Okay, I'd like to first start off by saying that currently, we do not have a way to allow you to use your customized decks in DoTP 2012. However, that does not stop us from pre-creating our custom cards and decks for when we crack the problem.

Now, to get started.

[UNPACKING]
We need to start by unpacking our '.wad' file. This is the file that contains all our deck and card information. Fortunately, there are already some tools to automaticaly unpack everything from the file. They can be accessed here. Also, the updated Wad Packer tool by gibbed can be accessed here.

Once you have all the required files downloaded, it's simple to unpack the .wad file.

Method 1 (Use WAD PROGRAM.jar):
Extract the WadProgram.jar file to somewhere like your desktop. Then simply run the application (you'll need the latest version of Java).

If you are like me, and you see a command prompt flash up, then promptly close, then you need to follow this step.
In the folder you have extracted the '.jar' file, right click, go to New, then select text document. Rename the whole name of this (including the file extension) to 'run.bat'. If it says, 'If you change a file name extension, the file might become unusable. Are you sure?', just click Yes.

Now right click this new batch file and click edit. You should now see an empty file in Notepad (or the text editor that's default to open .bat files). Now, simply copy and paste the following line into this file:

Code:

javaw -jar WadProgram.jar

Now save this file, and close it. If you double click on this new 'run.bat' file, you should see a command promt, and then a window called 'WAD Archive Manipulator'. Great, it worked!

Now that WadProgram.jar is open, to unpack, we simply click 'Expand'. You then need to navigate to the .wad file. Usually in:
~\Steam\steamapps\common\magic the gathering dotp 2012\
Select the .wad file 'Data_Core.wad'.
You will then need to select a destination folder for the archive to be extracted to. Select any folder, just make sure you remember where. I'm chosing the desktop. The program will then do it's stuff... The Data_Core file is quite big, so it may take some time. Go and get a cup of tea, and relax.

When the program is finished, you will find a folder named 'DATA_CORE' inside the folder you selected. This folder contains all the data for Magic.

More coming soon...
