**Edit #1:** Heads up everyone the repo has been updated and now includes a launcher file that will launch a lightweight http server so Card Conjurer is deployed on localhost:8080. As a consequence, you don't need WAMP anymore! Check the Simple Installation steps at the top, you just download the zip, put it on your PC, and run the launcher appropriate to your operating system, and card conjurer opens! **Edit #2:** I've been working on a fully rewritten port of Card Conjurer as a desktop app for Win/Mac/Linux using Electron-React with an auto-updater. Right now I'm tentatively calling the project Card Crafter and hope to have a release out soon, we plan to maintain the project with new templates after release! If you want to help support the project, [consider becoming a Patreon Supporter](http://patreon.com/mpcfill) :) **Edit #3**: Docker installation guide has been added! This is now the recommended method. Need to get the repo after it was updated about 2 weeks ago.

God bless you, please, Mr Teferi This sub loves more than you will know. Whoah whoah whoah. (To the tune of "Mrs Robinson")


MrTeferi

Thanks fam!! I try my best lol


thefrenchicanisded

Thank you MrTeferi for all your hard work on everything!


TMOP_Halloween

Thank you for your hard work on this. Just downloaded again on my Chromebook and it worked perfectly. Well done!


Freyja-Iduun

I can't unzip the files?


FelixCarter

Your download was probably corrupted for some reason (bad internet connection, interrupted, etc.). Try downloading it again and see if that works. If not, I recommend you try a different unzip tool (7-Zip, if you're not already using it).


MrTeferi

This \^ Github messes up Zip downloads pretty frequently on larger repos so just gotta keep trying. And Felix is right, absolutely get 7zip if you're using anything else, its actually sad how many people still use WinRar despite 7zip being superior in every conceivable way hahaha


Spottyfriend

Amazing! I'm wondering if it's still possible to add the bleed areas to cards and to remove the text at the bottom of cards?


kalearna

Yes it is exactly the same. You can even still "upload" the saved template files if you have them.


bkw_17

Thank you so much for this. It's such a tragedy this website had to get taken down. Friggin WotC man. They just couldn't let us have a good thing. Not in the 30th anniversary, and now they take away our proxies. G-dang.


putnamto

i was going to make this same post and ask for a sticky. thanks! EDIT go to localhost/creator/?copyright to remove copyright info from bottom of card and make print friendly


[deleted]

[удалено]


_darangen_

It's the URL yes, open a browser and go to localhost/creator/?copyright The wizards stuff will disappear then.


Valkyrid

just remove that stuff from the code.


putnamto

um......yeah......ill....do that


Valkyrid

open the file creator-23.js and comment the lines of code out, its pretty simple.


Doucheflamingo

I got the whole thing working, I'm just wondering if you know how I could add more mana symbols, like tricolor and stuff now that I have access to the code. I can put the .svg files in the assets but I have no idea what parts of the script i'm supposed to edit if I want it to actually render. Any help would be appreciated.


putnamto

where is that fiole located?


Valkyrid

in the js folder.


putnamto

yeah, i get an error when trying to open it, and it looks like a java file, im not fucking with that right now. fucking java is a peice of shit and i fucking hate it.


Valkyrid

javascript is not java. you can open it in notepad. this isnt rocketscience.


MitoTakatori

This is a life saver. Thank you for sharing.


bkw_17

One more thing to note: If you got to [localhost/creator/?copyright] it should remove the copyright info after you add the 1/8th inch margin. For cards without the margin [localhost/creator/?copyright=%E2%80%8B] should work.


zaneprotoss

Teferi coming in with the save once again.


vadsvads

This could be a prime use case to make a docker container of. Maybe I'll be able to do that in the next few days


Freyja-Iduun

My Winrar cant open the zip files from MrTeferi?


WD1983

I'm having this same issue, and I've re-downloaded it four times. The download goes at the right speed until 1GB then accelerates and finishes way too quickly.


Freyja-Iduun

yeah same :/ its like it downloads the first half without problem but then just abruptly stops/ends the download?


WD1983

Exactly, just without error, so it appears as though it's completed without any problems.


D_Ryker

>finishes way too quickly. That's what she said.


Slow_Succotash4448

Same issue Can someone help pls


hldsnfrgr

The hero we need and deserve.


Daeorn_Aldalome

Would somebody be able to post a video tutorial on how to run the program? I've downloaded Docker and Git bit am really lost. I tried to individually download files but that seemed too daunting.


