Create deck while setting hidden back image

[coljac]

Firstly, this code is excellent and super useful.

The issue: when creating a custom deck manually, unless the "Back is Hidden" box is checked (counterintuitively), the last card image on the sheet is used as the hidden back, so that in hands or if hide_when_face_down is true the true card back is hidden.

This doesn't seem to be the case with Decks imported with Decker; is this a bug or feature, and if so how would I work around it? There's nothing obvious in the TTS API, or in the JSON representations of the respective objects.

I can't exactly reproduce the issue, because I think decks aren;t really behaving as explained in your post :)

With a deck with single back image:

• if "Back is Hidden" is unchecked, the last image on faces sheet will be used as a "hidden card" - this image will display instead of a face when card enters a hand, but the back will still be visible
• if "Back is Hidden" is checked, instead of using the last image, back shows in place of faces - we simply see card back on both sidees

With a deck with "unique backs" and a image sheet for backs:

• if "Back is Hidden" is unchecked, both faces and backs will display the last image in their sheets when in hand - this is the only way to truly hide card backs
• if "Back is Hidden" is checked, card will show its unique back image in place of its front

I've created a save with all 4 combinations (unqiueBack/hiddenBack) decks imported and spawned by decker - if those would act any different between imported/ecker counterparts, please let me know :) You have to check the "hands" toggle on each decker-spawned card to put it in a hand for testing - but that's a different issue...

Thanks for the speedy reply, this is helpful.

I may try and reproduce, but I had card sheets that were only partially populated and ended up with blank hidden faces, even when the last card on the sheet was the hidden card face. Once I generated sheets with the hidden card face in every blank space, this issue was resolved. I'm not quite sure what was going on here, but after I did this everything worked as above (and it was easy to discard any extras with Decker).

Yes, I modified the 'hand' flag easily enough. I've used decals to hide the backs in situations where the game doesn't do it automatically.

Using Decker I've now got our game fully imported and it works great, thanks again.
