Card parallel settings

Card settings (like load and population, records apply in load order): the brand, the parallels by key, the upgrade chances and the prestige rules. See Cards.

Content type: cardParallels
Files: data/card-parallels.json
Shape: One settings object (a file may hold the object itself)
Patch target: cardParallels:<id>, for example cardParallels:core.cards
In the base game: 1 record
Guide: Cards

Fields#

Indented fields belong to the field above them. [] marks the items of a list. A field that is not required may be left out; the default is used.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
`id`	id	Yes		Namespaced id, e.g. "core.player.rory-calder"
`brand`	text, up to 24 characters			The card brand printed on every card (our own, fictional).
`parallels`	map (key: value)
`parallels.<key>`	object	Yes		A parallel: a colour of the card with its own print run. In a settings record every field is optional, so a later record (or a mod) can change one thing about an existing parallel; a new parallel needs name, print and colours.
`parallels.<key>.name`	text, up to 40 characters
`parallels.<key>.print`	whole number, 1 to 100,000			Print run: cards are numbered n/print (1 = a one of one). Fewer = rarer.
`parallels.<key>.colours`	object			Foil colours: light (highlights), mid, deep (shadows).
`parallels.<key>.colours.light`	colour, `#rrggbb`	Yes
`parallels.<key>.colours.mid`	colour, `#rrggbb`	Yes
`parallels.<key>.colours.deep`	colour, `#rrggbb`	Yes
`parallels.<key>.pattern`	one of the options			The foil texture printed on the card. Options: `rays`, `mosaic`, `waves`, `swirl`, `superfractor`, `prism`, `sparkle`.
`parallels.<key>.holo`	number, 0 to 1			Strength of the rainbow holo, 0–1 (default 0.55).
`upgrades`	object			Rare prints: after a card's base parallel is set, one roll per card can upgrade it. `superfractor` is the chance of jumping straight to the rarest parallel; each `steps` entry the chance of moving that many parallels rarer. Majors and TV events multiply every chance by `bigEventBoost`.
`upgrades.superfractor`	number, 0 to 1
`upgrades.steps`	list, up to 10 items
`upgrades.steps[].steps`	whole number, 1 to 10	Yes
`upgrades.steps[].chance`	number, 0 to 1	Yes
`upgrades.bigEventBoost`	number, 0 to 10
`prestige`	list, at least 1 item			Replaces the whole list when given.
`prestige[].when`	object		`{}`
`prestige[].when.tags`	list, at least 1 item			The event has one of these tags.
`prestige[].when.major`	true or false
`prestige[].when.tv`	true or false
`prestige[].when.tier`	object			The event's tour tier, 1 (World Series) … 5 (County).
`prestige[].when.tier.min`	number
`prestige[].when.tier.max`	number
`prestige[].parallel`	text	Yes		A parallel's key, e.g. "gold" or "green-mosaic" (cards name parallels by it). Names a card parallel setting record. Pattern: `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`
