HQ Card generator 8.x

[Snacko]

Sure I'll upload it to the mediafire folder and ask Goblin Hero to get it up on the page in here.

Did you use the old one I made for linux + wine (easily edited for native php) from here as base ?

[jendave]

I sent the files in a message. Thanks! I did not really use the wine-based scripts. Since php runs fine using Macports, I felt a "native" solution was best.

I downloaded the latest version 8.2.10. I got this from this page http://www.slightlymagic.net/hqpics/4-mtg/13-hqcg. I downloaded all the files found in that page.

When I try to generate pages, I get an error. The error is "PHP Fatal Error: Call to undefined function readInt(). Below is the screenshot

The computer that I am using has Windows XP 64 bit installed and the file that I selected is a .dec file.

Also can someone point me to the wiki, from the previous post that I have read I believe there is wiki for the Card generator.

Thank you for any help that you can provide

I've fixed it, but most likely it's not what you wanted. The dec format the generator expects is MTGO binary format, which most likely is not what you want.

If you have an Apprentice dec file you should convert it to mws / csv deck file, which you can then feed to the deckbuilder.

Wiki http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/CardGenerator pretty much mirrors the first post (they can get out of sync) viewtopic.php?f=30&t=465

How do I tell the program the directory to where the pics are located. I edited the config.txt and placed the directory there. See below

[cropped art]
art.random = 0
art.keep.aspect.ratio = 1
art.directory = C:\mtg\pics
art.extension = jpg
art.error.when.missing = 0
art.debug = 0

But when I run the generatePages.bat I get an "art not found" error

I read the readme file and it did not say anything about this.

Thanks!

Picutres use MWS directory structure
C:\mtg\pics\[setname]\[cardname].jpg

For example
C:\mtg\pics\M10\Angel's Mercy.jpg

It's the directory structure you get automatically if you use the HQ crops from this forum viewtopic.php?f=15&t=445

I've been fiddling with the planes renderer (takes less time to cut than futureshifted, but that will be done too at some point), however it uses quite low quality frames.
Here's a sample:

That looks cool Snacko, plenty high quality.

Why not use our UHQ pics for frameage if you want more?

If it weren't for my wife, Snacko, I would love you...

In the "native.tar.gz" file, the generateCards-decklist.sh file appears to be corrupt. It should be a text file containing the lines:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
./php/run.sh scripts/generate.php pagedOutput=false decklistOnlyOutput=true $*

I'll check it out and reupload.

[OniNoKami]

How do you guys print the generated images so that they fit in card sleeves with cards in the sleeves?

Currently, when I print it the print out is larger than the actual magic card size.

[Nyth]

Sounds silly, but I crop the pics out of the generated page and then place them in my MWS pics folder. Then I open up MWS, select the cards I want to print and print proxies from there. MWS resizes them as necessary.

I know it requires a bit of fiddling about and backing up the pictures in the MWS pics directory but it works and is the quickest way for me. Also, it helps that the cards end up with the latest Oracle wording so when I'm printing proxies of old cards for EDH decks, other newer players understand the actual function of the cards. Hope this helps... Oh, and the size your pics end up when cropped out of the page is 736x1050.
