Tools to make iPad-compliant decks

[j6m6w6]

has anyone gotten this to work?

I'm in real need of this... Any info???

[j6m6w6]

I figured it out! drag the png's onto the make.bat, I was dragging to the .exe files. you will have to hex edit everything except the card art to enable transparency. but u can use a free hex editor to do that. also I did install the imagemagick progam that is linked on the first page. everything seems to be working fine now. I made 2 decks and all artwork is there!

I don't suppose you could either link me to those decks you've made.. Or just a step by step as I've extracted the txd to make png. Then repacked. Placed the wad on my ipad and its not showing. I'm a total noob at hex. Never done it.

Convert PC tdx to png with gibbed tools
Convert png to ipad tdx with emashzed tools by dragging png onto make.bat
Hex the new tdx, on the first line under 08 change to 88, then under 09 change to 05, then save
Then put tdx files where they need to be bad repack the wad.
Also make sure u install imagemagick that's linked on the first page, not sure what it does really but I installed it and everything seems to work fine.
As for the hex edit, open an original tdx from a fresh wad to see where u need to put 88 05 if your unsure.
I will try to upload my decks later.

Thanks.. I'll do this tomorrow after work. Found some great decks on here I wanna play on my ipad... Will be interesting to see them. I love TFM's rat deck...

Made it irl as well .

Thanks for the step by step

NP, I also posted my decks, in a separate post.

[Rickycoe123]

Thanks. Ive got them... looking good. i like the mono black deck. i will go home tonight and start checking out some decks

[Rickycoe123]

Just a quickie... do i need to hex all the txd files??

[Rickycoe123]

Ok... after dropping the PNG into the make.bat... i get bitmap pics... im sure i should be getting some new txds?

ive taken the files to work... i will try from there.

Images for card art need no hex editing. deck boxes, preview cards, and avatars need to be changed. As for the tdx, the bitmap should automatically change to a tdx. Make sure you installed the imagemagick program, not sure if that's the cause but just to be sure. That's all I can think of, it took me about a month of dragging pngs onto the damn .exe's before I accidentally dropped it on the make.bat, after that everything went fine. lol! Hope you figure it out, I love having my own custom stuff in the iPad, much more comfortable to play in bed rather than slouching in front of the PC! : )

i envy you. id rather have my own decks then play the ever simple 'stock' decks.

So having ImagemagikDisplay installed... the only TXD are the ones i found are in:
DECK_199924_ST\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\ART_ASSETS\TEXTURES\DECKS. Im guessing thats the ones. Dropping them into convert txd. then after getting the png i swap them in the make.bat resulting in .bitmap ..

this is the most irritating.

So after converting to bitmap... i should be able to repack with them or do they need to be txd?..

Here are my steps..

unpack the wad.

Travel to Deck_199924_ST_unpacked\DATA_DECKS\DECK_199924_ST\DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS\ART_ASSETS\TEXTURES\DECKS.

convert the original TDX with Gibbed TXD convert making .png files.

the after that im stuck... ill screenshot you tonight.

[j6m6w6]

by dragging the png on the make.bat it should convert to bitmap then to tdx. imagemagick also needs Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) or Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)to run. make sure that you install the appropriate one for your system. there is a link to them at the bottom of the link on the first page, where you downloaded imagemagick. hope all this helps, like I said it took me a while to figure all this out on my own, but it does work once you get the hang of everything.

[Rickycoe123]

yeah i have all the programs needed.... imagemagic program.. it just sucks i can get the .bitmap to change to txd....

after creating the bitmap... shall i drop them back into the make.bat??

so it goes txd->.png->.bitmap->txd?
