Hello,

I've been following this tutorial today for making my own template. This is the first time I've ever done coding, so I'm not expierenced at all with it:
http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/node/1677

I was at this part of the tutorial:

OK, you almost had it right Stick out your tongue The choice images go underneath their main entry in the middle part of the style file. I edited it so it's now correct. Another pointer; You HAVE to use _tabs_ to line up the text, not spaces. I know that you can't type a tab into the wiki edit box, but you can copy and paste them.

So if you copy the current version into your local style file, you should now be able to open it in MSE. It is very important that you take note of any error messages that come up, but I don't think there will be any. *fingers crossed*.

When I opened MSE and wanted to do "New Set" I got this error:

Here is my style file:

1.) Always ALWAYS use "code" tags when posting code. They work just like spoiler tags, but preserve the formatting.

2.) Is the file named "style" or "style.txt". It needs to be "style".

I've added the "code" tags. Since I use notepad and Windows 2007, it kept saving it as .txt, while I didn't select it. I've downloaded an other program called "EditPad Lite". Now it works, so thankyou! Big smile I'm continueing the tuturial now.

Edit:
How can I get images at this screen? For the "game type" I will use the picture of a monster and for the "Card style" I will use the templates themselves.

Look in other game and style files; specifically at the "icon" field at the top of the file.
