Master List of What To Download
by StumpyFrostreaver » 25 Aug 2014, 06:48
Hello There,
I'm new and this might be around but have been poking around for a while and have had no luck. I was wondering if there was a master list of what can download? I had gotten the following:
Application:
-From CardForge.org (http://cardforge.org/releases/snapshots ... i-desktop/)
Images:
-Got the 'CCGHQ MTG Pics' Torrent (15GB)
-Got the 'CCGHQ MTG Pics Update 021014' Torrent (2GB)
Additional Card Sets:
-are there any additional ones that can be downloaded?
Additional Quest Worlds:
-Innistrad
(I am sure there are a bunch more, but...)
My issue with images
First, its a fantastically complete set. But I couldn't quite get the Images to load. It would seem like after unzipping all the folders, it would only work with some of the FULL ones. Are there steps to how to do this just so I can see what I am being dumb about?
I also think that the 'CCGHQ MTG Pics Update 021014' Torrent may have some images that are not in sets yet? Is it possible there are more cardfolders.xml files out there that can add the new sets? Or do we just wait for the next release? (this is what got me looking at the new sets to download as the images seem to be ahead of the game maybe).
Is there anything key that I am missing?

Hi StumpyFrostreaver,
I think that the torrent includes the picture in several different resolutions: tiny, high quality and ultra-high quality (xlhq). What most of us use for forge are the high quality pictures. You don't notice XLHQ pictures unless you zoom a card even on a very big screen. I haven't tried using them, but I imagine that you need a pretty powerful computer to do so.
The problem with using the pictures from the torrent are the naming conventions. Pictures in Forge are named CARDNAME.full.jpg, while pictures from the torrent are CARDNAME.jpg. So Forge doesn't recognize the pictures from the Torrent when they aren't renamed.
If your internet is fast and you want a relatively easy solution, I would recommend viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14626 . That program downloads all pics in the highest possible quality directly in your folder.
If you decide to rename your Torrent pics, you need a mass renamer. You also need to pay special attention to basic lands because they are named unusually. If you need help with that just ask.
That Innistrad world is pretty sweet, if we're lucky it might even be in the next release. Custom quest worlds get usually overwritten by every forge update unfortunately.
Otherwise, I think that you have everything. Just remember to download the quest images etc. in the content downloaders menu in forge.

For card pictures, you can use the in game content downloaders as well.
