HPN Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 I Still have to properly try this, but it seems awesome! Any chance for a 20mm version? Or a selectable size one. I find 30mm for conditions markers to be a bit too invasive... Really thanks for this anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docent Turbine Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'll see what needs to be changed to have a selectable size, with options for 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oryxwild Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Maybe I'm just thick headed, but I don't really understand how to print this =o I don't have a printer at home; I generally use office depot. I don't know how to save it, since I don't think I can print it directly off of my computer there. Any tips? Fantastic tool, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Have you tried using Cute pdf writer (or similar) to convert it to a pdf? That usually works when you can print something but don't have save options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oryxwild Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I haven't. Is it even possible to do so? I can't save image as, or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I just made a sheet of markers in Chrome, hit print and then selected save as PDF on the print options. Worked grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docent Turbine Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Here is a trial version with the option to set marker size. 20mm seemed a bit small, so I added 25mm as well. Marker Generator v7 (for Firefox, Chrome and Opera) Marker Generator v7 (for Internet Explorer) Note that only one size is allowed on the sheet at a time. If anybody has an algorithm for placing/packing objects of various size that I can implement, please let me know ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docent Turbine Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 New trial version: Malifaux Marker Generator v8. This time I added the possibility to have different sized markers on the same sheet. The algorithm is quite basic, so for best results it's best to stick to similar sizes on each row. Also, I tweaked the colors a bit to get more similar to the faction colors on wyrd.com. Last, I fixed up the handling of zooming and positioning, so that an image with different zooming/positioning on a sheet is only included once in the .svg file. Any comments before I make this version the default? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik1978 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Something's a bit off with this version, almost all my pictures are either a bit below the space in the marker, or a bit to the side, so that there's a big white space above it or next to it. I just opened the older version and the same pictures fill out nicely. (Horizontal/vertical adjusting doesn't help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docent Turbine Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Which browser are you using? And is this version better: A slightly earlier version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have the same problem (I think) but not with that earlier version. Using Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik1978 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I also use chrome, and yes the version you link there is probably the one I used, works fine, unlike the newest one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docent Turbine Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Ok, I've renamed the slightly earlier version as Malifaux Marker Generator v8, and continue working on the last feature for the next version. Edit: I think I fixed the error you saw, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Could you try out the Malifaux Marker Generator v9 also? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Tried v9 there and it seems to work grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docent Turbine Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ok, I've added v9 as the default version, and updated the text in the first post somewhat. I'm pretty happy with how this version turned out :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 This is awesome! Shifting Loyalties markers, here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik1978 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Looks better now, though the colour in the ring doesn't fill out completely on my print, the very top of the ring, above the text, there is a (very) small white line, where the colour is missing. I just cut a bit farther in than the black line to get the white spot off but if everyone else has the same issue perhaps the colour ring needs to be tinkered with? My 20 mm markers have a bit blurry pictures but I assume it's the sixe that causes this, I must admit I haven't checked if it's also blurry with 30 mm, will check next time.

Erik1978 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Same picture in a 20 mm, same size, you just see less of it, which makes sense. But what doesn't is it's blurryness. Any thoughts on how to get around that? I like the 20 mm size for conditions etc. but I had hoped for same sharp images as I had with 30 mm. Actually, when I put in the same image as I made months ago, in a 30 mm again, less of the image is put in the marker but blurry. So the new version you have does something different to the images, blows them up a bit and loses focus because of it? New edit: Just opened (an older one?) which works for explorer, that didn't work with custom colours but the images were sharp! Half way there.

Erik1978 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Any chance you know what number yellow has, in that explorer colour system for custom colours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docent Turbine Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'll try to look into that blurriness. How many pixels does the picture you are using have?

Did you mean an older marker generator, or a saved .svg file? If, you are using Internet Explorer, is this version better Version 7 for IE ?

Do you mean numbers like this #bea940 (Outcasts) or this #d5742a (Ten Thunder)? I don't have Internet Explorer at home, so I would have to check it at work. Edit: I couldn't recreate the blurriness on 20mm markers, neither with IE nor with Firefox. Maybe you could send me the actual picture you are using by PM or email?

Docent Turbine Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Tip of the Day The current version of Firefox (44.0.2) is placing the Header & Footer text on top of the (top row of the) markers. A bug report have been sent on this behavior, but until it's fixed you can use the following method to remove the Header & Footer: Select Print from the menu instead of pressing Ctrl+P Click on the "Page Setup..." button Go to the "Margins & Header/Footer" tab of the Page Setup Window Select "--blank--" on all the Header & Footer drop down boxes Also, to ensure that the markers are printed the correct size, go to the "Format & Options" tab of the Page Setup Window, set Scale to 100% and check that the "Shrink to fit Page Width" option is NOT selected.

Erik1978 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Dont know about pixels, I can see it's a 21 KB picture but this same picture was sharp in an earlier version but blurry now. Tried with another picture as well. They were blurry in both 20 mm and 30 mm, and a different zoom. Very strange. Must be just my system then.

You are using Internet Explorer, right? Version 1 (IE) Version 3 (IE) Version 4 (IE) Version 5.1 (IE) Version 6 (IE) Version 7 (IE) Version 9.1 (IE) By the way, which version of Internet Explorer do you use? (Check "About Internet Explorer" on the menu). I'm using version 11.0.9600.18204. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
