.TDX Art File?

[BloodReyvyn]

Probably pretty newb of me to ask, but I've never seen this file format before. What kind of file is this and how do I go about making them?

I have created a fully-working Nearheath Pilgrim, though it has no art on the card. Being a stickler for details, I can't have that, and besides I need a custom personality and deck box, etc. so yeah.

Heh, any and all responses welcome, and for reading, a gift lol...

Those tutorials were made for DotP2012 but they still work for DotP2013, except for the deck box which is smaller on 2013 (scroll down and you'll find links to new templates), and you don't need to make frames because it already has all the frames it can use (if you add different ones, you can't tell the game to use them).

I kind of figured it out by trial and error, and I totally overlooked the conversion tool in GibbedTools.

Thanks for the links though. It will definitely eliminate a lot of guess work.
