I can do better then that. that was just a idea.

Well try making one using my template, with a basic description of that person, plus a few guidelines I put on a few previous posts.

Member name is size 36 Black Chancery. (Colour depends on TR Rank, admins red, mods gold, and art village mods rich blue)
Description is size 10 Italic Times New Roman, centered. If you have room left, just use the transform tool to make it vertically larger, but not too much.

Make sure, for text quality, you change the type from none to sharp. (Found between the font size and alignment options)

A few tips:
* Make sure you save the transparency! (File --> Save For Web and Devices --> Save as 24 bit PNG, transparency box ticked) In order for this to work, your image must consist of 1 non background layer, made by selecting all layers and clicking merge layers. After that, you should have just 1 layer with a bit of transparentness on it.

* Deal in layers! Card base should be the top layer, your character pic should be the middle layer with the body/head showing through the hole, and the bottom layer should be that slightly lighter yellow that's in the background of the char portrait. Erase the bits sticking out of the side and merge layers.

After that, all you need to do is add the text as I described up last post, (no typos!), merge layers, save for web & devices and poof!

Who are "notable people" O.o I assume I'm not a notable person :P

by Caeel Sat Feb 27, 2010 11:15 am

Noteable people are people who are active. It's not like you have to be on the top 20 posting list or anything. But you would have to be pretty noteable.

To be honest, I'd really like to see this implemented into TR, but even if it doesn't, it's still a good thing to keep my photoshop skills active. But if it does become a proper thing, I'm gonna need a bit of help speeding things up.

I can help! c:

by Guest Sat Feb 27, 2010 2:09 pm

Next on my list are ~~Flaw~~, Juli, Kao, Ice, Rage, Winnie, Atriax, (Pyro), (Mash), and then other notable peeps - which is gonna take quiiiite a while.

Hooray! =D

I also made one for Hunter, in an attempt to repay him for being a true friend. <3

Aww thanks, you've been a good friend too......

@Weena: Yeah, thought you;d say something like that, XD. I can't do much in MS Paint, I had to cut him out in a square, then pixel in the backround. I hope I get photoshop soon... every cutout I make is pretty much a fail.

How about using the first upholder badge to replace the "first edition" text?

by **Thoru** Sun Feb 28, 2010 3:52 am

Anyone wanna make mine ;-;
I really need some skills but ahwell

by Valosity Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:04 am

@Nagi:
I think that it could be either removed, or just have the number changed. It would look a bit odd with a badge...

@Thoru:
I will try yours, that is, if you want rough edges, XD.

I will try one when Pyro I get photoshop.

by **Cial** Thu Mar 04, 2010 10:00 am

I think drwho had a good layout.

by Guest Thu Mar 04, 2010 11:27 am

To be honest, TR cards should be for collecting only. Incorportaing them into a card game will be just... hard.

by **Icey** Thu Mar 04, 2010 7:35 pm

Ya it would be too hard.

by Guest Fri Mar 05, 2010 2:56 am

I disagree with that statement Weena and Icewolf
I happen to have tried over the years to make different card games, all of which were cancelled due to my laziness and lack of art skills, with that in mind, I can provide some of the different versions if you want?

by Guest Fri Mar 05, 2010 12:47 pm

It just wouldn't fit. Cards should be just like zards - collecting only. First fo all you'd have to make them all and create a whole new card game, and after that you need to somehow find a way to play it. It just won't work.

by wwwtoy Fri Mar 05, 2010 1:14 pm

Sounds like a ton of work. Besides,dont we have enough things on our plates..?

by Caeel Fri Mar 05, 2010 10:35 pm

Cards could be for collecting only, but you would first need a place to store them, and a currency to get them. If we made it a card game you would need a flash person and other stuff. 2 sides to the story.

by Wixmagic Fri Mar 05, 2010 10:56 pm

What if you made them actually collectable, like have sets of them, say on each card in each different set there is part of a story. is it a good idea or not? :P

by Guest Sat Mar 06, 2010 3:58 am

Not really. To collect them, they just have to be implemented just like zards, except you can have more than one. Each card'll cost a certain amount of points, and you'll be able to trade them.

by Caeel Sat Mar 06, 2010 11:41 am

Trade? How? As said previously, how would you store them?

1) The cannot be a trade system implemented on Forumotion, in other words, Admin would have to go through everything when someone wanted to trade.

2) There is only so much space in our profiles, as it is, for the mods (and people with moderator power) the profiles are more cluttered than my grandparents house (and believe me, that is saying a lot). And I don't think V would want to have to make 50 different sections for different cards, then implementing images for each on (you have to enter 1 image at a time, the way we're going now, that would be over 500 images to put in individually).

So, in other words, making a separate flash thing that you could sign up for would be nice. Then from there, you would be able to update it with different features and ways to get cards, dueling, and more.

by Guest Sun Mar 07, 2010 12:47 pm

For 1, mods are able to do it also, and for some reason editing zards and Art Village ranks is in my ability at the mo.
Lolol, that's probably a hiccup from your ninja ARP edit powers.

For 2, you have a point, but trust me, I doubt anyone would bother making a flash card game thing.
