Full-art-with-type-bar promo frames

Postby Korath » 10 Jan 2014, 14:48

So I started to mock up a frameset for the the lopsided new M15 frames, got disgusted, and put this together instead. It has the usual problems with full art, but was at least amusing.

edit: Installation instructions:
  1. Unzip in main Manalink 3.0/Program directory; it'll create a subdir Cardart/fullartwbar with imagery and a config file DuelArt/FullArtWBar.dat.
  2. Edit your DuelArt/Duel.dat file to point to FullArtWBar.dat for one of the frametypes in the [Expansions] section, e.g. change "Modern=Modern.dat" to "Modern=FullArtWBar.dat".
(Is there a less wordy label for this style of frame, by the way?)

I just read several articles about the recent counterfeit magic cards system from china and I understand now why Wizard created a specific font for the next expansions : there are some impressive copies that nearly equal the originals and they are sold at ridiculous prices before being sold at original price at local resellers, it's quite scary.

Would it be possible to do the Zendekar lands with this?

Aye. It's the left border shadow which gives them the lopsided look.
Nothing particularly revolutionary about these I must admit. Bottom half of the texture background is seemingly based on the Planeswalker cards. Larger text box with the hologram cut-out on some of the cards is the only really new feature.

You're missing the rounding on the top corners - just about the only part of the new frame that I like.

Good spot - I didn't even notice that on those small pics they posted in the WotC feature article.

Rectified.

Not gonna faff about with adjusting everything to accommodate the millimetre reduced black border, though. :roll:
