Archidekt to TableTop export cli
Project description
# archiTop Archidekt to TableTop export cli — This project aims to smoothen the export process from a constructed [Magic the Gathering](https://magic.wizards.com/en) card deck in [Archidekt](https://archidekt.com/) to the game [TableTop Simulator](https://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/Tabletop_Simulator/).
## Motivation Currently, third third party tools do exist to aid with this process, but these are neither smooth to use nor do they fulfill all the features that would smoothen the magic experience.
The two most noteworthy alternatives are:
- [Frogtown](https://www.frogtown.me/)
Doesn’t allow to import directly from tabletop, requiring user to export and import
Doesn’t keep track of the card versions used in the deck (basic lands will update to the most recent)
Usage is slow, two step process required to generate and download deck
Doesn’t separate commander cards from main deck
- [Tabletop scryfall importer](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1838051922)
Unexpected behaviour when multiple people import at the same time
Doesn’t include tokens in the exported deck
Doesn’t separate commander cards from main deck
## What does this tool do? This tool converts an Archidekt deck into Tabletop Simulator json format, able to be imported onto any tabletop board. The cards contained, deck-name and thumbnail will be extracted for given Archidekt deck-id.
## Installation The package is being hosted in PyPy, install using pip install architop
## Usage The tool is used via the commandline, runnable with archiTop <deckID>
Additional usage information can be acquired via the help command archiTop -h
### Example Let’s take one of my decks as example. Exporting the deck https://archidekt.com/decks/94674#Maximum_Borkdrive is as simple as copying the deck-id In this case 94674
By running the tool with the given deck-id: archiDekt 94674, archiTop will export the deck as TableTop Simulator compatible file, alongside the thumbnail used for the deck in Archidekt.
Both files created will be named accordingly to the deck name in Archidekt: ![Output Example](https://archi-top.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/architop-output-example.png)
Now all that’s left to do is to move the two files into the TableTop Objects folder. The directory can vary for your Tabletop installation, based on OS.
You can find the path via the Tabletop Simulator game configurations: ![Tabletop Objects](https://archi-top.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/tabletop-save-location.png)
All that’s left to do now is move the two files to the mod save location, in my case ~/Library/TabletopSimulator/Saves/SavedObjects/
Have fun playing 🎉
## Roadmap The current plans for the repository are being tracked via [github issues](https://github.com/Julian-Brendel/archiTop/issues).
