HQ Cardgen M15/8th/Pre8th/Tokens/Emblem (Updated 2018/01/29)

[ggwithrow]

Is there a way to modify the output so that the images have borders like a normal Magic card?

New version with bug fixes for problems in last version.

@ggwithrow At the moment, no, there is not. The paged output puts an extra border on the cards, but it hasn't been updated yet to support the different render sizes for 8th/Pre8th and M15 (736x1050 and 720x1020 respectively)
At some point I plan on normalizing the render to 720x1020, but I need to redesign all the 8th/Pre8th frames, which will take some time.

I'm going to be at OryCon this weekend

dang I didn't know that thing was in pdx.

@Randomage every year. It's a blast. You in or around pdx?

Great update. I used to use a much older version, but I just used yours to output a full VMA set. All I needed what a little patience in Photoshop to get the Pwalkers the right size and then doing a quick mask to put the head overlays on manually.

There are 2 Flavor text errors in the Cards.csv for Hermit Druid and Tradewind Rider in the VMA set. HD has an extra line that looks like a paste error, and TR's text is wrong.

The only thing Im struggling with is how to output the Alternate Cube art for MTGO. Ive got the art available, but it keeps throwing errors saying it can't find the overlay. I created a dummy one, but this isn't generating the cards the way they should be.

I would scrap the CUB as a promo, and just make it a set. You can use the attached symbols as the set symbols, and just keep adding to the set as promos are released. This would render the cards out the way they are presented online. This would also allow the user to throw all the CUB art into a CUB folder instead of splitting it all up into the normal card sets, which would get confusing.

Once again, thanks for a great tool. Now I just need to get my crops for Tempest Remastered and I'll be up to date.

Oh. If you want vectors of the above I have em saved, just let me know.

Fixed those two cards. Looks like the flavor text got transposed with the Judges Gift Card flavor text.

Those symbols look great! They are now added to the project.

I've been working on putting the Cube alternates into a single set. Is there a full list somewhere? I've just been working with the lists of alternate art that I've found posted on places. I don't know much about MTGO.

There are lists for each rendition of the Holiday Cube, Legendary Cube, etc. every time that they were released/re-released. The problem is being able to figure out when and if those cards got new art each time around. There is an almost complete pack of art which is on the thread on here (http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8350&p=100456) and on MTGS (http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/magic-online-formats/488781-alternate-art-not-found-on-physical-cards) that discusses this exact same problem. I believe that all the art has been collected in some form with only about 10 or so that are still poor low res quality.

Do you have LEG?

[lulu4138]

Do you have mediafire link?

[ahkren]

Legends is part of the database, yes.

I do not have a mediafire upload for this, no.

If you update the frames and borders, I would recommend using the official CCGHQ XLHQ sizes. They were chosen as an ideal based on millimeter-precise measurements of real cards.

@lulu4138 I'm not sure what you mean...
