User blog:Penguin-Pal/New Player Card templates have arrived!

Hi everyone,

As you know, there have been several templates in recent years for interaction with CP content, such as EmbedMusic for playing CP music and Player Card Plain for displaying an image of your penguin. I'm happy to announce that a new one has just been added, which now allows you to quickly create your own player card image, regardless of what your penguin is currently wearing. The version can then also be downloaded, and if you want you can use it for uploading player card images of items/outfits.

Currently, the only way of creating one is by adding the template to some page and specifiying what items you want to add to the outfit, but future versions will also allow you to use instant generators for updating the current player card! Here's an example of the template:

Which results the following:

Note that it requires JavaScript to work, so if you're on a mobile device or in the mobile skin, the template won't be visible, and if you have JavaScript disabled, the loading animation would keep loading forever. Therefore it cannot be exclusively used in articles where images are loaded, but that's where downloading the image can be useful.

In addition, a generated player card can be used inside a line.

So, what do you think? Got some ideas for possible uses for it, or suggestions for improvements or future gadgets such as this one? Please share your thoughts in the comments!

P.S. please note that the feature was meant to be released sooner, but the release has been delayed per the seasonally walrus hibernation.
