Title: How do I make my cards?
Post by: Graystripe77 on December 16, 2011, 10:17:38 pm

I've been trying to figure out how to make my Cards for my expansion and I just CANT get text on the cards. How do I fix this?

You could download Magic Set Editor, then use the Dominion template found here: http://mtg.pifro.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1442&sid=f55409765f1d08d30c640d5983523e91

You'd still have to print it out, and then sleeve it on top of existing Dominion cards.

You have to click through a couple of times to reach the actual Download site, works fine for me.

1) Did you download both things? (just checking)
2) Did you double click the dominion extras installer?

(works fine for me also)

I saw no 'dominion extras' when i installed the thing. Tried re-installing, still wasn't there.

The "dominion extras" is another thing that you download. Have you made two separate downloads?

On the download page for the set editor, do i click 'download' which does nothing, or do i click 'magic set editor 2'  ?

I've got the MSE, but your link keeps sending me back to the MSE, not a Dominion add-on. What's wrong?

I haven't linked anything actually. :)

I will now though:

The download link for the dominion stuff in on this page:

http://dragonpro.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=30&view=summary&cid=7&catid=4

That is the page you get to if you click 'Download' on the page linked in the post on the OTHER forum, which was linked to in THIS forum. You need to click 'Download' again on the page I just linked to actually get the Dominion Goods. Sounds like you keep clicking on the small link just below it (on the page before) that says "http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/" which is just a bit of readme/description text.

PS - the download button is light blue. ;)

Now I've got the basic action card, but nothing else. I need Victory/Treasure, Action/Reaction, Etc. Is there another link to these?

There is a Problem making my Irrigated Land Card. Since it is a victory/treasure (which MSE colors wrong anyway) I cant add any additional text. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I don't think there's a way to fix this without modifying the template itself, because the location of text boxes is hardcoded. I personally don't have much experience with MSE templates.

Also, from what I could read about the template, the font for Dominion card names is TrajanPro / TrajanPro-Bold. Both are commerical fonts that cost money. Presumably, if you install the font, your fonts for the card names will start working. Or you could modify the font to a font you do have, if you know how to do that.

I copied and pasted the card templates from a forum on BGG entitled "Fan Made card: Apprentice", from July, 2009, into Microsoft Power Point, where I made my cards.  On MPP you can enter text and then select no line, no color for background, and it works great. I would post an example, but I don't know how to copy/paste on this forum.  Help any one?
