Deck Editing

[otherright]

I have a question. I have unpacked the core and DLCs. I've been playing with the wonderful cards you guys have created. But now I want to build a deck.

The DOTP deck editor doesn't work for me. When I try to do anything with it, I get the error listed at the bottom of the page. I know I can edit them with an XML editor, but how do I add them to the game. Thanks in advance.

I want to be able to see the name of the card when using Deck Editor (DoTP Deck Editor)...

I know that the cards from the CORE set are OK. Their name appears except a couple one...

I take a look at this card... all from the M10 extension. But where's the M10_CARD_TEXT.xml? And it's card in the Folder CARDS but nowhere in the game... KALONIAN_BALOTH, CENTAUR COURSER

There's only one place where their names aren't wrote without CAPS letter or _ and it's in the XXX_TITLE on the 10E_CARD_TEXT for exemple...

I try to pu my W_CARD_TEXT in the main TEXT_DUELTIME and a card but nothing... no name in the editor maybe it's because of these .bsf

Someone want to investigate with me?? It's hard to create a deck when you are not sure of wich card is it! (We have what 450 cards by now... imagine at 5000)

I downloaded it, but it won't install on this version of Vista. Is there another way to edit decks?

[Uresti]

if framework doesnt work for you then the try editing manually..

[otherright]

I can edit the XML, but how do I add it to game? The other decks have descriptions and pics to mark them. How is this done, but mainly, how do I add the deck to the game?

[Uresti]

DATA_DLC_9999\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\DATA_REQUIRED\DATASETS\GENERAL.XML

change _9999 for the name of your DLC and edit general.xml:
<DATASETS>

<DATASET_DEFINITION name="Constructed_Deck"> <------This is your deck
<DATASET_INCLUSION name="Land"/>
<TEXT filename ="10e_card_text"/>
<TEXT filename ="EVE_card_text"/>
<TEXT filename ="SHM_card_text"/>
<TEXT filename ="LRW_card_text"/>
<TEXT filename ="MOR_card_text"/>
<TEXT filename ="Earlier_card_text"/>
<TEXT filename ="A_card_text"/> <---this and the rest are the TEXT.XML that have your cards descriptions and names
</DATASET_DEFINITION>

</DATASETS>

petitrudy DOTP editor was not our work. i dont know how the names of the cards are handled

[petitrudy]

I have made à custom deck editor

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HPW5MWR6

this is the beta 0.1 i need "beta tester"

Just unzip in your DOTP directory.

It load all cards of all DLC of dotp.

It doesn't put the name, description and avatar deck in PERMANENT_EXPANSION_PACK_COMMUNITY.XML.

You need to put it manually if you would.

Thx for help

beta test complete :p

[petitrudy]

I will fix it this week

Actually there is a way to have your decks displayed ingame.
Lets say you want to add a deck called 1234_PL_YOURDECKNAME.XML (original game uses PL for players decks and AI for computer's) to the game:

1) First of all, VERY VERY IMPORTANT, USE

Code: Select all

<!-- T = Type; Player = 1 - AI = 2 - Challenge = 3 Others = 4+
  C = Content Pack ID (could be any number)
  D = Deck Number in pack (could be any number) -->
  <UID uid="TCCCCDDDD" />
  <DATASET name="COMMUNITY" />

in your deck file;
2) Then open up PERMANENT_EXPANSION_PACK_COMMUNITY.XML (with Excel/Dreamweaver/NotePad++ or similar), since this is the dataset you specified in your deck;
3) If you use a text editor or Dreamweaver look at how other decks are definied and copy/paste from another deck and then correct them using "1234_PL_YOURDECKNAME" and "1234_PL_YOURDECKNAME_DESCRIPTION";
4) If you use Excel, simply follow file structure and add lines for deck name and description;
5) Start the game, unlock new decks via secret menu, play;
6) Be happy!

Usually I had this problem before I undestand how uid works...in case use 7xxxxxxxx or generate it with the deck editor you can find in the wiki.
Hope to be of some help.
