FFTCG on Tabletop Simulator

Status: Abandoned Release: Beta License: GNU GPL v3.0
Table of Contents
Because I’m a nerd, I naturally love trading card games. And because I love Final Fantasy, I naturally had to play the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game. And because I have the Tabletop Simulator, I naturally came across the FFTCG Mod.

The cards and decks in the FFTCG mod initially left a lot to be desired. The image quality was varying wildly and the card backs sometimes differed subtly, so that you could roughly guess which cards your opponents had in their hands when playing. Not ideal.

However, cards for the TTS are actually “just” images of the fronts and backs, arranged in a grid, and a corresponding JSON file. The JSON file defines the grid and the cards’ placement.

What started out as a small Python script to download the fronts from the official card list and stitch them together in a suitable grid using PIL eventually led to this project.

The first part of the project is fftcgtool: A Python package that makes use of the API powering the official card browser to list, download and prepare the cards of a card pack (“Opus”) for the mod.

It also utilizes the API behind FF Decks to import community-made decks directly into the game.

The second part is ttsimport, a simplistic web GUI for fftcgtool ffdecks. This enables the import of FF decks into the TTS without a local installation of fftcgtool. Additionally, importing is thus possible for normal TTS users without special technical know-how.

  • Vue 2.6 + Single-File Components + JavaScript ES module syntax

Third and last part is ttsimport-bot, which brings the features of ttsimport to the Discord platform. Actually, this was just born out of my curiosity on how to write a Discord bot using discord.py. But since the FFTCG community organizes itself largely via Discord, the result found some grateful users.
