Card Creator program

[Xerics]

What programs does everyone use to create the custom cards? How do you get the red hit box area with the green dot? what program do you use to make the background transparent?

I use GIMP to create and edit the images for my cards. I use MSE to create the card itself.

To create the hit zone image, I use the same image I edited for the figure image, filling in the shape with red, then use the paint brush to put a green dot wherever the eyes would be.

I downloaded all the custom Cards from the site but I can;t seem to get some of them to work on MSE. Like the pokemon ones. I got the templates but I can't get them to show up. Am I missing a file or something?

lol i figures it out. I was missing the update files from the downloads.

Ok I am having a different issue now... I found a small picture of what i wanted for my hit box but it just never fits in the space provided...

Leave some extra empty space around the image before importing it into MSE. In GIMP, you would do this by increasing the canvas size. I've made a template that I use to help me size the image correctly. Save this to your computer, then open it as a layer over the image you are editing. Adjust the image size to fit in the transparent area then adjust the canvas size to fit the template. Before saving your hit zone image, delete the template layer (or hide it). When you import the image into MSE, it should fit perfectly with no adjustment needed.



(This template is designed for use with Classic cards)

ok I think i got it. The Hit zone looks a little blocky to me though. Anyway I can fix that?

Looks like you need a higher resolution/larger image to start with.
