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

@proud I'll look into the colorless text box, oversight on my part

@skibulk I noticed the texturing at the draft I went to. I'll have to see what I can do about adding it. My main goal at the time I created the frames was to get the sizing and colors at least close.
I could probably add an toggle option to use the xlhq when I have some time to look more into it. It definitely isn't a bad idea.

@skibulk the split card frames renders each side, reduces and rotates the card and puts them side by side like this:

Regarding the Conspiracy frame: what I'm saying is that you could make the frame from one of my 600DPI scans instead of faking it, if you care to do so.

Regarding the split frame: It gets the job done, but it's actually quite different from the real cards. Again, I could provide 600DPI scans.

I'd love the 600dpi scans to base the frame from. That would be amazing

Updated translation files with EMN attached.

Still working on next version release.

...You'd run into issues with transparent frames where the text might show through from the original cards. In those cases, you'd need to use use actual artwork...

That is what I do. But alignment is a bit of a chore.

I have something in place for XLHQ for next release.

[ahkren]

Ironing out some bugs, should have a release this week

I just want to say, thank you for all your hard work on these beautiful templates! I am totally looking forward to it.

[ahkren]

I'm glad you are enjoying it! I spend a lot of time on this and it's nice to see that people appreciate it.

I’m sure you have a to do list already, but I would love to have leveler cards for M15. (I believe there have been several duel decks featuring the leveler cards with the newer design.)

Also, of course, it would be fantastic to have some of the Kaladeshi stuff, especially vehicles.

[ahkren]

I have M15 level cards in the next update, which I have uploading to MEGA now. Expect an update within the hour.

Latest version (9.0.17) in OP

Ok, so I missed a bug in M15Renderer.php

line 603 should be

Code: Select all

if ($array[0] != '') return @$array;

not

Code: Select all

return @$array;

Small bugs:

• The Vehicles PT box is one or two pixels lower compared to the other colors’ PT boxes.
• The Vehicles frame doesn’t fit perfectly with the colored borders. It’s noticeable on the art box and rules text box. (For example, the art box is measured as 627 x 459 elsewhere, here it’s roughly 630 x 459, leaving some white or transparent color visible.) It also appears it may not be lined up correctly vertically, either.
• The Conspiracy cards and Timeshifted cards directories still have the old PT boxes.
• “Masterpieces” are the generic names for the special border cards in each block. Here, they are the Kaladeshi ones, so it would be good to rename it to “Inventions”.

Lastly, something that has silently bothered me for a little while (and I don’t know if it’s really all that critical), the green card templates are a bit too close to red and not close enough blue on the color wheel. The hue could be rotated about 60° to get it a lot closer to the real color.

Thanks again for your amazing work! If I can be of any assistance, let me know.