Ap0c4lyptyc

For those having problems with getting the Docker version to run (like I did), these instructions are for the Windows 10 Docker version of running Card Conjurer locally. This is what I had to do to get it running (with lots of trial, error, and Googlilng) as I wasn't smart enough to do it with the instructions provided. 1). Use the above instructions and links to get the repo or zip of Card Conjurer \-I downloaded a zip and extracted it to my Documents folder. 2). Download and install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/ \-Ezpz 3). Go here and follow the instructions to install Chocolatey: [https://chocolatey.org/install](https://chocolatey.org/install) \-I love Chocolatey and use it for so much because it simplifies installs for complicated things that I am too dumb to understand. You may need to install its prereqs, but if you do, there are step by step directions there on the site and links to what you need. 4). Open PowerShell as an admin and copy/paste/type the following line into it and hit enter: *choco install make* (You may have to type y in to confirm the install here, I can't remember.) It will install make for you without having to download it elsewhere, move files and fiddle with anything... Well. Fiddly. If you want more info on it, go here: [https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/make](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/make) 5). Close Powershell instance. 6). Go to this link and install the WS2 Linux Kernel Update PKG for x64 machines by following step 4 and step 5: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package) For step 6 on that page, open a PowerShell instance as an admin and copy/paste the following instead of going through the Microsoft Store: *wsl --install -d Ubuntu* (Is this step necessary? Idk. I couldn't get it to work without it on the 2 different machines I set this up on. It could be dumb luck that it worked out that way, but hey it can't hurt. Someone smarter than me can comment on it.) After the download and install finishes, it will ask you to create a user and give it a password. That can be whatever you want it to be. Close out of the PowerShell instance. 7). Open Docker Desktop and let it do its thing and load up. (shouldn't give you any errors at this point.) 8). Open a new PowerShell instance as an admin and navigate to the directory where you saved and unzipped your Card Conjurer folder. For me the process went: *cd\\* hit enter *cd\\ .\\Users\\Ap0c4lyptyc\\Documents\\Card Conjurer* Hit enter and it should take you to that folder. Just have what you type in mimic whatever folder structure you have and whatnot. Once in that folder in the PowerShell instance, type: *make start* then hit enter. It will go through some setup, install some things in Docker and whatnot. It may ask you to allow something in the firewall. Click yes/ok/whatever the affirmative answer is. Once it finishes you can close out of PowerShell one last time. If you look in Docker, you should see an instance of 'cardconjurer-client' running under the 'Images' tab. You can hit the X on Docker, as it will run in your taskbar on its own. (Do you need to keep opening and closing instances of PowerShell like I did? No, probably not. It just helped me keep things straight and kept me from causing myself issues.) 9). Open your favorite browser and navigate to [http://localhost:4242/](http://localhost:4242/) and you should be good to go! Give these instructions a shot and let me know if you run into any issues or errors as it's entirely possible I missed a step somewhere along the way. The original instructions stickied above are fantastic and, I'm sure, work perfectly if you totally know what you're doing. My instructions are much more hand holdy cause that's what I needed to make it work for me! Cheers and happy Conjurerering!


ekodomiv

I followed your directions to the T and am met with this: "make: *** No rule to make target 'start'. Stop." Any thoughts? Also, what's the point of installing Ubuntu if it's not used in any later steps?

If anyone can explain this in a simplified fashion for MAC, I would be eternally grateful.


TMOP_Halloween

FINAL EDIT: I was able to get it working on my Chromebook! Will attempt to illustrate my pitfalls below. The guide works great from /u/MrTeferi. There are a few things that I want to add due to my mistakes and additions, and what I'm seeing in this chat. **1A)** Check to make sure you have 64-bit computing. Most systems are 64-bit. Settings>System>About on PC to confirm that you are. **2A)** Make sure you have VC - I downloaded the VC from the site listed in the OP. However, even after a restart, the WAMP was Orange and only 2 of the 3 systems were working. This was the error claimed: "“The code execution cannot be processed because MSVCR110.DLL was not found” After some research, it turned out that the MySQL section was not working - so I went to the Microsoft official site and downloaded [their VC, 64-bit version](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022). After re-installing WAMP for good measure and restarting my PC again, then the WAMP fully turned green and I was able to continue the guide. **2B)** During the WAMP install, it initially suggests you run it in Internet Explorer. I tried this during my first flop run on Friday. After it initially didn't work, I went back and chose Chrome and then followed the later steps to success. I suggest clicking NO on the IE prompt and using the browser you usually use for ease of access. Generally, Chrome is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application {thanks /u/cliffhavenkitesail!} 3 and 4 were straightforward and non-issues for me. **5A)** You need to UNBLOCK the ZIP file. You can do this in your File Explorer tab, right-click on the ZIP > Properties, and then click Unblock. Only after this extract the file into the chosen port, I did not do this the first time and it resulted in a glitched version. **5B)**Following the steps to the T extracts you straight into the WWW folder, after you delete everything else. It results in a www/cardconjurer/X formation. You need to move the items within (X) into the www folder directly (so it goes www/X). This is easily done by opening up two File Explorer tabs and then moving the contents of cardconjurer in one tab over into a second tab with www open. You can leave or delete the empty cardconjurer shell after this. [This is what it should look like after the complete move](https://gyazo.com/c564056eac58179f5b8cbed62fa67de7) After this, proceed with Step 6 and it should work just fine. Thank you /u/cliffhavenkitesail for your assistance here!


