Making your own power cards

[Surina]

Sorry for the error. Lord Tirian made a corrective version on the UCS development forum. You can download it here : Ander00-UCS3.rar



I'm suprised by this error. What version of UCS and what version of the template do you have ?

I'm using the latest downloads from the website. Beta3 for cards and the templates for Beta3.

I do have one other question...the cards for Ander's do not show the nifty boxes on the side for all the to hit, damage, etc... What happened to those? I just grabbed the corrective version so now I can use them again.

The Manual of the Planes Power Cards

Hi everyone I'm back again with some new stuff. The Manual of the Planes to exact. I think I went a bit crazy; you see at first I just did the Paragon Paths and Items but then I thought, 'Hey I may as well go through the whole book' so the result also has all the monsters, hazards, summaries of the planes and so on.

UCS Beta 3.1 Update

Just wanted to update everyone here on ENWorld about the UCS project. Currently, we're on Beta 3.1 of the project.

We have 5 designers who all have at least 1 template on this version with a few more expressing interest.

We've caught up and surpassed most card set's out there in that we've entered in the PHB, DMG, MM, FRPG, FRCG, AV, MP, MotP, Dragonomicon, Dragons #364-371, some of the Dungeons, most of the modules, and even some work here at ENWorld.

Our next two steps are the creation of Monster cards and we expect those within the next few weeks, and the creation of a DnDI Character Builder card creator that allows you to take the saved character file of the Character Builder and turn it into a series of customized (and filled out) Power Cards in whatever set is your favorite.

Drop on by over at toosigma (link is in my sig) if you're interested. We'd love to hear your opinions and / or advice.

A couple more UCS updates:

• The UCS Complete Set was just updated - now with 5116 (!) cards (though there are a couple duplicates).
• If you'd rather deal with a smaller set - you can download all the cards from a single source at the Card Editors page. We're also working on getting content based sets built (Magic Items, Class-based, Races, Traps, Rituals, etc.)
• All of the current templates have been fixed - the correct download links are on the Downloads Page

@Surina - The nifty boxes on the side are hidden by default. You can create them by choosing the template, returning to the Cards view, and then clicking on one of the dotted outline boxes on the side - type in some text for whatever you want the box to contain, and voila! the box appears. This "feature" is available on several (all?) of the other templates as well.

@Bayeur - I've just done a wipe/reinstall of the whole MSE/UCS stack. With MSE 0.3.8 and the latest links from the Downloads page, everything is working as advertised. If it still doesn't work - you might try deleting the template folders from your MSE data directory so you don't have any legacy files from older editions causing problems.

@catsclaw227 - the reason we don't have a "Race/Class Level" field is that it's actually separate bits of data. It would be ideal if MSE had multi-column sorting, but I agree that being able to sort by both values (instead of just either/or - as is currently availabe) could be useful. We'll see if we can work it in - in the meantime, you can always create a custom set by deleting all the powers you don't want (say, everything but the Ranger powers) and then sort the resulting set by a variety of criteria.

@anyone - if you have access to decent hosting, anyone is more than welcome to create some PDF versions of whatever UCS content they want. We realize not everyone wants to deal with installing a new program, and PDF versions are a great way to get more cards into more people's hands.

I'm still making PDFs but ran in to a memory issue. (I run out with a full swap file but can't change the swap file due to the file system. I'll be correcting over the weekend.)

I'm trying to figure out exactly which files to download to make them show up in my MSE program.... I got some of the older ones working, but the new ones keep saying they're missing a file. The Ander00 versions are my favorite... which files do I need to download to get them to all appear?


Thanks
Chris

Try the Getting Started page. You'll need to download three separate files - the UCS, the Ander00 Template, and any of the Card Sets (e.g. UCS Complete.

Let us know if the instructions are unclear or difficult, along with any suggestions you have on improving them!

Hirahito, I had one request...your cards are AMAZING, but can you add boxes for Damage and Stat vs. Stat?

Thanks again so much!!!

Thanks for the support!

First, let me open by saying, since I've been doing a lot of UCS work, this template is nothing but a Beta. Yes, there are quite a few things missing on it.

I've been playing with it some and have both cleaned up the look as well as thrown back in the optional boxes on the cards again with the Beta 3.2 release which should be coming out in the next few days.

This release will allow you to enter in text in the boxes, but it will NOT have any of that data there to begin with.

However, when Beta 3.3 gets released, I'm hoping to have the DnDI Character Editor convertor program working. This little beasty is something I've been cooking up in the back labs - it will take a character saved in the DnDI Character Editor and make a new MSE set for you that includes all of the cards applicable to your character in the style you choose.

Unfortunately, the Beta 3.3 still won't fill those boxes in on the first pass. That'll take a bit more work on my part - I'm hoping to have that ability in the near future.

Suffice it to say that I'm working towards cards that are auto filled in based on your character. (Because I'm inherently lazy and I hate it when I miss a rule that could have given me an extra +1 to hit or a +3 to damage)
