ellipsis (3 dots) button to open up the choices. Look for miscellaneous in the drop down list. There is both an animation and a picture for the sign. The wood bridges and stone bridges are also in there.

Graphics that are in PoG but not in the Coldstone graphics library are generally not OK to use in your own creations, any more than graphics you pulled out of any other game would be. It's been stated in the past that certain graphics (such as the Sea Giants and Guardian in PoG) were intentionally omitted from the Coldstone library in order to keep PoG somewhat unique.
For something as simple as the "road sign" graphic, it might have been left out of the Coldstone library inadvertently. You could try e-mailing Ambrosia about the possibility of being permitted to use it in your own work.

My mistake. I thought, you meant you are making a plug-in.