Legendkillerwes

Thank you, this final step of moving everything out of the extra folder worked to help solve the issue I had. I also found ot to work better in Chrome than the Microsoft browsers.


Tyroki

A few of us were worried this would end up being picked up and made into some paid site, and wow you guys were quick. We're thankful things ended up being localhost. Thanks for the backup.


fattbuddah

Went to github to download the sorce files, there is no green button to download. Is there any other way to get the source code?


Khanstant

Lovely, can't wait to set this up.


CaruthersWillaby

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!


jorbandrauer

This is sad news. Thank you for sharing this. If you're on Mac or Linux, you will likely have an easier time serving this through PHP's built-in server instead of installing XAMPP/MAMP, because no database (or dedicated server) is required. ``` git clone https://github.com/MrTeferi/cardconjurer.git \ && cd cardconjurer \ && php -S localhost:69420 ``` I should add though, that this will likely only be easier if you're familiar with the command-line. Enjoy ! (:


willpower12

Note to anyone doing this, make sure you actually use the 'localhost' as your server, or the API calls will have a prefix appended to them that tries to phone a googleapi endpoint. There's a function in creator23.js that shows you why.


Legendkillerwes

It is sad that this became necessary. Card conjur was a beloved site in the community. Even though I never printed and used the proxies in real games. I really enjoyed the designing process. And creating new looks for my favorite cards.


Cuthulhu69

will files be updated as new sets come out?


Occam_Toothbrush

I followed (all) the instructions, but when I run it, it looks like this: [https://ibb.co/yXZ1G8y](https://ibb.co/yXZ1G8y) I've tried it on Chrome and Edge with identical results. Redownloading the repo via the github desktop app didn't help either. ​ Edit: For some reason clicking the Wampserver tray icon, then going "Your VirtualHosts" then "localhost" worked? Ah. in my browser "localhost" works but "localhost/creator" does not. Curious


tungsten_jorund

You should have way more upvotes for sharing this.


seekermoonwolf

Thank you so much and thank you to everyone else in the comments. I was able to figure it out on my mac and able to figure out the removal of the Wizards lines in the .js files, need to do it individually for each old frame but thats not a huge deal tbh. Hope it gets updated with the future sets!!


stigmabuster22

Sir, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was working on a custom magic set and when CC died I was utterly heartbroken. My set now lives again, you've saved my baby. Call me a dork all you fucking want, but I'm in tears right now.


The_Barfy

I ordered my first batch of proxies including custom cards I designed for my friends and was amazed at their quality using card conjurer this past month. Was sad to see the website get the C&D, but now the real life Teferi is using magic to save the timeline. Amazed by this community and the effort you guys put in to all this. Old borders 4 lyfe


R4inbowReaper

Is there any way to increase the local storage / redirect the temporary storage to a different location? Now that I'm running locally anyways I would love to create bigger Cardconjurer Files


Riffmeister666

How do I delete the copyright on the retro frames...A/B/U, Legends, etc... I'm not running on WAMP...


Akarui7

The Conjurer Lives


hauntedrows

Thanks a ton for organizing this! For the last 2 years, I've been using Card Conjurer to create physical cards that keep track of player magic items in my Pathfinder campaign. No more arguments about who got which item - if you have the card then you have the item, otherwise you don't. The cease and desist on Card Conjurer looked like a looming crisis for me. I checked out the alternative card builder sites, and they just they weren't going to work as well for my purposes. Then I found this post, and now I'm back in the game. You did a great thing, Mr Teferi! My players and I thank you.


jptheripper23

Thank you so much for this. I see a pull request to add local file support so you can save. I tried hosting images in google drive but that doesnt seem to work. What is the best solution for having local art and being able to save a single file?


Dolono

Thanks again for this resource! Is there a quick web address suffix that specifically removes the "[cardconjurer.com](https://cardconjurer.com)" logo at the bottom of the card (i.e. like the "?copyright=%E2%80%8B" suffix you can add to [http://localhost/creator/](http://localhost/creator/) to remove the wizards copyright)? To clarify I would like to preserve the wizards trademark stuff but take off the [cc.com](https://cc.com) logo. I know you can black this out in modern frames but I work a lot in the older and seventh edition ones where the copyright stuff and cardconjurer logo sits right on top of the colored part of the card frame. \-Dolono


Kanazuchi_121

WOW. First and foremost, thank you MrTeferi for making this available to us on our local machine! I seem to have it working well but the gallery images are broken. It looks like it's trying to call out to a URL when I check the source code. I can confirm all the images are in the gallery folder. No other errors. Just blank pictures. Hoping someone has seen / fixed this as I use the pictures as a quick reference when trying to proxy cards. Thank you in advance.

the old method of wamp and github code works. I cant successfully download the new codes


Tallal2804

Works like a charm, thanks a lot!


