    Default Help EoFF out! Come up with a Triple Triad template...

    So we want to set up a Triple Triad template that allows for us admins to easily create new Triple Triad sets. We're looking for a template that is different to the default TT layout because we want it to work with EoFFer avatars (amongst other things). Essentially, we're looking to create an EoFF Triple Triad set made up of EoFF avatars and other such EoFF-related images.

    This means we're looking for something that will allow for the border and numbers to switch between red and blue (instead of the background of the image). Can you help with this? If so, let us know!

    Ideally the template will work with Adobe Photoshop as that's what I have!

    I don't remember any being made that didn't rely on the background changing colour, and in some cases there won't be a background to work with (unless you're also willing to edit in transparent areas to hundreds of images).

    Nothing is good enough for BoB, Rantz.

    People change their avatars, though. Use their pictures (most of us know what each other looks like) in the art style of the regular TT cards, imho.

    Only losers aren't identifiable by certain images. If you don't have an image that can represent you, you probably aren't famous enough here for a card.

    Fair enough. But I'm still not sure if avatars are the best way to go. But, an image that people can define you with, yes.

    Always with the hyperboles. But sure, I'll give hundreds of images transparent backgrounds once we figure out what these hundreds of images actually are. Jiro and I have said hundreds of times, the card template is the easy part.

    And has been mentioned back we'd like to have the option of using avatars as well as transparency pics so we need two templates. Stick to the script!

    GB knows the score. Can't see some of the images being posted at work, but not all of them will work so easily when you throw in some transparency. I want options. A simple solution would be to give them a dark blue/red border/numbers, so that way it doesn't matter if they do or don't have the normal hazed background.

    Not really a serious 'entry', and I was debating whether to post it because of that, but I figured what the hell. Might give people some ideas or some trout.

    The idea was to have 'glass' cards with the avatars and other stuff with a frosted look. Need to be on a darker background for it to show well.

    It actually looks kind of good with BoB's avatar, but when you try a darker avatar the frosted look turns to trout. XD And thus ruining any template possibilities.

    Again, not practical for a number of reasons but hopefully it will give people some ideas. :x
