The issues referenced above have been fixed.


Download link in the OP.

Documentation in a PDF with the release, or here on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cNroWUOQIsaYW1oCn4Mb5EtAfMQXgrekxR5INhLkkYc/edit?usp=sharing

If you have a previous version installed then close nanDECK, make sure to back up your cards.csv and card_portraits / card_output folders, then copy-paste the contents of the zip into your existing installation folder.

Change Log:

• Fixed an issue which would sometimes cause decks to fail validation

Is nanDECK supposed to creating a bunch of files in my folder named something like temp_202010271848010584_00000 1.html?

[TelTura]

Those files are created temporarily and deleted after they are no longer needed. If you run into an error however, the files stick around to aid in troubleshooting. You can safely delete them manually, but if they're still stacking up, there's an error occurring that you're overlooking.

[JamesCB]

Welp, something must be going on 'cause I got like 4,000 backed up.

[TelTura]

Even after you delete them all? In that case, delete the html files and then re-run your most recent deck, there should be some sort of error showing up in the nanDECK status window. It might only be on one card, so watch carefully as you build to see if any appear to have errors in them. In the nanDECK folder I believe there is also an error log that you can refer to if you can't find anything amiss; post that here if you can't find anything more specific and I'll take a look.

For anyone curious or in need of general installation help, there is now a video on YouTube that walks you through installation and basic usage of the card generator here: https://youtu.be/46KzoN6pUQc

It got to the point of like 7,000, and I just gave up on deleting them, but there was an error on a card, but when I cleared it up, they all went away.

On the newest patch
When creating full art cards with Dwarven culture, the culture won't correctly load (So it just generates the card without it) -It works with other cultures.

[TelTura]

Can you attach the csv you're using? You can remove the rows that aren't relevant if you prefer.

[JamesCB]

One thing I've noticed is that the sites game text start a little further to the right on the generated cards then on actual cards. I've recreated both Dwarrowdelf Chamber and Caras Galadhon* in the generator, and both get cut off.

[TelTura]

Bug reports are best combined with examples, please, so I can see exactly what you're referring to!

I will take a look regardless later tonight.

Unfortunately, my files got deleted, and clicking the download link just takes me to a page that reads "Not found."

D'oh, I misnamed one of the files.  Go to templates/double_res_export/overlays and rename culture_dwarf_double.png -> culture_dwarven_double.png.  (If you're using a different template size, change the file in that folder instead.)  I'll get a fix out for this in the template files and main links in the next day or so.

I just checked both of these images and as far as I can tell, they're fine:





If you notice any issues in the future send me an example (+ the CSV used to generate them) and I'll address em as they come up.

[JamesCB]

Huh. Maybe I was doing something wrong.
