Hello! Every once in a while this will happen to my cards... As you can see, the "mutate" section of the card has gotten ultra squishy and in the wrong place. I can't "click" on this box either; I now have to press tab until it gets highlighted. I don't know how to fix it at all and was wondering if there's something wrong on my end that I can change to fix these issues more permanently.  have you updated recently? this is a bug that was patched several months ago |

But check for Updates doesn't seem to do anything here You need to download MSE 2.1 directly; I don't know if that'll help with the issue you're currently having, but it might. |

Good evening everyone. I downloaded the GitHub file and pasted the magic-m15-saga.mse-style folder in C:...\Advanced MSE\MSE\data In MSE itself I encountered this: ![]() 
The Saga card itself turns into a blank space, heh. Any advice?

Got any advice on what to do with saves that are using deprecated settings and raising errors/warnings? Ignore this string below. I can't post without it showing up for some reason.

<menu type="context" id="fcltHTML5Menu1"><menuitem command="context" label="Textise it"></menuitem></menu> k there's a few varieties of errors here:
"modal_rules_text": that's an old version of the modal implementation I asked people to move off of long before applying the current fix. if you've lost text to this and haven't saved your set more than once i can recover the text from your .mse-set or .mse-set.bak file
"Missing key in locale:" means you updated to MSE 2.1.2 but didn't move over the data folder that was included with it, you should do that
"On line 1733: Unexpected key: 'stripe_coordinate'" are completely harmless and will stop showing up after the next time you save
"Use of `=` operator is deprecated, did you mean `:=` or `==`? I will assume `==`" are also harmless but don't go away. those don't affect my templates but i'll get around to patching up those since their coders are long gone.
"key: ' not contains(match' starts with a space; only use TABs for indentation!" i'm not sure what's up here, you might need to update m15-altered (M15 Mainframe)?

Some More Patches Oopsthere were more of these left than i expected. Patch Link, main link has been updated
New Things
• Added a tuning feature to Mainframe Planeswalkers to help with one-line abilities being very small. Combined chop now accepts a third number which will space out the textboxes that many pixels, giving the smaller boxes some breathing room. Generally you want this at 5, but I've seen it helpful as high a 10. • Also added that to Mainframe DFC's planeswalkers, except it's the fourth number of level 1 chop and level 5 chop (as third was already the right-hand-chop).
Bug Fixes • Fixed a bug on Mainframe DFC where Nyx Crowns broke everything. • Fixed a bug on Mainframe Planeswalkers with the opacity shape being too big. • Fixed a bug with the FNM/Zendikar pt boxes that made hybrid PTs blend funky.
• Fixed a watermark being the wrong size. montana this should fix your issue. • Updated the conspiracy scrolls to have nicer images and offset the rarity correctly. temp here ya go. • Fixed a bug where Etched Foil had bugged PT boxes. monoloco666 thanks for the headsup, for your other problem you need to upgrade to MSE 2.1.2. • Fixed a bug where DFC Vikings were bugged on Remove from autocount ( cjofcourse ) and had bugged illustrators ( kebelqwa ). • Fixed a bug on Mainframe DFC where the Mythic Edition stamp wasn't being masked correctly. eviletitz this will fix one of your issues, the other is also included in this patch And Another Thing
• M15 Extra and M15 Extra Udelude files corrected for MSE 2.1.2 can be found here, make sure only to get this file if you are actually using those templates, and only move over the folder for the template(s) you're using. cardist this is part of your thing.
Hey cacjun, question for you. Would it be possible to get Invocation DFC styles at somepoint? probably not and is there any way to make the ability text boxes smaller on promo frames smaller so that it shows more of the art like the showcase frames from ZNR? not really, frames are not very scale-friendly

Okay, so the errors are fixed. All that's left are a bunch of warnings. I'm guessing some of them will be gone the next time I save.
Here are the remaining warnings for posterity's sake.
EDIT: So modal is auto-configured now? EDIT2: I didn't lose any text btw. EDIT3: Udelude's template pack seems to be outdated now. Some of the features are not working, like the "tinged artifact" look. I'll try and follow the templating tutorial to see if I can repair the style of these cards. |

I have no idea if they'll fix the tinged artifact thing but it might. for the other, put this into your MSE/data/magic-m15.mse-style folder and it should shut up about the missing :
modals now automatically do the indenting on mainframe templates, just use the bullets and hard linebreaks (not shift+enters) and MSE will take care of the rest instead of needing the old painful manual system

Thanks Cajun. The conspiracies are great!
But, isn't there a problem with the copyright line on other frames? It's wider than before, and overstep on the rarity stamp or on the illustrator (for cards with P/T or loyalty)... It's an issue with the M15 mainframe (the "M15 style" frame don't have the problem). Did I miss an option to controle the copyright's text's size?

