1989 Donruss WIP - Question about randomizing card templates
 

I'm working on 1989 Donruss. The results look pretty good so far, I think.

I'm working on a Diamond Kings set for All-Stars and award winners also. The question I have is this:

I currently have four color variations, and may add one or two more. But how do I make them appear randomly in the xml? Is there a tag you can use to make it do that? I can't seem to figure out how. To make these, I just changed the template being used from 89_Donruss_1.png to 89_Donruss_2.png and so forth. Can any of you more experienced card makers help me out here?

EDIT: I had to post the file somewhere other than here, since it was too big. Here's the link: https://app.box.com/s/ouk1cuap2p9kq4m2tlau Enjoy!

The cards look very good.

For this case the [%RANDOM_NUMBER] token would probably work the best, ie. 89_Donruss_[%RANDOM_NUMBER].png. You would need to make duplicates of a couple of the images to get 10 of them and assign them the numbers 0 thru 9.

Okay, cool. I'll probably just add one more template color, then, and have a duplicate of each. Thanks!

If all goes well, I'll post the zip file some time this weekend.

The file exceeds the limit of what I can post here. Anybody have a workaround? It's ready to go otherwise.

Here's the Diamond Kings. I hope Klavier won't mind that I recycled his 1988 Donruss DK backgrounds for these. I used them for All-Stars, MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year. The .xml can easily be changed if your league has different names for its awards.

I had to post the file on mega, since it was too big to post here. Here's the link. I hope you guys can use it, since I don't know much about that site. If you want it, you might want to be quick about it, since I think it only lasts for a month or two.

And another link, in case the other one doesn't work for you:

Are these working at all? Has anybody tried them yet?

The Box one worked fine for me but the Mega one didn't.

Okay, that's what I was getting when I signed out of Mega. Looks like justafan made a good call over in the other thread by suggesting I use Box.
