Hi,

Can anyone make a short tutorial how to introduce Tokens into the game??

How they are represented, as separate objects?

I have the tokens all working, but I just need a place to host the images. The last site I was using to host is not full. Anyone have a place to host about 15 MB of images?

Can you use Megaupload, or is that the wrong kind of place for hosting the images.. or maybe photobucket.. dont know much about these things..

No, it'd have to be somewhere that allows direct linking to the images.

That's the problem. Most of the high images are hosted by that site, but for some reason they have HUGE versions of the tokens.
check out http://magiccards.info/extras/token/magic-2011/ooze-1.jpg
That is 480x680, which is far too huge.

I have resized them, but I need some place to host the resized images.

ah i see well then send them to me and by the end of the day if not sooner i will have them up and i will possibly have more then that to make it easier on you bort but only time will tell

Edit: my E-mail is Cyberdemond@gmail.com

Edit2: I could re size them my self but bort has already done that so i just need them so i can upload them and the only difference to my card image url text document is that for high has Magic-High and medium has just magic everything else is the same.

What Bort needs is an actual hosting location for the images he's resized. I would do it, but I'm already hosting several plugins on my server and can't really add more to that at this time. Megaupload and the like will not cut it. Nor will many of the free web hosts, which inject advertisements.

i do understand that and my place had no ads as i payed to up my storage witch also removed the ads on the site.

Actually, sites with ads, like angelfire, do work fine. You just need to be able to link directly to the image.

How can I send them to you?
The images for high are about 8MB in total. The images for medium is smaller. That may be too big to email, depending on how big a file your email accepts. Ideally, it would be great to find a place I could get FTP access to a subdirectory so that I could upload new tokens as new sets come out.

i am working on this as we speak


Edit: Be a member here http://magic-tokens.webs.com/index.htm and if i am right i can make it so you can edit and upload stuff.
Hope this helps bort.

I signed up, but I don't see how to upload. Ideally, FTP access would be best. I have hundreds of token images and I don't want to upload them 1 at a time.

Bort you now have Admin Access on the site so you can upload stuff i have already made the folders needed but if you wish to change things around do so
Title: Re: Tokens For Magic Plugin
Post by: Bort on January 21, 2011, 07:38:18 AM
Gordon228, that site didn't support FTP and it wouldn't allow batch upload. I decided to use a different host. Please delete that old site you made. Thanks.

no prob. i was only trying to help. At least i know now that the Site owner has access to the file manager and not the administrator. The file manager is the area with the multy file upload. No harm done tho.

The token inclusion was really awesome, man! Thank you, Bort! Now is so much funnier put Grave Titan in play, haha. :D
But why the tokens don't cease to exist when they go to other zones like spawned cards do?
Anyways, i'm very grateful. ;)
