I've started working on a plugin for the new My Little Pony CCG from Enterplay (http://www.enter-play.com/products/mlpccg.html). Not being very familiar with coding, and being easily distracted, I haven't got much so far and will probably be slow at making progress. If anyone would like to help, feel free to let me know.
Here's what I've got for the plugininfo.txt so far:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sZ679vQI_uaqFW1WDU8rK6gvskDX6vpRL4uUIYlkaaY/edit
PonyHead (http://ponyhead.com/) has a full database of the cards' stats, effects, and images. We can download the images and build the database for Lackey if we have to, but perhaps we can get them to give us a packed-up copy of theirs.
This was the tournament at the Uncommons on Monday. The next one is next monday.

Here you go :)

Also, added bonus... The PonyHead deckbuild can now export decks for Lackey! Just scroll to the bottom of a deckbuilder page (http://ponyhead.com/deckbuilder?v1code=1x1-5x1-7x2-8x2-9x1-12x2-13x2-14x2-16x1-20x3-70x2-71x2-73x2-76x2-78x2-79x3-97x3-103x1-107x1-120x1-136x2-140x1-141x2-147x2-158x2-160x2-167x2-168x2-170x2-174x1-176x2-178x1) and click "Download as xml", you can then save it as a .dek file and load it right into Lackey.
Note; I haven't actually had a chance to play a full game with someone yet, but everything seems to be working. Let me know if you run into any issues with the plugin or the exporter.
Niiiiiice!
Much <3s to you, CiderSqueezy!
Hi guys!
I notice neither SilverlightPony or CiderSqueezy have been active since January - Is this project still alive?
Silverlight - If you see this and have mothballed the project, would it be possible for me to take the files from you and continue your work?
CiderSqueezy - would it be possible to have a copy of your database again - the previous link expired?

Yeah, I fell off the project; got distracted by other things.
I never got much done on it in the first place. I got about a page and a half of the plugininfo.txt typed up in gdocs. That's here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sZ679vQI_uaqFW1WDU8rK6gvskDX6vpRL4uUIYlkaaY/edit
I'd like to continue work on a LackeyCCG Plugin, I found another version that was being worked on but dropped back in February and I'll be starting from there as it is already working fine. @Cidersqueezy, could you upload another image dump for me with the canterlot nights images? that would be awesome.
If this is still going I have all pictures and everything laid out in a spreadsheet if anyone needs it, was going to do the coding too but if somepony's already doing that then it saves me some time. If it's not being coded yet please let me know so I can start on it ASAP.
So, I left this topic and come back a month later to no answers but more views.
I want to know if the people looking at this are interested in the plug-in because, I'm a few steps from completing it but, if nobody has interest then I'll just scrap what I have and wait until the next expansion comes out.
Will check back everyday.
So I have everything in place just need to make a few edits and it'll be done.
Thanks Fluttershy! Will you be hosting it somewhere?
Yeah, I can post it wherever it's most convenient for the majority such as Dropbox, Google Drive, GitHub or anything else of the like.
Do you have a Skype so that we can organise a game?
Yes, I do have Skype, and a slight clue as to how to play the game I watched a video on YouTube a while back and have forgotten some of it. As an ex-professional Yu-Gi-Oh and MTG player it should be easy to pick back up. Will post Skype in a D.M. if I can.
To those that waited for so long I thank you as this was my first time touching Lackey in any form.
It's done although it's missing some of the text in the deck builder, but here it is. Enjoy.
I should also add to the ponies that don't know what this is.

