It seams there are differences between expansion name you use and expansion name used into lackey.
So some cards can't be read into lackey.

COuld you change or substitue expansion name to export in lackey format?

If you can , pls send me by mp all expansion name you use and i'll send you in return the named used into lackey

Thanks by advance

ps : for example
deckbuilder :
<card><name id="F50">Long-Dead Prince</name><set>AAD</set>
<card><name id="F40">Cursed Skull</name><set>YME</set>

lackey
<card><name id="F50">Long-Dead Prince, Ancient Royalty</name><set>STD</set></card>
<card><name id="F40">Cursed Skull</name><set>TYC</set></card>

i also can send you database with name + set i use for the pluggin

Actually the deckbuilder can't save cthulhu deck. There are members want to use deckbuilder to make cthulhu deck ?

hmm, thought I responded to this. Anyway, it doesn't surprise me at all that the lackey stuff doesn't work as the plugin for lackey was abandoned the last I saw. If you've restarted it I can try to sync up the versions. What you see currently exported for Lackey is using the previous plugins set codes which frankly didn't make any sense.

It would be great if we could somehow get in sync or figure out a system where we don't have to constantly check with each other to see what our abbreviations are. What I would normally use to denote a set a card came from is the initials of that asylum pack or the word "Core" if it is the core set. So for example Bloodthirsty Zealot (TSotS) from The Spawn of the Sleeper would be denoted by TSotS.

the name i use for the database are all from nyarlazorbec deckbuilder and he use exactly the name of the real card to make his database.

Actually more and more players are using the plugin i modified.
Some players are using nyarlazorbec's deckbuilder , some are using lackey deckbuilder, so if there are members interesting to play cthulhu online on this forum, maybe you could update the export for the new plugin.

The main difference between Nyarla export and yours, is nyarla's export is a file .txt with name and qty of each card and your export is a file .dek with extension, name and qty.
Both files are read by lackey.

So I can do a control between the 2 databases if you send me an excel file with names but it will be harder to have same extension name like you : if i change name extension i need to change name images folders so i need to make a big update.
Maybe if you manage to make an export in a file .txt like Nyarla, it will be easiest for everyone.

this how the file looks: (domain is for using domain card and thoses 3 names are default domain cards, but we can change it in lackey)

Thanks a lot for your answer

So lackey can read just a straight txt file and doesn't need the set names? hmm, in that case then I'll try to emulate that as for the most part our card names should be the same I think. It'll take me alittle while to get to it as I'm in the middle of some Netrunner and Lord of the Rings stuff right now but I'll put it on my list.

Ok thanks and feel free to send me a list of card name in case there are some differences

Thanks to support Cthulhu

@ Darksbane :I'm back in Coc world, so as seeker is available here, could you send me a file with card data (name/ icon/text). If you can just send me an excel (or text file with tab for data), i'll update lackey.

I try to convert your html page into valid data but it's really a pain !
Many thanks by advance
