Content Example

This was the early concept which showed how to define a schema for creating/importing content from the official Fantasy Flight Apps, it hasn't changed much but at some point this needs to be updated with proper documentation.

; content packs include a content header ini which has:
[ContentPack]
name=Descent Journeys in the Dark Second Edition

; Optional description
description=Base Game, required to play

; Optional image locaiton

heros.ini
tiles.ini
classes.ini
skills.ini
items.ini
monsters.ini
activations.ini

; Further data from here can be in files listed above

;Each named tile has A and B sides (in the case of D2E this is just A/B)
