Here is a very bare bones version of the template for unsanctioned lands. I haven't vetted it for mainframe compatibility. I keep meaning to make all my personal templates mainframe compatible, but it hasn't happened yet. I've built it in a way that makes sense in my head, but I've included a couple alternate masks in case one wanted to layer everything in the background behind the art.

Thank you fedosu but the template unfortunately is not working good. The place where I should put the mana symbol is not working at all (it won't even open) so I can't put any mana symbol and the console is giving me those errors (screenshot in the attachments) Attachments:

Cajun and friends, can you help me solving this problem, please? First of all, thank you for all this work. The new developed templates are getting beautiful!!! Now, that being said, I've been facing a problem with the Mainframe Walker template. I hope I'm not just being stupid  I already downloaded the recent patch and replaced the previous files in the data folder. The menu beside the card doesn't seem right (no options for the loyalty stuff and horizontal stripes, for example):

no worries, this is an easy one. the options are gone because that stuff is now all magically automated on MSE 2.1.2, and if you're not using MSE 2.1.2 you get that not quite right thing you've got there. However, that other error you're getting tells us you have installed MSE 2.1.2, you're just not using it! Probably you have like an "mse.exe" and a "magicseteditor.exe" in your MSE folder, and you should run the second one instead of the first. |

That's my bad, I didn't really test it properly (read: basically at all). I'm N]not where the correct computer is right now, but when I am I'll fix my ridiculously obvious error. |

Cajun and friends, I've just gotten back around to messing with MSE, and have been trying to update my old random card ideas file (as well as MSE itself) to the newest version. (it was in 2.0.0 before I think? but the set file itself is much older as I've been using it for a long time for any random one-off card ideas I get) After messing around with a lot of the files and settings and such, I think I've got most things sorted out. But there's one error I can't figure out: When I open my old random cards file, the console throws "collection has no member '5' in function special_text while updating card value 'special_text'" three times. Also, when I select or scroll over 4 ability Planeswalker cards (in the Mainframe Walker template), they get really odd visual bugs and the console throws more errors "collection has no member '5' in function special_text" I've checked, and it only throws the error for 4 ability Walkers; Walkers with 2 or 3 abilities generate no errors and no visual bugs, even with the same Mainframe Walker template Sometimes if I click away from those cards onto another 2 or 3 ability Mainframe Walker card and then back, the visual bugs go away but it still keeps throwing the error. Other times the cards keep the visual bug no matter what I click or change. (still with the error) I'm wondering if it's just a side-effect of trying to carry an old set file up into newer versions, and if there's any way to fix it.   |

Hey there Cajun and everybody!
I have a big request to You, coding gods!
So we have m15 Extra Udelude's Template, that adds five additional colours (purple, yellow, orange, brown and pink). It allows to create simply cards and lands, but it do not allow to make full-art cards, it didn't add legendary crown and other stuff. And here comes my question, can anyone make maybe additional verision of (really highest quality) M15 Mainframe template but with addition of these five colours? and maybe one M15 planeswalker mainframe with that colours? (and extra points if anyone would like to make maybe Unstable Basics with them too, i really love them .-. )
I would be really glad, bc i have no idea how to do it by myself, and Im determined to make some use out of the five additional colors, in fact i started a project with them ;p
If anyone would be so kind, i would gladly buy some Ko-Fi or do something in return!
Thank you all for great work and lovely atmosphere!

I've downloaded the zip, unzipped it, dragged the contents into my MSE data folder, overwrote the old files, and it still gives the same error. I've also gone peeking around in the files, to see if I could figure out what even the special_text function was even for, and I think I may have found an error in the style file for the mainframe walkers? On lines 205 - 207, there's "if card.loyalty_cost_4" three times when I assume it's meant to be 4 on 205, 5 on 206, and 6 on 207 ? (judging by the rest of each line after that bit, also maybe a missing ~ and a missing +"\n" near the end of 207 ?) Changing those lines fixed the error and visual bug. |

Changing those lines fixed the error and visual bug. those appear to be correct on the current version, you may have missed a patch somewhere. very strange that that would cause that error though. special text is where mse saves the "real" text of the card, so you can get like "-8: Take two extra turns." even though those are separate textboxes, but it doesn't control the image.
the missing "\n" isn't missing, that's a linebreak and there wouldn't be one at the end. the missing "~" is technically missing but because that bit of the code isn't used anymore it doesn't affect anything. |

Okay. Here is the corrected version of the unsanctioned lands. I'm going to do a little bit more work on it, specifically to create dual etc lands with it, but once I sort that out I'll post it in its own thread. Attachments:unsanctioned-land-v2.zip (234.48 KB)

Excellent fedosu, this time it works perfectly, thank you very much (at least I think) XD
I have a request for Cajun : is it possible to add the evocircle feature of the Pokemon template in the Mainframe Template, so I could match and mix it with the other features available? (I am doing a Pokemon set and it would be really ideal for example, being able to have the evocircle with a level up template. But the evocircle is so basic and flexible enough that could be used for many other designs and purposes I believe).

If you have everything properly updated there is the ability to use the Evo bar from Pokemon. Sounds like you're possibly wanting it in a place other than where it's normally located on a card though. Is that right? |

Is that right? no the evocircle is a different thing. in pokemon it shows a tiny image of the pokemon and the bar has the line 'evolves from whatever' anyway lux the evocircle would be the same thing as the popout image so i'd just recommend using that |

alright cajun, two words: LESSON FRAME I feel you, but they *literally* just came out in the last few hours fam. Be patient! XD i need five Strixhaven Update!
• Added the Lessons frame to M15 Mainframe! Enabling this adds the little circle by the name as seen on the Lessons cards. This can have the Lessons symbol, any of the DFC symbols, or a custom symbol from magic-mainframe-extras input in the Custom symbol style option.
• Added Magecraft, Learn, and Ward keywords!
• Updated other keywords to use Mana Value!
• Updated word lists to include Fractal, Inkling, Lesson, and the Last Seens for planeswalkers!
• Added "Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery" -> "Activate only as a sorcery" to the auto errata option! As a reminder, that's an option in the Set tab that, when enabled, replaces old text like "Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery" into its new errata'd text, "Activate this only as a sorcery". This also applies to mana value and "then shuffle", and instantly applies to all your cards in the set!

inside the zip are a folders named like magic.mse-game and similar. Move those folders inside your MSE/data folder, and let it overwrite old files |

The selection box was there even without the lesson frame selected, so I didn't even think to check the style options! |

Seems that your custom mana symbol option only recognize six options (colorless and WUBRG), I tried to add more letters but won't work. How do I put all the 11 pokemon symbols in the same set? 2) M15 Extra template has more extra colors (Yellow, Pink, Purple, Orange, Brown Spectral), which would be just perfect for my Pokeset since I would cover easily Lightning, Psychic, Poison, Ghost, Ground, Rock and Fairy type. I really need those colors in your mainframe template, so I could do the Level up template in yellow or pink card color for example. If you are not planning to add it to your mainframe anytime soon, got any advice for do it myself in order to avoid doing a mess that wont work in your style code? |
