HQ PICS DOWNLOADS and Status List (MTG)

[Rontec]

All of the 3 letter codes from Alpha to 9ED have been confirmed by wizards and are 100% correct. The never ones where never confirmed (where do the wikipedia contributors take them from?) so you can't be certain they're correct.
The gatherer codes do not go trough any policy I suppose, as there are 2-3 letter codes and sometimes they're bizarre too ex. CG for Urza's Destiny (which comes from the codename Chimichanga)

It highly depends on what you would call "confirmed by wizards" if you go by what wizards themselves use there are 2 options to easily get the codes for newer sets :
1st: In Magic online wizards uses set abbreviations which can be found in those 2 files: Data\DO.xml for newer sets and Data\DOSets.xml for older sets.

2nd: on http://wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Article.as ... llproducts the gifs used for the list on the right "Limited-Edition Expansion Sets" used to display the expansion logo have the official set abbreviation in its names since the kamigawa block.for example worldwake (exp_sym_WWK_C.gif) and Rise of the Eldrazi (exp_sym_ROE_C.gif).

If wizards uses the abbreviations, i would claim they are confirmed.

Do the MTGO set abbreviations and the ones from the gif file names match? If you have MTGO installed, could you send me those files?

Unfortunately the MTGO ones are the same as the Gatherer ones. I uploaded the two MTGO files anyway, though, so you can check it out for yourself.

This one gives three letter codes for everything up to SOK/9ED...

But I'm definitely not going to name anything "V09" like MTGO/Gatherer suggests. Or DDD/DDC/DD2.

Since we use Rapidshare:

Dear Customer,

we hereby inform you of a modification regarding the file inactivity regulations for Collector's accounts. The guaranteed storage time of a file after the last download (or after the upload, if a file has never been downloaded) will be lowered to 60 days on January 1st, 2010.

Please note that Premium accounts whose files use more than 50 GB of storage are subject to the same storage rules as Collector's accounts.

I don't think any of our files have been 60 days without downloading though.

Any expectation on when we will see JP CH and Italian Renaissance?

[creepycrawly]

A quick note if you have previously downloaded the Italian Legends set: nearly all of the artifacts are misnamed. I've fixed them all (I think) and re-uploaded the zip file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?myozqxdxmdy. The crops are the same, so I fixed them as well. They are here: http://www.mediafire.com/?uwmyizk4jyn.

If you're not interested in re-downloading the zip file, then you can go into your Italian Legends folder and rename accordingly:

Gauntlets of Chaos = Green Mana Battery
Green Mana Battery = Horn of Deafening
Horn of Deafening = Knowledge Vault
Knowledge Vault = Kry Shield
Kry Shield = Life Chisel
Life Chisel = Life Matrix
Life Matrix = Mana Matrix
Mana Matrix = Marble Priest
Marble Priest = Mirror Universe
Mirror Universe = North Star
North Star = Nova Pentacle
Nova Pentacle = Planar Gate
Planar Gate = Red Mana Battery
Red Mana Battery = Relic Barrier
Relic Barrier = Ring of Immortals
Ring of Immortals = Sentinel
Sentinel = Serpent Generator
Serpent Generator = Sword of the Ages
Sword of the Ages = Voodoo Doll
Voodoo Doll = Gauntlets of Chaos
Triassic Egg = White Mana Battery
White Mana Battery = Triassic Egg

I'd probably just re-download it. It's easier that way.

We've always had Italian Renaissance (R2). It's here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ojutyj2yjoc. I'll leave it to PresetM to help you with the Japanese Chronicles.

Bad news, my scanner is damaged, but I'm on my way to fix the problem.
Good news, finally I've got the last missing cards of my Japanese Chronicles set. When my scanner is functional again, I will scan this set.

Regarding the naming of Italian Legend set: both Legend sets (English and Italian) needs to be rescanned. So later we will have correct named scans automatically...

[creepycrawly]

You're too awesome, PresetM.

Definitely sharper. I always appreciate an upgrade.

[doxaios]

Great work!

[AsBest]

I think it's not sharper, it's softer, less contrast, do not cuts eyes. Great scans!
