Quote from: turtlelemon on January 31, 2025, 10:05:54 PMSecond, I don't think you ever added FDN Jumpstart. I know it's a huge set, but according to the wiki, there's 56 new cards. Maybe just those?Dagnabbit, I completely missed that one. Plenty of reprints with new art, too, but it's odd that enchantments don't have the "new" (for non-creatures) enchantment frame, like in Foundations itself.

Which is mostly fine, I just use the one in the right side number area. But for some reason Lackey refuses to recognize those buttons. Is there anything I'm missing that will let me change that? If not, ages ago on a different computer, I did need to use this program called Key Tweak after my 6 y and h buttons stopped working, so I can prob find a way to make it work. Also, when looking thru cards, I just always start at the top now and go down.Yeah... sorry, I don't know what to do about that, other than a key remapper like you suggest. You could try mapping the numpad arrow to act like the other arrow.

Last post by turtlelemon - January 31, 2025, 10:05:54 PMThanks for updating! I'd almost rather this set just be Universes Beyond Mario Kart than what it actually is, but even still.
Three things, one of which you probably can't help me with.
First, Error Downloading Image on a lot of stuff from mb2 between the 500s and 600s. 1sld 790s and 795s and also archenemy 54-58.

There used to be a plugin for Monster (Farm) Rancher Battle Card but has been abandoned.

What is Monster Rancher Battle Card?
- Originally a Japanese physical card game that was never released in the west (Also in Japan it is referred to as Monster Farm, while English released games are Monster Rancher).
- You choose 3 monsters to play with, along with monster-specific cards, as well as "Any" monster cards, or "Breeder" cards. (YOU are the breeder)
- Win by KOing the opponent's 3 monsters first, or lose by deck attrition. (Your Draw pile is also your resource for spending your resource to attack or defend).
- The English Video Game versions had poor translations, but made it to GameBoy Color, and PlayStation1.
- The GBC version only had the first expansion, while the PS1 version had 3 expansions.
- The Physical cards go up to a 4th expansion before they were discontinued.
- The Physical and video game versions of MRBC play with the exact same rules so it's an easy transition
This might lead one to ask: What is Monster Rancher?
- Started as a fantasy Pet raising and breeding simulation, like Tamagochi on steroids. It's also very roguelike, before that was specifically a genre.
- The original gimmick in Monster Rancher was the ability to swap out the game and insert CDs in the PlayStation and a monster is generated from the CDs meta data
- The monsters were able to be cross-bred as well, so in addition to being able to pass down traits, attacks etc. from parents, they can have hybridized looks too.

Plugins & Plugin Creation Forum / Re: Rotate a card 30 degrees
Last post by CrazyChucky - October 06, 2024, 12:07:38 PMYeah, unfortunately there's no way to do that in Lackey. You could try using notes, or perhaps visually tying a color of counter to each direction?
Another janky idea might be to pick a corner of the card that will indicate direction. Then you've got four out of your available six directions covered, so only the other two would need a workaround.
Obviously none of these is nearly as straightforward or elegant as what you could easily do with physical cards, but oftentimes with Lackey we have to find creative workarounds.

Plugins & Plugin Creation Forum / Rotate a card 30 degrees
Last post by rhgbta - October 05, 2024, 04:35:38 PMHi,
I am making a plugin for a playtest group to use for online play for a new game. This game has players move cards around on a hex-board. Direction of travel for the cards is denoted by the direction the front of the card is pointing. This is a core mechanic of the game.
the thing is, this seemingly simple thing does not seem possible in the game. I can't seem to find anything that lets me rotate cards in a custom direction, only can rotate right, upside down, and forward. Am I missing something?

Last post by CrazyChucky - October 03, 2024, 09:28:05 PMI updated the plugin last night, but didn't get a chance to post a message here, so this is for yesterday, 10/2/25.
Sets with added card
Scripting improvements
TOKENS
This is the big one. As of Core Set 2020, Wizards introduced a new frame style for tokens. Roughly five years later, I've followed suit! I've reverse-engineered all the fancy transparency effects, and whenever possible sourced higher-res files of the art to better enlarge and fill the full-ish-art frames:
Now that Wizards has been printing official tokens that are copies of cards, I have a real style guide to follow for displaying mana costs on tokens, as reminder text rather than in the title bar like I've been doing previously:
Also included is the added legendary crown on tokens:
In some cases I've picked different illustrations, if the one I had previously didn't work well in the new aspect ratio. Handily, Donato Giancola has since done a wider view of the same creature design in his own Shivan Dragon artwork:
I've also overhauled how I handle planeswalkers. Since there are so few of them, I've been Photoshopping custom elements on top of each individual card. But now I've created separate frame elements and automated the process so that I generate them from the ground up like everything else. This means I have more freedom to alter or omit text as needed, as seen here:
(From left to right: original card, Photoshop work on top of it for the old token style, and full-generated version for the new style. This way I can leave off things irrelevant to the token — like kicker and casualty — and add the mana cost.)
I've also added all the new tokens that Mystery Booster 2's playtest cards create, but have not yet made custom art for them.
All the custom-generated tokens in Lackey can be viewed here.
Hope you enjoy them! As always, let me know if you find anything missing or incorrect.
Sets with added card
- Secret Lair Drop
- Duskmourn: Kaito's emblem, which wasn't on Scryfall yet when I added the set
Scripting improvements
- Token scripts for playtest cards, and conjuring scripts for Alchemy Made Real cards, in Mystery Booster 2
- Cards that reference finality counters can now create one.
