1978 and 1964 Topps cards

klavier · 05-22-2013, 10:18 PM

1978 - wish I could've made the team name on the front bigger, file attached below.

Hope to have the 1964 Topps finished tomorrow.

It's been awhile since I've been working on these... how do you get the player to appear in front of the border but the background not to? I recall there being some "new" attributes to define the facegen creation on the card, but I can't find that info anymore.

'78 Topps is by far my favorite set. Thank you for this!

I hope you (or someone) finds a way to enlargen the team name on front though, it just doesn't look quite right this way.

In the player pic element use add_background="0" to get just the player pic. For the '64 I had to divide the card picture into 2 images, the top part covered by the player and the bottom part that covers the player.

Unfortunately, heightwise that is as large as the font can go right now.

1964 is finished. All-star and HoF text replace the team name on the front and the award card has the award type on the back.

I notice you use images for the al and Nl all star cards. What happens if it is a fictional league that has different names?

Looking at it now, doing the separate images for AL and NL wasn't necessary. All all-star cards will have the shield logo with the subleague's abbreviation, fictional sub-leagues not abbreviated AL or NL use the verabd/bold font. Since it works for now I'll leave it until I find something else to update on the card.

I decided that I had to install a bb card mod. My younger brother and I started to collect baseball cards in 1978...we had piles of them. So, naturally, I searched for a Topps '78 mod, and ended up here.

This made my day!

This set could be much better. I just don't have the skill to do it. Team name needs an update.

I tried to come up with something and this is what I've come up with.

What I did was use an XML from a set that was kind of similar and messed around with it to refine it to get this. It's not perfect, but it's close and I like it.

hope it works for you. Only the default cards. And only for the 20 teams from 1964.
