It would be cool to just give a link for a picture, and to fill out a few boxes (Special Ability, Identifier, */* Abilities, and Verse), and then have the program put it all together and format it for you so that it looked cool.
This doesn't have anything to do with making cards for games. This (according to my understanding) only allows those without GIMP/Photoshop/etc skills to make cards.+1
? Idk, as I said I think it might be for a online game.Nobody said ANYTHING like that. This will be a Redemption card generator (see this one (http://bighugelabs.com/deck.php) and this one. (http://www.wowtcgdb.com/creator.aspx))
I doubt it, mjwolfe's got a pretty full schedule implementing all the features as is.
Very well done! It's missing a few details, but I'm sure Lambo can be more specific.

Also, you can now see it uses a random heroes brigade.

I didn't mean the splash art. More general art.
The actual artwork (i.e. the boat on AoCP) is splash.
Is there a link to the card designer yet or are you still updating it.
The link doesn't work.
Are you going to make it so you can add pictures in?
So you'll release the pick upload soon?
I found a problem with the numbering. It's isn't putting the # in that I want.
EDIT: If you try and put just 0 in then it will put out a random number.
If not less... when you add identifiers and warrior/weapon/TC class symbols but all in due time.DO WANT
fifty percent cooler*Facepalm*
Where is the link? Is it on the Redemption Connect page?
This is SUPER cool, but I couldn't figure out how to put a picture on the card.
cause i hate when the card has great art work and text covers it.Then write a shorter ability? ;)
Something I noticed because I'm OCD:

If a line is just the right length, it doesn't center justify properly.
Sean what i was talking about an example like the above card the text just stays the same size id like to see it smaller. I mean i typed 6 lines(doubt anyone uses it but id like to see the text shrink cause i hate when the card has great art work and text covers it.
The link doesn't work for me.
Okay, the Designer is back online, complete with custom images, identifiers, and classes! If anyone is willing to get me the territory class icon, I'll be glad to add it. Let me know what you guys think!Here is a high-res one. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/w0rf47/territory.gif)

Alright, 4 more borders added, along with the territory class!Hmm....not sure if it's an error or not but TC is way too large.
Can I just pause amidst all the "this is good, but this other thing would make it COOLER" posts to say THANKS! You've done a great job so far and I just wanted to make sure you know that we appreciate your work. You rock. :D
That, and the angel border doesn't have the picture you select.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
This is something I've only dreamed about.
You do realize you are my Hero Character, right?
Also, I am having trouble with custom images. I see them in the crop/resize area, but they don't show on the card. Am I doing something wrong?
Still can't figure out how to move the cards. I tried to paste and I tried to drag.
Could you add Lost Souls to card type?
Any way you could do dual color and three and four colored cards.
How do you change the Artist? It looks great, I think it will be a great feature!

Can you give me the share link?

Can you explain what you mean by "move" the cards?

Getting them onto this thread to show people is not working for me. I can't copy paste it onto a microsoft Doc and i can't drag it from the creator to the post reply box, it just doesn't show up.
Wow, that's crazy. It's amazing how much you got done in a weekend.
sean i think your doing a great job with this. as for me and jordan you heard how happy we were when you told us about the idea.
Now that it works, we cant wait to see whats next!
I cant get the image to show up on the card it just stays a black screen.
This program is incredibly!!!

This is REALLY cool.
A few points of constructive criticism:
1) The brigade icon has some cropping issues in the bottom right corner. As an artist, those white pixels around the edge bug me and hurt the quality.
2) I'm not sure if this why this happens, but I see a lot of Jpeg style compression around all of the type. What's causing this?
Personally, I'll still use Photoshop, as that's what I'm most familiar with. Other than that, this is a really freaking cool program. Major props.

All images used in the creator where extracted from this thread: http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/new-card-ideas/card-templates-26760/ (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/new-card-ideas/card-templates-26760/)
That being said, none of them were usable right out of the box. For example, all the Icons were in a jpeg file, which did not have the transparency needed. So using a image editing program I selected the white area around it and deleted it making it transparent. That's as far as I went and intend to go. If anyone is willing to re-create the images in a png format in high quality, I'd be more than willing to re-map out the images for the card designer. I am not, and do not intend to be, a graphical designer. I have absolutely NO skills in this area and unfortunately probably never will.
I know this is completely off topic, but I have no idea where to ask this. Is it completely illegal to use ANY image in the signature, even if it's only like 500px x 60px?
That would be awesome, make some noise and the leadership may allow it. You're pretty respected around here thanks to stunts like this.
This was done by another member of the Redemption Community. Enjoy!
In the lower left corner, you could add a Redemption Connect Symbol
what browser do you recommend using for the card designer In internent explore it says there is an error when you go to crop, in google chrome the picture never shows up like it has a broken link. (even with the .jpg)
Chat Conversation End
I think the only slight fault is the identifier font. It doesn't quite look right... Everything else is amazing.
How about now? Does it look right now?Looks better for sure. I don't know the exact font to tell if it's perfect, but much better.
What do you mean?Nevermind, was misinformed.

