HQ PICS DOWNLOADS and Status List (MTG)

[RobbieG]

Hello,
I am new to MWS and I am trying to gather the complete up to date card pictures. I have downloaded both torrents on the first page on the sticky,
COMPLETE 10E HQ PICS TORRENT
LORWYN UPDATE .


Can anyone link me to what else I need to download to get up to date with the latest release? Also can anyone tell me where to put these files?

Thanks,
David

You can download sets your missing from this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jsg5b1c3agu6c

Put the set folders in the pics folder that is in your magic workstation program folder.

I've downloaded the files from mediafire but in Forge I can't select the pics to import, and I can't chose the file format either... How do I import them?

[Huggybaby]

Your quickest answer is probably found in the Forge forum...

RobbieG - have you tested to see if viewtopic.php?f=96&t=3371 can download the pictures and name them in a manner that works with Cockatrice? I know I've tested it with MWS, but I don't use Cockatrice.

I have not. Cockatrice comes with "Oracle" to download the sets info into an xml file. So would I use this program to input the xml file and download the high-res pics from your site?

One thing I've noticed is Cockatrice uses ’ marks, while the cards downloaded use ' marks. Is there an easy fix for this?

Why does the Starter 2000 (S2K) zip only include 20 cards?

There should be 54, or am I missing something here?

[skibulk]

The other 34 were exact duplicate printings of 6th edition cards, so if you want just copy them from the 6th edition folder into the S2K folder.

You can use this mediafire folder link if you want:

You need 7-zip to extract them:

Hello,

I just read this article by Wizards. What does the team think about all this?

Under the heading "Counterfeit Singles":

All individual cards are protected under trademark and copyright laws, including art elements and the card backs. Making reproductions of the art images and card faces of Magic cards is an infringement of our rights and is prohibited. The use of this art and images requires the express permission from Wizards of the Coast. Without this permission, scanning and posting and otherwise distributing these images violates the law. Even photocopying them to use as a “proxy” for personal use is illegal and violates our intellectual property rights.

That article has been around since 2004 (making it nearly 8 years old now). Though I understand how they are basically trying to prevent counterfeiting (and I don't encourage anyone to counterfeit) if I have purchased a card and have no contractual obligation I will do whatever I feel with it. If they wish to allow me the use of the cards free of charge they then can tell me what I can and can't do with the card as they see fit.

Wizard's is clearly in the right, but they also clearly don't enforce it, because if they did, they would probably be forced to enforce something like this unilaterally. That means that Star City Games and eBay could not use card images at all on their websites in any card singles sales. So basically, if you're using card scans for private use or not for profit, because you're using them in a similar matter as SCG/eBay, nobody is really going to care. If you're using the card scans to produce proxies (which are counterfeits) then Wizard's may go after you.