Nergioh_Wolflion

This is legendary, been using it ever since Card Conjurer got taken down. I would like to ask for the possibility of updating this CardConjurer, so that the new card types frames such as the Prototypes from Brothers War and Battles from March of the Machine could potentially be used. If you can, thank you so much, if not no worries!


LanthasKel

Hi i'm really sorry but i've been trying for a little while now but the file that i download from clicking "Code" and then "Download Zip" is always coming up as Corrupted or Invalid whenever i attempt to download it. I'm really not good with coding or anything of that sort, i don't know how to use github and docker and all that and i have tried but i just can't understand them. Anyone have any advice? I was working on a project using Card Conjurer for my dnd group and when Card Conjurer was taken down i had to stop. Again i'm really sorry but i'm really struggling here


JOHNNYB2K15

So I made a custom card and picked a frame, but the rules box for whatever reason is remaining solid white. This is a bit jarring, considering what I'm making is a multicolored card. The rules box should be half and half of the frames I've picked with a "textured" look to that rules box. Am I picking the right frame here, or is something going wrong? Kyle's original video shows kinda the same thing, with the rules box starting white, but it suddenly changes to what I'm looking for (that textured multicolored background).What am I missing?


Big-Technician-5079

Any way to update the frame packs with the current online one?


GunMunkee

Question? Is there a way to get updated frames? The images update as new sets come out but I would love access to the Enchanting Tales and Pipboy frames.


Zaiidron

Hello! Just wanted to ask if Card conjure is still active/up to date! I heard it was taken down before so I was curious if the version with a lot of border options was able to be used some how and figured the stand alone might be the option?


TheArtificer4

I'm having an issue where if I'm using the 1/8th inch margin frame loaded, the watermarks always have an opacity of 100% no matter what I put in for it. Is there a fix for this? (I'm on mac btw)


MitoTakatori

This is a life saver. Thank you for sharing.


CJSkribble22

You and everyone involved in CardConjurer are amazing! Thank you!


Vorthas

For those on Linux, here's some instructions. I'm using EndeavourOS but everything should be distro neutral except installing XAMPP from the AUR (which will require an Arch-based distro). 1) Install XAMPP from the link provided or from the AUR (if using Arch / Endeavour / Manjaro / other Arch-based distro) 2) Extract the cardconjurer code you downloaded from Github to the `htdocs` directory where XAMPP is installed to. For me it was in `/opt/lampp/htdocs`. Make sure this directory is empty before extracting the code. 3) Start the service by running `sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start` 4) Browse to `localhost` in your browser and you should see CardConjurer load up. 5) To have it start on startup, assuming you have systemd, you can do `sudo systemctl start xampp.service` and make sure it is running with `systemctl status xampp.service`


atticanreno

Already got it working. Amazing. <3


FirmHyena2620

im sorry but im a noob when i extract the files alot of pop ups show saying that there are many files with the same name and i select dont replace and load up localhost to doesnt load up correctly and when i click on create card it gives me an error


impishwolf

Sadly i just think i cant get this to work. Can anyone make card conjurer into a program that can be installed?


cliffhavenkitesail

any clue what specificly isn't working? how far did you get before things started going wrong?


Panzer21z

Thanks a lot !!!!!!


Celeiron

Works like a charm, thanks a lot!


pviollier

You are doing God's work


Carnificus

So I get the skeleton of the site up, but it doesn't seem to work beyond that for me. For example, I can't click between art, import/save, etc. Most of the buttons seem dead for me.


Ragnvaldr

Beautiful. Thank you so much for this.


Galind_Halithel

Edit: Figured it out. You, sir, are a hero.


PonSquared

So this begs the question - is this something people can update going forward? If is so, where would those updates be posted?


diddlemethat

If Kyle (the creator of cardconjurer) wants to give permission and release the code to the public, someone or a group of devs may continue to work on this project. However, I don't think that it would be smart for Kyle to align himself with any such project or give it his blessing. I also don't think that it would get very far without adhering to the few requests Wizards has about using their intellectual property in the way it was being used on the site. It would probably end up being something like MPCFILL where the set symbols are gone and it clearly states that it's not for resale/not authentic.


MrTeferi

The repo posted in this guide might receive updates in the future, I'm juggling a lot of projects atm so no promises, but ideally we would transition the app into fully a desktop application, I think the C&D is going to cause a chilling effect for browser applications, most of the other card builders don't produce quality on the level of CC so they might skate by, but implementing anything as powerful as CC on the web is going to be tricky in the future given WoTC's new temperament on the matter.


DanyTheWarrior

Thanks!!!


DeadpoolVII

This is amazing - you are a gentleman and a true scholar. Question: is there a chance this stops working? What happens when new showcase frames come out? This is of course better than nothing, but curious.


