About this mod

Edited cards (from the 151 S&V set) to fit with the game's border system. Edited the game's borders, and other textures, to fix errors like imperfect shapes or rough/jagged corners.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
NEW:

Use Card Expansion Mod v1.6.5, cause
1.7 is broken at the moment.

Now works with Pokemod with a compatibility patch. In miscellaneous files (read installation steps).

Compatible with Pokemon Overhaul. Install AFTER installing Pokemon Overhaul and replace everything.



drawshan's Pokemon mod - Cards

1 Edited all cards from the 151 S&V set to fit with the game's borders.

2 Edited the game's borders, and other textures, to fix errors like imperfect shapes or rough/jagged corners.

3 Organized the pokemons in a way that their evolution and power (rarity) corresponds with the pack's rarity (as the game intended).

4 All pokemon have their correct names displayed when inspecting the card.

There's another version of this mod that does the same but adds a sleeve effect to every card.
Both are standalone - don't need the other.
Other version: drawshan's Pokemon mod - Cards (sleeves version)

NOTES:


1 This mod replaces cards textures, and modifies config files
(from More Card Expansions), ONLY FOR Tetramon, Destiny and Ghost categories; it doesn't touch nor add to any other new expansion (CatJob, Megabot, etc.). It also doesn't add nor modify other immersive elements like plushies, shop items retextures, music, etc. So if you want to have those elements as well, you need to get them from another mod. Just make sure you know what you're doing / check the folders to know what this mod replaces. (This mod is very modular, it changes very few specific folders, so it shouldn't be too difficult to mix with others).


DETAILS:


New look of 6 card types


Cards new look




All ghost cards





MORE DETAILS:

I was editing images to try to make the game more immersive as a pokemon sim. Little visual errors, like having to shrink a card inside another card, bothered me a bit, and covering the game's borders with a full image made it feel like taking out a feature. I chose the S&V 151 set because I find it very nice visually, and also like the more modern art, style and silver borders of the newer sets. I wanted to add all 151 but had to leave 30 out due to game limit.

1 I went trough every card from the set and erased their borders, then made them align with the game's own borders through More Card Expansions mod.

  • Added shadows to the edges of every borderless image so that it looks better when fused with the game's borders
  • Put some image elements above transparency so that they are seen above the game's borders. (Evo stage, pre evo image, etc.)

2 Added ghost cards. They are simple and look like posters but also display names and stats.

3 Edited some game's textures to fit with my mod, or to fix errors like rough/jagged corners.

  • All the border types. Improved Basic and 1st edition cause their corners were jagged. Changed Silver to classic silver, and Gold to classic yellow. For EX I attempted to make it look good following the game's original but failed. Ended up changing it to semi black with semi white thin border.
  • Ghost cards background image. Only made full semi white or semi black for a cleaner look. Ghosts cover almost the entire card so it doesn't matter a lot
  • All the tetramon types (4) backgrounds that show with full art cards. The 4 color system doesn't fit with pokemon, so I changed them all to a single one.
  • When using a full image (or in this case borderless full) instead of images without background for the mons, the full art version is just the same. In my mod it shows the border section of the image behind, but it doesn't look good and has elements that show and can't be hidden; so I changed it to be the same image that full art destiny cards show, but with a different hue. So now full art cards show as a new border type with only 2 recolors depending on the deck you have active (tetra/destiny). I also retouched that image cause it was low res and had artifacts.

4 Edited More Card Expansions mod configs.

  • Played with numbers until the images of tetramon, destiny and ghosts fit perfectly (no uneven borders) inside the game's borders.
  • Added names of all pokemon from my mod so that they show correctly when inspecting a card.

5 Probably forgetting other things I did. I intend to continue modifying and adding things that aren't just cards to this project, but if I upload them it will be in another entry so all the parts remain modular.
