1973 Topps Template

davwms · 07-16-2010, 11:14 PM

I started on this, but found out that I don't know how to make all the text upper case... I think it is neat that we can have different images to show the position instead of just text. Topps did this in 73 and again in '76, I believe..

Here's what I have so far, haven't started on the back of the card, yet. (and need to get it to show the player name and team name in upper-case.. )

...guess I wasn't the only one busy tonight.

These look great so far. I haven't figured out how to use uppercase or small caps either. The UD uses small caps (i.e all caps with big first letter) for the player name.

My xml isn't that great.

Nice!

micropterus58 · 07-17-2010, 01:48 PM

I don't know if this will work. I've only dabbled in XML a little. This is from an HTML/XML book I have.

text-transform property

<p style="text-transform:none">This text is completely normal.</p>

substitute lowercase, uppercase or capitalize (first character in a paragraph is a capital letter) for 'none'

Hey Dave, just wondering if you have made any progress on these?

davwms · 08-12-2010, 09:41 PM

Alrighty.. here's an update..

I still can't get the letters to be all caps, so I will ignore that for now, at least.
In the real card, the top portion would have a little fact or something about the player. I added in random baseball trivia, instead.
Not sure what to do with the bottom part, yet, but here are a few examples so far.

I like what you've done here looks really good.

udbacker58 · 08-13-2010, 07:29 PM

These look great Dave

The position icon is just so fantastic.

When will you be releasing these gems?

I've been trying to figure that out also to no avail.

Great job on these - classic set. The Freddie Patek from this set is one of my favorite cards. It is a landscape-oriented action shot of him turning a double play.

One question: Can you get the game to choose which position icon to use? Or do you have to manually change it?

davwms · 08-17-2010, 02:25 PM

I will be releasing the set soon..

To get the position to show correctly, I just have a graphic named as the short position name with .png.. and will select the correct one automatically.

For the trivia, I just have them as graphics naming them as 1 to 99 and have it chose whichever one is the same as the player's jersey number. If there isn't a specific one for that player's number, it just uses a default one instead.

Thanks for that tip. I was using stuff like Wins and Triples to generate a quasi-random number. For some reason it never occurred to me to use Uniform, which has a nice spread of possible numbers.

Yeah.. I saw what you were doing and that's how I thought to even use anything at all! :-) So the thanks all go to you!

I'm trying to send this to PadresFan right now but it's 13MB and my connection (satellite) is sucking horribly right now.. If it doesn't go through tonight I will try again tomorrow...

exitonly · 08-24-2010, 03:44 AM
