I'am interested in making some new virtual sets for the Stargate TCG and while I'am experienced enough in plugin creation, maintaining them and other bits of coding what I really lack is any ability with graphics.

What I'am seeking help with is to make a series of blank card templates similiar to those posted at http://andrewheintz.googlepages.com/home2. However there's a few problems with those and making them work with MSE (Magic Set Editor). As outlined by one of the MSE Template developers:
Quote1.) They aren't completely blanked; there're still text elements on them. Now, I can see that the person using them would take these little pieces of text and paste them over the other text elements, but you can't do that in MSE - the various elements used need to all be exactly uniform in placement. For instance, on the Asgard-Support frame, the floating 6 can't be bigger than the floating 5 - they have to be exactly the same.

2.) Following from that, the template would be extremely large because you can't just type in your own typeline - you have to change frames to change type (which means lots more memory occupied by the template). If the original creator had just stripped that bit of text off, there'd be one Asgard frame, one Ancients frame, etc., and it would be much easier to work with. There also wouldn't be missing frames. And of course, you could make new card types and stuff like that.

3.) They're low quality. He was probably working from a card database or preview images or something, which I explicitly say is a bad idea in my "standard response". To get quality, you really need to work from good scans.

So, I was wondering if we have anyone in the community capable and willing to help me out with this endeavor?

CCG Design Forum / Re: Game with Multiple Win Conditions
November 11, 2009, 05:16:26 AM
The current Doctor Who CCG does something similiar to this and in my view it definately hurts the game more than it helps. The difference being that it only has one win condition, however how to get to that condition is different depending on the goals played. So many of the cards require specific circumstances (and specific other cards) that it makes deck building a pain and takes away alot of the player's ability to adapt on the fly.

Agreed. I think it'd also help on table images.

I dont see any option to change that number, at least not in any place that would make sense for it to be.

I'am not sure about the WoW plugin in particular but LackeyCCG does support packs you can open (for just such an occasion).
#429
That should be fixed now. Didnt think at the time to check the default permissions on seeing/using the chat.

Bug Report Forum / Re: Feature Request: Game Saves
November 09, 2009, 01:54:56 PM
Sweet. I got to wondering why I had never noticed this before however so I did a little experimenting. The autosave feature apparently does not function if you've never saved a game before (Meaning the saved folder doesnt exist yet).

Bug Report Forum / Feature Request: Game Saves
November 09, 2009, 05:16:58 AM
I was in a game earlier tonight when the server went down and as a result the game my friend and I were playing was lost so it got me to thinking. Would it be possible to add in a 'save game in progress every X' seconds/minutes/whatever sort of option?

Bug Report Forum / Feature Request: Save Deck Changes
November 09, 2009, 05:14:52 AM
I'd like to see a confirmation when saving if it will overwrite an existing deck file. Additionally, how about adding in a date/time stamp in the browse window to see the last time that deck was modified?

Plugins & Plugin Creation Forum / Plugin Update Lists
November 08, 2009, 10:29:10 PM
Only plugins with an online updatelist should be in this thread. If the plugin requires a manual download (of a zip file for example) then it should not be in this list. This thread is also not for questions about plugins. If a particular plugin isn't working for you, first try to contact the plugin maintainer. Failing that you can contact me and we'll try to sort it out or at least get it removed from the list.

*** On 4/21/2014 I went through all the plugins listed here by me and added info to the ones that are currently down or unreachable for some reason. In a couple of weeks if they haven't been fixed I'll remove em completely. ***
