Within the Link Spreadsheet each row is a card, and each column is a feature of the card. At the top of each column is the name of the card feature. The details and expected inputs for each column are listed below:

CardName: Expected input: NA. This column is used to help with organization and keeping track of each card. It does not contribute to the content on the cards.

Expected input: file path to image.

Example input ..\..\Deck Components\Singularity Deck 3.0\Item H1 Torch.png

Note: Each item has a different hand shape associated with it. In the above example the filename includes an "H1." This indicates to use the "Hand 1.png" file.

FaceColor4:

Expected input: Hexadecimal color code.

Example input: #A53250

FaceImage5:

FaceFlag:

Expected Input: N,H.

This column controls the orientation of the face images. The letter N must always be included for the face images to display properly, because it controls image transparency. The letter H may optionally be used to mirror the face images horizontally.

Example input: NH

Pip Groups:

These columns control the Pips at the center of the cards. The assumption is that the card has either “Face Images” or pips, however it is completely possible to include both. The basic layout has 2 pip layers. The icon for the primary suit is determined by the “SuitImage” column, and the modifier pip icon is determined by the SuitModifierImage column.

Each pip is designated a letter when determining the pip layout:

Primary suit icon = P

Secondary suit icon = S

modifier icon = M

empty space = x

new row = >

SuitPipGroup

Expected input: P, S, M, x, >

Example input: xPx>PP>PPP>PP>xPx

SecondarySuitPipGroup

Expected input: P, S, M, x, >

These Icons are inverted 180 degrees. This is useful for making symmetrical pip layouts.

Example input: xPx>PP>PPP>PP>xPx

SuitModifierImage

Expected input: file path to image.

Icon for the Suit Modifier. Ex. “Icon Hearts Mod.png”

SuitModifierPipGroup

Expected input: P, S, M, x, >

Example input: MxM>MM>MxM>MM>MxM

SuitModifierColor:

Expected input: Hexadecimal color code.

The color of the Suit Modifier icon

Example input: #A53250

SecondarySuitModifierPipGroup

Expected input: P, S, M, x, >

This is inverted 180 degrees.

Example input: MxM>MM>MxM>MM>MxM

TertiarySuitModifierPipGroup

Expected input: P, S, M, x, >

Example input: MxM>MM>MxM>MM>MxM

PipGroup6

Expected input: P, S, M, x, >

This is inverted 180 degrees.

Example input: MxM>MM>MxM>MM>MxM

HeaderText:

Expected input: text.

Text at the top and bottom of the card. This is useful for adding a name or roles to a card. The text box spans from the top or bottom to the center, which allows spacing to be controlled by adding paragraph breaks in the link file.

Example input: Header Text
