If anyone's curious, or would like to help figure out the problem: 1) In order to make the number and types of colored backgrounds defined in the [B]style[/B] file, I had to define the background field using [B]extra card field[/B]. (I can only define normal [B]card fields[/B] in the [B]game[/B] file.) 2) Values in [B]card fields[/B] can be referenced as card.card_field_name, but values in [B]extra card fields[/B] cannot - at least, I haven't been able to figure out how. 3) Because I can't figure out how to reference the [B]extra card field[/B], I can't have a script determine the color of a font based on the value of that field.
