Whos willing to make me a deck i can convert to ipad?

[Rickycoe123]

Hey guys,

I've made a deck which works on magic 2014.. but when i go to open it with gibbed tools, it doesn't like giving me the xmls or TDX's..

I have been in contact with RiiakShiNal and he said it wont happen as the dlc have not be converted... Which is slightly annoying.

I have attached a deck list... and a readme with the dlc it contains.

If someone knows a way how to do this, Please either continue this thread or can you email me?

Thanks guys in advance.

I have no problem unpacking this WAD with Gibbed Tools. It doesn't contain any card XML or TDX because it depends on other mods for them. Either you make an iPad conversion of all the mods it depends on, or you pick only the cards you need from those mods and copy them to your WAD, so you can convert only what you need. However the latter approach would require to copy also the FUNCTIONS and TEXT_PERMANENT folders from the other mods if you want to be sure that all the cards work (I guess that compatibility with future updates of the involved mods won't be a problem for you since you don't seem to be interested in having the whole mods on iPad, right?).

What's necessary for making a WAD iPad compliant? I've made a single WAD with the cards, art, funcitons and text_permanent content this user wanted, but I haven't been able to find information about converting it for iPad. It's not something I've bother to look into before, since I have a Kindle

I don't think it's all in one place. The Firemind compiled some of the important threads in a different thread:

I can't help you step by step because I never tried myself, but if you searched a bit through the forums you would have found this:

and you may also need to know this:

and this:

Don't expect everything to turn out right on the first try, we are all working with undocumented material.

That is what I told him though using different words.

Well, the main thing is changing all the TDXs to use an iPad compliant format (seems to be PVR with a changed header, it has been reported that image size must be 512x512). Beyond that there is a slight difference in what is recommended for the DECK tags, on iPad it is recommended to use content_pack="0" as the content pack enabling XML doesn't seem to work on iPad. We also don't know what ID should be used for ios_id_1 and ios_id_2 to make the unlocks available by default.

Ok well this unfortunately seems beyond me. Without an iPad to test it on, I'm kind of working in the dark to begin with. Not to mention I haven't used a hex editor since I was in high school, heh.

I'll gladly include what I have done so far though, since it might help someone else. This was includes the functions, text_permanent files, card XML and pc-compliant TDX files.

• content_pack="0"
• “always_available="true"" deleted

I had assume conversion was an understood process. Guess not

Thanx Rari,
i tried it but it doesn't work. I can't see the deck in the game. I have other custom decks on my iPad, so maybe there is a conflict...i don't know. If it can be of any help I noticed that the other decks have the format name like this DATA_DLC_TFM_D_Deck_Name.WAD
I don't know if it's case sensitive...

[Rari]

Again, the link I supplied is not an iPad compliant file - It is a single package of the files you wanted. There is information above my post about how to convert it, it has nothing to do with the file name. I do am not familiar enough with the process to do it for you nor do I have an iPad to test it on. Sorry I can't be more help

Im in the middle of converting the supplied rar. (thanks btw)

[Rickycoe123]

ok,

So now i have forgotten how to convert the tdx into a png then back into a ipad compliant tdx either its broken or im just tooooo silly to be living on this earth!

ill come back and find out whats going out with this!