What's All This Then? In the download link above you'll find a pair of templates based on HonchkrowDavid's Photoshop pack template, a fullsize 600x1060px one and a mini 300x530px one. While not quite as powerful, it does have the advantage of working entirely within MSE! Well How Do I Use It? If you like, I made a video going over making the Skalor pack on the fullsize frame (so if you're on mini, just use half the numbers I use there). If you're more a reader, follow me below! Defaults By default, fields are placed as seen on the Skalor pack, with the full-image setup of the Nulien pack. The default "15-card booster pack" and "Age 13+" texts are written, and are editable. There is a rarity box centered behind the name field, but it is currently invisible. Why's that? Onto the style options!
Fringe color This colors the top and bottom of the pack a solid color, or if set to None, does the full-image effect from the Nulien pack Title color, Card count color, etc. These color the fonts of the text fields Small text over title Enabling this puts the smaller textbox over the bigger, like Nulien's. Disabling it does the reverse, like Skalor's. More detailed movement options will show up later on.
Text texture mode And now the fun begins. This takes a couple steps, but allows us to apply textures over or inside the title text as seen above for that little extra flourish. 1. Change this to "Masking" mode. This will change the card image to a black and white image with just your title texts. 2. Either paste your card into Paint/similar or export the card image. 2b. Optional: To apply a border, move this image to your image editor of choice ( GIMP is lovely and free). Select all the black area in and out of the text (in GIMP, use the magic wand and shift+click each black area). Grow your selection by ~1-3 pixels, (Select->Grow), delete your selection then fill it in with black. You'll have a slightly skinnier version of the image you started with. 3. Change this option to "Import" mode. This will create an image field over your pack. Paste in the image from step 2 here. 4. Change this option to "Texture" mode. This will create another image field over your pack. Paste in your image for the texture you want to use. 5. Finally change this option to "On". The texture is now applied over your text! Font sizes Set new font sizes for the big text, small text, 15-card text, and age text in that order (ie 10,20,30,40 to set those font sizes). Default sizes are listed in the description at the bottom of the client, and empty numbers are left on their default.
Rarity opacity There's that rarity symbol! This accepts a number from 0 to 100, with 0 being a completely invisible rarity symbol and 100 being a fully visible one. 70 is a good number if you're looking for a faded but visible set symbol for your pack. Logo placement, Main title placement, etc And finally, we have our options for moving these pieces wherever you want. Each of these takes five comma separated numbers for left coordinate, top coordinate, width, height, and rotation. Like font size, the defaults are listed along the bottom, and blank entries are left as default, so if you want to move the Magic logo to the middle of the pack, try ",500" (",250" for mini), or if you wanna put your name sideways try ",,,,45". The world is your oyster.

Thanks a lot for the booster template! It has been so much asked 
the font was updated and it made very long copyrights squish into unreadability so i turned off shrink-overflow Is there a way to customize this on our cards? I tried carriage return, but it's ugly with P/T or Loyalty. What about a Shrink copyright text parameter in the card style?

So the fixes to the style and game_scripts helped, now the template works! Thank you, Cajun!
I noticed I have two of almost the same type of template. I will remove the magic-m15-extra-udelude.mse-style template as I am not using it, and because I think your old magic-m15-extra.mse-style template replaced it. I had to do some digging as to where that template originated from, because I think I got it through some user's download pack/bundle that they put together and I didn't realize that it was Udelude's (and downloaded Udelude's older stuff, oops). Thanks for patching one of your older templates. |

Yeah, that's the one. Btw, @pichoro it would be cool, if you release the update for that frame. Like legendary frame or maybe full arts option!  It would be so cool. |

The copyright is stretching too far, making it go over the foil stamp, or if it's a creature over the artist credit.

Oh, okay. My bad. I won't be bothering you with code that has simple syntax issues anymore. I'll fix those myself. I think I was just worried I wouldn't understand the code when I saw the warnings. Thanks again. Also to answer your question, Udelude's templates did extend the colors into five non-canon colors. I haven't really used them myself, (I'm using the original colors until I make something completely original). But, I am using some special features of the extra card template. As I mentioned earlier, the "Tinged Artifact" look is something I'm using. It just gives the card a different look if it is an artifact with hybrid color cost. I'll post an example. 
There is also spell-land hybrid in the extra template. I really couldn't find out much about what this was supposed look like or how it operates. |

I have a suggestion for the split card templates concerning watermarks. I noticed that the watermarks that interact with the gradient of two mana colors only take into account the left portion of the split. This is actually standard and canon behavior. However, I'm making nonstandard cards where the left portion of the split is a different color combo than the right. Example from left to right of the split: R/W W/B. The watermark on the right side will keep the R/W color gradient, even though the right side is W/B. For now, I'm using the "set symbol" watermark, which is okay. This doesn't have to be top priority, as it's nonstandard.

Thank you very much, Unfortunately I'm not good enough to mess with these things so your help would be vital @ Pixelguard : Unglued lands are definitely not the same things. Unsanctioned template is MUCH prettier aesthetically, and the differences are actually huges enough (transparent background, centered name) that Unglued can't make the same job, especially for what I have in mind. |
