[jschild]

Keyword file is missing - Mediafire says it's not there.

Thanks, it must have still been linking to the old one.

Has anyone used this program with linux/ubuntu? I see there is a linux version of MSE but I was curious if anyone used it with the templates provied here as well. Just wanted a better idea of what I was getting myself into. Thanks.

Hey all,

I've been using this program a lot recently, and I wanted to share a small modification I made.

I found that the test box for the powers on the left-hand side of the card is a bit too small, and as a result, you tend to get smaller font sizes than is necessary. I figured out how to modify the style files, and I've gotten the results I like.

Here's my edited style file for the "dungeon set" cards:

mse version: 0.3.8
game: heroscape
short name: DS
full name: Dungeon Set Styles
icon: card-sample.png
installer group: heroscape/DS
position hint: 6

version: 2010-9-17
depends on: heroscape.mse-game 2010-9-17
depends on: heroscape-marvelsymbols.mse-symbol-font 2008-07-29

card background: white
card width: 728
card height: 691
card dpi: 150

styling field:
	type: boolean
	name: fog image
	description: Automatically add fog effect to card image?
	initial: yes

init script:
	
	caps := "yes"
	
	colorcheck := {
		if to_lower(input) = "jandar" then rgb(70,70,70)
		else if to_lower(input) = "valkrill" then rgb(40,40,40)
		else rgb(255,255,255)
	}
	abilheight := {
		if card.marvelsym = "" then 472
		else 430
	}

Just copy that text into notepad, save the file as "style" (NOT "style.txt"), and copy it into data\heroscape-ds.mse-style in your MSE directory. Replace existing (back it up if you don't trust me ) and you're good to go.

[bmaczero]

Thanks dok, I added the changes into my copy . You just changed the numbers for the abilities box, right?

EDIT:

Request: Drop down bar for Sizes (Small, Medium, etc)

I'm pretty sure that's in there?

[Confred]

ah, my version must not be the latest.
Good job bmaczero

Yep, and the "abilheight" parameters. I just figured it was easier to tell people to replace the file than to explain how to edit the parameters.

I'm having problems trying to download the Marvel Templates. Mediafire just keeps saying "Processing Download Request..."

Is this just me?

[Drewman-chu]

Is there a way to toggle the keywords on or off?

2 ways.
First, you can turn Keywords off for all cards by clicking the "Set Info" button on the menu bar, then selecting "No" on the Automatic Abilities line.

If you want to turn off an individual Keyword, after typing it in, highlight the name like "Flying" and click the [...] button located by the Bold and Italic buttons.

Or right-click the text itself, and click the "Reminder Text" button.
