Mako Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey folks, I've been messing with this for a little while, and finally had chance to finish it up - a card creator for turning fated into M2E characters. It also works for making story encounter cards, of course. So here's a character I played for a while, a wannabe death marshal who was raised by necromancers. He had a complicated relationship with the guild (and the remains of a teenage crush on Lady J...), but deciding to learn necromancy on his own to improve his chances of joining the death marshals was not his smartest idea. The files are in this zip, as they're quite large. I should make it clear though, they aren't perfect copies of the real thing. This is deliberate, I'm making a resource for conversions from TtB and for fan made creations. Not for making copies of playable cards. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9563951/M2E%20Card%20Creator/M2E%20card%20creator%20pack.zip Anyway, hopefully it's useful for folks who want to play their TtB characters on the tabletop. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Mako I am using GIMP as an editor. How do I change the text fields? It seems I could change the size or placement but how do you edit what the text actually says? I am new to this so be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ah, that's one I know the answer to and it's not good news. GIMP has problems with Photoshop text fields, it turns them into images rather than editable text. You'll have to create new text layers unfortunately.

Critical Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Is there another free editor that would work well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not that I'm aware of, but someone else on here may have some info I don't. I used GIMP for a while, and had to recreate the old first edition card creator in it by replacing all the text layers because of that very reason.

LordZombie Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 That is coolest thing ever. My encounters just got 20% cooler. Now if only I can figure out how to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hopefully it's not too tricky, the layers should all be labelled clearly. Photos go on the back layer, where there's a black one currently, and show up through the hole in the background. The rest is just turn layers on and off as you need, and type into the text ones.

Mako Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The other thing I should do (and should have done way up at the top) is say a big thanks to the guys at Wyrd for being so accommodating, and letting me post this. After all, they own all the bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Very cool. Great resource, thanks for putting it together. If I ever get a spare moment to do it, I've been thinking about making a web app to lay these out automatically. Oh for more free time!

ryanmart11 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just wondering how you got the suit symbols and such? I figured out how to edit the fields but I'm a Photoshop noob and can't spot the suits/flip symbols. Cheers for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veskit Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's a separate font for the suits: http://malifaux.nezumi.me.uk/Downloads/Malifaux-Rodent-Edition.ttf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramoro Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I don't suppose you know the name for the Font used for model names etc do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 From memory, it's either called blood crow, bleeding cowboy, or 28 days later (I think it's the last one). Those three are faction fonts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparksman Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 There's a fonts discussion thread over here which may be of use: http://wyrd-games.net/community/topic/62347-the-malifaux-font/ Fonts available here: http://malifaux.nezumi.me.uk/Inked God = Guild Ringbearer = Arcanists Blood Crow = Ressurectionists (additionally, I've also seen Replay used in places) Bleeding Cowboys = Neverborn 28 Days Later = Outcasts Mandarin = Ten Thunders Gremlins = ? Puppets = Radar.One Malifaux = Malifaux Rodent edition (R - rams; C - crows; M - masks; T - tomes; r - ranged; c - close combat (melee); b - blast; a - aura; p - pulse; + positive twist; - negative twist) Body text is Calibri Addi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
