WIP : A custom card generator ?

[ftbhrygvn]

I switched to Flash because after some searching, I figured that Flash 8+ use his own font renderer, different from PHP GD's font renderer, Freetype. If I want to have the most accurate card, it gave me no other choice but switch to Flash. Now, I'm happy to work on this project because I finally found a good reason to learn Flash.

Actually, PHP supports FreeType too. Forgot to mention that

A quick update. I mostly done test, but now it generate big cards (I can still generate small ones, but it need a button, don't have time right now).
You can always test it here : http://helltgivre.free.fr/elements/card.html (http://helltgivre.free.fr/elements/card.html)

A quick test picture :

Planplan, if you haven't already, you should allow for the inclusion of the element icons in the card description so we can generate fully functional cards. In addition, if these are identical to the in-game card templates (it sure looks good enough to me), we could use this to generate any new cards to upload to the forum and wiki.

Oh my god.

This is... SO intuitive. Like, I don't know how to explain it... it's so simple, yet so perfect (almost) XD.

+Karma for this AND if this gets implemented soon, you can expect every person with a card idea in their head to go bat$#!% crazy over this program and begin conjuring their ideas non-stop.

Can't wait til' we get to start using this in the Card Art/Ideas forum.

Planplan, while the big cards are awesome, I would prefer if you add an option to also be able to generate normal sized cards. Why not have both, when you can make cards that resemble real cards perfectly?

Oh, I can simply shrink the image manually... OK... +karma then!

I'm working on it now, it's the most important missing thing I think.

I try to make them look as identical as possible, but their are some (minor) differences.

Like I said, the program know how to do them, but I need to add the button for normal sized cards. Doing it right now (after a bit of cleaning).

It's possible, but the font will be pretty poor. Flash use a dedicated engine for small sized fonts.

NAME: Chuck Norris ELEMENT: Fire COST: 15 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 20|5 ABILITY: Approve: Each turn Planplan gets 1 Karma.	NAME: Chuck Norris ELEMENT: Fire COST: 15 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 24|4 ABILITY: Approve: Each turn Planplan gets 1 Karma.

ART: ??? IDEA: Tukkun NOTES: Don't say this card is overpowered. It's in fact really underpowered. SERIES: None

Oh, and maybe if it's too hard to have the "quanta images" for abilities, you can do some sort of drag and drop stuff. It sure should work.

[jmizzle7]

Your picture should be the Walker: Texas Ranger Thumbs Up™ to go with the Approve ability.

[$$$man]

are we allowed to use this instead of pixlr/photoshop templates to make cards +karma to planplan

[icybraker]

I'm pretty sure you are; lots have been doing it. But one main problem is that you can't add quanta icons to the description yet, so it may look strange if your card requires that.

Regardless, this generator allows me to spend more time thinking about the idea than actually making it - precisely what I want. Epic.
