It's probably best to post no more than 10 at a time, so we can bring up any major issues before looking through the rest.

Okay. In that case could you review my [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/229523-behold-the-flame-barrier-reps-for-good-comments-and-card-contributions-d/"]"Flame Barrier" cards[/url] plz? They've only had so many reviews, but it would kinda help before I post anything up.

Alright, I guess that's simple enough.

[Tempest of Reach]

[color="#4169e1"] Does the card have to be an actuacl card, or can it be a written card? As several off the cards I have are written. [/color]

[-Griffin]

Okay, this will be impossible to organize at this rate, so I'm going to ask for some co-operation.
Can everyone submitting cards please prepare the following. You don't have to do it straight away, or keep posting it, but it would be appreciated if it was done before the set was 'complete', since it will be annoying to implement otherwise.

[b]1 - YVD format of your cards.[/b]
Please include your cards in YVD format with set-name "SET0" (so I can mass-change this easily later) and nothing in the set-number space, not even a 0. Also, please include it in 5 'blocks' separated by at least 2 line-breaks. Effect Monsters, Fusion/Synchro/Exceed/Rituals, Spells, Traps, then Cover Card. If you have no cards in one of these blocks, it's not an issue.

[b]2 - Wiki-table format for your cards.[/b]
For the wiki, please include your cards in the following format:
| <<image cardname1.gif>> |[[CARDNAME1]] |
| <<image cardname1.gif>> |[[CARDNAME2]] |
| <<image cardname1.gif>> |[[CARDNAME3]] |
The spaces, angled brackets, and square brackets included. Separate these into the same blocks as the YVD format cards.
The 'cardname.gif' part should be the exact name of the 40x40 .gif format image that will be uploaded to the wiki later. No spaces, but should otherwise be the exact name of your card.

[b]3 - Image file[/b]
Please provide a .zip file with a 40x40 gif image for each of your cards. It must be named with the same name in the YVD format, but without any spaces.

Oh, and bearing the image-size of #3 in mind, don't worry about image quality. Just a general note. The cover card submissions, however, must be of a reasonable quality. There is no strict requirement, but because a cover card is an aesthetic feature, image size/quality is a fair criteria for judgement.

[.Nu-13]

Obv can be a written, but provide a pic sooner or later

Well, I'm assuming something with a picture so it can be rendered and placed on a booster pack. Probably requested from a shop in the Graphics section or something.

For creating cards in YVD: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/130514-yangninjas-yvd-card-studio-v10-added-image-converter/

It's a Written Cards Sticky~

[.Rai]

Griffin, you've just confused me now. Providing a .zip file? Surely just posting the 40x40 image is enough. And I made them all .png not .gif. Otherwise, we'd have to post a new .zip file every time we post a card. [img]http://public.yugiohcardmaker.net/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif[/img]

I'll do some stuff though. I'll quickly sort all cards so far with images and resize all of the pictures into .gif images (40x40).

[-Griffin]

Like I said, you don't have to post any of those things until the set is done.

But you do have to post them when the set is done.

YVD also requires .gif images... so I'm afraid that really does need changes.

Posting the images is 'technically' enough in the same way that posting a full size card with the image on it is enough. It requires work to get it into the right name/format, and to save it to the right place. When there's 500 images, that will really be quite a task, so I'm asking everyone to help out a bit

[.Rai]

Concerning Set Number, 0 comes up as default so I'm guessing a little editing there or shall we keep it as normal.

[-Griffin]

I'd prefer it if you removed it, but it's not a massive issue.
Using the cards I've made so far, I've made a sample-FINAL post. When we feel we've got enough cards, each contributor will be asked to make a post like the following containing all their cards. If you plan of submitting a lot over the course of the set, getting started on this format would be a good idea, but is not required this early.

I suggest people remember the post number of the so-called final posts but post them early, that way, you can update regularly and you and Kolwaski will know what to keep.

Only two cards, but I'll add more soon enough. Also, I only understood 2 or 3 things that Griffin said, so forgive me if I forgot something or posted something I shouldn't have posted. I also don't know how I should make my pictures smaller.

[spoiler=EDIT]
| |[[Realm of Neptune]] |

| |[[Lord Neptune]] |[/spoiler]

[-Griffin]

To make the pictures smaller, just open them in GIMP, crop them to make sure they're square, then scale image to 40x40 and save as a .gif with the correct name. You don't need to worry about perfect format though, just make sure the post conforms to my 'SAMPLE POST' above when you make your final submission.

@CR: I get what you're saying, but personally feel they should all be re-posted at the end so that people see what they're putting in and get a moment to reconsider each.

[Cody Frost]

Then how do you make them into .zip files and upload them so that you'd be able to get them?

I was able to make the pictures close to 40x40, but not exactly. They're roughly like 41x42 or 39x41, stuff like that.

[-Griffin]

They need to be exactly 40x40.

How to get the images right: (do not bother giving me the .zip unless it has every image, correctly named, that you'll use for the entire set)

1) Open the image you want in GIMP
2) Select the Crop tool and use it to make sure the image is a perfect square.
3) Under the '[u]I[/u]mage' menu, select '[u]S[/u]cale Image'
4) Set the size to 40x40 pixels
5) Save the image as a .gif file. The name of the file before the .gif extension should be the name of your card, without spaces.
6) Add the file to a .zip file that you will upload when everything is done. To create a .zip file, right click in a folder then highlight 'new' then click 'new zip file' (or something like that). - this is using a windows system, may differ for other OS systems.

[Aesirson]

Me being a noob doesn't know how to .zip.

[-Griffin]

6) Add the file to a .zip file that you will upload when everything is done. [b]To create a .zip file, right click in a folder then highlight 'new' then click 'new zip file' (or something like that). - this is using a windows system, may differ for other OS systems. [/b]

Do not right click a file in a folder, just the blank space below files. That really ought to be enough.

[Aesirson]

*facepalm*

Oh well, gonna create some more WATER stuff and stalk for pictures then.

[.Rai]

For Mac OS X users, select the items you wish to place in a .zip file and right-click. One of the options should be "Compress # Items". a .zip file containing those files will be created (Note: the selected items are not merged but simply used as information to be copied into the file).
