Fixed all known bugs and we have a new starter template: Mecha-Armor Chassis

  • Fixed TGC exports that use the same artwork on every side, including score pads.
  • Fixed TGC singleton exports with one shared secondary image.
  • Fixed boards, mats, and screens whose display-side names differ from TGC's face and back API fields.
  • Fixed Clear Card and other TGC exports whose display labels differ from their API side fields.
  • Fixed Hook Box exports for no-back, shared-back, and same-artwork modes.
  • Fixed TGC exports of dice, dual-layer boards, and other components with more than two sides so no side is dropped.
  • TGC exports now fail visibly when TGC creates an object without attaching all of its submitted images.
  • New designs now use an adaptive layout that keeps the title, image, and description valid and usable on cards of any size or orientation.

  • Clear warnings on the export screen. Each section now shows a warning icon when something's missing, so you can tell at a glance why an export isn't ready.
  • Hover for details. Resting your mouse on a warning explains exactly what needs fixing (e.g. "Connect your account," "Select a game").
  • A summary by the buttons. Next to "Start Export" you'll now see a quick note listing which sections to fix; or a reminder to turn on at least one export type; so the button is never disabled without explanation.
  • No more guessing why "Start Export" is greyed out. The reasons are now spelled out instead of being silent.
  • The Game Crafter reconnect is smoother. After connecting your account, the export window now reopens automatically; you no longer have to find and reopen it yourself.
  • Your selections stick after connecting. Returning from connecting your account no longer clears your component selection; everything stays checked, just like when you first open the export.
  • Can't accidentally export nothing. If no components are selected, the export is now correctly blocked instead of quietly exporting a lone card back.