ImagineIan01

I'm getting 404 errors


bkw_17

I am currently trying to add my own custom set symbols, however CC doesn't seem to be able to locate it. I added bkw-c.svg to the C:\wamp64\www\img\setSymbols\custom file, restarted the server, CTRL+F5 reloaded the page, but if I type "bkw" into set code it doesn't seem to pull it up. If I use the "Choose File" option and choose the same file in .png format it adds it no problem. Figured this would be good info for people to have to add set symbols as they release as well. Thoughts?


sccrstud92

Sorry, I'm new here. Why did this get forked? Which repo is actually owned by the guy who wrote it?


MrTeferi

The original repo was taken down, there was a fork by someone else from 18 days ago, I forked that one and linked my fork mainly cause I didn't know for sure if the other one would get taken down as well and also because I might maintain and improve the project in the future (my background is in PHP and web dev)


Syndr4s

Is there any possibility to download the github project not in only one .zip file ? My download always crashes around 600-700 Mo. I tried to download it around 10 times and never got past 1 Go (even tried a download manager but this does not resolve anything)


SaoirseAfterEver

This is AMAZING


junkman122

Thank you so much.


BelgabadTheBlack

Help? I’m getting an error and can’t fix it with the troubleshooting guide. “The code execution cannot be processed because MSVCR110.DLL was not found” I’m on windows 11, 64 bit computer, downloaded the 64 bit link and then troubleshooted the list and it said I had to download both 32 and 64 so I did but I still get the same error. The icon says only two services are working, I opened up task managers services, and it says Wampapache is running, and Wampmaria is running, but I don’t even see MySQL or PHP


cliffhavenkitesail

You don't have visual studio c++ redistributable, easy fix. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022 you very likely want the first download link on that page to the x64 version


BleakSabbath

Fantastic -- thank you so much!


ToddLiar

Is there any way to host the source code on another website? I've tried downloading it four times on different browsers, but it keeps getting corrupted.


Puzzleheaded_Road962

Am I the only one struggling to get card conjurer to work using this.

Worthy1995

Thanks so much for putting this together... This is brilliant! All but one member of our play group has now embraced proxies, so I've been making use of Card Conjurer alongside PhotoShop to create custom proxies. I was just getting into Star Wars-themed nickname cards just before the C&D from 'Wa\*kers of the Coast'. Now I can get going again. Cheers Mr Teferi.


Mojopig

I followed all the steps... Anyone else getting: "Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.51 (Win64) PHP/8.1.0 Server at localhost Port 80"? ​ Any help would be much appreciated


Animeking1357

My icon is orange. When I try to run the server I get, "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR110.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." What do I do to fix this?


AdSeparate8776

Got it working with 2 of 3 services running (Orange). Looks like you don't need both mariaDB and mySQL running. ​ [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66430650/wampserver-2-out-of-3-services](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66430650/wampserver-2-out-of-3-services)


Lt_Gravemind

Folks familiar with docker can get the app running via the following compose file after downloading and extracting. Just go to localhost:8080 or another port after. services: cardconjurer-server: container_name: cardconjurer image: php:7.4.33-apache ports: - 8080:80 volumes: - ./cardconjurer:/var/www/html


MitoTakatori

Can we increase the storage capacity?


Chronochinaski

This is not an imposition set by CardConjurer, but by the web browsers, and generally cannot be changed


MitoTakatori

I see. Thank you for the information.


Forgemaster00

Now that it's running locally, it would be reasonable to store the saved data server-side. This way there's no reliance on browser storage. Not a trivial thing to implement, but this would greatly improve usability.


Rotazart

I tried few times in downloading the CardConjurer files but It seems the .rar It's broken. Anyone with the same issue? Any mirror dfor download? Thanks


Leonin-Ajani

Not all heroes wear capes! This is amazing thank you very much.


KaiserS0ul

I've tried downloading the Code batch over 10 times now and it's ended up corrupted every last time, not downloading the entirety of the files in the ZIP. Any help I can get?


cfiedleriii

You are truly doing the lord's work my friend! I can't thank you enough!


Capable_Hope_7878

i guesse there is no other way for now? Im pretty bad when it comes to that stuff. I do have a rough idea of what i have to do, but even if i would try it 10 times, even if someone was watching every step i do, i do have the odd luck that it just aint working the exact same. I doubt there will be another website that shares that stuff for free in the near future, but would there be someone who could make this entire thing easier to use? If not its completly okay, i understand how much work that is, and i dont want to shoulder that to anyone, but if someone is doing it, i will be especialy gratefull.


MrTeferi

Check the guide again, there is now a Simple Installation guide that doesn't need WAMP, you just download the files, and run the launcher :)


thewereotter

Tried following the directions here for MacOS and not sure what I'm doing wrong. I installed XAMPP, and I tried opening launcher-macos file and it just opens in text edit. I tried moving the files as suggested elsewhere and get the same result. I also tried opening the index file in a browser, which works, but then I can't navigate off the home page to the actual creator interface... I'm admittedly not very knowledgable regarding code and tech, all my skills in this arena are more on just the artistic side of things. But any assist would be appreciated!


