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.

[Alucard]

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.

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

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.

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.
