How to generate the modded files

Untested on other machines, you might have some dependency issues. Probably Linux only.

When the game has updated and you haven't installed the mod, run "./get_original_files.sh".

Then to generate the release files, run "./make_release_files.sh"

Current features

Numbered card effects separated by single newlines
Certain verbose properties are changed to tags written at the start of an effect as "TAG1 | TAG2 | ...": OPT (soft once per turn), HOPT (hard once per turn), QUICK (quick effect), X PHASE/YOUR X PHASE/OPP'S X PHASE (effect that can only be activated during a certain phase),
Effect activation costs (clauses before a semicolon) are bolded. Conditions (clauses before a colon) are currently unformatted, because I tried italics and it looked too noisy.
"Graveyard" is always abbreviated to "GY"
keywords are uppercased: X SUMMON(S/ING/ED...), DESTROY(...), NEGATE, DISCARD, QUICK EFFECT, HANDsdeck, BANISH(...), EXCAVATE(...), DRAW(...), PIERCING
Useless text "DESTROYED by battle or card effect(s)" shortened to "DESTROYED"
Certain verbose actions/properties are reworded:

original	reworded
Add X from your deck to your hand	SEARCH X
Add X from your deck or GY to your hand	SEARCH X (from DECK or GY)
Return X (from the field) to the hand	BOUNCE x
Returned to the hand	BOUNCED
Send X from the top of your deck to the GY	MILL X
If X attacks a defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage	X is PIERCING
If X attacks a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of the equipped monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage	X is PIERCING

Note: Sometimes, certain effects are "unregistered" in masterduel (they have no in-duel highlight). When those are one-sentence (or in certain cases 2), they are processed by this mod, but when there are multiple sentences they are mostly unprocessed as the logic to separate them into discrete effects is not implemented yet (and probably would be fairly complex to implement).

Those unregistered effects still have the rewords in the above table, keyword uppercasing, activation cost bolding, "Graveyard" replaced to "GY", and "destroyed by battle or card effect(s)" shortened to "destroyed". They don't have effect tags (QUICK, X PHASE, OPT, HOPT).