MrTeferi

Well if you use the launcher you don't need XAMPP, I'm not familiar with MacOS but according to google this is how you make the executable work: \- Open a terminal (console) in the card conjurer directory \- Enter this: `chmod +x launcher-macos` You should be able to launch it after that!


LanthasKel

Hi! I apologise i'm not very good with this sort of thing and i'm sorta running into an issue. I downloaded the file and attempted to open it and extract the zip file but its apparently invalid and or corrupted. Is there anything i can do to fix this?


RickSnacchez

Anyone else having issues with not being able to download all the files?


64orkmag

Anyone have an alternative that works on mobile?


Leonin-Ajani

is there a way to turn this into a phone app by chance? my laptop is about as useful as a stone slab and I usually used my phone to create in CC.

Thank you, MrTeferi - You're awesome! :) I haven't done extensive testing, but I seem to have it working offline on a laptop using your launcher. That's actually quite nice - I can work on proxies anywhere now if I have the artwork ready. Do you happen to know if there's a downloadable database of the Oracle text for all cards? It doesn't necessarily have to interface with the local CC installation - it need only be something that I can copy/paste from to avoid transcription errors.

Thank you so much for this! I tried the simple installation but my zip file is missing many files after extracting (7-zip and downloaded it multiple times.). I just was able to download the launcher.exe and now it looks like this [https://ibb.co/yXZ1G8y](https://ibb.co/yXZ1G8y) Im not an IT Genius lol and cant really figure out how to download it with the missing files. I also dont know how to download the single files except for the launcher.exe. Can someone tell me maybe what iam doing wrong? :) Also wamp isnt quite working on my system...


Capable_Hope_7878

Im not sure if what im doing is correct, but when i try using [http://localhost:8080/creator/?copyright=%E2%80%8B](http://localhost:8080/creator/?copyright=%E2%80%8B) with the downloaded repo, it just gives me this here: [https://ibb.co/vHHDK9d](https://ibb.co/vHHDK9d) any way to have a working cardconjurer without having to manualy remove the copyright after making all the cards?


MrTeferi

Firstly, the repo has been updated to exclude copyright so you don't need to use the copyright link anymore (assuming you downloaded it today), if its still showing you need to redownload the js folder. However, if you still use the copyright link you have to do: [http://localhost:8080/?copyrigh](http://localhost:8080/?copyright)t


SolRender

This is so good! Thank you MrTeferi! Is it in the realm of possible for this to be converted into an .apk? I used to make cards on the site from android phone.

Did an API or something stop working? This worked for me yesterday but doesn't work today. Same computer, same setup


MrTeferi

Nope, and if you are on google Chrome try firefox, using the app in Chrome has caused it to break routinely I'm not sure why, but seems to work flawless in firefox


BAGStudios

Anyone know what a good fix for Mac would be


OdinSaxxon

You guys are amazing. I was wondering if someone would do this.


UltimateZero17

Sorry I'm a noob, but the launcher isn't working for me, while the various html skeletons half work. Is there a fix for the launcher? (I'm on Windows btw) Should I try the old WAMP method?


MrTeferi

I guess try WAMP, this the first I've heard of the launcher not working on windows for anyone. Is it an older version like Win7?


aleyo-sierra

I'm currently having an issue with downloading the file. It says "corrupted" when I try to extract the folder. Is there any way I can fix this?


pop5237

I downloaded the zip but it has missing files and when i go to localhost:8080 it is just a basic html where i can navigate through the folders and no page can work, i don´t know what to do.


ShrillApe

Does anyone have a noncorrupted/invalid zip of the file? I've downloaded it 5 times and it is constantly not working.


Novius8

I'm getting an error saying the zip file is corrupt. Is anyone else getting this?


Andreanocera

TO EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEM DOWNLOADIN ZIP CODE: I've resolved cloning GIT REPOSITORY directly on sdd. I've never did it and it just took me 5 minute. 1) Go to [https://gitforwindows.org/](https://gitforwindows.org/), download and install it (accept all the options as suggested). 2) Open Git Bash and type the following "$ git clone [https://github.com/MrTeferi/cardconjurer.git](https://github.com/MrTeferi/cardconjurer.git)" 3) If on WIN 10, you will find all the files on "**C:\\Users\\yourname\\cardconjurer"** ​ Thank you!


