DOTP 2013 Card Templater

[kevlahnota]

Hi, This is my card template maker for DOTP 2013. It is still in beta status.

The database is in Access converted from gatherer extractor(up to M13).



How to use:

Type name of the card and hit enter(the text box in pink color).

Edit the values if you want then hit generate.

Export button saves the XML files in CM_OUT folder(it will be auto created at the application startup path)

This tool comes with auto subtype numbering (for localization, thanks to thefiremind ), and more_info badge tag for basic abilities, auto smart quotes and italicization for some cards.

It cannot parse the ability tag correctly for some cards (you need to edit them if the ability is static, triggered or utility)

Also english cards can be produced at the moment.

I certainly don't mean to toot my own horn, but I've "pregenerated" XMLs for all cards for all blocks, files are available in this thread :
viewtopic.php?f=63&t=7698

These XMLs contain text for all languages (when available), and basic characteristics.

Your generator is excellent work, and very easy to use, but I see many people creating english only cards, and I think it's a bit of a shame, since everything but scripting is basically already done

I think you did an amazing job with that and since you uploaded the xmls coding has become so much more convenient for me (i used the old deck editor to make templates and filled in the missing information by myself ). But i think your thread got a little lost in the fast moving programming talk board, so either it should be moved to utilities or get stickied, because i think many people just didn't know about your great work!
