Card Generator Rewrite

Card Data Formatter Script

This C# script is designed to format data for a card game, creating Card Definition Files (CDFs) based on the images in a specified directory.

Usage

1. Edition ID Input:

   • The script begins by prompting the user to enter the edition ID. This is used to locate the directory containing card images.

2. Directory Validation:

   • It validates the path for the existence of the specified card directory. If the directory does not exist, it displays an error message and exits the program.

3. CDF Generation Loop:

   • For each PNG file in the specified directory, the script generates a corresponding CDF file.

4. CDF Data Generation:

   • For each card, it extracts information such as category, description, rarity, and drop weight from the filename and generates a CDF with this information.

5. File Overwriting:

   • The script overwrites any existing CDF files with the updated content.

6. Success Message:

   • After processing all files, it prints a success message.

7. Console Wait:

   • The program waits for user input before closing the console window.

Methods Overview

1. GenerateCdfFile:

   • Takes a card image path and the edition ID as input.
   • Extracts information from the filename and generates CDF data.
   • Writes the CDF data to a file.

2. GenerateCardId:

   • Generates a card ID by converting the filename to lowercase, removing file extensions, parentheses, square brackets, and rarity suffixes, and replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores.

3. GenerateCardName:

   • Generates a card name by removing the rarity suffix, a prefix of consecutive numbers followed by an underscore, replacing underscores with spaces, and capitalizing each word.

4. GetRarityFromFilename:

   • Extracts the rarity level from the filename.

5. GetDropWeight:

   • Assigns a drop weight based on the rarity level.

6. ExtractCategoryAndDescription:

   • Extracts category and description from the filename, capitalizes each word, and assigns them to respective variables.

Image Formatting

• Images are expected to follow the format: n_a_m_e(Category Insert)[Description Insert]_Rarity.png
• The script extracts information from this format to generate CDFs.

Important Notes

• The script is designed to overwrite existing CDF files with updated content.
• It handles variations in the filenames and generates consistent CDFs.

How to Use

1. Run the Script:

   • Execute the script in a C# environment.

2. Enter Edition ID:

   • Provide the edition ID when prompted.

3. Review Output:

   • Check the console output for success messages and any potential errors.

4. CDF Files:

   • Find generated CDF files in the same directory as the script.

5. Adjustments:

   • Modify methods as needed to accommodate specific filename variations or additional data requirements.
