DotP 2013 Deck Creator

by **Dysgenics** » 08 Sep 2012, 20:53

I started to get annoyed with the tedious process of setting up a new deck, and doing so manually felt very error prone.

So I made an automated deck creator, figured I'd share it here.

This isn't used for adding cards to a deck, it just creates the initial directory structure and config files, and copies textures to their respective folders with correct variable linking.
Maybe some time this could be modified to be a deck builder, but not in the near future.

To get started on a deck all you need is five textures (avatar, gray avatar, profile, deckbox, preview card), a deck name, and a unique deck ID number; the program will create a deck directory in a DC_OUT folder.
Once the directory is created all that needs to be added/edited are cards and the decklist.

Hope this helps out other people who had similar issues, and feedback/bug reports will always be appreciated.

Generic disclaimer: I whipped up this program to be a simple tool, so it's not especially built to handle exceptions. Just be careful not to overwrite any of your generated content.

Updating with some bug fixes.
Now the Deck name and color representation should work properly.
