I am having an issue with the mainframe template. Every time I switch to it I am unable to type rules text or flavor text and there appears to be no box in which to do so. Any advice on how to fix that?

![](https://imgur.com/zXRCgme) ![](https://imgur.com/zXRCgme) "magic.mse-game out of date..." there's your problem. Pick up the Mainframe Game Files, drop the load of folders in there into MSE/data and make sure that magic.mse-game gets overwritten as part of that.

Okay I can use the Mainframe now, but I can't access the flavor bar. Does it not have one?

Will the Legendary template have the flavor bar eventually?

Will the Legendary template have the flavor bar eventually? If you download the master mainframe style, it has flavor bar, legend frame, and normal all in one, as well as nyx, miracles, vehicles, and others

got some RNA updates for ya Name Exporter Update DownloadUpdated the names up to RNA and added a preliminary near-match checker. It's pretty basic at the minute but I plan to make updates over time alongside the updates for new names. Game Files Update DownloadUpdated the mechanics for RNA, updated the planeswalker lists, and fixed a bug causing the number in "converted mana cost N" to become a mana symbol.

The legend frame can also be done manually as a checkbox in the "style" tab, as well as Clear, Nyx, Vehicles, Miracles, etc.

I'm encountering some problems with things that worked fine for me in the past but now they don't... they might have something to do with the mainframe game files updates, the RNA patch or the fact that I'm now working on Windows 10: 1) Four abilities mainframe planeswalker now only show me the first three abilities (without erasing the text of the fourth one, it's just not visible) breaking my custom mask; Enabling separate textboxes fixes the issue but it's weird to watch different font sizes per text... it worked well for me before and I don't know what might have happened, I'm sure it's a messed with something I shouldn't have messed with. 2) The most pressing problem I'm facing is the inability to create a new custom mask with success using the same old procedure (loading the template mask and the 345x493 resized artwork into GIMP, drawing white pixels into an invisible layer, then merging the 1st and 3rd, add shades and export to a .png file inside the mainframe-extra folder). It seems that MSE is resizing the custom mask with the image to fit inside the borders of the actual template... it's like a template Inception. Interesting enough, this problem is not evident when applying the artwork to the card itself and it shows a correct preview (see attachment). Attachment Deleted

Looks like the combined-textbox 4walker accidentally got patched out at some point. Will tinker with that to bring it back. "but it's weird to watch different font sizes per text" That is what the separated font size option is for. Using the separate textboxes is the main draw of Mainframe walkers and probably why this bug went unnoticed for so long. Change the "default image size" option to no.

Sorry to bother you even further... Is there a way to change the land text backgrounds from the default transparent to the solid colored one used in real cards? Apologies for the chopped down version of the attachment, it was too big. Attachment DeletedIn the Style tab there is the "Colored multicolor land name" option but it says it works on lands with a basic land type, but it doesn't seem to do anything regardless.

So after downloading the megafile, I found that I couldn't enter anything into the "TM & C 2017 Wizards of the Coast" field on either the m15 token or m15 legendary token. Instead the selection just sits there blink even when I type. The console has no response, so it doesn't seem to be that kind of issue. Anyone know why this is happening?

Coming across your mainframe templates has made messing around with custom magic cards about 1000 times easier and more fun, thank you so much for making these! They make it way easier to ensure that my card designs actually look good, and since poor aesthetics annoy me way more than they should, it really helps me enjoy custom card design a lot more.
I had one small suggestion that could add a little more versatility to the planeswalker template. Right now, if you choose to have four abilities, it automatically raises the height of the textbox. This makes sense, since you can't really fit 4 abilities in the smaller box, and it mimics the 4-ability walkers that WOTC actually printed. However, it might be useful to make that taller textbox its own menu option, separate from the number of abilities the walker has. That would make it possible to use the taller textbox with 2 and 3 ability walkers, which allows for extra flexibility when making walkers with complex or wordy abilities. I find that some of my thought experiments when I'm messing around with planeswalker design lead to very complicated abilities, and having that extra space would allow me to proxy them up without having the font be super tiny and cramped.
It's a small detail, but it comes up surprisingly often for me, and I thought others might find the option useful as well.
Again, thanks so much for your work on these templates, they're super flexible and easy to use, I love them!

lumi you have Automatic copyrights enabled, so it will use the data from the Set info copyright field and not accept new text until you disable that ohheyitsevvy There's a way to do this but its pretty finicky and involves custom masking. I've only done it once, and here's the shot of how to set that up: ![](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443557716842250240/547354531445342211/unknown.png)

Hi Cajun, Got a weird bug here that I'd like help with. Whenever I create a new planeswalker card, it looks like this Attachment Deleted![](https://imgur.com/7kOuDbA) Don't know if you can see, but in the first text box section there's a weird line where the mask appears to not be applying correctly? It's causing a line of unmasked picture to appear in the text box. Console doesn't say anything useful, it's complaining that it can't find non-Mainframe things but I don't think it's related. Reinstalling the planeswalker pack doesn't fix it. Have we seen this before?

Ran into a minor issue with DFC cards - using "normal back face" changes the card frame to normal but the P/T box is still the darker innistrad variant.
