    Here is a topic to index my fanmade tool for modding for Infinity Defiance cards: PC, NPC & Ennemis. :sunglasses:
    :kissing_heart: If you have ideas you can make them and keep the look of the game to assure an artistic match.

    Infinity Defiance Modding Tools

    Example:
    [​IMG]

    I have created some blank Templates on Word and Gimps for modding in the future, Unit and NPC Cards.
    All files are in the format and size of the original cards.
    For now, no template for the PJs.
    So, let free your wildest imaginations, to integrate forces not present, etc.

    Link to ZIP Mod creation tool for Infinity Defiance :
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewfhs032g5mqpym/Outils Modding Defiance.zip?dl=0




    Manual

    ----INSTALLATION----
    * You have to install the DCAL, Orbitron and Aero Matics fonts, available in the Text Fonts folder, in ZIP file.
    * The DCAL font is a special font that manages the special symbols of the game (stars, dice, shields,...).
    For the equivalence Normal characters / Special symbols, there is in the ZIP file, an image that gives it.

    ---- MODDING ----
    - You can edit/create cards using the Blank Templates in Word.
    - Word contains a powerful image editing tool that should be sufficient for most jobs.
    - The Templates have the layers preset as the original ones, the rest is up to your imagination.

    (?) It is best to layer the original Game rules, before creating them, and if created test them thoroughly to avoid unnecessary printing.

    Translations of some terms :flag-fr:/:flag-gb: :
    Polices Textes = Fonts Texts
    Modèles Vierges Cartes Unités = Blank Templates Unit Cards
    Modèles Vierges Cartes Minicartes PNJ = Blank Templates NPC Cards
    Calque = Layer
    Taille Police = Font Size

    this is really cool. wonder if it's possible to get some of these assets into gimp files? well beyond my technical capability but being able to work in layers in gimp is easier than word and its free

    I haven't used Gimp since windows seven, I have a project for my commu but I will look when it is finished how I can organize it for you in a similar way.

    Nice. Thats easier to work with than Word. ;-)
    Now I can finally make use of all my Aleph Minis in Defiance.

    I'm thinking of making a custom campaign with custom Units about parts of Aleph turning Rouge and conspiring against humanity.

    Sure will. :-)
    But to be honest, it all rises and falls with the support defiance is getting in the future and how much I'm willing to spend my free time on it.
    I really want to love Defiance cause its a nice Concept with a cool setting, but half the campaign I've played so far was to buggy to enjoy properly.
    And I'm still struggeling with some mechanics cause of the unclear rulebook. :-(

    Don't worry, CB surely has three more Kickstarters planned before the Defiance FAQ materializes.

    these are really great--shot in the dark, but do you have any assets for creations of custom PC characters? i think between the background, and the slot icons that would cover custom equipment and the characters only need a box for the aggro, everything else could be modified from the tops and the bottom top fields.

    I found the assets from the demo pdf files, there were the layers of the stuff. But the PC characters pdf is the only pdf that CB saved in picture format.
    Indeed, I suppose that maybe by using the background of the equipment cards and with the different assets of the other cards we could do something similar, I'll look at.
