Yeah - I'll add 10 special icons and 10 user defined card types. That way we shouldn't run out of room too fast. I've already taken my icons, added the beast icons, and made them into a symbol-font. One of my 'to-do's is to standardize the damage symbols based on the ones Mercutio and Black...

Yep, those were already defined. I added: - source. Where the card came from. - name. Renamed to 'card name'. - super_type. Renamed to 'class race'. - sub_type. Renamed to 'power type'. - card type. This is the basis for what color the card will be. Since each set might want to define...

That's a much improved set, Thindariel. I'll take some of your ideas and incorporate them into the Universal Card Set Project. One thing that's stumping me is the Set Style Definitions. Those are defined in the GAME file, but each set is most likely going to want to do their own. I'm...

Short version... "Yes". Long version... "but it needs to be modified to match whatever the new format is going to be. Before I can do that, we need to come up with what the new format is going to *BE*." Thus my current effort: Coming up with version 0.1a of the Unified Card Project GAME...

Version 5 is getting hacked up to support the new 4E Common Game Project. I'll most likely put version 4.3 out on my site in the next few days. Version 5 will still be released, but most likely will get split up into: * Card set * Flat Text Reader * Several (much simpler) card templates...

FYI... I sent you an e-mail to your primary account. Just to reiterate my main point: I'm interested. Yell if you didn't get my e-mail. -- Hirahito

We're (or at least *I*) am talking about two different projects. They are both posted on this long-ass thread because they both pertain to power cards. The first project is an attempt to standardize the GAME file used for all (or at least most) of the 4E cards. This would allow us to do the...

I'm going to piece together the first draft of a 'common' GAME file and then throw it up on my site here. Game developers, please download it and take a look to see if there's anything you think should be changed. Remember, this is to be generic for all 4E sets going forward so it won't have...

GAME file standards shouldn't cover looks and style. The card backgrounds (leather, wood, stone, etc.) should not be in the game file. The only reason the card color is in the GAME file is because it's germane to the type of card. Perhaps we should abstract the card color into the card types...

I'm willing to do this. But it would take more than myself to make this a 'standard'. We'd also need people like Ander to respond and re-release his set on the new standard. Ander lurks here, but I'm not sure if he's willing to change his set. Basically, it would mean the developers would...

I'm fairly certain that the XML output from DDI isn't finished yet. Once it is, you create an XSD from it and C# auto-generates an interface based on the XSD. The interface allows you to read / write from the XML like it was a datasource. I've already looked into this and it's extremely easy...

Dennis - Not sure on how to post your stuff here, I went and got my own site to post my stuff up there (was running into size restrictions... (that's what SHE said...) and they weren't letting me put things up they way I wanted). As far as moving to MSE, I would suggest d/l'ing a few of the...

PM me here on ENWorld. I'll get you my contact info. I won't be able to start until version 5 is out the door (read a week or two). And we should probably wait till they finalize the DnDI generator a bit more. But we can get started on the raw basics of it. The 'proof of concept', as it...

Sure thing. I'll try and get the new site up in the next few days. -- Hirahito

I'm a C# programmer. I have a few libraries that let me rip apart PDF's and reassemble them as I desire. So, the plan would be to place tags inside the PDF like {STR:BASE}, {STR:BASEMOD}, {STR:FINAL}, {STR:FINALMOD} and so forth. My program would rip apart the PDF and replace these tags with...

Can anyone send an e-mail to them? I currently use this Excel sheet for the game I'm DM'ing and I'd like to know if I need to hunt for a new one that has even half the features, but is continued to be supported. -- Hirahito

I always take the time to credit the people that added to the project in my header files. (Only the coders see them, but only coders really need to, don't they?) That's all it takes to make most people happy. And... amazingly enough I have been toying with a .NET C# program that would take...

It's interesting to note that I'm using much the same technique for my new Version 5. The backgrounds, background images, headers and icons all use masks and base images. I didn't steal this idea from you Thin, but it seems like both of us were moved towards the same conclusions. I got where...

It is taking a while, isn't it? My apologies for that. Since it is taking so long, I'm most likely going to throw up the new website with the older version 4.3 set of mine. I haven't dropped version 5. I've been extremely busy due to the Holidays and I've seen a lot of set designers taking...

I sit corrected! Sorry, I thought you were using MSE... -- Hirahito