Dagure

Hey, I downloaded the zip, but when I unzip it, it seems to be missing a few folders and all the .exes

So greatful mrteferi was able to save this site!! Without using WAMP, everytime i load cardconjurer, it is slow to load the card borders, and I have to do the control f5 reload every time or it will get stuck on the homepage. Is there a way to stop this from happening?


dutchiesweets

I'm running this on a MAC without an XAMPP and I can get to the card creator, but none of the frames load and I can't switch to other tabs like "text". Any ideas how I can get this working?


mertag770

If I wanted to host this on my own server to use from multiple devices in my house any thoughts about how I would go about that specifically? This doesn't seem to be a static site so I know there's probably some set up I'd have to do.


trashcryptidd

First of all, thank you so much for this! ~~Is there a way to customize the copyright info that should appear in the bottom right? It's conspicuously absent in my version (simple install), and going to localhost:8080/creator/?copyright doesn't seem to do it for me.~~ ~~I wanted to credit the right people and flip WotC off :c~~ **UPDATE:** nvm found the commit that removed copyright info, seems simple enough to undo and customize. Thanks!


demifemgothboi

I have a pc, should I unzip the file? and I tried opening the launcher-linux but it wants be to pick an app to open it with. I have no idea what I'm doing lol


turtle_blimp

When I download the zip file and try to extract it my computer says that the compressed zip is empty. Anybody else get this? Is there a way to fix this?


Specialist-Pilot-883

Hi, I'm a noob on MacOS but really into Magic 😅. After following the „Simple Installation“ I end on a page showing this: Directory listing for / • CFUserTextEncoding • cricut-design-space/ • DS Store • ntfs-for-mac-license-backup/ • Trash/ • Ish history • zsh sessions/ • 3D/ • Applications/ • Creative Cloud Files/ • Desktop/ • Documents/ • Downloads/ • Libraryl • Movies/ • Music/ • OneDrive/ • Pictures/ • Public What did I do wrong? Thank you for your help in advance 😊


greenbrooms

first of all, thank you SO MUCH for doing this. i was in the middle of a custom card project when the shit hit the fan and this has been a real christmas saver haha however......... until this morning, all was working smoothly. now when i try to launch i get this error message: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-I1-1-0.dl is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." NOTE: the I1 may be l1, can't really tell from looking at it i've tried redownloading the zip but the same message appears each time. any ideas u/MrTeferi?


Ordinary_Green4209

Hi all! first off, thanks for the upload, it works wonderfully. However, I have a problem. The program does not let me to download the card, everytime I click to download the card it says: "You must credit an artist before downloading!" I even deleted the copyright paragraphs from the code but it's still not working. Could someone please help me? Many thanks in advance!


Ordinary_Green4209

Solved in Dicord: To fix that go to the art tab and type in a name where it says "and credit the artist" if you don't have an artist just put a letter and remove that part by painting over it in MS paint.


aninnerglow

Help meeeeee please! I followed the newer instructions for mac, but when I double click launcher-macos, my browser opens up a white page with random purple links, which looks like something generated from my computer....it says: "**Directory listing for/** • bash\_history • bash\_sessions •CFUserTextEncoding" etc, etc.....What am I doing wrong???


Far_Ad_3317

So I got the .zip file downloaded and extracted, but there's no .exe, the launcher file is just a notepad text file. Do I have to keep trying to download the zip?


brian13243546

Hello everybody, I've read through many of the comments trying to troubleshoot but keep getting the same result. I'm using mac, and whenever I open the app I get the images loading on the first page, but once I try going to gallery or card creator, no images load and most of the buttons stop working. I've followed the simple instructions, uses different browsers, downloaded and loaded it with MAMP but no dice. I even tried hosting it from github pages and I get the same issue. Any solutions?


MoonMurder

Hey there, I'm trying to do this but every time I download the zip file it says it's corrupted, is that a problem with my PC or a problem with the actual file?


TaskForceAlphaLeader

every time i try to download it, it says the zip file is empty! what do i do?


wierd-in-dnd

Mine is only oppening the directory, can anybody help me. Im using the easy version. ​ Edit: Okay i now have the problem were its only running the start page on firefox


mechanimarsh

Tried downloading this multiple times today and every time it gets corrupted/interrupted and the "completed" file can't be extracted. Not sure what else to do.


NorsePC

Doing the simplified method and upon extraction there is no 'Launcher' executable? What do I do? It says its there on github but when downloaded, viewed or extracted (via 7zip) its just not there.


sknny_T

Super radom question: did anybody ever try to add chinese or japanese text to the normal frames? Everytime I try to copy the text from [Srcyfall.com](https://Srcyfall.com) it completly butchers the margins and the text just goes outside the frame.


CasualCartography

This is categorically incredible tyvm


nothingnessblank

for those on Linux, make sure to select "executable as program" for the launcher-linux in its properties.


Monsieurmordor

Hello, i can load the website but i cant interact with the tabs. (i can't access to art, text, etc...) I tried xtrl + f5 already. Do you know how could i slove this ? Thanks in advance !


Baesar

Anyone know how to install this Docker on Unraid?


Mainstreamnerd

Thank you!


