[QUOTE="eloquentaction, post: 4664267, member: 70399"] As usual, the Ewok has said it best. I've completed about half of the Deck Splitter. But he's right; it's going to split the deck based on class name, card type and a few other criteria. It will, by no means, be a perfect split. Short of having a human run through the deck manually and then being double checked by several people; there's no way to make a perfect set of split decks. Not to mention the fact that the maintenance would be mind numbing. It's an overhead that a volunteer-based system just isn't going to handle easily. This is the main reason I felt an automated splitter was the best option; because it takes no effort from our fantastically talented yet very limited time-wise volunteers. Right now, the splitter de-zips the deck, reads the header, modifies the header as appropriate for the type it's making, creates a new file based on the criteria and splits the deck apart by card. It currently is waiting on the logic to tell which card belongs in which deck and then the logic to re-assemble the mini-decks back as 'set' files then into appropriately named (zipped) .mse-set files. Right now, if it can't understand the deck (because it's a non-UCS deck, for example) - it gets pissy and throws all the cards into an 'Other' deck. I don't think I want to throw in the logic to convert other decks into a UCS compatible deck, so I'll probably keep this logic. Also - it's written in my language of choice: C# on the .NET platform. That means it won't run on Linux or on the Apple. If you want to run it, use WINE and don't whine to me about wanting it compatible, because it's not going to happen. -- Hirahito [/QUOTE]
