Jumping on the baseball card bandwagon...

English_Ray · 04-17-2010, 03:23 PM

Hey all, so like a whole load of you I'm loving the new baseball card feature, and Syt's awesome deadball era cards (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...all-cards.html) inspired me to do some custom ones for my own 1920s league:

Anyway, I just wanted to share - I know pretty much nothing about xml, but as it turns out, its pretty easy to edit! I'd love to see more examples of people's different takes on baseball cards. Post away...

(Oh, and OOTP11 rules!)

Thanks, Ray!!! Did you add the grain afterwards or will that show up automatically?

Can you post the template and the accompanying xml too?

Those look great. I guess you're using some non-transparent speckles over the picture area to create the grain?

Also, do I guess correctly, that you can set the picture size in the XML files? Because I think I may do over my cards and have a bigger picture area.

Yep, the grain is a not-quite transparent layer so it shows up automatically. You can change the picture size in the xml, yeah.
