A tool for windows to extract hearthstone card art from the unity game files. The project includes a partial port of Disunity, it also utilizes the DDSReader project.
As of version 0.3.3 (Hearthstone patch 8.0.0.18336) the card art can still be extracted as before, but support for card tiles and card xml has been removed.
This project has become increasingly difficult to maintain with each new Hearthstone patch. Future updates to this project are unlikely. The HearthSim tool chain is the recommended replacement:
- Extract all card art.
Extract available card bars (deck list images).Extracts the card xml text files.- Extracted cards can be filtered by set and card type, they can also be named by card name rather than by id.
When Hearthstone is running the necessary game files cannot be accessed. Therefore, you need to quit out of Hearthstone for the program to work correctly.
extractor.exe cardart [options] <hearthstone directory>
Examples
Extract the card art including card bars to C:\CardArt directory, this excludes enchantments and miscellaneous sets.
extractor.exe cardart -o "C:\CardArt" "C:\Hearthstone"
Extract the full card art images only (no bars) and disable all default filtering on sets and card type.
extractor.exe cardart --full-only --no-filters -o "C:\CardArt" "C:\Hearthstone"
Extract the card bars with "hidden" areas cropped off, and set the output height to be 34 pixels. Also, use the supplied CardArtDefs.xml to create bars for tokens.
extractor.exe cardart -o "C:\CardArt" --crop-hidden --bar-height 34 --bar-only -m CardArtDefs.xml C:\Hearthstone
Other available options:
--full-only Extract only the full size card art.
--height Specify the height of full size card art (height
== width).
--image-type Specify the image type; png or jpg (or dds not
compatible with height or flip).
--without-bar-coords-only Only output images without any card bar
coordinates.
--bar-only Extract only the card bar images.
--bar-height The desired height of the card bar images.
-a, --keep-alpha Keep the alpha channel in the exported images
(removed by default).
-f, --no-flip Do not flip the full images over the y-axis
(does not effect card bar images).
-g, --group-by-set Group the images into directories by card set.
-n, --name Add the card name to the exported file names.
-s, --include-sets Include cards from the specified sets only.
-t, --include-types Include cards of the specified types only.
--no-filters Exports all cards, ignores default filtering.
--save-map-file Save the generated card to texture mapping file
(ignored if using a map file as input).
-m, --map-file Use a previously generated card to texture
mapping file.
-o, --output-dir The directory where the extracted files will be
saved to.
--crop-hidden Remove parts of the card bar that are hidden by
the bar frame in the game.
