can we add columns to the allsets files? #26

since some changes are being made can i propose a new column for expansion number, it really makes deck building easier.

Just out of curiosity, how does it make it easier? Is it because it makes it easier to see the latest, and then previous expansion, or is it something else?

ChrisMoExp commented 3 years ago

in my new hack on allsets i've got 3 additional columns:

ExNum - the number of each expansion - so i can filter in Lackey to ExNum < 11 to get all the WOTC sets, which is handy for building decks wiht the actual cards i have. Also useful for previous tournaments wher we went up to the first 12 expansions. Was useful during the beginners league to filter up to whatever set we were up to.

Era - I've only got values for TOR and CW, but i'm using the TOR one for the new tournament, so i have just those 4 expansions and i can build a deck form that pool. I can't imagine how people do it without this tbh. If this was adopted as a column then it would be possible to add TOR to individual cards in the pool for, say, JEDI, where a few cards are clearly TOR but many others are OT or other eras. could eb multi value in here as well, eg "OT, Rebellion" then can filter to contains "Rebellion" and see those and others from rebellion era expansions.

owned - how many of a particular card i own, so i can see how many of a card i can put in a deck i'm planning on actually physically building. (I only populate for WOTC cards so far but now i'm starting to print I might update it for those aswell.)

In addition to @ChrisMoExp 's columns, I'd like to suggest adding a column for flavor text. I'm working on a project right now to automatically generate card images from the Lackey sets files, and the early results are promising. Conversely, it could also be used to generate a Lackey set file from the card PSDs (may be useful for when new expansions are added).

@ChrisMoExp I like the ExNum and Era column ideas.

I worry about the owned column because the values would be reset after every update.

@haec0007 That will be a LOT of work to add all of those, but I think it could be cool! I'm also excited to see this project of yours!
