Lackey CCG Support?

[Sparth]

Before there are any head scratchers; I want to explain Lackey CCG, as it is not a card game, it's a tabletop client that has existed BEFORE tabletop simulator; a free one that cost no $... except if you owned an Ipad and got this app from the appstore for about 5 bucks... I don't know the full price of it's appstore counterpart so bare with me.

Lackey CCG was the best method to play card games online, for free via home computer including Linux, Windows and Mac. It's... Well, it's primitive, doesn't support 3D models except Mode7; however, it supports multiple players, plays a lot of card games in higher qualities and lower qualities dealing with low-end computers. Setup games to play peer to peer or on the server and to top it off in some respects, has a metric sh*t ton of card games already made by other users, good old ones from the obscure Magi-Nation to the popular Magic the Gathering... and the obscure card gaming developer like yours truly here.

So why am I bringing this up? Lackey is still free for the PC and while this is me poking at just making what they refer to plugins, I'm more poking at a generator to take the fields of the cards in your card game, such as the card name, image or file name, and generate a file to use in Lackey cutting out the more annoying work of having to database every single card in the game into the plugin file... THAT and TTS is still $20!!! There are sales now and then, but there are folks who can't afford sh*t, let alone a ham sandwhich for $5, I'd like to have an alternative for almost anyone to enjoy what I make.

Of course if this is a bit more difficult to actually do; then I'll have to write my own Console application to try and do this myself suppose.

Before I sign off on this question to the developers, this link above is what goes INTO making a LackeyCCG plugin or card game in Lackey; I'm not asking for complete support, I'm more asking if THIS step from the plugins creation can be made easier from card creator.

Hi, there are no plan to support the Lackey CCG client, but the Excel/CSV feature is in the backlog and it seems that program integrates with a workflow importing CSV files, so maybe it's likely that once that feature is done you will be able to create a workflow between the two programs.

Alright, thank you kindly.

Hi, CSV import and export was just added in the latest beta branch update. Maybe that its useful for your case. You can read more about that here:

This may actually work and cut down the time I need for a Lackey Plugin; I'll look into it.

Thanks!
