I have loaded all of the APILess boxes into the mod for the time being so the mod is functional. it will be made a separate listing once all tools are replicated somehow using a new API.

WIP no-api boxes and packs are now far enough along that small numbers of sets can be tested. I currently have MEG and base set, but can make others on request. FR/DM me if you are interested in helping test.

OK, now that I have some time for this project, I'll explain what my plan is going forward, to hopefully calm some nerves.

- I will update the current mod for MEG as I normally do, mostly because of the timing I am avaliable lining up with the pack release and because I'll likely be using the current code as a base for the next steps anyway.
- I will make a separate mod that does not rely on any external data source as best I can. this will have separate boxes like the old lotus assassin mod, and will be listed and updated separately on the workshop. All current tools except the deck builder and card searcher will be in this iteration and it will act as a fall back for any future issues that may arise.
- I will investigate alternative methods to maintain the current, API supported, mod with a new API. I have been made aware of the existence of the TCGDex API which seems to be a good candidate but may not (yet) have all the features I need. If i am able to identify a good candidate I will update this mod to use the other API and (hopefully) no features will need to be lost.

For helping me achieve this, the main speed ups would be either assisting in finding a new API with everything I need, adding features i need to TCGDex if needed (the devs there seem more attentive than the old API, though I have not had time to confirm this), or if you are able to quickly jump into a new project, writing helper scripts to split the current large script into several boxes or convert the old API data JSON into a more compact form for storing inside the mod.

For longer term maintenance anyone interested in learning the procedures should friend request or DM me, the process involves light scripting (mostly extending existing tables), some image editing for tool/energy icons and a varying amount of searching/investigative and spreadsheet work for gathering data, with the worst case sets requiring a certain amount of patience for poketuber pack openings.

I concur with Lena. I'm very late to this convo but I really enjoyed this mod. If it doesn't get working again--well, I enjoyed it while it lasted, and am very grateful for the time I got to spend using it. If there's anything we can do to help, I certainly would be willing to pitch in. I'll be checking out the github soon

best tcg pokemon mod ever keep up the good work!

No need to apologize; you've done a great job and have provided us with a great mod. These issues are outside of your control anyway.

Update on API issues: a major update and re-branding for the API has been announced, and to be blunt, it is a disaster for this mod, and in the coming months I will have to transition the mod away from relying on the API with the resulting loss in features as it is simply no longer going to be possible to call the API in real time.

This is because the new version of the API will not have any free access whatsoever, in part due to massive influx of bots and poorly made collector focused apps that have effectively DDoS'd the service (this is why the API is struggling ATM), however it is functionally impossible for a tabletop simulator mod to even log in to the service, as the password cannot be hidden from the user. Even attempting to use a proxy to handle requests just changes the problem to how you approve the mod for the proxy.

I want to be clear that despite the issue being caused by a lack of free tier, money cannot solve the problem, as I would still be unable to safely authenticate.

Because of this, starting after Mega Evolution's release, I will be looking to make the mod self-reliant. This will result in slower room loading (Worst Case Scenario: similar to other Pokemon TCG mods), larger file sizes, the removal of the search tile and likely slower updates due to more work needing to be done manually.

There are some upsides however, as there will no longer be set loading times if all data is in the mod.

I apologise for the issues we've had in this past month and my inability to more rapidly address the problems due to IRL commitments

nope, still doesn't work.

I have an update, it started working all of a sudden, after it took like 2 or so minutes to load up a pack

Error 504 is still popping up for me whenever I try to load a whole set

Yep, and this probably isn't getting fixed. was good while it lasted folks.

now is not a great time to be collecting every card.

Still not working on my end.

just started working for me again today

i'm starting to doubt it ever will. hope i'm wrong.

When will the API be fixed?

The addon is broken, friend. the whole pack opening feature is f'ed.

Hop's wooloo and Hop's dubwool wont load in my friend's deck. Is this bug happening for anyone else?

I can confirm the API is having issues, hopefully it will be resolved soon

Seems the Errors are a known issue. Alright. Hopefully it will be fixed soon :D

Might be, whatever it is is making the addon unplayable atm :(

Same here, 504 errors. Potentially problem with the api itself?

It gives errors when trying to open packs since yesterday. didn't have any problems before.

I'm working on BB/WF now, sources are being slow (likely because of it being 2 special sets at once) and I have to check a few edge cases for my other tools.

Please update up to Black Bolt and White Flare

this mod is so dope, i strongly suggestion anyone try this mod

The V1 has actually got cards you can pull to randomise the stuff you pull from. Is there any way to do this here as well?

@comfort no I mean the coins that are for flipping, there's like 200+ variations would be nice of there was a list somewhere for how each one looks, instead of going through them one by one

@LolaXD If you're talking about damage counters, you can change those using State.
Right click the coin object > "State" > Select desired state in multiples of 10 (i.e. state 20 = 200 dmg)

do you have a list somewhere for telling which coin is what number? there is a lot of coin and it's kinda tedious going over all of them

alr thanks for communicateing with your followers and supporters

How long do u think till the new set will be uploaded and be able to use

Prismatic evolutions will be added to the mod a few hours after it as added to the API, give or take my sleep schedule.

Thanks for the heads-up, @Pepper0ni!

@SgtMag You would have to source an image yourself and use the custom menu in the card's right click menu to swap them out

Is there any way to get higher res cards?

@Quickhand413
Not as of this time, however I would be willing to help anyone who was making a pocket booster sim by letting them use my code as a base.

Really cool mod! Will there be support for the TCG Pocket cards/packs in the future?

Ignore the markdown [code] tags on that, I guess those don't work on here. The script in between those tags should work just fine though.

@Zerokylin There's not anything included in this mod for it, but you can implement this pretty easily with some light scripting:
[code] function onObjectLeaveContainer(container, obj)
if container == self then
local objClone = obj.clone({position = self.getPosition()})
self.putObject(objClone)
end
end [/code]
Attach this script to a bag that you have already loaded with your desired packs. You should get a random pack out, which will then be copied and inserted back into the bag. (The cards should be different for each pack, since cards are generated as the pack is opened, not as the pack object is created. Correct me if I'm wrong!)

Is there a way to grab a random pack from the options? Like... From a random set? For the sake of rewards from winning a game, or making a chos box?

@LolaXD
This is an API-side problem, these cards do not exist on the API. I tried to get them added to the API years ago but they are still sitting in an abandoned Pull Request. Please contact pokemontcg.io with a request to add the sets.

heya I really love this, my and my friend are gonna be doing our own progression series soon. But I noticed it was missing a few cards exclusive to some of the trainer kits, I know most of the ones after EX Latios and Latias or just reprint with different arts but there are some that have exclusive cards to them, kits in questions are XY Trainer Kit—Noivern, XY Trainer Kit—Latias, XY Trainer Kit—Pikachu Libre, XY Trainer Kit—Suicune, Sun & Moon Trainer Kit—Alolan Raichu and Sun & Moon Trainer Kit—Lycanroc any chance these get added at some point?

Surging* whoops lol

Thanks again for updating with Durging Sparks. Was looking forward to being able to run my Hydreigon deck on TTS with friends. I pulled the chase irl, and I've been wanting to test it out since!

@paskinghhh sorry for the delay. That is an issue with TTS being very slow to load large save files that I can't do much about.

This mod is nuts! Amazing, astounding, cool, nice, and I'm running out of words!

I really need that booster pack script for another Pokémon project I'm working on (not cards but they still use Booster Packs for a reason I'm keeping hidden). I'm still designing the units, but Gen 1 is already a thing to a certain extent.