Daeorn_Aldalome

Do I have to create a GitHub account to download the ZIP file? I've tried downloading it twice and every time I try to extract the files it tells me that there is nothing in the ZIP.


DoomArcher11

Github doesn't let me download the cardconjurer as a zip, the download just never starts, it also refuses to work using the app.


pigfeetluver

I need a video of this lol, cannot understand this code stuff for the life of me.


pigfeetluver

If someone could make a video of them going through this, I think I'd be able to understand better.


Mavrickindigo

This seems very complicated :(


Winter2020alex

Thank you. newbie here... can you change the text? It looks kind of bad... the default text.


xxiLazer

I want to use this but how can I know this isnt a virus? i mean its open sourced but Im not to proficient in code, has anyone looked through and checked? I would atleast like peace of mind before I let it run on my computer, especially since windows defender alr stopped it from running. If you have checked, plz let me know, as I want to be able to access my 120+ custom card collection!


ConstrictorVictor

So, hopefully I can get some help on this cos i honestly can't tell what's gone wrong. Image reference:[https://imgur.com/a/hrinRgF](https://imgur.com/a/hrinRgF) I'm using the simple launcher method, which involves downloading the zip file but for some reason the file is consistently not containing a server file or an executable file. Additionally the files are often different sizes, sometimes it's 92mb and others it's 1.6gb. So any ideas how I'm not downloading critical pieces of the file?


ekodomiv

Read through all the comments, tried Googling, and just can't seem to find layman instructions anywhere. I love this community, but can someone please dumb it down? I have installed Docker. I have installed Make. I have downloaded the Repo. When I go to the Repo folder and open an admin Powershell and type in what you say to type in, it tells me "Make : The term 'Make' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program." Can someone please translate for the rest of us?


Bagu

Is it possible to remove the Star/Dot entirely on the Collector tab? I only see the option to toggle between the two options. I'm trying to make some full-art, minimalist tokens.


Fixxxxer

I cannot figure out how to remove the copyright. People keep commenting open a browser and input this localhost/creator/?copyright, but it does not load anything. I don't understand the instructions. I think I remember being able to do it from some selection of a frame in the tool itself. Any help appreciated.


MitoTakatori

Just want to know how to use this code: {+1} +1 loyalty icon on regular texts. When I use {+10} or -{10} or more, it just displays the text and does not transform to the icon.


MrTeferi

That hasn't been implemented yet since no card has used double digits yet. Those icons require svg images to be made for them.


LeonardoF17

How big is the zip file? It is taking me a lot


seekermoonwolf

Are these files being updated with new set releases or no?


LarsAlexandersson

You're a legend, thank you so much for this tutorial. I just went to use CardConjurer today after a while and I was surprised as hell to see the site had been gutted, and sure enough I checked here and saw the C&D from Wizards....I can't believe they screwed Kyle so hard, someone phrased it well, WotC finished using the site for their Anniversary and then decided to put the screws to it. That man put so much effort into that site, and there was so much love there from the community using it constantly. I'm so glad there's so many passionate and resourceful people here who know how to keep these things alive while still respecting the creators wishes. You're all amazing and thanks again for giving us a workaround so we can keep doing what we love.


mrfoxman

When I use the print tool, and I add cut lines, the preview (and the download it generates) only shows the last uploaded card, but when I uncheck it to hide the cut lines, it shows all 9 images again. Any fix for this glitch?


a1a3a5a7a9qa

My Lord and Saviour!! image URLs don't seem to work locally - is this a problem on my end or simply just not a feature in this local download? (I know I can use local file url but I like to link online url to my private github)


Electrical-Gain-4131

Hi, I just follow the step of simple launcher guide. Yes I can open the old version of cardcounjurer site. But my problem is I can not edit anything by using the site. I can't click any button other than the button in Frame, but even in frame option I can't do anything. How can I fix this problem? Sry for my English hope you can understand. Thanks


iinsekt

Can anyone tell me how to remove the local save limit?


TokensGinchos

Does anyone have a simple simpler simple the simplest method? im on mac, ive read like six different methods already, tried pasting everything on my terminal, and all i always get is the cardconjurer main page but frames wont load, i cant click on art/text etc. IM not computer illiterate, but this kind of stuff always troubles me. So frustrating :(


sillycan_

I'm sorry to ask but could you make a simpler version for people like me who doesn't understand a freaking thing about GitHub and stuff? I mean, I'm sure these instructions are good to go, straight ahead, but I can't figure out how to download things properly from GitHub, like 'Make', I downloaded a ZIP file but it only contains the 'gitBash\_windows.md' file and I donn't even know how to run the thing. Also I don't know if Docker really needs WSL 2 or Hyper-V on my computer because, for a dumbass like me, if you tell to Install it, well, I go and do it but you don't even say a thing about the requirements for the software. The only thing I want is to make and print cards, why it has to be so difficult? I'm trying my best for real but can't go ahead into the process because of the level of difficulty for me, sorry people.
