baseball card mod??
 

Come on...I know someone wants to figure out how to make a baseball card template that looks like the HOF plaque.

:p

the picture would still just be the face, I don't think anyone will be able to "Bronze" the player...

Also, below the face on the plaque, you wouldn't be able to have a player description..

Yep...which would be fine with me. just having the bronze plaque in lieu of a card...fill in the standard picture, insert name on the bottom...plaque with stats for the "back". Would just look cool for HOF inductees

Here's what I have come up with so far.. Still working on it.. but It's definitely doable.. What stats do you want shown? all or just the main stats?

Does anyone know how to get the player's position to show?

I've tried using [%playerposition] but that isn't working.. I guess I have to look further..

I don't think it's programmed to work quite yet.

Oh hot diggity! that looks awesome.
Not sure how all stats would look...ya know...too much of a good thing. Not sure how jumbled it'll look. but worth a shot.

Does anyone know what stats we can put on the cards?

I tried creating another template based on the 2010 Topps set... tried adding more stats but they don't show...

I can't answer your question, but the front of the Topps card looks great!

Any chance you would be willing to share the template image and associated xml file?

I fixed the stats locations..
of course, the bb_hof.png goes in the bb_cards/templates/images folder and the xml file goes in the bb_cards/templates folder..

awesome stuff. thank you!

Wow!! That is awesome!!

If only there was away to bronze the photo and logos.

This one is pretty sweet too.

I just tried the template the the player photo isn't showing. Not sure if it has to do with the fact that the image you attached was jpg, thus removing the transparency?? could you upload a png formatted template? thx

It is a .png.. just make sure when you save it, from my post, change the file type to .png...

hmm. ok. confirmed it's png...but still no picture. odd. I'll play around with it. thanks!

I'm having the same problem. There was no transparency however. I took the image into photoshop, copy and pasted the plaque image into another window with a transparency and saved as a .png. I tried to use that image and the window is still white. So I'm not sure. I'm new to the game so I don't quite have the grasp on how the graphics work in order to mod them.
I would love to somehow mod the BNN logos and pages and turn them into a MLB Network design instead.

I had the same problem when I downloaded that graphic from my post..

The file size limit is 100KB and this file is 137KB.. so, it is automatically getting converted to JPG..

I will set this up to allow it to be downloaded but probably not till after I get some sleep..

thanks!

There must be a code and it's not being spelled out correctly. I tried a couple of logical possibilities, but no luck. I'd like to put the position in the bottom right of this card I made (Topps 1970)
