HQ Card generator 8.x

[telengard]

Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot.

No problem.

I'm wondering if there is a way to support generation of custom cards. I'd use MSE but I'd like to use the same program I used to generate my cube proxies (for consistency). I'm going to go poking around, but if anyone has done this I'd be all ears.

Yes, however it's very cumbersome as you need to use the console to input text.
However if it doesn't bother you you can use misc/createCard . It doesn't support Planeswalkers or Planes as I didn't add those, because no one really wanted to use the text based interface.

It used to be possible to create a split in a split card or other monstrosities like that, but the new input doesn't accommodate for that

Thanks for the info. I don't mind the text interface at all (that's what I am using). I also don't have Planeswalkers in my cube so that seems to be a plus too.

Here are my HQ Pictures to create the Zendikar's Planeswalker

PS. Snacko, I don't find the rarity symbols from Zendikar on your link.
So, I have made them :

Data update for all languages WWK:

Update with Planes rendering, proper pen icon placement, some multicolor bugfix. The configurations files only have artist coordinates and planes option added:

I'll make a proper update later on, however I thought I had to push those changes out as they've been sitting here for ages.

I'll also update the art pack for cardgen with all Halfcat planeswalkers later.

Thanks for this update Snacko

Well... there is some new frames coming / needed...

WWK: Jace -> is a 4 ability planeswalker, the current blue frame is for 3...
RoE: Level-Up creatures -> there is a need for 5 colorframes (maybe 6, colorless level-up?), with 3 places with varied colors for the power/toughness box, and a nice chevron on left. Also, it's appear that there is a font changing on then...

HarryPitfall, you changed your name?

[HarryPitfall]

I lost my password for HarryPitfall account, and the function to "recover" doesn't work (I never receive the e-mail with new password, and didn't remember either...).
So, since I lost my account, :/ I create a new one... :/

I'm looking forward for the new frames for level up creatures... so much potential - yet have a yu-gi-oh feel!

Check your PM...

Hi -

First of all, great little tool.

I'm having trouble though generating a planeswalker. Both generateCards and generatePages fail on Elspeth, Knight Errant with:

ERROR: Symbol image not found: minus_0,0,0

Presumably this should reside in the \images\symbols folder, where I see a plus_0,0,0.png and plus_255,255,255.png. I have downloaded and redownloaded the base installs plus every update I can find... how could I have missed the minus symbol?

Thanks much!

[Snacko]

I checked and you are right, I'll update images-misc.7z package.
I've temporarily attached just this two files

[technothrakon]

Excellent! Thanks very much.

It's interesting that every new set comes with something that 'breaks' the proxy making... but i'm love that!

He already have multicolor planeswalkers frames, so, can I make a "work-list" for requeriments? Most of then needs to have same psd/origin of current image resources:

1) Blue Planeswalker Frame with 4 slots - the new Jace!
2) Loyalty-cost frame for zero cost - current, there is up/down only.
3) Colorless frame - this frame is alpha-blended, with only title/type/textbox, and the lines around art - see colorless eldrazi cards.
4) Level-up cards:
This is insteresting, they're equal to "eighth\regular\cards" frames, with some 'degress' of opacity applyed on textbox, I believe that 5 new cards frames with be suitable for then, with the "box" with level info (10 of the, 2 of each color). The textboxes have it's color changed too... (2 of each color)
Other option is draw with alpha-blend effects (50% and 75% transparent white with lighten effect - desktop applications can do this - php... I dunno)

I believe that I can do the level-up frames - as long I can find the 5 colors frames for reference and color extract...
Also, I can try to make the small frame for level info...

Let's continue our nice work

PS: I made the rarity symbol for WWK and ROE, they don't have the exactly color, but looks very good!
