Thank you so much for creating this mod, it helps me enjoy the game a lot more. I only use the numbering version (I prefer the OCG text format), but I want to help other people who might prefer the regular version (a lot of them might even be new players). Admittedly, a lot of these suggestions are really dumb and you should ignore most of them. Some of the keywords here don't sound great and should be changed. Hope this helps.
I'd agree that both/either/any of/exactly are different keywords, but select (and also choose) is just pre-PSCT for target.
EDIT: After looking again, it does appear that choose is almost always reserved for effects on resolution, making it indeed different than target. Select, however, is still pre-PSCT for target.
Look at "Choose" in Forbidden Droplets, that's not the same as target. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll refer to them when I'm adding new features, but at the moment I've been busy with other endeavors so I'm just keeping the mod updated.
1.9.0 is out, they added breaks but they are still on top of each other and hard to read, still prefer your awesome features and straight to the point abbreviations/acronyms with numbered lines
The new update adds line breaks, which is note-worthy in cards like the Dragon Rulers, where it wasn't clear before in the code how the effects are separated. Hopefully this makes things much easier for you and helps with a lot of the unaddressed issues.
Hi, in order to not bug the game i deleted every data i had, uninstalled the game, and re-installed it this mroning with new update, but since then i can't seem to make any mod work anymore :( tried to reinstall this one thrice today and text doesnt change any idea why ?
You shouldn't reinstall this mod if a new big update (in gigabytes) has been released. It's incompatible with older versions. I learned this the hard way.
It appears that this new update adds line breaks to the different effects, similar to the depreciated version of this mod.
However, this mod still benefits from having the circled numbers to improve visibility, the ability to have line breaks to further improve visibility, and the added keywords the main mod uses to simplify text. As well, the update's new line breaks may improve this mod's ability to track and highlight effects which were previously missed.
While less required than before, those features above still make this mod worth using in my opinion.
Agreed, even for people who don't want keywords, there are a lot of things that should be fixed. Like "Untargetable + Indestructible by OPP's effect" uses like 5 different sentences despite OCG, from what I looked up, uses 1 (not to mention that untargetable uses active voice most of the time but indestructable always uses passive voice, so you would have sentences like "Your opponent cannot target X with card effects, also X cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects").
Is it possible you could summarize the cards even more ? like cut more words and add more shortcuts/keywords to trim down the fat for a clear and quick understanding.(straight to the point)
