-Scrape the yugioh database with e.g. python, create a .csv file which maps CardName to CardNumber, then I can go from YGOPRO number to CardName to CardNumber
-Make command line tools so I can batch the packing automatically

-TODO:
-Tool to extract YGO: LOTD battle pack deck (ideally the one with most AI decks (bp1 > bp2 == bp2r2) OR with the most cards if expanding/shrinking doesn't work (bp2 > bp1 > bp2r2) to YGOPRO format.
-Tool to assemble YGOPRO "decks" and put them as a battle pack inside the zib file. If we can't find the card in the .csv database -> store it in a list and query later or add manually.
-  Automate all that stuff. Ideally, I just want to have a program which can do all the assembling/patching in one go. 
-  It should have at least a button for patching the battle pack with the data and automatically copying it into the YGO_DATA folder. 
-  It should also accept JSONs?
-
-Make a combined tool which:
- - on startup, check if paths are set, if the paths contain required files (YGO_DATA.dat, .exe, .csv, ...)
-   - unlock buttons if the required files are there. (e.g. unlock extract YGO_DATA only after YGO: LOTD path is set.)
- - extracts YGO_DATA and stores your YGO: LOTD path inside an ini or something
- - asks for your save path and stores that
- - has a button to extract the draft deck from savegame.dat and store it in deck_database as ygopro decks. (In order to easily add new decks)
-   - therefore we need a method to convert 3 lists (main / extra / side) of card-IDs to 3 lists of ygopro IDs. (which is what the .csv does)
- - contains cards.cdb and doesn't ask for it
- - has an output folder which will contain versions of the files created
- - automatically extracts packs.zib
- - automatically patches battlepack 1 with the decks in the draft_cards folder
- - automatically packs packs.zib
- - automatically extracts decks.zib
- - automatically 'randomizes' draft battle opponent decks
- - automatically rebuilds YGO_DATA
- - asks for copying it to your YGO: LOTD directory
- - to be save - ban every card ID later than late 2016 (CID > 12500?)

-YEAH, IT FUCKING WORKS!

 AI-DECKS: 
 CHECK if we can extend the number of AI decks in draft play -> just adding more decks doesn't crash, but doesn't add them either. Can't seem to expand that either.
 
 I don't know what the first 8 bytes of the .ydc files is - seems to have a few fixed values (8C 64, 0A 61, ...)
 
 
-PACKING:

-Cyclone -> zib folder to zib
-Copy zib to YGO_DATA folder
-Vortex -> YGO_DATA to dat

 NOTES:

-Changing Deck in decks.zib with HxD works

 Decks can be illegal (all Exodia pieces + only pot of greed left)

 PACK NOTES:
 Apparently they do rarity by simply adding multiples of cards?. 
 Extracting the .ydc works the same as extracting the .bin files, so the fixed Cyclone/Relinquished works for both decks and packs.
