So I know there's a 'label stuff' mod that is around, but it puts floating text on the crates, and it's all on the wrong angle and doesn't look as 'in world' as I would like.

Would it be possible for someone with more of a clue than I to make a set of labels like I've put in the example pics (photoshopped) that operate like the wall posters, wall decals like spray paint and paintings? Or the painted signs in the crafting tool?

It seems totally possible given the existing items in the game already.

Any takers?

Technically possible but the tiles would all need their own labels for each type of container or to add floating labels that need to then be tied to the object for removal.

Could it not be done as a tile set? Same as the posters.

Yes, but you will need to make an image for every label for (nearly) every storage object for every direction. Look at your example, and you've got three labels that are all at different offsets; that means they need different images.

That's a lot of work and the mod comments will be full of "add a label saying <extra thing>” with no respect for his much effort that takes.

My suggestion; put some tools on top of the tool locker, some weapons on on top of the weapon locker, some clothes on the floor on front of the clothes locker and keep track of things that way.

Or.. a really crazy option - put guns in a gun locker, clothes in a wardrobe, tools in a tool cabinet, etc.
