SoulStorm's Deck Factory 3.1 (Updated 1-23-2013)

[RiiakShiNal]

The game will only read from 1 APPID_LINKING.TXT file so if you changed one that the game is not reading from then it will make no difference. The one in DATA_CORE is overridden by everything so if you changed that one more than likely some other WAD's APPID_LINKING.TXT file is being used instead.

The Community DLC has an APPID_LINKING.TXT in it that most people don't realize is there and it has been known to cause issues until that APPID_LINKING.TXT is removed. If you have Data_DLC_8192_AppId_Linking.wad (and that wasn't the one you changed) then that could also be the problem.

My problem is should I try removing that Data_DLC-8192_AppID_linking.wad, then all the decks from that mod get locked. (their unlockables that is.) Do I have to guess which APPID_LINKING.TXT file the game is using? Should I perhaps overwrite everything to the Data_CORE APP_ID.txt?
I don't understand, it should be simple enough, I've opened at least 3 or 4 different App_ID.tx files, added deck names with their UIDS and 97330, nothing seems to work.

You just need to make sure that which ever APPID_LINKING.TXT you are using contains entries for all decks (you can copy entries from one APPID_LINKING.TXT to another as they are just text files). If the entries from Data_DLC_8192_AppId_Linking are copied to the APPID_LINKING.TXT that is being used then you can safely delete Data_DLC_8192_AppId_Linking.wad (when I first made it it contained all necessary entries, but there have been plenty of decks from other modders released since then). The only reason Data_DLC_8192_AppId_Linking.wad serves is for the APPID_LINKING.TXT and it can be modified or deleted as necessary pretty easily.

I see, thank you for your time. I can't seem to be able to find which APPID_LINKING.TXT my game is using, maybe unistalling it and reinstalling will make it easier seeing there will only be one, thus i will know which one to edit.

It's been a long time since this was originally posted, but I was wondering if it would be possible to send or link me a copy of this file; I've been playing Magic 2013 and I'd love to give it a try.

Can anyone share a working link for Deck Factory 3.1? I would like to try this custom DLC but it seems all the links have expired long ago.

I have uploaded Deck Factory 3.1 from a backup that I kept. You can find it here:

Thanks for sharing this custom mod and the other two mods. I came across this forum relatively late (around 2017 I think) for the first time. By that time many links for custom decks of Dotp 2013 already expired. Also thanks for the deck builder tools that you have made for both Dotp 2013 and Dotp 2014. I had a lot fun creating my own decks with them.
