Maelstrom Release

This release continues to improve on core templates, reduces and improves the Proxyshop font list, reduces execution time, expands useful startup checks, fixes text formatting inconsistences across all templates, and squashes a ton of bugs!

New Templates: Saga and Class REDUX

The Saga and Class templates have been completely redone using crisp and beautiful vector layers, with Universes Beyond versions as an added bonus — and all from the same PSD file! More free space! Not to mention the new Saga template supports both front and back face Transform Sagas! These puppies are beautiful, give them a spin.

Replacing and Reducing Fonts

With this new release we removed problematic fonts that were outdated, some of which were replaced with a better alternative.

  • Relay-Medium is gone! It was quietly replaced with Gotham-Medium some time ago, but now the transition is complete.
  • Beleren-Bold, Beleren2016-Bold and JaceBeleren have all been replaced by one Beleren font to rule them all: BelerenProxy-Bold! Make sure to install it. You can uninstall the old ones if you wish. This font takes the best parts of all 3 and combines them, enforcing the beautiful P/T star across all our templates now, for example.
  • NDPMTG has sadly been replaced by a new separately maintained font Proxyglyph! This comes with several new symbols supported, with even more to come! Additionally, custom creators will be able to take advantage of several different symbol libraries within this same font, more on this in the near future. Don't forget to install it! Proxyshop won't work without it.
  • MagicSymbols2020 has been removed, the only symbols we used from this font were rolled into Proxyglyph.

Old Friends, New Capabilities

Some of our existing templates have received new features! The Classic Template now has an optional Extended Art mode, the Leveler template can now automatically size and position each level text. All Planeswalker templates now format and position their text MUCH faster than before. My personal favorite new addition is the overhauls added to the fan favorite Borderless Template! The colors and opacity have been reworked, and a ton of new settings were introduced. New settings include a color limit modifier for blending even more than 2 colors on the frame, an artifact color mode governing which elements are colored on colored artifacts, a dark/light color toggle for lands, a dark/light color toggle for front face Transform/MDFC cards, a color treatment toggle for Hybrid cards, a toggle for disabling text drop shadow, and piecemeal toggles governing which elements get colored for multicolor cards. Check it out!

Performance Enhancements

Improving on the changes made last version, text formatting and positioning have received even more cuts to execution time. Text scaling will also now perform faster and will be much more accurate. Formatting of text will have fewer inconsistencies or other formatting errors. The dreaded mana symbol spacing issue has been fixed!

Custom Template Features

One of the biggest under the hood improvements is the introduction of Template Modifier Classes. These classes add piecemeal functionality to your templates, allowing a template to quickly integrate transform functionality, or MDFC functionality, or anything under the sun! If you wanna start creating super dynamic templates that support a lot of card types, these are the way to work that functionality in quickly and by the book!

PSD Updates

Outside the code, every template across the board has received small improvements, mainly focusing on text. Nearly every rules text layer has been rebuilt from scratch using best practices, text formatting on cards has never been better, smoother, crisper, you get the picture. Document sizes have been trimmed to the bone while preserving all the functionality you expect. You'll need to update just about every template, but gosh darn is it worth it!

That's the big picture stuff, feel free to check out the full changelog below. If you enjoy the app, please consider becoming a Patron so you can help fuel future app development 😀