This is a pretty convenient crazy random happenstance. I've been working on an MLP CCG template for Magic Set Editor, and I'm at the stage where I'm working on getting it to export to being able to use in various card game simulators. So far, the only other one I've been able to find with an MLP CCG game plugin made is OCTGN, but it looks like I can make one for Lackey now as well. What kind of stuff do the set files need for Lackey to use them? Do they need to be in any particular format?
Here's my latest update on the template, if you're curious: http://abion47.deviantart.com/art/Final-Update-Maybe-472761072
I'm using Google docs spreadsheet for faster edits http://puu.sh/aNc6c/4595414fe2.png (http://puu.sh/aNc6c/4595414fe2.png) then copying what's inside that to the Lackey carddata.txt and carddata.csv http://puu.sh/aNc03/72e3c707e2.png (http://puu.sh/aNc03/72e3c707e2.png) then running Lackey to see what needs to be fixed.
Other than that the images I pulled from the mlpccg wiki and scaled then to be uniform with the card back of Lackey minus the Problem cards which are done the other way since they maintain their sideways status at all times.
Also, I'm by no means a professional at Lackey as the mlpccg plugin was my first attempt and I never got the card text to align right in the deck builder, but for what it's worth it works none the less, I suppose.
Also, so you know, I'll be adding the Rock 'n' Rave cards to Lackey in a few days.
Hope this helped and if you have more questions that might need an answer I'm always here, twitter @Raeonn (https://twitter.com/Raeonn) or on skype as Raeonn Leetshifter.
Thanks for your efforts on this!
Out of curiosity, is there any chance you could setup an update list for those of us using the iPad or mac versions of the software?
Instructions on how to do so are here: http://lackeyccg.com/tutorialplugin.html#updatelist (http://lackeyccg.com/tutorialplugin.html#updatelist)
I see there's a superior solution, but I was just working on a plugin for the same thing (just reg'd on the forums) and while working on an update list earlier found that the images are all on here http://mlpccg.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Collectible_Card_Game_Wiki It's way less pretty than a nice deck download, but you can copy the URLs for eac of those images and paste them into your updatelist.txt and Lackey will download from there. They're all 300x419 which is close to a good size for the card viewer.

I looked at your dropbox files. I think it'd make more sense to call the initial release 'Premiere' (PRM/PR?) than BaseSet.
My issue right now is that my updatelist.txt isn't working. I plug the url into lackey and it tells me "unable to download a valid updatelist.txt" It's good to go other than that and some text issues that don't really matter though.
Nice work on the whole, by the way. I checked (tried using the dropbox url for your updatelist.txt) and yeah, I see that error message too. Any chance it's just because you're trying to download from Dropbox?
It might be. Know anywhere else I can put the files 'cause if so then I can post them there and fix the update asap.
Not sure. I tried it putting the file in my google drive and that didn't work either... The easiest way, for now at least, is probably for people to just download it all as a zip from your dropbox and unzip it and move the files to lackey's install folder. It looks like ~20mb download.
Edit:
I tried uploading the updatelist.txt to some space I have on my college's servers (each student has a little bit of website space) and Lackey seemed to be able to get the file from there. However, it never downloaded the card images from Dropbox (only got 3.6mb of the files) and when I tried to load the plugin it caused Lackey to crash.
I suspect part of the download problem is that dropbox doesn't actually have folders that you can look at (not 100% sure) and so there isn't really a valid general url you can use for the cards.
Note how the URLs differ for the two side of CLN rainbow dash:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k1p76wdqfzg0syu/AADb_3n6CXSPnT-LPE4aw3qUa/CLN001B.jpg
while your card general url is:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k1p76wdqfzg0syu/AACGcPZonkCQvYrP9k8zGsEGa
I think what the issue is is that I don't think Dropbox has download links that point directly to the files. That is, if you were to click the download link, Dropbox would take you to a page first where you would then click a button to download the files. You could try uploading the images to an image sharing site like photobucket or imgur that do have direct download links.
@Abion47 That might work (if all the files are stored in a folder hierarchy like this -> folder\filename1, folder\filename2), but then the plugin author here would have to go and type (copy/paste) a separate line for each card I think. In which case you could do the same with dropbox if you want to laboriously copy each link (in that case you'd probably want to use the CardURLFiles approach).
The easiest solution is a good old FTP site or a free website service where you can upload your own files (that has room for them) andyou can set up the desired/ideal folder structure or simply to offer the entire plugin for download.
On the other hand, as long as the card images/card data doesn't need to change you could offer a zip file of the changed plugin files minus the card sets. In fact if you're okay forcing people to download the cards separately then you can just omit the cards from the updatelist.txt altogether.
P.S.
It'd be nice there were the following additional options for format: BaseSet, CLN, BaseSet+CLN rather than simply Main Game.
