i have been trying to get custom cards to load in game but have been unsucessful no matter where i put the files or settings i turn on and off.
the customs folder mentioned in the pins doesnt exist by default now and doesnt function when i create it, it seems.
some source implied custom was removed and to just use cardsfolder but thats not working either. my custom set shows up but i cant get any card to load into it.

I don't think those are the right directories
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Forge\custom\cards
#custom-cards message
This is the pin in custom cards
Once you open your Forge user directory
Which is typically here for windows users
you can create custom and cards and editions

`C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Forge\custom\cards`
i tried finding this in my appdata before and it wasnt there and today it is

sorry X yugioh player here
rich harness
haha
celest bramble
im still in recovery
rich harness
No worries
But yea that should work, i just tested that location for me
THe reason what you tried didn't work is.. complicated
But basically you can sorta do what you did but its not recommended since it doesn't play nicely with upgrading Forges
Much better to be safe in your user directory

iv noticed XD

Doesn't need too much besides "These are the directories we care about. They might not exist so feel free to make them yourself"
If you can't find your User directory, you can use the "Open user directory" button in Desktop Forge -> Preferences -> Troubleshooting
If you don't have your custom cards defined to a set we give this helpful message:
celest bramble
nice the card is trying to load now. problem solved. thanks for the help
rich harness
Also you may not want to choose a date for your edition in the future, as that may cause problems with newly scripted cards which are assigned to future sets if not otherwise assigned to anything

okidoki. also face is null means what? no image detected?
rich harness
Nah scripts don't care about images
Image agnostic
Your script is just messed up
No Name param
celest bramble
ah
rich harness
I guess you haven't defined the front face yet by not having a name, so it can't set the mana cost
Alright gotta jet
celest bramble
@rich harness well the cards dont show up in the log erroring anymore but they also dont show in game at all
Basically the same Problem still persists
The cards seem like it was attempting to load or it would not have errored before but now I fixed the error it still won't load
celest bramble
huh, the custom cards doesnt exist. i will just made a cards folder inside it then and try athat
rich harness
Yes, these folders are not pre-generated by Forge
But Forge will look in them if they exist
celest bramble
...i see
i think forge should generate them when the user turns on user generated content in settings maybe?
rich harness
shrug
The pin in custom cards is pretty specific
They loading now that they are in the right place?
celest bramble
yes im getting errors again so they are loading in.
HOWEVER. even if i get the card to load im worried it still wont load into adventure mode since the pin make it clear it doesnt lead into adventure mode from the customs folder.
however im sure if i go back 20 versions it might work from the res folders like it tells me it needs to be in for that
rich harness
Its nothing abotu versions for the res folder
Its because when you have a cardsfolder.zip it doesn't look for individual card scripts
I am very specifically not recommending this because its annoying and i don't want people asking to help them when things get messed up

ah i see
so delete the zip or unzip it?
rich harness
Yea idont know anything abotu what adventure does with custom cards
Right unzip and delete
Leave the unzipped cards there
But next time you update things are going to be bad
because you'll have a .zip again
And out of date files
celest bramble
i simply wont update untill im ready to go through the process again. i dal with games that break mods every second day all the time so this would be nothing new.
as long as i can get things working i eventually will
rich harness
If you do that i would recommend having a custom folder with your cards rather than putting them in the alphabetical folders
celest bramble
i shall simply keep a backup folder of my custom cards and wipe the res folder every update then unzip, delete and reput my customs in each update
i shall include this step in my tutorial video too
rich harness
I would prefer you dont
Its just going to cause more problems
We should just put them in the right place and figure out how to let adventure load from there
celest bramble
oh so hold off and you will eventually code a way to have them function without pain?
that would be prefered
celest bramble
Its really there for people using the repo
i see
perhaps a file structure like this would be optimal to load user content from
rich harness
I feel like the cards folder will load everything under it, feel free to organize it however you want
I'm not sure what you linked about custom cards and adventure
But it has access to custom cards
I'm guessing it just doesn't have access to edition files
(Which means you can't Smith it if thats the case)
celest bramble
(Which means you can't Smith it if thats the case)
or get them in packs, most shops or drafts, ect i assume
clever locust
I'm not sure, but I think most shops are dynamically created from a query. So if it matches, and you have set up your edition file correctly, then they could appear.
rich harness
Yea shops have nothing to do with editions
celest bramble
i see i see thanks for the info then
