The admin was from somewhere in Russia or there abouts. He spoke some English, but it was limited. Zerker2000 was able to converse in Russian.

I am now looking at the list of contributors on google. It may be one of the people after me and around you. Skobelin or Nicolai Tesela, but I could be mistaken. Dennis might remember his CCGH nickname.

I remember the guy gave us the original HQ pic code and the sound code. It might be possible to do a search on this web site and look for hits on HQ pics on our forum.

OK, did a search and found a topic named Play sound in game .

I think that the OP, Vasilly also did the HQ pic stuff.

r243 was checked in by Skobelin. I don't remember him at all.

I have another problem with the images. I downloaded the HQ pics correctly, and then, try to download the LQ files (around 300). When I try to add some new cards, they aren't in the pics directory. Try to download again and the program downloads 117 files, but they aren't in the directory. If I try it again, the program download 117 again, and so on... Any ideas?

Thank you.

The NPH card pics aren't available on the LQ Set Pics server. Waiting for the HQ pics team elsewhere on this forum.

Yes, Vasiliy, I remember him. He had nothing to do with that HQ pic server though (he just linked the Forge download code to it - much like Wizards has nothing to do with Forge grabbing their LQ pics :mrgreen: ).
It's probably gone, I'm guessing hosting a server with that many (large-ish) pictures brings about a lot of traffic.

It has been a long while and my memory is starting to fade.

The several thousand new cards added over the last 6 months probably increased the bandwidth to the point where he could not maintain the server.

Yes, and I'm pretty sure other projects/websites linked into this server (it wasn't just Forge users).

OMG - fantastic! It works and it's great! I haven't played IPA draft since MTGO left beta testing. It takes me back to the best time in my Magic career. Thanks, Rob!

Is there anyway to get quest data from older versions to work with new releases or is there too much code changed?
Cheers

Any idea when NPH pictures will be up?

Also I've noticed that Master of the Wild Hunt activated ability doesn't let the check for damage triggers the targeted creature has
i.e. I had a Doubtless One enchanted with lifelink and a creature with wither and neither of their abilities triggered.

I tried to migrate my questData.dat file from the 22-04-11 release (that is, copy the file from that release, into the "Quests" folder in the new release) and it throws an error when I "Continue Quest". I've never done this before; so there's a high probability I'm doing something else wrong. Any suggestions? I'm close to a Sliver deck so I'd like to keep the data if possible 8-[ Thanks!

Also, will this problem persist every update? I'm debating whether to start over in the new update, or pound along with what I've already got...
