How do you do Luminated billboards? - flamez3 - 11-15-2011
Like the ones that the Dark room did?

I have almost no idea what you are really asking, but you could try and open those billboards with the material editor and check how they were done. Also check the size and format of the actual image files.

I tried to re create it the best I could; but couldn't do it.

Lit up as in fade from black to visible or just visible in darkness?

You're talking about DECALS... BILLBOARDS are light effects such as light beams through a window, or a halo around a torch. Decals can be made in the material editor.
Here's a link for a tutorial.

Also, if you want it ILLUMINATED, I believe you have to set the image in the "illum" section of the material editor. Illuminated images show up no matter HOW dark the game is.

I've never done this before, but it seems right to me =\
