#that solves all your problems
mighty bane
indeed that sounds like the solution. Might be the only thing to do. Is there a fast way to download all my cards image at once or something similar to that? because dowloading all individual cards will take me multiple hours as dextrous is slower from the project size.

You already have all files in your cache
Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Mods\Images
(assuming mod caching is enabled and you have "encountered" each card in TTS to make it save it)
sweet creek
the alternative is to spawn card objects, disable their collider, and position them in the world (rather than using the player's ui)
this means you would not need to split your cads up
FINALLY (and I hate this option) you can mask and offset each card in each position in each deckseet
if you only use 10x7 decksheets then that's 70 mask images and 70 position offsets you need (the latter can be calculated if the dimensions of your source images are the same)
have one decksheet which is 9x7 instead? well now you need a fresh batch of masks and position offsets
neon flare
I think you probably only need 1 mask that you move around, right?
mighty bane
You already have all files in your cache
So I just enabled Mod caching and I'm pulling the cards out of the dack to have them in the game world. but my image folder still doesn't include the cards image.

So I just enabled Mod caching and I'm pulling the cards out of the dack to have ...
It will have the decksheets
not as last file ofc, because it's cached when you first load it
mighty bane
Thanks for the help, but I'm not sure I follow yet. they are no in my image folder, but mod caching is enabled and they are all in the game world (not in a deck). Do I need to reupload them from dextrous? I guess that would be it.
sweet creek
are these assetbundle decksheets?
neon flare
Thanks for the help, but I'm not sure I follow yet. they are no in my image fold...
Is that the entire content of that folder?
sweet creek
also you may have moved your cached folder
mighty bane
yes its the whole folder
sweet creek
click the yellow folder icon in the config menu ingame to go to the active location
mighty bane
it leads into the mod folder, not into the image folder, good catch. But that seems wrong that it would lead to the mod folder
the images are also not there
mighty bane
are these assetbundle decksheets?
I'm don't know what is an assetbundle decksheet :/
sweet creek
clone a card on top of itself so it becomes a deck of the same 2 cards, right click the deck -> custom, post the dialog as a screenshot
mighty bane
Sorry, not sure what you mean when you say the dialogue, this is what I get
neon flare
Can you post one of the URLs?
mighty bane
here is the face URL
{verifycache}https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/card-maker-74ec3.appspot.com/o/images%2FQdZvVPx5vSS7kBuiCsV09COKqPA2%2FTTSFiles%2F8mlJVTfBovraNVT3mFUD_7ELIrmuuAD0EtsRl0si3_10.png?alt=media&token=4c1c0cd8-226f-4516-ba97-d3a5fc7bb4b3
sweet creek
I wonder if verifycache prevents caching 🤔
neon flare
HAHAHHAA
@mighty bane can you search your TTS folder (in Documents) for ELIrmuuAD0EtsRl0?
that should point you to this file if it exists
neon flare
I wonder if verifycache prevents caching 🤔
That would be such a bad implementation tbh
sweet creek
i am now trying to sort my tts cached folder by date modified... i might be here a while
mighty bane
Then actually try removing the verify cache prefix
done, should I click on Import?
sweet creek
remember when 1Gb was huge? 🥲
neon flare
Yes, and then save and reload the game to cache it
mighty bane
This is the result in TTS (used to be Mesprit's card) and I still cannot find it in Mods folder (or Mods/image folder)
neon flare
TTS probably doesn't like that the same URL is now used in two different ways
mighty bane
ok so I shoukd maybe do it for all cards that share that face URL?
sweet creek
this file is not caching for me either, which confuses me to no end
neon flare
huh maybe TTS can't handle the URL and fails to generate a file name?
sweet creek
perhaps, if you throw us another url SAMPAI i'll try without verifycache first (in case that is the issue)
mighty bane
Ok I'll do that. Though I did succeed to take out the verify cache of all the pokémnon of that spreadsheet (from rotom to arceus) import, save, and reload, they all appear properly in game and don't have the verify cache in their face URL, including Mesprit that was previously white
mighty bane
Not fully no, the consequences, no idea, the reason is because I'm trying to see if they can appear as single image inside of my folders so I can have single image face URL to give to my TTS pokemonFaceData code
sweet creek
If you want to get anywhere with modding in general, you shouldnt "try this and assume it works"
{verifycache} means it checks that url for updates to the image, and uses a newer image if available
by removing that, you are now relying on the image you have cached the first time you loaded the image
mighty bane
I see, so if I ever update the card in dextrous, it won't update anymore in TTS, is that right?
sweet creek
correct
mighty bane
ok that is indeed very important
sweet creek
which is why you want a solution to your problem, not a guessed workaround
mighty bane
indeed, thanks for the tip
sweet creek
what is confusing us is your folder should be full of these cached images
(both to use, and to have something to compare with for {verifycache})
oh wait
Do you have mod caching turned off?
mighty bane
If it helps, I unabled Mod caching earlier when you guys asked me to, it was disabled before that
sweet creek
that's the same as I, I'm getting the same issue
mighty bane
but its been enabled since we,ve been talking here
sweet creek
(still waiting for you to post a second url)
sweet creek
ok I'm going to go with what Chr1Z alluded to earlier
Something in this url is peventing it from writing a cached file on the system
So it downloads the file into application-reserved memory and uses that, but you have no locally stored (cached) file
this is effectively resulting in mod caching being turned off for this file (which is actually a useful thing to have if we could control it rather than being a bug)
so now I've decided on that (don't bother asking TTS to fix it, TTS is basically not updated), you have two options
use a piece of 3rd party software to download the assets for you outside of TTS
scrape your save file for the urls
(well I guess the third option is simply to do what I showed you to copy them out)
mighty bane
ok I see, thanks for the analysis. Any recommendation? The thirtd party software souns like that could work fine. Scraping the save file might work too but I guess could get pretty tedious? The thirs option is not exactly the system I'm looking to make right? as it is not in a UI window, unless I misunderstood your proposal.
sweet creek
I never recommend any third party software
I can link the one(s) I know abou to you. I have never used them and do not condone using them
that's the three I know of
neon flare
There's also this tool: https://gitlab.com/fran1523/bored-maude

Great thank you! I found a card card in my TTS save file, this is Golduck's card. Even those URL leed back to a spread sheet, not a single card image
