Not see some of the pictures of the cards selected in the deck builder. This is problematic because I need certain variations of certain cards in my deck. What should I do?

That's probably because you didn't get all the card image files, which isn't your fault, I apparently got a bit lazy with error handling, as the Database will still create the cards even if the images aren't available, so if you redownload the PDT.zip, that part should be fixed.

You've also shown me how lazy I was with the Database, I hadn't even considered that it may be super slow to build on older computers.  The Database is currently built once you go into the Deck Editor, Card Database, or Inspire Me tabs, as they all need it, but once you leave the Deck Builder menu, it clears out the Database completely and then has to be refilled, since you could create some cards, then go back into the Deck Builder and it would need to be refilled otherwise the new cards wouldn't show up.  I do have an idea on fixing that part, but at some point, the whole Database needs to be created, which will need nearly 11,000 cards to be created, although less when I fix the issue if you don't have all the card images.  I'll definitely get working on fixing these issues, though.

I've also updated the Read Me.txt to try to be a little more clear on the file structure necessary, which is probably just telling me I need better/more error messages implemented.

I currently only have what the Expanded format covers, which is every card from the start of Gen 5 and newer, so I don't have any Gen 1 cards yet.  Although you could very easily make the card yourself, the Custom Card Maker could handle it for now.

And thank you, I've been off and on working on this for a bit over 4 years now, I'm glad that it's not just me getting good use out of the PDT.
