[Card Creation Tool] DotP2013 Card v2 Structure Downloader

[BETenner]

This is a command line helper tool for card creation of DotP 2013 (Card v2 format).
It reads card info from magiccards.info and generate a .xml file in card v2 format.
You still need to adjust some minor places (because the data on magiccards.info is not as perfect as it should be), but it still saves a lot of time for you, especially the multi-language part.

This tool requires Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 or higher to run. You may download and install it from http://www.microsoft.com/net/

If you find any bug or have any suggestion, please post it here so I can fix or upgrade it as best as I can.

Usage:

Code: Select all

dotpcv2sd.exe <edition> <output> [specified-index]

<edition> - Edition initial letters, you may get them from http://magiccards.info/sitemap.html
<output> - Output folder path
[specified-index] - Optional, only download the card with the specified index (card number)

Example:

Code: Select all

dotpcv2sd.exe gtc d:\dotpcards

This will generate all card files for GTC (Gatecrash)

Here is a sample of the generated file:

Code: Select all
