Download GoblinHero's latest masterbase here...
http://www.slightlymagic.net/base.shtml
Rename Master.mwBase to: Master.cds
Run cdsExplorer.bat (not cdsExplorer.exe), click new, click open and choose the Master.cds.
Right click a cell, select all, right click a cell, save selection as, save as CSV.
Run mws2cards.bat with the CSV.
Thanks csv had different structure si I make it by xls file.
bye

{Q} is the official name for untap symbol(surely it should show as tap symbol), if you want the {BG} symbol it's {BG}
My bad somehow all the untaps got converted due to my mistake, will be correcting them in the next release as it's only 16 cards.

Excel might not support multiline csv files and might destroy the records (you should have some kind of error messages that it cannot apply the translations)

Updated translation files
I've fixed the untap symbol being the tap one in all the files, thanks dorko for pointing that out.

Everything is possible, with the right kind of help. "Right kind" = (qualified + voluntary)!

I do not translate them but take them from the Gatherer and they only have the printed cards translated (also the only legal text is Oracle wording and that is English only)

I was wondering if it would be possible to print 9 cards per page? What I am wanting to do is use the pages to setup a book. 1st page - all the pictures of the cards that kept in the 2nd page of the binder. This way you could flip thru a binder and see what cards your missing for a complete play set of cards. I would use MWS to generate the decklist by set in order of the card numbers.

The first page would be kept in a laminate slicky and the 2nd page would be a standard 3x3 card storage page.

Thanks

It's very easy an customisable, just edit config.txt
Code: Select all
[output - page images]
output.page.rows = 3
output.page.columns = 3
output.page.rotate = 0
output.page.rotate.last.rows =0 #<this has to be 0
output.page.rotate.align.right = 0
output.page.offset.top = 0
output.page.offset.left = 0
output.page.offset.bottom = 0
output.page.offset.right = 0
output.card.border = 0
output.card.spacing = 0
output.card.offsets.x = #<x offsets for the card delimited by comma ex. 13,  3, -8,  17,   7,  -3,  20, 10
output.card.offsets.y = #<x offsets for the card delimited by comma ex. 7,   6,  5,  -9, -11, -12, -27, -30
Tweak the spacing / offsets to your liking.

I just got a hold of some futureshifted PSD from Chrome Kaldra and they look really great.
When I get some more time I'm going to cut them out and add support for those in the card generator.
Some samples(click the images for full size):

I already have all of then, ready to use... (my GUI renders the futureshifted cards correctly with these symbols).
Is a really big zipped filled (there is lots of data).
Did you want it?

Yours aren't from the same PSD as mine (looks like spiderboy4 PSD).
Example:
Yours Image
Mine Image

Very strange, but you cut is better than mine :), is that case, I ask for the frames for about 4 months, and since no one does, I do it...
As soon you release the complete frames/borders, better for anyone...

The psd was just "released" like 2 days ago, and I've been waiting for it the whole time.
