As always, I’m out here working in the trenches to improve the repo.
I mentioned it earlier, but I’ll say it again: I’ve started working with Lex Talionis, and since the engine also happens to be cross-compatible with FEXNA(Tactile) the work I put into LT will also be useful in that direction.
Today, I reformatted every single map sprite and class card in the repo to work for LT. You won’t see the fruits of my labor for map sprites just yet, but class cards? Yeah, we got em.
Behold! Before and after!
Before:
After:
In case it isn’t clear: I went through and made every single class card (well, ALMOST every single class card) transparent. Even more importantly, I standardized all the class card to be 80x72 pixels in size.
This ordeal took me four hours. It was not easy. It was boring, and it was tedious. It made me realize that we have NO standard for class card submissions, and I’d like to change that as of right now.
Please submit all class cards as 80x72. Not 88x72 or 80x80 or some other crazy number, but 80x72. This is the size GBA accepts, and it’s the size LT/Tactile/other engines use too.
I first went through the repo and resized everything, then I did a second pass and made what was left transparent.
There were really only a few hiccups. Here’s where I ping @N426
These two Angel class cards you submitted use white as their BG. They also use white on the clothes. I can make them transparent, but it will take forever. I’d appreciate if you could make them transparent on your end and resubmit them.
Additionally, L95 had a horsey with a VERY long tail. I left the long-tailed version in the repo at 80x80, but also added a cropped version at 80x72 that cuts off a little bit of its long, fluffy tail.
So, yeah. The class cards have been totally overhauled. I love what I’ve seen! So many incredible submissions from the community! But, for the sake of Grandfather Klok not suffering carpal tunnel, please submit all future class cards as transparent 80x72 PNGs please.

Edit: My google is still syncing. It might take a bit for everything to update.
Edit2: Ah yes, now I remember why I hate google drive with a burning passion. Expect all these awesome class cards… later! When Google Drive finishes upload at .07KB/s.
Edit3: Done, all sync’d up!
