About that 2gb Torrent of Decks for the Program
Posted: Wed 21 Feb, 2007 10:16 pm
Hi
I just thought I would let everyone know that I downloaded that torrent and am in the process of sorting out the mess and converting all the files to *.jpgs and resizing them to 200 px wide so their size is better optomised for the new Deck Exchange.
It's only 2gb as the morons had 400px wide *.bmp files in there.
So if you were thinking about downloading it with a torrent client you may want to wait awhile.
As I go through each of the Decks I'm also trying to work on some sort of descriptive naming protocol to make it easier for all of you to know what everything is.
Basically I'm changing the folder names and packinfo.xml file for each of them to have THE at the start and TAROT at the end.
Except when they are Oracle or Cartography cards where I'll do something else equally descitpive and enthralling.
I'm also putting Unknown in the files if I don't know who the author is. It seems a bit ** to have them all on the exchange with my name in there.
For cropped and major/minor decks I'm using Brackets after the name
Examples:
The Filename Facist Tarot
The Filename Facist Tarot (Cropped)
The Filename Facist Tarot (Major)
The Filename Facist Tarot (Cropped, Major)
Anyways far be it for me to tell everyone what guidelines to follow but this is what I'm doing and if anyone wants to follow suit go ahead.
I'll be adding decks as I finish them in batches of 10 or so.
Cheers
Mark
