Add forum code (BBCode) export to Deckbuilder

[lettucemode]

The official forums support showing card previews. It would be cool if there were an option to export decks from the OCTGN deckbuilder in such a way that when pasted into a forum post, the cards showed previews. The card IDs are already in the OCTGN database.

I have been working with Pixelgeek to have the AW forum export into the OCTGN format.

[sIKE23]

I mis-understood this, I like it a lot! I was think that you were wanting to export into sbb format....

Here is the fourm code output for my Priest deck:

[spellbook] [spellbookheader] [spellbookname]Holy Roller[/spellbookname] [mage]Priest[/mage] [/spellbookheader] [spells] [spellclass]Attack[/spellclass] [mwcard=FWA02]1 x Force Hammer[/mwcard] [mwcard=FWA04]1 x Hurl Boulder[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1a09]1 x Jet Stream[/mwcard] [mwcard=MWSTX1CKA01]1 x Surging Wave[/mwcard] [spellclass]Conjuration[/spellclass] [mwcard=mw1j08]1 x Hand of Bim-Shalla[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1j12]2 x Mana Crystal[/mwcard] [mwcard=FWJ08]1 x Renewing Spring[/mwcard] [mwcard=DNW01]1 x Bloodspine Wall[/mwcard] [spellclass]Creature[/spellclass] [mwcard=MWSTX1CKC06]1 x Guardian Angel[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1c20]1 x Highland Unicorn[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1c22]2 x Knight of Westlock[/mwcard] [spellclass]Enchantment[/spellclass] [mwcard=MWSTX1CKE01]1 x Armor Ward[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e01]3 x Bear Strength[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e02]1 x Block[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e05]1 x Cheetah Speed[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e11]1 x Divine Intervention[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e28]2 x Mongoose Agility[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e29]2 x Nullify[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e34]1 x Reverse Attack[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e35]2 x Reverse Magic[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1e36]1 x Rhino Hide[/mwcard] [spellclass]Equipment[/spellclass] [mwcard=mw1q27]1 x Dawnbreaker Ring[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1q06]1 x Dragonscale Hauberk[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1q07]1 x Elemental Cloak[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1q08]1 x Elemental Wand[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1q19]1 x Mage Wand[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1q23]1 x Regrowth Belt[/mwcard] [mwcard=FWQ10]1 x Storm Drake Hide[/mwcard] [mwcard=MWSTX1CKQ01]1 x Sunfire Amulet[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1q29]1 x Staff of Asyra[/mwcard] [spellclass]Incantation[/spellclass] [mwcard=mw1i06]3 x Dispel[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1i07]2 x Dissolve[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1i12]1 x Force Push[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1i17]1 x Minor Heal[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1i24]2 x Seeking Dispel[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1i28]2 x Teleport[/mwcard] [mwcard=mw1i19]1 x Piercing Strike[/mwcard] [/spells] [cost]Total cost: 120 pts[/cost] [/spellbook]

This appears to work...lemme know what you think. This wouldn't be possible if you hadn't taken the time to include the card IDs in the .xml files, so kudos to you for that!

[sIKE23]

Looks really good! Should we say anything about Promo's not be support on the AW website? Other than that stray thought we can place a bow on it and call it done.

[sIKE23]

Spoke to soon, the validator is now calculating spellpoints wrong. Use the Beastmaster (Johktari) as my reference deck and it is now calculating out at 195 spellpoints.

[sIKE23]

This might be the result of my work though with the new Card properties....

[lettucemode]

That's a good catch with the promos, I'll put that in.

I forgot about the changed card properties. Updating the validators for those is on our March list as #27.

[sIKE23]

Maybe add (built by OCTGN SBB) to the title?

[sIKE23]

In my new post I manually added in the above reference so you could see what I was talking about

[lettucemode]

This way looks a bit cleaner to me, what do you think?

[sIKE23]

Perfect!

[lettucemode]

Added a notification for promo cards and added "built by the OCTGN SBB" as shown above.

[sIKE23]

Couple of items, 1 a typo, You muse successfully validate a deck before exporting to a forum post.

Muse = Must

Best Deck NA = OCTGN Deck (I like to advertise)

Not all Promos have a CardID with Promo the first three were just MWPRO so if (Property(card, "Set").Contains("Promo")) will not work all of the time, I noticed as I was using the Dispel Promo for testing, which happens to be MWPRO1.

[lettucemode]

The "Set" field contains which expansion the card came in, for example "Druid vs. Necromancer" or "Core". It is not the CardID field. Right now all the promo cards have a Set of "Promo" so I think the code is fine as-is.

[lettucemode]

Made the requested updates.

[sIKE23]

The first two items are fixed, but it didn't warn me on the Promo in the Spellbook.

One other minor nit since you have to recompile:

text.AppendLine("[mage]A " + card.Name + " book[/mage]");

would you change book to Spellbook, I have added in a Promo Card Spellbook for testing this issue.

[lettucemode]

Done and done.
