Work in progress : DOTP Cards Explorer
by logoliv » 19 Sep 2010, 11:39
Hi all !
Here's a screenshot of my first C# application, to explore all existing DOTP cards and help making decks : DOTP Cards Explorer.
It retrieves all cards informations directly in DATA folders and it's fast (less than 1 sec to list all DATA_DLC_1111 cards). To find a card more easily, list columns are sortable too
Next thing to implement is database storage, to select all cards that contain a keyword in their rules for example...
I'll keep you informed of progress

Outstanding!
This is the missing link to get everyone involved into building customizable decks!
Also, you guys can concentrate on coding new cards and won't have to worry about making decks. we'll be able to see all the great decks that everyone can make using
the new cards that have & will be created!
I can't wait!

Thanks all
You'll just need to be patient because the application is just in development phase and there's still a lot of work to finalize it ! I don't have so much time either...
Things to implement :
1) store illustrations references in database (for the moment, only dueltime texts are stored)
2) assign priorities to DATA folders reading like in DOTP (to eliminate duplicates)
3) store all cards in database (less memory needed for the app and quick selection of cards using rules keywords filter)
4) open decks
That's all for the moment

Now that is a fantastic job really (thought i didn't get the link to download, it already looks like top-class work).
Are you displaying the TDX art file btw ?
Looking forward to the release mate

Thanks Reyo for supporting my work
Yes it displays TDX pictures found in Illustrations folders.
In fact, it takes all informations in the real game files and store them in a database to have fast access when loading cards list and avoid duplicates.
I've done the 3 first points from my last post, now it reacts like DOTP when something is missing (for example with Arcane denial). I won't do the "open deck" part because it isn't valuable, we have DOTP to open decks lol
Things to implement :
1) Hybrid mana display (I've seen Wilt Leaf Cavaliers and I think there'll be a lot of hybrid cards very soon...)
2) Selection of cards using rules keywords (like Gatherer)
Here's another screen to make you wait guys :

Sweet. So once you get the Exploring part finished, will we be able to make and save decks?
Could this be a frontend to a card creator/editor?

Man, I hope so!
With all the great new cards added in from all the mods, this would make creating our own decks viable & easy to do.
It looks great logoliv, great job!

A lot of thanks for your support
As the name "DOTP Cards Explorer" says, it will remain a cards viewer, sorry guys... To edit decks and make cards, we already have a very efficient tool, it's called Notepad
The purpose of my application is to help making decks with all the cards available, and to find cards which have same abilities as a card we want to code (to look directly in the good xml files).
It's also great to check repository consistency too : some cards have already been coded and are redone using another <TITLE> text (Ob Nixilis & Ulamog for example)...

It will still make creating decks, even if we use notepad, easier to do.
Finding what cards are available & getting their proper name to include in an xml file will be WAY easier then it is now.

Did this ever get finished? You wouldn't happen to mind sharing the code on how you create the images from scratch. I am working on a card viewer/deck editor.
