[MOD] Expansion names in card descriptions

[bepoest]

Old idea: Card Expansion Identification

This is an old idea that’s been tossed around before, but can we please get a method of identifying what cards come from what sets/expansion? There’s a ton of cards and the only way someone can figure out what cards go to what is from an external website. I don’t feel like it’s too much to ask for maybe an orb icon in the top right of each card that matches the expansion it came from?

Behold:

To enable this mod, copy the following javascript at the end of your duelyst.js:

function putExpansionNames() {
    var cards = GameDataManager.getInstance().cardsCollection.models;
    for (i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) {
        var card = cards[i].attributes;
        card.description += " (" + card.cardSetName + ")";
    }
}
setTimeout(putExpansionNames, 8000);

If you have trouble, please read @t2k5’s help on how to install script mods here:

Then read this post again.

[MOD] Expansion names in card descriptions

Here you go, a version that put the set name in the tooltip. It turns out it wasn’t so impossible. [image] function putExpansionNames() { var cards = GameDataManager.getInstance().cardsCollection.models; for (i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) { var card = cards[i].attributes; var tag = card.cardSetName; switch (card.cardSetName) { case "Core": tag = "Core"; break; case "ShimZar": …

Niiiice…

Shouldn’t it be in the hover-over box, not the card text itself?

[bepoest]

Could be. I wanted to have the info directly visible during matches though. I don’t think you can hover over card texts in there.

[victorious23]

Kind of odd to have it as a text description, but still a big step up from nothing. I’ll take it!

[anjosustrakr]

Yes you can! I mean the black boxes that appear to the side. It could be like:
Set - Shim’zar
Provoke - bla bla bla.
etc

Also, do you know how Duelyst is coded? What are the cards, for instance? JSONs?

[seraphicreaper]

Did you make this? well done!

[bepoest]

I love your enthusiasm, but this might just turn out outrageously complex to do. I just don’t know at this point.

The game apparently has an array of javascript objects to represent cards. Yes it would map to JSON. You can check this if you are interested (not my code).

[bepoest]

I made this for YOU.

[anjosustrakr]

Wow, that’s cool! Thanks!

            case "Mythron":
                tag = "Trials of Mythron";
                break;
        }

        var tooltip = {"name": tag, "description": ""};
        card.keywordDescriptions.unshift(tooltip);
    }
}
setTimeout(putExpansionNames, 8000);

Huh, this is actually pretty fun, you can embed any sort of HTML in the card description field, and it will render in-game.

…Including iframes of animated gifs.

You’re crafty. And crazy. I admire both qualities…

I hope you already added it to the wiki great job!
