Hey, I'm posting an update of the deck library I started around a year ago. I've made a bunch of improvements and fixes. If you're looking to create a deck of cards in a campaign, where you can shuffle, deal new cards as tokens, etc., I think this will work (I use this to play games like descent online). All the data is stored either on lib: token or in a table, so you can add this to an existing campaign with only a couple of tokens and a new table. Check the attached campaign for an example.

To create a custom deck, you just need to create a table containing the card images as described in the README macro, and make a new Lib: token with the same name as the table. Be sure to include, but do not change, the Lib:Deck Functions macro.

I've been looking for bugs to squash but haven't found any. Please let me know if you do

I'm guessing this cmpgn file is for b73 or greater? Because it doesn't load in b70.

Yeah at one point I needed a bugfix in b71 so I'm using b74 atm. I attached a b70 example.

Very cool. I have my own card images and this makes it really easy to adapt.

One thing I may do is make all the images states instead of (or in addition to) putting them in a table. Not as portable, but it will allow me to assign ownership to the card and only the owner can view the card. Each card has some text associated with it as well, so I would have to build a macro to read card text. I think I remember another deck library where cards-in-hand was accomplished using a popup frame instead. I would also put a green halo on the card to show that it's being viewed by the player so the player and the opponent(s) would know it's being viewed.

I wish we could import a "states only" file where it didn't overwrite everything else... just import/export the states. Then it would be portable.
