To create a French commune panel in the i3d file of a mod, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Begin by creating the panel design in a graphics software like Photoshop or GIMP. The panel should include the name of the commune and any relevant symbols or logos.
2. Once you have the design ready, save it in a compatible format (such as PNG or DDS) with a transparent background.
3. Open the i3d file of your mod in a text editor or IDE like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.
4. Add a new shape element to your i3d file with the following parameters:
```xml
<Shape
shapeId="your_unique_id"
filename="path_to_your_panel_texture.dds"
translation="your_x_translation, your_y_translation, your_z_translation"
rotation="your_x_rotation, your_y_rotation, your_z_rotation"
scale="your_x_scale, your_y_scale, your_z_scale"
/>
```
5. Customize the parameters in the above code snippet according to your panel design and position in the game world.
6. Save the i3d file and import it back into your modding software (e.g., Giants Editor) to test the panel placement and appearance in the game.
By following these steps, you should be able to create a French commune panel in the i3d file of your mod for FS25.
