Easiest way to import cards?

[Manne]

Hi TTS!.

Just wondering what is the easiest way to import a card game?
I have a PDF file with all the cards in it and want to upload them into the game.

Do I have to make every single card it's own Jpeg and upload it online and then import it into the game or is there an easier way?

Decks of cards are in a 7x10 grid, (10x7?) 10 across and 7 down. When you import it you import a jpg or png, that's got 69 card fronts in the first 69 spaces, and 1 hidden card in the 70th place. You also give it one image for the back side. Lastly you tell it how many cards are in your deck.

I've found the easiest way to do this is to use Andrew's Deck Builder (you can find a link to it in one of the pinned threads on the Workshop Discussions subforum). It will allow you to easily make your decks, which you then export and save on a photosharing site, and then import via url.

Thank you for the advice. I can't work out what im doing in Andrews Deck builder though.

New deck - Add cards - browse to your cards and add them. It will start putting them across, and then down to the next row, etc. Then you want to export the file, which will make a sheet of cards.

Side note, your purple butterfly is prettier than my purple butterfly. I am jealous. =)

I've been using this avatar for 12 years.

But my Cards are in a .pdf sheet and there are 300 of them. Is there an easy way to import them into Deck Builder, or will I have to make all of them .jpeg/.png?

You'll probably have to make them all image files. Unless you can crop the pdf to sections of 10 cards by 7 cards with no extraneous white space, and just save that as a jpg.
