IMPORTANT: Please check this mod's update date before installing it to prevent installing an old mod version over a newer Master Duel version.

Huge thanks to rnduser for writing the Master Duel modding guide, writing the open source mod Improve Card Effect Readibility which this mod is based on, and helping to write and test this mod.

This mod comes in four versions, demonstrated in this image:




The two "regular" versions of mod makes the following changes to card descriptions:
  • Card effects are now numbered and separated by single newlines
  • Effect activation costs (grammatical clauses preceding semicolons) are bolded
  • Certain verbose properties are shortened to UPPERCASE TAGS prefixing effect text: OPT (once per turn), HOPT (hard once per turn, even if you control multiple copies of the same card or summon the same card multiple times), QUICK (quick effect), END PHASE/YOUR END PHASE/OPP'S END PHASE and other phases.
  • Graveyard is always abbreviated to GY.
  • Some keywords and their grammatical variants are uppercased: SPECIAL SUMMON (and other summoning types), DESTROY, NEGATE, DECK, EXTRA DECK, HAND, BANISH, EXCVATE, DRAW, PIERCING
  • "DESTROYED by battle or card effect(s)" is shortened to "DESTROYED"

These common verbose phrasings are shortened with widely understood jargon:
  • Add X from your deck to your hand -> SEARCH X
  • Add X from your deck or GY to your hand -> SEARCH X (from DECK or GY)
  • Return X to the hand -> BOUNCE X
  • Return X from the field to the hand -> BOUNCE X
  • Returned to the hand -> BOUNCED
  • Send X from the top of your deck to the GY -> MILL X
  • If X attacks a defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage -> X is PIERCING
  • If X attacks a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of the equipped monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage -> X is PIERCING

Note that some effects are "unregistered" in Master Duel (the game does not have any data on its "sub-parts"). In most of those cases this mod currently does not number their sub-effects nor apply the OPT, HOPT, and QUICK tags (this would take a lot of work implementing the logic to separate the effect text into discrete sub-effects).

The documentation from rnduser's mod Improve Card Effect Readibility applies:

2. Introduction

The mod contains only text files but to keep the risk of being warned or banned as minimal as possible, you should note the
following while using this mod:
  • Don't show your Master Duel, Konami, Steam or Google account information in videos or images that you publish.
  • When you post anything regarding Master Duel mods, don't use your main Master Duel, Konami, Steam or Google account for that.
  • There's a pattern at the top right of the screen when you're logged into Master Duel which you should censor if you publish images or videos
    of Master Duel because this pattern differs for every account and could be used to identify your account.

3. Requirements for using Master Duel mods

  • Install Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel on your PC via Steam.
  • Play through the tutorial.
  • Let the game download all files after that.

4. Installing/Uninstalling the mod:

  • Close the game if it's running.
  • Open the "install", "install_with_empty_lines", "install_with numbering_only", "install_with_numbering_and_empty_lines_only" or "uninstall" folder from the ZIP archive in Windows Explorer.
  • Select the folder "0000" by clicking on it.
  • Copy the selected folder to the clipboard by pressing [Ctrl] + [C].
  • Go to your Steam library.
  • Right-click "Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel"
  • Go to "Manage → Browse local files".
  • Open the folder "LocalData".
  • Inside that folder is another folder whose name varies but it always has 8 alphanumeric characters, for example 1a23bc4d, open it.
  • Paste the folder from the clipboard by pressing [Ctrl] + [V].
  • Choose the option to overwrite/replace all files and let the process finish.
