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

Has been done by someone already. This is the link with the auto-copyright and other updates.

Reality Glitch Honestly, I think you could use the Saga template for that, and just change the terms that autofill the first text box. It would help stop them looking so scrunched up, so you could use more complex and powerful effects as chapters.

Yes, I know. I'm suggesting an alternative.

Ah, fantastic! I had played around with the numbers a bit but hadn't gotten it to work quite right. I'll give these a try. Thank you!

Hi there. I'm having a minor issue with the Mainframe DFC template. The stamp borders aren't lining up with the rest of the border piping. This occurs when I select any of the border types with "normal" proportions, including the Vehicle, Nyx and Miracle frames. The Planeswalker and Map frames line up correctly but the colors don't seem to match on the Map border, as you can see with the files I've attached. I've tried reinstalling the template and the game file updates without luck. Hope you can provide some insight.

As a side note, thanks a lot for your efforts in consolidating these templates. I've been using MSE for a while and it's nice to be able to have everything in one place. Looking forward to more from you.

Hello! First time poster and I read through the entire thread and don't know if I saw it or not, but has the flavor bar been added to the legendary frame? I don't think I saw it here and I don't know how to navigate through MSE outside the basics.

Hi Cajun, first post here !

Is it possible for you to create a template for legendaries theros god ?

I mean the new legendary frame from dominaria with the template of enchantment creature from theros.

thanks, keep on good work

Reality Glitch been there, done that, it's an absolute mess. There's a reason the mainframe templates are split the way they are

There's a big update for Mainframe templates new and old in the works, just have some patience

Well, if you try combining all into one template, Cajun tried that, and ended up stuck with the "stack-overflow dilemma". (If you have too many scripts in an mad template, you will experience stack overflow, and MSE will run script errors that isn't even part of the script.)
A way to handle that is to include less of the templates or to make a simpler version, that isn't omnipotent the same ways the Mainframe templates are. (But there is no fun in making a mega-template if it isn't going to be omnipotent...)

The grandaddy of all frames is finally ready. M15 Altered has been massively upgraded, with seven frames able to be applied, many in combination with each other.

Text Chopping: Text chopping works the same as ever, and will even be saved from your previous M15 Altered, but now has an extra mode. I've had a few requests to change it to be similar to Mainframe Planeswalkers where you type "5,5," in one box instead of "5" in two boxes, and this has been added into Chop Top.

Frames: The Map, Clear, Full-art Promo, Legendary, Miracle, Vehicle, and Nyx frame are all able to be used by this one template. With a few exceptions, these can be stacked to create Legendary Vehicles, Miracle Promos, and so on. (Vehicle overrides Nyx, Clear only works with Legend and Miracle, Map only works alone.)

Other options: Some various bits that have been requested, namely the prerelease stamp from M15 Extra, an option to use the brown pt for Legendary Vehicle, the dropbar from the Pokemon template, and the more accurate generic mana symbols created by ancestral.

Popout image style: Brought over from M15 Extra (and the other Mainframes now) is the option to place a second image that will go over all the other elements of the card. For those of you new to this, this text box wants the left coordinate, top coordinate, width, and height of the popout images, such as "29,59,316,231," which is the placement of the normal image.

Flavor bar offset: Brought over from M15 Flavor Bar, this allows you to tweak the placement of the flavor bar when the equation goes a bit off. Where's the flavor bar you ask?

Mainframe Set Options
As we get more and more Mainframe templates, it makes sense to be able to change some settings for all of them in one place, which we can't do in the Style tab. Luckily the Set tab does handle that.

Use Flavor Bar: Enabling this will use SirnightNano's flavor bar on supported frames, currently M15 Mainframe, Mainframe DFC, M15 Future, and Mainframe Tokens.

Auto Legends: This is enabled by default and will automatically apply the Legendary frame to non-planeswalker Legendary cards in the supported frames (Mainframe M15, DFC, and Tokens)

Mainframe Rarity: An often requested feature is to use outside .pngs as set symbols instead of trying to wrestle with the symbol editor. M15 Mainframe finally brings the solution. First, create the .png renders for each of your rarities. You'll want to save these images into MSE/data/magic-mainframe-extras.mse-include (or a folder inside it) as "SETc.png", "SETu.png", "SETr.png", "SETm.png", "SETs.png", and "SETmp.png". You will want each of these even if you aren't using all the rarities, but the extra rarities can just be blank images or renamed copies of the other images. "SET" can be anything at all as long as it's consistent across all the images. Then you'll type "SET.png" into this textbox and the rarity symbol across all the Mainframe templates will update to your png images.
You will need to distribute these images alongside the set. I've tried a few things to prevent this but there's no user friendly way to keep the rarity symbols alongside the set file.


Now that we've got a few token frames under out belt, there's been a few requests for crossovers, so lets just knock them all out in one go. Mainframe Tokens combines the Token Copy, Tall Tokens, Legendary Tokens, Clear Tokens, and HonchkrowDavid 's Nyx Tokens in almost all of their iterations (there's no clear+nyx, but everything else works).

As above, Mainframe Tokens works with the mainframe rarity, flavor bar, and auto legends Set options. It also has the prerelease stamp, ancestral mana symbols, popout image, and name/type altering, plus two options requested by crushcastles to center the pt box and remove the rarity symbol from the line, giving more room for the typeline.

There was a minor big introduced that could cause errors such as "Pay life" that has been corrected in the download links. For those who have already downloaded, here is the patch, simply save this to your MSE/data/magic.mse-game folder.

Booping in for a minor update to the watermarks file, adding some darker images to be used by the Story Spotlight on land cards. You will be fine if you don't update this, it's just nicer for people who are after the dual land story spotlights.

oddnanref none of the templates here support that no.


EDIT: Another bugfix, Auto-legends stopped working for mainframe DFC, can add this file to MSE/data/magic-m15-mainframe-dfc to fix it.
