  |
|
Hey, I'm trying to make some frames to make BT cards using magic set editor. I need 600dpi scans of cards to begin work on the frame. I need 1 of each type of card, in each print style. For examples of current frames see these frames for Magic 8th Edition. The set editor can and does support many games. In theory because of the design it can support ANY card game. I figure if Pokemon and VS can have frames made, so can BT. Once complete I will link here so anyone who wants can start making custom cards. I will also be making a thread for my custom cards if Mordel is cool with that.
EDIT:
Forgot to say that they need to be in png or another lossless format in order to be high enough quality for me to edit them and use them as frames. Thanks

I'm cool with whatever.
Good luck with the scans. Took me forever to scan just the artwork.

Hehe :p I only need a handful of cards 
I only know of 3 styles of cards (old style with black border, old style with green border, and the new style)
I also only remember there being 4 or 5 types of cards...
Mechs, Commands, Vehicles, Resources... whatever else?? :p
That would only be like 15 cards... 15 scans at 600dpi for something the size of a BT card would be what? 10 minutes? 15?
 YOU could do the scans, I know you have the cards *teases Mordel*

Yes, I could do the scans. My scanner is kind of old. Probably sufficient enough, but definitely not the best. I tried scanning in pictures once and regardless of how I set the resolution, it came out looking like crap.

Well, if you can do not-so-good scans I'll work with those to start with. To at least get something out there.
Or, another option if you care to is to grab some extra cards you have (should you happen to have enough) and send them to me via mail and I'll scan them. I can send them back if you care, or you can send all commons that you don't care what happens to. Up to you though I just wish I hadn't sold all my cards on eBay a few years back.

OK, tell me exactly what you're looking for and I'll see what I've got. I've got a bunch of cards and I'll find 1 sample of each for you.

Ok, as far as I know there are only 2 styles of cards. The original style with a couple border colors (don't matter on colors, the template doesn't use them as border color gets added via internal scripting), and the Commander's Edition style (which I think is what your Deck Builder output was in wasn't it?). If there are more styles I don't know about... well... then I'll need those too.
I also need 1 of each TYPE of card. Like command, mech, and what not... from each style of card.
Finally I need a list of all the center text stuff (not sure what the spot on the card is called), ya know where it says Clan - Mech - Unique and what not. This I can probably find online, but if you have a convenient source or something let me know.

I'll see what I can do. Also, you do know I list all the cards on my site here, right? Including all card text?

Nope. Well, I guess I did and it slipped my mind lol. I know I've seen entries for the cards on the admin panel I have access to, but... well... it just didn't click ya know? That happens when a person runs themselves ragged. Which is why I want to make this card template. As a way to relax and just do something I enjoy for once.
So, ok, thanks. I'll just look at your card database and get the text info I need there. As for images/cards, let me know what you come up with.
