Text editing and Minor Additions

[king_of_games95]

Hey, I've been a member for…two years (pretty long time, haven't been really counting) and I'm kinda new to adding forum discussions. I was wondering—if at all possible—if bullet points will be saved when making cards? I have a few cards that I wanted to make and they involve bullet points in their text.

 

 

Also, on the Card Making. It has come to my attention that the OCG/TCG had upped card texts to make them more understandable and such. Their Types have been altered, like:

 

“[.../Tuner]" → "[.../Tuner/Effect]

"[.../Gemini]" → "[.../Gemini/Effect]"

Flip Effect Monsters: "[.../Effect]" → "[.../Flip/Effect]"

"[.../Union]" → "[.../Union/Effect]"

 

I wanted to know if changes like these would also be added, to keep consistency.

 

 

Well,…that's pretty much what's on my mind…

Sakura Haruno has given the simplest approach. This however won't work for Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Monsters; that is because the order will become something like: "Warrior / Tuner / Synchro / Effect", where it should be "Warrior / Synchro / Tuner / Effect". If you wish to acchieve the later, I would suggest to take a look at this (old) topic. If you want to type spaces, you should replace them with plusses (+); don't ask me what is the logic behind that.

 

About bulleted effects, the bullet character is persumably saved in the database; it is a sequence of bits just like any other character. However the font used for effect monsters does not seem to have a glyph mapped to its character code. As a result, the character is not drawn. In order to have them show up, you will need to manually edit them using a program like Photoshop or GIMP (here you can find a a template). Otherwise use an 'unusual' character like: @, #, %.

Except for Normal Monsters, bullet points won't show up on cards.

Why that's so, I really don't know; probably some programming thing.

 

As for the subtypes, you can add them yourself; no need for the cardmaker to be changed.

Just put / Subtype afterwards.

 

In the case of Shaddoll Falco, just put / subtype1 / subtype2.

Much easier than having YCMaker code the generator so it works that way.

 

Also note that YCMaker is essentially dead in terms of activity.
