• python3 (needs the following libraries: bs4, collections, datetime, os, re, requests)
• server space
• subdomain pointing to your site root on the server
• rclone with your server set up as a remote

Setup

• Download and create the initial files by running:

  git clone https://git.praze.net/tre/tcg.git
  cd tcg
  cp log-template.py log.py
  cp variables-template.py variables.py

• Edit variables.py to set the variables as follows:

  • servername: name set for your remote in rclone
  • serverpath: path to the site root on the server (with leading slash, without trailing slash)
  • name: the name you use in the game
  • highpriority: a list of high priority decks you’re collecting
  • tradepost: URL of your trade post on Dreamwidth
  • faves: a list of cards to showcase on the index page
  • headerbackground: an HTML colour to display behind your header image and set as a theme colour
  • british: True if you want “grey” to display on the site, False if you want “gray”
  • collectthreshold: minimum number of owned cards for putting a deck in the “collecting” category
  • mediumthreshold: minimum number of owned cards for marking a deck as medium priority
  • highthreshold: minimum number of owned cards for marking a deck as high priority
  • keepsig: True if you always want to keep one copy of your signature, False if you want to make them all available for trading
  • tradestatement: statement to place on your trading page
  • maxmastered: maximum number of most recently mastered decks to show on the index page
  • ownedpage: True if you want a page displaying your entire collection, False otherwise
  • firstmasteries: a list of decks you mastered first
  • misclink: under "link", a link to any page you choose, and under "text", text to display as the link
  • donations : lists of donated decks and individual scrapbook cards
  • masscollect: list (python dict) of series/themes being mass collected, each containing a dict which specifies “full” as either True or False (to show or hide a list of the total number of cards in the set) and contains at least one of "decks" specifying a list of decks, or "singles" specifying a list of individual cards

• Run the following:

    python3 setup.py
    chmod +x build.sh

• Save a header image to build/assets/header.png
• Save each stage of a filled sketchpad to build/assets/sketch/, as 00.gif, 01.gif, etc.
• Save coupons to build/assets/coupons/, with filenames that match the codes you’ve given them in log.py.
• Add level images manually to build/assets/levels/
• Add custom CSS to build/user.css

Updating and building

• For each transaction, add a dictionary {} to the log list like in the example (removing any of "received", "lost", "crayons", "decks", "coupons", "pend", "unpend" that aren’t relevant).
• Run ./build.sh in this directory to download the relevant card images and then upload everything to the server.
