Testing: Import Data
If you've designed your cards elsewhere, you can import them into Multiverse with this page.
You should export your set data in a Character-Separated Values format (CSV), where field values are separated by a comma or other single character. You must provide a formatting line to tell us which order your fields are in and what character is serving as your separating character. The formatting line must contain only your separating character and any subset of the following field names in any order:
name, manacost, supertype, type, subtype, rarity, rulestext, flavourtext, power, toughness, loyalty, art_url, image_url, artist, code, colour, colour_indicator, active, watermark, comment
Accepted aliases:
cardtype
for type
;
cost
for manacost
;
text
for rulestext
;
flavortext
for flavourtext
;
color
for colour
;
art
for art_url
;
image
for image_url
;
notes
for comment
. A field may not be repeated, nor may it and its alias both be present.
Any fields may be omitted. In conjunction with the "Replace with new" option, non-specified fields for existing cards will be left as they are. You can use this to make partial edits en masse.
If the colour
field is omitted, the colour will then be deduced from each card's mana cost.
For logical fields like colour_indicator
and active
, values of no
, n
, false
, f
, 0
or empty ("") are interpreted as false; any other value is interpreted as true.
The comment
field, if nonempty, will be used to create an initial comment on the card (or when replacing, add a new comment).
Every line in the data must contain the same number of the separating character, or be entirely blank.
An example formatting line, using the separating character %
:
name%code%cost%supertype%type%subtype%power%toughness%loyalty%rulestext
In this example, for each card, the colour will be deduced from the mana cost, the rarity will default to common, the flavour text will default to empty, and no initial comments will be created.
You can specify what action should be taken if imported cards have the same name
or code
as existing cards in the cardset. "Replace with new" will overwrite the old card with the new data; "Preserve old" will abandon the imported card and leave the old card unchanged; "Duplicate" will create a new card in the database with the same name and/or code as the old card, which will be left unchanged.
If a card being imported has the same (nonempty) code
as an existing card in your cardset before the import, and the same name
as a different existing card in your cardset, the code
rather than the name
will be used to determine the "old card".
The recognised values of the colour
field are:
White
, Blue
, Black
, Red
, Green
, Artifact
, Artifact Vehicle
, Multicolour
, Colourless
, Hybrid whiteblue
, Hybrid whiteblack
, Hybrid blueblack
, Hybrid bluered
, Hybrid blackred
, Hybrid blackgreen
, Hybrid redgreen
, Hybrid redwhite
, Hybrid greenwhite
, Hybrid greenblue
, Land colourless
, Land white
, Land blue
, Land black
, Land red
, Land green
, Land whiteblue
, Land whiteblack
, Land blueblack
, Land bluered
, Land blackred
, Land blackgreen
, Land redgreen
, Land redwhite
, Land greenwhite
, Land greenblue
, Land multicolour
.
If the colour
field is not specified, it will be deduced from the type and mana cost. However, the colour affiliation of lands will not be deduced; you must specify them (or edit the imported cards afterwards).
