HQ Card Gen database update utility
Posted: 04 Apr 2012, 20:27
I wanted to generate some proxies from the Dark Ascension series. While the latest patch adds the symbols, it didn't update the cards.csv file with the new cards. At first I just added in manually the cards that I needed. Then I started to think that it would be easier to just do a batch conversion from the csv file provided by the Gatherer Downloader. The result is I made a little utility that can convert from one CSV to the other. I compared it to the new cards.csv that comes with ProxyGen and it was pretty close. Some of the differences were actually errors in the cards.csv file.
I've added the ability to specify the input and output files and externalized some of the configuration files. A lot more that could be done with this. I am including the source code (written in C#) as well as the binary. It isn't optimized, and pretty much just a brute force conversion, but the results are very fast.
See the readme.txt for more information.
Converts the CSV file output from GathererDownloader to the format of the cards.csv used by HQ Proxy Card Generator. Appends to the cards.csv output file if it exists.
Usage: GatherToHQCG.exe [gather.csv] [cards.csv]
Where
Use the GathererDownloader to only download the specific sets you want to add to your cards.csv. Alternatively you can recreate the entire cards.csv by renaming it first.
There are two support files that contain all the information necessary to support through Dark Ascension.
