Incorrect Directional Signage - Aqaba, Jordan

[mrkhmd]

I can't attach the locations because all directional signs in Aqaba are incorrect. All directional signs have "Amman" written in English instead of the correct site.
I appreciate your great work, thank you.

Hello, mrkhmd.

Can you show a screenshot on how it looks like, coordinates to these locations and a game.log.txt?
Also are you sure that you are on latest version 2.64 released recently because road signs has been updated to support Arabic correctly as text?

Please check this topic about how to report a bug correctly: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=939

I have encountered this issue when testing my ProMods 2.64 map combination. I have tested out several map combinations and apparently the culprit of this is a mod conflict with Red Sea Map, presumably due to the latter not adapting their overlapping map sector.

This is apparently the result of the Red Sea map overwriting the ProMods map sector that contains Aqaba, Haql, Eilat and Taba and reverting them to their old pre-2.63 versions which causes numerous signage glitches.

While the ProMods areas, which are the same cities as they were prior to the PMME 2.63 rebuilds, are perfectly functioning and drivable, the signage in this area is glitched, probably due to the newer Arabic and Hebrew text input being forced to be used on older assets, or the game not being able to find the files used previously for the correct Arabic text.

Affected is the signage in Eilat city, on three intersections with roads 40, 13 and 90 to the north of Eilat, in Aqaba town center, in Haql and in Taba, including on the intersection directly to the south of the town. I've marked the rough locations of them on this map screenshot:


The Israeli signage reverts the town names in all three languages on distance signs to "Tel Aviv" by default.


It additionally glitches the spacing of text on directional signage to make it unreadable. Furthermore, some of the English text is also affected on these signs. On all signs besides the aforementioned distance signs, Hebrew text is rendered correctly but all Arabic text defaults to read "Tel Aviv-Yafo". Additionally, the Arabic text completely disappears from Eilat's town name sign, even though it's supposed to appear there as far as I'm aware.




All Jordanian fingerpost signage located within Aqaba indeed spell "Amman" in Arabic.


That is except for one specific roundabout sign on the road to the Saudi border that correctly spells "Aqaba", "Amman" and "Ma'an" in Arabic - this template is then incorrectly copied across the two other signs at the same roundabout. The English text is rendered correctly, however.




The border crossing signs located at the three Jordanian border crossings in the area remain unaffected.


All signs in and around Haql in Saudi Arabia now spell "Tabuk" and "Jeddah" in Arabic, while the English text remains unaffected.


Finally, three directional signs at the intersection south of Taba are also affected, now reading "Sharm-el-Sheikh" for all directions instead of the supposed Arabic text.


Coordinates for all signs I could find are as follows:

My educated guess is that this is not a problem on ProMods' end, but rather on Red Sea's end, whose overlapping sector does not account for the new signage introduced in ProMods 2.63.

It's confirmed that it's mod conflict that is Red Sea Map.
So if you want to report these bugs, so report it to owners behind Red Sea Map.
