Combine any 3 cards 3/page with GIMP Script-Fu
Download a precompiled 3/page PDF of all C3V/SoV, as well as other custom projects here.
If you only want to print selected C3V/SoV, C3G, or HoSS cards, I recommend using X Minus 2 Customs Card Printer instead of the below method So I got my title and most of my rep from posting compilations custom cards (C3V, C3G, CUC), official maps and scenarios, and other things. People have asked me to create custom card compilations or update and tweak ones I have already done. Until recently it was very tedious and time consuming to do, and since I have put off combining them recently, I figure I should invest the time to make future updates quicker and allow other people to easily combine any 3 cards they want to a page. So I created a Script-Fu for The GIMP to allow anyone to freely compile any cards for printing, whether it be C3V/SoV, C3G, any cards exported from MSE or PS templates, or pretty much anything sized somewhat correctly, preferably at 300dpi. I need to clean up the script a bit, and it only works with 3 cards/page, but it gets the job done. Let me know if this works and if I need to change anything. Here is a sample: Here is the old way (7-10 min a page):
Spoiler Alert!
Here is the new way (less than 2 min a page): Setup

Re: Combine any 3 cards 3/page with GIMP Script-Fu
Not sure. Glad to see at least someone downloaded this and tried it. What version of GIMP are you using and what OS? When you create new image before adding layers, what color space and fill are you using (advanced options)?

Re: Combine any 3 cards 3/page with GIMP Script-Fu
Try downloading Gimp 2.8.x (current stable version is 2.8.6). I am using shared library computers right now so can't test it, but I think because I used the latest and greatest function calls, they might not have been available on 2.6.x.

Re: Combine any 3 cards 3/page with GIMP Script-Fu
Alright, I've spent about an hour playing with this thing, I'm going to go insane in the membrane if I don't ask for help.
I get to step 3 using GIMP, after getting the cards on the sheet as layers: After each card is added as layers, run my script in the menu Layers → Overlap Layers. In the prompt select the margins as follows: for C3V/C3G and most other exports that are 5.37*5.09 inches with a red outline and a cut-off border around each card, leave them at 30 Left/Right and 45 Top/Bottom. I click layers but there is no Overlap Layers command, I tried a couple of random other layer commands but it wasn't working out. Help? Please? |

Re: Combine any 3 cards 3/page with GIMP Script-Fu
That was it, thank you. I created a page and exported it to the desktop, when I click to open it, it opens in Windows Live Photo Gallery, is that bad in any way? It is a PNG file.
If I just threw that exported file onto my USB drive and went out to an office max, I could hand them the USB and tell them to open that file and they could print quality cards from the file? (This is exactly what I plan to do, lol.) I would get it printed on glossy card stock, laser printers. It looked nice on the C3G cards, so as long as that GIMP file thing is legit, this should look good... right? |

Re: Combine any 3 cards 3/page with GIMP Script-Fu
Can anyone recommend a specific brand name and type of paper for printing custom cards, I believe I saw a thread about this a while back, but I can't seem to find it now...thanks!
