Card Editor with Pulp Alley cards

[Gulix]

Yep, that's it ! 

But you could also use a Numeric Input field to let the user set the font size (in the fields) :

Code: [Select]

"fields": [
    { "name": "skillsFontSize", "label":"Font size for Skills", "default": 20, "type": "number" }
]
And then, in the canvasFields, use this variable :

Code: [Select]

"canvasFields": [
    {"type":"textbox","width":330,"left":5,"top":260,"fontSize":"&skillsFontSize","text":"$description$","styles":"£description"}
]
But I think an Options field will be more suited. But for the moment, they can't return a numeric value. So it will be an evolution to make, and a card to update !

Alright Ill have to try that, thanks for the reply

[Gulix]

Here's a glimpse of what's to come :



That's new UI I'm working on, and you can try it if you want. Just download the sources at this address : https://github.com/Gulix/geckos/tree/skeletonsWithTabs

Looks like it is really coming along. Very cool! 

[Gulix]

A new release with the first Beta of Geckos.

New UI, new fields (List with images, Color Picker, ...), new functions (Shared options, description of template, ...)

Still more to come, of course ^^.

All the informations on the release page : https://github.com/Gulix/geckos/releases/tag/v0.1.0

THANKS for the update. Got to check it out! 

[Gulix]

I'm getting back into creating cards, to change from only developing the software.
And as I need them, I'm going to do Pulp Alley cards.
Already available is a template with classic character card in both english & french (here). Don't try it on the demo yet, it won't work  . I still got some minor issues to complete before releasing a new minor version.

And I'm planning to use this card as a base for other style of card (sci-fi/40K, fantasy, ...).

Also, Fortune Cards and other kind of cards should be added soon. I will need them translated to play with my fellow french gamers.

[Gulix]

Updated demo is now live !

The major upgrade is the Multiple Style / Style Inheritance functionality. A good way to get translated styles in a template, or themed styles. Look at the Templates for examples.

The Pulp Alley template now has two styles : english / français. And I can work on my 40K style, which will be added to this template.

be careful that a certain corporate monolith doesn't get wind of it as they'll make you shut it down since they own the IP for anything remotely related to 40k (including "40k").

[Gulix]

Well, I didn't find a way to make a 40k-style card.
So I looked the existing cards on the internet.
And I really liked the one by BaronVonJ : http://baronvonj.blogspot.fr/2013/04/pulp-alley-leagues-rosters.html

So I made a SVG variant of these cards, and put them in my editor.
Here's an example of a B&W version. I'll see later for coloured variants.



The font size of the description / abilities will need some refining. Also, I'm thinking of putting a "caption" area.
Right now, it's not available through the editor, cause it uses functions not available in the demo page. This weekend, I'll made available a new version of the beta with new functions, and this template will be available.

Any comments are welcome !

[Gulix]

Here's the "Fortune Card" template that goes with it :



Why remaking the Fortune Cards ? Well, I'm playing in French, so I'll translate the cards (and the Solo cards) to play easily. And with those two templates, my "cards collection" will be consistent.

The Rewards cards will follow the same theme.

Indy jones seems OP to me; at least for pulp alley. But I do like the layout.

[Gulix]

Well, Indy was just a test. I did not check if he was over-powered or not, I must admit 

[FramFramson]

He's made using the standard rules and with the standard abilities though...  

Seems fair game to me. Obviously there are stronger and weaker ability combinations, but most leaders are going to be very strong characters anyway by virtue of the way PA league building works.

Looking good, Gulix. Thanks for the update.
