script to use card images from Pictures torrent with Forge

[briala]

I'm new to Forge, so didn't have any HQ card images on my computer, and they are no longer downloadable from within the program.

The FAQ here links to a Pictures torrent that has all the images, but they are not organized per the structure / filenames / directory names that Forge requires.

I wrote this quick and dirty script to handle the necessary conversions. It extracts only the English language cards. Run it from within the Pictures directory, and move the contents of the resulting "cards" directory to your Forge card images directory.

It is destructive, so make a copy beforehand if you want to use those images for other purposes or otherwise want to be safe.

It worked for me, but this is not release quality code, I offer no support, and you should probably only use this if it's the kind of thing you'd feel comfortable making yourself but just want to benefit from my having typed it out for you.

I am new to Forge and have no idea if there was a better/easier way to do this (you'd think there would be, but maybe it was moot for all the time the image server was up.)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# TODO: Version that generates Forge-style while maintaining archive as is.

Edit: It turns out Forge expects two letter set codes for sets before 10E, and one letter for the original 4. Fixed.
