Add superset to set.xml definition files

[GiottoVerducci]

Some games divide their expansion sets into "chapters". The expansion set name is not stored anyway, preventing from regrouping these chapters under the expansion set name.

It would be useful (and really easy) to add the expansion set name in the set definition by adding a "superSet" attribute containing the name of the super-set (to keep it generic).

This attribute would be optional.

Or add it in your set def. you can sort on it in the deck editor that way as well.

does this have any applications outside just having another column in the deck editor? Or is it something you'd want to be able to filter for card searching? We've tossed around ideas for some sort of banlist/legal formats implementation but not sure if this request falls under that umbrella

[kellyelton]

Yeah I agree with graves. Also Brine, legality would be better implemented in a separate format, as opposed to this kind of superset data, at least that's how I always pictured it.

I'm going to close this unless a compelling argument arises.

[brine]

which is why I was asking what kind of applications it would serve.

I mean, if you want to further group sets into larger block structures, then worst case scenario is you just rename your sets into something like 'Genesis Cycle: Cyber Exodus'. This way, when you sort the database by set, they all get matched up.

Brine that wouldn't work, because you can only ever filter by one set.

[kellyelton]

What do you mean? You can select and filter multiple sets in the deck editor.

[brine]

yeah you used to not be able to search multiple sets at a time (operator was forced to AND), then a while ago we fixed it, and during the DB migration the fix was broken again,

[kellyelton]

I fixed it after the db migration

[brine]

oh I see, duh, dunno what I was doing then.

[db0]

Oh yeah, right.