Fixed! Thanks for noticing! ;DFinally, someone appreciates my nitpicking!
I don't get it.More than a few gamebreaking combos have been created with ANB, and the card was errated to prevent that from happening. STAMP's just trying to return the favor.
I am having trouble getting a picture onto my card, I am using Google image.
Can you make other pictures without a jpg let go in the card?? Cause I know it was annoying me and my dad that we can't find a picture, with a jpg. Where should I search?? I go on google images.
profile?
it says that the "profile" tab does not exist.LZ is still working on the Redemption Connect! features.
profile?
The profile tab is on the page with tournaments, academy, and play groups. I got to the page by clickikng the R on the top left of the card making page.
Also, could it be possible to have an ability to use pictures on your computer not just online?
Well, I have used the Yugioh Card maker which does allow me to use pics on my computer.
Here's a Link so u can check it out:
www.yugiohcardmaker.net
Okay. I'm just saying that would be nice to have that.
Also, is it okay about having the words get smaller?
And are there going to be a tri-brigade card maker in it too?
Will the words in the title be able to go down a line instead of going into the icon box, I have had problems with this.
Also, could u have it that members can save their cards so they can come back to them and work on them if they need too?
Also, is it possible to get more colors for the borders?
Oh, I havent read the entire thread so idk.It's generally considered bad form to expect others to go out of their way for you. It's not that hard to read the thread, and there's a bunch of cool cards spread throughout it.
Can u put all that's going to be updated on the first post so everyone can see what will be updated?

First of all, he didn't demand anything, he only asked if Zardeck would update the OP of the thread.

Second of all, it is standard practice for people with ongoing threads to update the OP of their thread to reflect changes. I do this for ROOT, and most people do this for their trade threads. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask Zardak if he would be willing to do the same for this project.
Also Prof, it's ZardECk.Oops, thanks for pointing that out. I went back and fixed it. Actually it makes a lot more sense your way considering this is a card game and all :)

The card designer is really well done. Clean interface, good features, easy to use. I do have a couple aesthetic issues.
The main thing standing out to me is the text. You really need to turn anti-aliasing on for the text, it will make it look a ton better. I don't know what language you're using for the backend, but if you can't figure it out, let me know with a Private Message, I can probably help if it's Java or anything .NET.
The identifier text should be Tahoma/Verdana, which is not the same as is used for the illustration credit/copyright info.
Most of the card backgrounds look pretty nice, but the default Navy Blue has some fuzziness near the top left. I'd either remove that or not make it the default. Likewise, the black background has some fuzziness on the top border, as does the demon one.
The icon boxes sometimes look a little wonky. I see that you took some stuff from the Icon Boxes thing I made years ago, and I didn't do a very good job on that. If you'd like, I can try to make a better set for you, although I haven't done much of this in the last several years.
These nitpicks aside, this is a great tool you're providing!

Hopefully that illustrates what I was talking about with the fuzziness.
The icon boxes aren't terrible, some of them just seem a little muddy or have obvious crop marks, especially ECs and EEs. Nothing terrible, but they just would look better a bit crisper.
I've used very little PHP, but look into where you can activate anti-aliasing. It'd make a world of difference. This site (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imageantialias.php) suggests it'd be as simple as just calling imageantialias($aa, true); but I don't know what sorts of libraries you're using.

If I could ask a request, could we get the priest border? It has its own unique style...It would help if someone with both free time and photoshop skills would make a template.

Do you know of anybody?
What if there is no link after I'm done creating the card?
When I click on the "R" in the top left corner, It goes to the news/tournaments near you/....ect, but once there I can't get back to the card designer.the card designer is in the academy. which is under sites.

We plan on addressing this by having the "R" drop down with options similar to the sites.
Can u make a way that we can put our own Set logo on if we want?
Quick question, how do you remove a card from your account's gallery?
