Strange Eons question

By Drakkkan, in Talisman Home Brews

Hi all,

I am not sure if it is possible, but how could I add my own expansion symbol for cards made in Strange Eons ? I know this function is aviable for Arkham, but not for Talisman Cards, where is possible to choose only original Expansion symbols. Is there any plugin to enable this, or some trick to do that ?

Thanks

Hi,

the best way seemed to rename the Talisman4R.seext into Talisman4R.zip (it's in the strange-eons-plugins directory!)

Then unzip the files, change one of the icons, rezip and rename the file to .seext.

I have not tried it yet, but it may work!

I've looked at adding something called "My Icon" to the Talisman plug-in, but have not found an elegant solution as yet. It is on my list of "Things to do".

done, check you email ;)

Also if I could have a request, is there a way how to add additional Starting places for characters ? There is just 8 of it I am missing for example Ruins, Hills, etc. thanks

I've got it thanks. I will let you know how my pondering goes!

If you are using the current version of the plug-in you should be able to just type the name of the space as you wish.

Just a small update to this thread to say that "myIcon" appears to be working for the most part.

I have made a seext file which contains a question mark as the "My Expansion" default icon set.

All you have to do is rename the file to a zip, unzip it, replace the two images with your chosen ones and rezip and rename to a seext file. I think most people who are interested in "branding" an expansion will know what to do...

If you do not have the file you get a big red X error, but it is not fatal.

Also, I have moved away from the non-standard white and gold bordered icons and gone back to plain black or white, except for the Highland which only has a black option.

I have done this because not only are they non-standard, but they are not really necessary (Reaper and Dungeon did not have any Endings for instance) and the only real need for an icon other than "My Icon" will be for the "Required Icon" option should you make a card that depends on other things being in play.

I guess I only wanted to include them for the sake of completeness.

The update will be made available shortly after the general release of The Sacred Pool and will feature Stables cards and Quest Rewards as well as JC's Mini Ending cards.

More later...

Whoa! Jon's busy again. I actually loaded up SE on the Mac to follow along and help with some reviewing for two other brewers. Looking forward to seeing what the update does in action.
