I'm using the underground indicator light overlay of "signage/indicator_lights/indicator_light_straight",
but they are showing up as 64x64 overlays instead of normal indicator lights... I solved this problem. They come out being scaled as 1 and 1. I made the overlay smaller on the grid and then changed the scale to 1 x whatever length it needs to be.

That wiki post has nothing on the portal 2 ones, and in the editor all of the New aperture portal 2 indicator lights work fine, just these old ones for some reason... ><

You know what Underground indicator lights look like, why would pictures be required?

They're the little neon lights.

I know what they look like. I would like to see if the texture is stretched, if the squares are huge, or if there are four squares in one overlay. This information should help pinpoint the problem. (Which I guess must have to do something with texture lock messing up.)

Has anybody realized that this tutorial is wrong? It doesn't even explain what size the indicators are supposed to be!
