Card Image Uploading Standardization

[jmizzle7]

There needs to be complete uniformity with image uploads for cards. Scaredgirl created a good naming system and each card fits within specific dimensions. Let's keep it that way.

The format should be as follows:

Image size - 146x222 pixels
Regular card - CardName.png
Upgraded card - CardName.png or CardNameUpgraded.png

Example:

http://elementscommunity.org/images/Cards/MaxwellsDemon.png
http://elementscommunity.org/images/Cards/MaxwellsDemonUpgraded.png
[/list]If we all adhere to this strict naming system (each word capitalized with no space or character in between), linking the cards from the wiki to the forums will be as easy as typing in the name of the card when creating a new card thread, and having uniform dimensions will make everything much tighter and more professional.

yess....

i'll start working on to fix the newly released cards that i uploaded in wiki...

im currently out of order providing card images.

additionaly:
im out of date about the card changes at all (since spider buff).

it would be very helpful to have one thread taking track of all the changes (like cb! did with patch 1.21 here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,4049.0.html))

Yep, that's something we definitely need. I'll set it up.




20 minutes later...

Ok, it's done. You can find it here: http://elementswiki.co.cc/resources/card-changes/ It's under "RESOURCES" in the main navigation.

So the plan is to simply add card changes there as they come, new ones one the top and old ones on the bottom.

i'm currently uploading all the new cards/art, so someone else should do that


EDIT : NVM.... i was reeeaaalllly bored today and finished both. card changes updated up to 1.25. excluded some stuff like listing creatures that got airborne or listing all 12 pendulum, so if someone's really bored, do that.

Boredom ftw! Thanks.

I took care of the Pendulums. I wasn't really bored but I did it anyways.

Im so free to update all the "new" card images to the standard.

Btw. We should "implement" a standard table to be inserted for new cards. If not then the source code will be even more messed up, like the DuneScorpion one:

Agreed. When I edited the Elements Card Lists, I saw a lot of useless source code, and I was happy to use an editor with syntax coloration to remove it.

I have not checked the code in the card articles yet.

save as png8 format.

PNG8?  I think PNG24 is better quality and also, put a transparent in the outside border of card itself, so it can blend into any background easier without see a white "unnecessary" border appears.  If it's factor with bandwidth/memory size issues, ignore my PNG24 comment. :-)
