Custom Card Generator
Hi everyone. I am a long time lurker and first time poster.
For years I've wanted to create my own custom cards but found the task burdensome. I would always eventually give up not wanting to spend the time to mess with layers in gimp or <Insert Image Editor>. My oldest son has reached an age where he can finally understand the special abilities and wanted to create his own cards. I took a deep breath and tried again. Frustrated and a developer by trade I decided to spend a few hours and develop my own EASY to use software that did not require the need to balance layer after layer. So without further ado. I present the Beta Release of my Heroscape Custom Card Generator. Git Project https://github.com/guggey/HeroscapeCustomCard Direct Download https://github.com/guggey/HeroscapeC...ive/master.zip Program Snap Shot: SPECIAL FEATURES Save/Load Built Cards Save Cards to pdf format (with generic backside) and png image PDF is print ready!! (Print Duplex for card back) Point Calculator SPECIAL NOTES Images are not cleaned automatically. Users will need to remove unwanted backgrounds from their images (recommend using magic wand tool in <Insert Image Editor>. However, Images will be autosized to fit (stretching may occur on wide images). I have included two example cards in the savedcards folder. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions or bug fixes DISCLAIMER This software is intended for educational purposes only. All images/trademarks are the respective property of their owners. Use at your own risk. REQUIREMENTS Windows .Net Framework 4.5 Last edited by guggey; May 27th, 2015 at 05:34 PM. Reason: Moved Project To git updated links |

Re: Custom Card Generator
Very neat concept @guggy, I make my cards in Photoshop. This looks like a very convenient way to make cards. Do you have all the traditional generals loaded into its database? We are all glad you decided to come out from the shadows and post, welcome to the site.

Re: Custom Card Generator
Thanks. I have all but valkrill. The standard images are built from Mooseman's High Res Templates.
In the current version you can add your own custom general backgrounds by editing data.hs and adding the appropriate images to the images folder. There is not currently a way to add them through the app. Last edited by guggey; May 27th, 2015 at 12:57 PM. Reason: Added Appropriate Credit |

Re: Custom Card Generator
I will have to try this out. Looks like a fun and easy way to make awesome looking cards. They do print in the correct size though, right? Anyway looks like a great tool.
Plus Rep for you. ~Syvarris45~ |

Re: Custom Card Generator
They print the correct size but it is full bleed meaning that they will be slightly larger to prevent the card stock from showing.
v0.1.0.1 has not been published yet so the fixed issues/new features listed on git hub are not available. I just started a new job this Monday so I'm waiting for things to settle down before I can spare time to finish the additional features I had planned to include in v0.1.0.1 v0.1.0.1 was planned to contain an auto clip feature (auto magic wand) but I have not nailed the algo down to an acceptable standard yet. Let me know what you think. |

Re: Custom Card Generator
Workin' good so far, but I cant figure out how to print. I go to save, and when I click the little arrow that shows all the formats, all that comes up is ".hscard" How to fix?
Thanks! ~Syvarris45~ |

Re: Custom Card Generator
Click the Save Image Button at the bottom right of the form. It will save a pdf and a png to the install directory. Standard install directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\YOUUSERNAME\HeroScape Custom Card.
In the unreleased (v0.1.0.1) a save file dialog has been added. Let me know if you have any other problems. |

Re: Custom Card Generator
Has this been updated at all to have Valkrill, Revna, Volarak, and Thormun? I may have to Buckle Down and learn photoshop or something to make Army Cards but I am trying to find the simple option. I know Revna,Volarak, and Thormun never had a real commercial release but we know their symbols and colors.

As for Revna and Volarak templates, @Anitar made some on this thread (check the first spoiler) that are compatible with Magic Set Editor. I do not really know anything about a Thormun template. |

Re: Custom Card Generator
I followed that link but when I click the Spoiler Tag it just says Revna and/or Volarak in bold. I will reach out to Anitar is I get the same result on PC. Thanks gor the direction!
