For any new deck submission a db file with the deck information is needed. In order to make the db file you need the program downloadable from here: Deck_Builder
Using it is very simple:

In the "Deck Name" field you have to put the full name of the deck that need to be the same for all the cards added of course.
I'd suggest also to use the "clear fields after addition" function that will clear all the field after any card addition.
Now we can start adding the cards, first put the card name (be sure both files of the card, red and blue, exist and got the same name) and choose the level, numbers, avaible/non-avaible informations, elements and then "Add Card" button.
Numbers informations. The As need to be 10s in the numbers information. If for some reasons you put a wrong number information you have to correct it manually. Click the spawn button and the db file is opened, the last card added is on the bottom, search the fields that are wrong and correct them.
Avaible field is used for recognize the SEs/ECs from the normal cards. If the card is SE/EC that field need to be "no".
If the card is normal that field need to be "yes".
The Element field contains almost all the elements informations: if the card is fire then put "fire", if got no element put "none". Two elements being missing shadow and mechanical, you have to put these manually.

After all cards have been added close the program and the db file is created into the same folder of the program.
At this point you have finished and the db file is done.

Thank you for taking your time to make this Glacial. I am sure this will be a great help to all those people who are unfamiliar with using the DB File Creator
