Cajun Style Templates (UPDATE 3.0.5, Rooms, UB, MSE 2.5!)

Hey, I just noticed a new problem. When doing a vehicle token, the P/T looks like this : 




And the console returns the following : 


File not found: 'vpt.png' in package 'C:\Users\Utilisateur\Documents\Advanced MSE\data\magic-m15-mainframe-tokens.mse-style'
If you are trying to open a file from another package, use "/package/filename"

I suppose there is a missing file again ?

Mutate doesn't stack as expected with level -- In this scenario, attempting to move the final box (normally level area 3 / the second level area) moves it a crazy amount unless a decimal point is put in the second number (and at that point it doesn't work well in other ways like a +1 matching to less than one pixel of movement, but it's usable).

-2,2,

gives this absurd movement, while

-2,2.0


is closer to normal expectations.

//

Are sliding the typeline & mutate sectioning (hard bar divider) something that's feasible without the semi-transparency? Making a dynamic mask for transparency obviously isn't worth the effort but my limited understanding of moving fields makes me not have a clue how to approach it -- should I just bash my head against it or is there wisdom to listen to?

I did some more things on the Godzilla Template Style. Unfortunately i'm not good at coding. I tried to create the template on MSE, but everything went wrong LOL. I realized that the template i made before had only the version with stamps, so i made versions without stamps. I also deleted the Second Name Line, and put it separate, so it can be made into an option. Because of that i had to create 2 different Legend Crowns. There's a normal and a tall text version for the frame. If someone is willing to create it, here's the link for the images: www.dropbox.com/s/0vorhegvs48qkyj/godzilla%20template02.rar?dl=0



EDIT: Just came here to show a project that i started right now 

HERE THEY ARE!!! Please, remember that i did the text box from the scratch, so it will not look exactly like the original, but i think it really looks like the original. If i'm forgetting something, please tell me!

EDIT: Forgot the colorless frame LOL i knew i was forgetting something. Here's the updated folder: www.dropbox.com/s/3vumwbkmqonigbz/fnmwithcolorless.rar?dl=0

The coloration on multicolor planeswalker is off:
For contrast, here's the recent Narset of the Ancient Way, with a custom version using the most recent templates available



The opacity on the text box is also off, leading to cards that are very hard to read. 

EDIT: I really appreciate your work, cajun! Just pointing this out because it seems really out of place among all the high-quality card borders you've made

That would be awesome! thanks a lot for all the work you two did ^_^

cajun I have encountered a strange bug with tall vehicle tokens that is unlikely to ever matter in any significant way but I thought I'd let you know anyway. They have a strange blending issue that only seems to happen without text in the rules text box (demonstrating with a non-artifact white card as that makes it easy to see):



Other vehicle token issues I just noticed while messing around for the purpose of this post:

Legend frame is doing weird things:



Vehicle does not play nice with m20 style, not sure how one would go about fixing that.

Nyx-vehicle is not implemented in the tokens. Not sure if this is intentional or just oversight.

wew, looking great


Watermarks is on my longer-term to do list, theros spotlight effect i'll look into, think silverback_ape had posted blanks of those earlier...

It works! \o/



I had to edit the style file a bit, because I noticed you exported stuff in png when the current file uses jpg for the files you've generated. Once I did that (just edit the .jpgs out in favor of .pngs on line 38, minus the last one (stamp.jpg)) it worked perfectly

Thanks a lot! <3

PS: This was my first time using the mask thing. I think it worked well enough. Was far harder than I thought it'd be...

I see. 

My biggest problem with the mask was getting everything to line up properly. Size ratio, mostly, is what got me. Cleaning the image itself is more of a time-consuming task than a difficult one, at least in my experience.

And thanks! I really like how it turned out

Hey guys! noob here rs

First of all, you all are amazing, thanks for the updates! Two minor questios, I think.

1- Is there any Spellbook templates besides Jace's one? I'd really like to use Gideon's framing or Chandra's after it is released.

2- I can't use any number of Chapter Sagas but those 3, unless I create some stuff on Ps (which I dont know how to kkk) right?
I feel like having a 4th chapter on the template's options would be great

Anyway, tahnks again and keep uo the awsome work, pretty pls! hahahha

(stay home mfs)

Hello all! I've been an MSE user for years, but have finally registered to the forum today. Thanks Cajun (Pichoro and all creators who's names I'm forgetting) out there for an amazing OpenSource project and tons of work. In the past, due to my capabilities as an amateur graphic artist+coder (when I'm not doing science!), I have done a bit of tweaking of images and code for my needs, but your new templates seem to be covering anything I would need these days. So I have completely replace my antiquated MSE copy with your new version this week.



I original produced the complete Star Trek set + Planetchase sets, plus a side Planetchase project for Star Wars, using the older version and I'm now transitioning everything over to the new templates (since I had to do some keyword tweaking and other changes after further playtesting anyways). Planetchase transfer lost all my text in the non-Phenomenons, but not too much of a pain to redo those (only about 48), but I'm dreading what is going to happen to my 400+ main "Intro Set" file...fingers crossed!



So, on to the relevant questions:



1) Is it normal that the "Use for all cards" button is greyed out and doesn't seem to work for many attempts? Once I opened my older files in the new install of MSE, I was hoping that the shift over to Mainframe was going to be mostly seemless, but either of two things tends to happen: a) if it doesn't find the original template anymore, I get the start-up pop-up that asks what I want the new template to be - applying it tends to not work for many cards once it finally opens; b) if I don't get the first pop-up and then choose the new Mainframe as card type, it still tends to not apply to all anyways. Again, for the small expansion sets, this isn't much of a problem, since few to manually convert, but if I'm going to have to do it for the 400+ of the Intro Set, it will be a pain. I realise this might be a bit of an "emergent property" of shifting old files into a new install and hence might not be very easy to troubleshoot, but any quick ideas would be appreciated (if a deep dive would be required, then don't bother - I have lots of time on my hands during COVID shutdown, although our lab is still working from home).



2) Do you all know whether there is a plan to do the recent Theros Beyond Death-type full art lands template? I'd like to use it for some "promo" lands (or maybe all my basics) and thought I might be able to replicate it using your Mainframe 2020 Token style, but there are some slight differences of course (different top and bottom text line colors and gap below bottom by-line)...see the attached image (if I did it correctly):




...as mentioned above, I do have some image program experience, so could try to work it out myself, but if it is in the works (or in some template package or Mainframe options I seem to have missed), I'll defer to you excellent guys here.

Thanks for everything you are doing!
