So I've been trying to get MSE to build from source on my box. Since that means I'm building on Mac OS with clang (rather than GCC/VS) this has been a bit exciting... but I just managed to get it linking. Whee!
Unfortunately it doesn't actually work just yet, due to some issues with finding and/or opening and/or parsing the config and locale files. The least-error-ful outcome I've managed is some sort of infinite loop where it gets directory information for en.mse-locale/, eventually either running out of memory or file descriptors; I'm not sure what's going on there. Grrr.
So I've been at this quite a while, I'm trying to make a planeswalker card, the first ability fits in fine, even when I change it to a longer ability, but 1. The second ability will stretch widely vertically like
this and it is very annoying.
2. There appears to be no differentiation between the second line and the third line, so I cannot make a third ability. Any help would be appreciated. This issue has occurred regardless of WHICH Planeswalker template I use.

Hmm... I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about, but I shall try to help.
1.) Planeswalkers, referring to both the real cards and all MSE planeswalker templates, have this property that causes the abilities to separate into paragraphs of roughly the same height. In MSE, they are exactly the same height, although they may vary slightly on real cards. And so, the template will automatically spread the text out into paragraphs. That behavior you're seeing is intentional, and the only way to get authentic looking planeswalkers in an MSE template.
2.) Not sure what's going on here at all. All I can think to say is to remember that when you want to move onto the next ability, don't hit the down arrow, hit the enter button to start a new paragraph.
Note that in templates from before M15, planeswalkers came in three ability and four ability versions, and the templates could only have a specific number of abilities. After M15, three and four ability versions are built into the same template.
EDIT: I think I fixed it, just needed to install updates and move the install to the D drive because C has new and unhelpful security in Windows 8.

Hey, I'm using MSE on a 32bit windows 8 pc. When I try to start a new set using M15 style the card frame doesn't appear, so the entire left side of the program is blank.
I've attached my console info to the post.
Hello all. My friend and I are building a Split Card Cube. He is trying to use Magic Card Editor as the repository for all of that work. Our issue right now is I want the full card image on each half and the Split card Template only allows for you to put the art portion of the card into the set. This is going to prove almost impossible to do with split-split card where half of the card is a split card itself. Does anyone know of a MSE template for split cards that would basically allow us to input a full card image on each half?
Is there some tutorial out there for building the MSE-Installer file for custom templates? I got the watermarks for each clan and dragon brood of Khans of Tarkir block to work with the other watermarks, but to make the Mardu/Kolaghan watermarks look like they do in real life, I have to increase the width of the watermark space, so I figured I'd just make a template identical to the M15 one with the modified watermark width. I just have no idea how to distribute it with the MSE-Installer extension.

2. Add in an extra newline character, essentially add a blank line at the bottom of the rules text. It will make the text smaller but at least it wont go behind the P/T box.
3. See if there is a way to refine the wording of the rules text so as to save enough space that you avoid the P/T box and rules text collision.
Perhaps you have already thought of these ideas but if not they might help or inspire another idea that will solve your problem.
Ummm, I was wondering, since sourceforge won't really work very well for me right now can anybody point me to the templates? I especially need the extended colors. I have seen it labeled as magic-new-extra installer, I believe created by an individual named pichoro. It adds amongst other things 5 new colors. if anybody could help I would appreciate it alot.

First, is there a way to do the new bullet style templating with the software, as well as, the em-dash such as with Ojutai Exemplars
Second, I'm also getting some of these errors. There are some templates it won't let me select. Been through the deleting and reinstalling more times that I care to admit Would someone who has it all going on correctly be willing to meet with me on skype and talk through the issue(s) as we share my screen?
How do I make my custom set symbol show up in the correct color when I select the rarity? It always seems to be black & white. Some of the rarities show up inverted (what's black is white and vice versa), but the black/silver/gold/red colors of traditional rarity symbols don't show up for me. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: Weird, it must have just been a bug. I deleted my custom set symbol and created it fresh and this time the colors worked.
Hello all,
I recently got a new computer and I'm using MSE in Windows 8 for the first time. I've noticed that the font (not Beleren) that appears in the text boxes of the cards is different from the font found on physical cards. The font is right on the Windows 7 version, but not on windows 8. Am I missing that font? If so where can I find it? Thanks.

Disable automatic updates in Edit -> Preferences. There's an error on start that comes from the update server no longer existing.

But hey! It built! That's good, right?
How do I fix this?
Also, where do I get the 2014 version? All I can find is the 2011 version.

Art is life itself.

Notice the color gradient going from Red to Green behind the rules text.
Versus this:
I would like to get the two tone color gradient without having to add the T: Add R or G to your mana pool ability.
1. Check if there is a different template that might suit your card better. For example the Library of congress template here:
http://msetemps.sourceforge.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=144&sid=ead2ecd45f30a17f7cd6b6f9c881af2c&start=30#p686

Same problem here, and I haven't found anything to fix it.
