Strixhaven Mystical ArchiveA first go at this template. Tell me if anything is broken.   
Mystical Archive v1.2When you extract the folders, make sure that both "magic-showcase-strixhaven-archive.mse-style" and "magic-mana-archive.mse-symbol-font" are in the main data folder and not inside a subfolder of their own inside the data folder.

Hi. I'm having trouble installing these. Any advice? I was able to just drag them into my MSE/data folder and have the template work flawlessly.
And it does work flawlessly! The flavour bar could be tweaked down a few pixels as standard, perhaps, and I just wish it had a few more bits to work with. Adding support for mainframe rarity images and gradient multicolour would be fantastic.

Well, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The folder with the strixhaven stuff is in the "data" folder, but I launch the program and it doesn't reads the options for that frame. Not with the mainframe template and not as a separate template.

Just drop the "style" file into the "magic-showcase-strixhaven-archive.mse-style" folder and overwrite the existing file. The main link above has also been updated with this patch.

Thanks for the quick patch! It works just fine.
I had a bit of a look into the inner workings of the template too, and there's definitely some interesting stuff going on behind the scenes. I see that gradient multicolour is going to be a much bigger job than I had first realised.

I had to write up a custom blending option to match the implementation on the real cards. A simple gradient that ignores the separate sections of the frame is easy to enable. It would look like this for three color hybrid.  _ A more complex blend that respects the outlined sections of the frame is doable, but would require more masks and a few creative decisions. Obviously I've already taken a few creative liberties with the inclusion of the PT box, land variations, and the artifact frame. I can work on this if the naive gradient in this example is insufficient for your purposes. As for mainframe png symbols; I believe I understand how Cajun has implemented that, so it should just be a simple copy/paste. |

I don't necessarily need gradient multicolour for the frame to be perfectly fit to use, but it would be a lovely addition. The simple gradient is entirely fine for my purposes, and we'll be free think on how to do the more complicated and faithful gradient multicolour as a thought experiment for the future.

Okay, styling option for the simple gradient hybrid/multicolor included, and mainframe png symbols included. Updated the link above. Download the new link because I also implemented guild mana in the symbol font and tap/untap symbol options. |

Wonderful, it works perfectly for me! I'm infinitely grateful for the work that you and Cajun are doing here, I would like to learn myself how to copy every new template WotC makes but it's still too hard for me. Can I ask you if you have any plans to do the new showcase template of the elder dragons of strixhaven (the hybrid colors on rules text)? Seems Cajun too busy or not interested to do it unfortunately. I would do it myself but I'm afraid to just do a mess on the style script  Thank you in any case and keep up the good work! |

I'm having a problem where there is no text box for the main text of the card. Everything else has a field that is fillable, just no card text box
