Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Thanks for your input, but I also feel that it is pretty close when printed out as the cards look much dimmer on real cards than in gatherer (compare the scanned artwork to wizards).
If you want to tweak the luminance / saturation levels you're free to do so.
I will credit you and link as an alternative resource for people who share your view.

A question snacko,
when have you got the spanish DB cards for create yor csv files?
I have created an application for convert it in mwForeign format and I wish have all sets cards translated with its flavor texts.
Thanks you, If the source DB format is easy to understand I could give support to the MWSTranslator for create your csv files from it.

Another question,
can you give support to render alterations cards using the same tecnique that you used in planeswalker?. It would be very interesting for reproduce thing like this

Personaly, I like very much two cards:

http://bp0.blogger.com/_GesOq1QyC60/RlS ... rea+11.jpg

I get my translations from the gatherer, I've got a script that parses the pages and outputs the language files. It's a bit crude, but works and currently I got no time to make it better.
I got the sqlite db with the cards but it's not yet fully tested so I don't use it yet.

Sure will add an overlay for the normal cards it's a one liner and doesn't interfere at all.

Thanks, I dont see that script in the HQ card generator core, but
can you send my it for knowing how to parse the spanish card pages?
Have the last spanish csv that you maked got all spanish text of those pages?
I have tried the gatherer and i have discovered that only a small set group are in spanish. I remember, for example, that the 4ED was in spanish and in the gatherer it is not.

Excuse me but how did you do this?: http://xs537.xs.to/xs537/09112/etherswo ... ist326.jpg A place where text is written is white, and on my pic is grey: How can change on white?

Do you have \images\eighth\regular\borders\W.png ? if not you haven't downloaded all the packages images 8.2.6 should have them
Also check for any errors on the console output.

How to make Elspeth, Knight-Errant? Generator says:

In CSV file i write: 2,Elspeth, Knight-Errant,ALA

Whats wrong?

Every card with a comma has to be in double quotes
2,"Elspeth, Knight-Errant",ALA

Redone the planeswalkers frames form a different source, plus now Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker works as it has a proper frame
You can see if you can spot a difference

Thank you, waiting for the update.

Hi Snacko,

I tried building a set of cards with altered saturation/hue/luminance from the basic cards incuded in the 8.2.3 ressources, but creating anything except the basic cards doesn't work. Even with cut & paste of the different parts of a card i can't capture the right parts of a card wihout losing shadows or highlights etc.
Could u provide me the original ressources u are using to create the cards so that i could edit the original parts and then re-assemble the differetn cards?

Thx in advance,

Greetings, Gandalf

The images included are the original resources, I only have psds for Planeswalkers / Futureshifted. Everything else was provided in such a form by other people, and they might or might not have any other version available now.

I have a problem with HQ Card Generator and Windows Vista :
Windows Vista hasn't the feature to drag and drop a file from Explorer onto the command shell window (system32/cmd.exe).
So I can't drag and drop a deck file onto the "generatePages.bat" window. Right now I get a circle picture and nothing happen.
Thanks for your help

It's a known feature in Vista (no drag and drop functionality for cmd.exe) and has been fixed for Windows 7. You can get around it by using Power Shell or create a shortcut and drop the deck on it.

Thanks, Snacko. I have created a shortcut and droped the deck on it and it works now
