hello dear catan friends
I don't know if anyone still develops some sets, but i created a tool to easily create the textboxes.
I included al available textboxes(colors) and all symbols.
just enter text set atributtes, hit the copy button and paste it into your favorite image edit tool.

Hi Axe !

Somehow I've missed this topic up to now.
I just found it and tried the tool.

That's great work !!
It's so easy and perfect to use.

Thank you for your efforts that will make things easier for all developers!

Could you add Magic Power to the symbols? Because I work on some Magic units which have permanent magic power, that can be used once per turn.

I was the quest and I have another problem: The "&" is ignored by the program.

hello,
Added magic power is no problem
Should it be in the same place as the 'kopf' ?
Which size (pxls) should it be?

btw to get a & you should indeed use &&, since the & is a special characters in the programming language i created it with.

Another reminder. Creating negative values for example for strenhgth can be done by just added -2 as the value.

Any more comments are (ofcorze) welcome)

Hi Axe,

a variabel place for the magic power would be the best to combine it with strength or tournament points. The size should be the same as in the normal magic cards.
When i use negativ values for strength points only a part of the numeral can be seen. With tournament points it is ok.

High Axe,

I have just tested the tool and I have some questions and suggestions for improvement. First of all, I find it very helpful and I aknowledge you for doing it.

My set is just in the project phase, so I am sure of changing some texts later. A saving button would avoid writing the whole text for each card again.
The textbox is exported as an image. Ist it possible to enhance the image porperties? For example to double the Pixelsize and get a better resolution
It isn't a big step to include an image above the textbox and to get a tool for constructing a whole card, is it?
On klicking on "Voorwarde" one gets the possibility of writing a new line, but the 4th line is overwritten. What is the purpose of it?
On the original cards the top of the textbox is saying, which kind of card it is, e.g. "Ereignis". There isn't this possible with the tool. Anyway, this has no significance, since anyone recognize the type of the card by the color of it.
Finally, I don't know many other sets and would like to know, what the symbols on the right side mean. It would be nice to be able to also use other symbols instead.

Thanks a lot again and get best regards from Munich
