MSE - Easy Army Card Creator (V2.5) (New Glyph Cards)

[Syvaris]

How do we make the background disappear( I am completely inept with these things). This is a great program though, and definitely my most used piece of scape. Now if only I could get my camera to focus on my figures, it won't do it for some reason and its very annoying.

You'll need a graphics program like Gimp, unfortunately. Load the image into Gimp and erase the background. Resize the canvas so you have plenty of blank space around the image. Then save it as a PNG. Now when you load it into MSE, it will have background transparency (which you just added), and fog added by MSE.

Thanks I knew it was something easy but couldn't figure it out, I must be one of the most computer inept young people of today.

Next version released! (1.3) The main change in this version is that LARGE BLANKS have been added! The cards are now almost twice as large, and so should be much better suited for printing. I haven't done the Basic templates in large sizes yet, as soon as they are ready I will add them as expansions.

Great software! Could you add destructible objects and glyph cards?

BTW: +rep

[bmaczero]

That's on my to-do list, along with Basic blanks in the large size. I'm having trouble finding good quality blanks or even the full card images for them, and I don't own any so I can't scan them. My friend should be lending me a glyph card tomorrow, so I'll just have to take another look around for destructible object cards.

Thanks for the comment .

ha ha ha. tried to download this with crappy dial-up. what a joke it was gonna take like 9 hours. oh well. looks pretty awesome though.

[bmaczero]

Less than 1 MB an hour? That is bad. If you really want to check it out I could probably get the size down to 3 or 4 MB just by converting the cards to JPG.

Why is it that when I go to print a card it prints like 1 inch by 1 inch?

Well that is a problem.

That's MSE's built-in print function? I have not figured out why it does that - but you can work around it by exporting the card image (FILE -> Export -> Card Image) and pasting it into a program such as Microsoft Word. It should print at the right size then.

EDIT: I take that back - the card will not print at the right size even then. You have to resize the image within Word to be the correct size. I will see what I can find out about getting the built-in print function to work, thanks for the report!
