i dont understand the whole how to make a plug in

[TheBuck]

Well the first thing I have to ask is where are you getting your plug in making info from?

[greasontim]

the plugin creation tutorial

i dont understand the whole how to make a plug in

Can you be more specific? What exactly aren't you understanding?

[greasontim]

Right now the setlist is what im haveing problems with

[mathman1550]

The easiest way to make a setlist is to open a setlist from a similar game and change names around using the names of sets in your game. If there is only one set your setlist will look something like this:
1
carddata.txt

1
Standard
1
SetName
If you have more sets it changes the last number and adds on the additional sets. For example, the Harry Potter setlist is as follows:
1
carddata.txt

1
Standard
5
Base_Set
Quidditch_Cup
Diagon_Alley
Adventures_at_Hogwarts
Chamber_of_Secrets

Try just doing this much. If your sets are divided into categories, like in MTG, then I can help your from there.

Im gonna have different sets in my game
but right now im just trying to get the first set done and playable
so what does each part do?

[Trevor]

All you really need in setlist.txt is the file names the card data is in, after the number of them.

The other parts are for specificying formats, which is not required.

If you have all card data in a single file, you can have setlist.txt just look like:

1
CardData.txt

[greasontim]

is it possible to add more than just
Name, Set, Affiliation, Type, Cost, Power, Defense, Rarity, Text
to carddata.txt ?

[InShaneee]

You can use whatever fields you want, as many as you want, and name them whatever you want.

[greasontim]

sweet so than i can setup this up more the way i want to than
Cause each card has a set amount of Life n the Hero Race effects how many of each Type of summon you can have out at a time

[Trevor]

It should explain all that stuff in the plugin creation tutorial. Just make sure your card data file has the same number of columns as defined in plugininfo.txt.

[greasontim]

I have card info in carddata.txt but no cards show up in the card list in lackey
also anyone know any good card creators?

[mathman1550]

Do you mean people who create cards, or programs that create cards?
If program, MSE is a pretty good progam for creating sets of cards that have a uniform look, though it takes a bit of work to get used to the programming.
