I'd really like to be able to use PNGs (with transparency) to get that nice corner rounding effect on card. Not sure how hard it is to do, but it'd be nice.
Agreed. I think it'd also help on table images.
Thirded. Maybe we could make animated PNG's even for a sort of "Holo" card.
I fourth that just for the holo effect. :D
That would be probably the single coolest card effect ever.
aardvark, that reminds me, we need to get a Hax game sometimes soon! We just released the fourth set, so now's a good time. Try to catch me on the LZ chat box sometime later today or tomorrow.

You can't animate png image files, only gif :)
Oh cruel cruel fate! Why must you make it so?! I'd rather have holo fx than transparency. I can live with a white/etc. background. But a life without holo is a sad life indeed. :'(

Nope. There is such a thing as Apng.
It's rarer, I'll give you that, but I am 1000000% sure it exists, I use it on my website :)

Thankfully, my browser doesn't recognize the abomination.
They come in handy for when you want higher resolution and color range than a GIF, but still need animation.
I'm not saying they are perfect, but they DO exist.

Hmm, I've never heard of that before! But thank you for correcting me!
I line myself in for png as useable format to make invisible effects tokens ect.
Are their now other image formats supported? (asking now 3 time in 2 years i think that cant be that hard)
Greetings Alucard
I will add support for other types, and transparency, but I'm working on some other things first. No ETA to let you know.
hello everyone, is their now a update for other image formats so i could use transparency for my round playchips?

Oh, the card back has to be a jpg. In retrospect, I will make it so any image format will work. But a png should work for any other card image file, aside from cardback.jpg and spawned.jpg now.
but normal card images that i save in png dont show too only the cardback + the text so what do i do wron?!

You included the image suffix in the ImageFile column, right?
If that isn't the problem, send me your plugin and I will take a look.
"image suffix in the ImageFile column" could you explain that a little sometimes my english isnt enogh^^

The third column of a card data file is the ImageFile column. It lists the names of the image files. If the image file is a jpg, you can omit the ".jpg" suffix as that is the default image format. If it is not a .jpg file, you need to include the image file suffix. If you have an image file named test.png for a card, you need to put "test.png" in the ImageFile column for that card.
here is the old plugin
http://www.file-upload.net/download-3653263/Behind.zip.html
You are using the oldest plugin format. The new plugin format is at http://lackeyccg.com/tutorialplugin.html
You should use the new plugin format. It more gracefully handles many of the errors you have, and it has more utility.
Your card data file is messed up in several ways.
You have spaces in the set column, and that will cause errors.
You don't have the .png suffix in your ImageFile column that I recently mentioned.
You have a bunch of extra entries in your set column, from row 63 to 91.
I looked at the image files. I don't see why you aren't using jpg format for those. It would be a lot smaller file size with the same image quality.
they are just samples but i also have chips for these character cards that are round and black borders would such their or? hmm i tried it now with 1.png instead of only 1 but same result

I don't really support the old plugin format. It was written before .png was added, and .png files may not be supported with the old format. The tutorial I linked explains the new plugin format and I think you will find that it's a lot easier to work with.
