Olivier Card Type

This card design was created by Reddit user /u/Olivier_286, with additional development by CollinHeist and Yozora.

This card features left-aligned title and episode text over the source image. It is structurally very similar to the Star Wars card, but does not include the star-filled gradient overlay.

Episode Text

The episode text is split into a prefix (e.g. EPISODE) and a number (e.g. ONE). By default, the episode text is formatted as:

EPISODE {to_cardinal(episode_number)}
What does this mean?

If the above text looks like gibberish to you, you can read more about how format strings work in TCM here.

In short - the above text translates to the text EPISODE with a cardinal- conversion of the episode number (cardinal being one, two, etc.). This means the default episode text comes out like EPISODE ONE, EPISODE TWO, etc.

The horizontal position of the number is adjusted automatically based on the length of the prefix text.

Color

The color of the episode text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Color extra. If unspecified, it defaults to white.

Examples

Size

The size of the episode text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Font Size extra. Values above 1.0 increase the size of the text, and values below 1.0 decrease it.

Examples

Vertical Shift

The vertical position of the episode text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Vertical Shift extra. Positive values shift the episode text down, and negative values shift it up.

Examples

Text Stroke Color

The color of the stroke applied to the title text can be adjusted with the Text Stroke Color extra. If unspecified, it defaults to black.

Examples

Gradient Overlay

Unlike most cards, the gradient overlay is not applied by default. To add a gradient overlay, set the Gradient Omission extra to False.

Text legibility

With the gradient omitted, text may be harder to read on bright images.

Examples

Gradient Type

When a gradient overlay is enabled, the Gradient Type extra controls which gradient image is used. This can be set to original or improved (default).

The original gradient is the same asset used by the Overline card (rotated 90°), while the improved gradient is a custom gradient designed specifically for this card type.

A custom gradient can also be provided as an ImageMagick command prefixed with custom:.

Examples

Mask Images

This card also natively supports mask images. Like all mask images, TCM will automatically search for alongside the input Source Image in the Series' source directory, and apply this atop all other Card effects.
