Hi,

I am building a new module in 3.7.19

I defined my game piece image definitions in an excel file.  
I convert it to xml and then import the xml into the module.

This works pretty well.

I have sorted them by layout and nationality so there are 10+ xml files.

Is there a way to import them all at once?

I’d like to do the same with the Game Piece Palette but the game pieces have a unique GPID.

I could assign those in the excel file starting for a large number.

But I am not sure if they are meant to be consecutive or if there are other rules about the GPIDs?

cheers

Gus

I this has become redundant. I just discovered imagemagick.

I created all my counters in an hour. I am amazed.🙂 🙃 🙂 🙃 🙂

I haven’t figured out a way yet to do the naming automatically.
