Alternate card art

Postby schnautzr » 01 Jan 2015, 22:43

Adding a number behind the filename works for basic land cards.

Example: Replace Forest.jpg with Forest1.jpg, Forest2.jpg

But when I do the same with nonlands, Forge doesn't use either file.

Example: Replace Phytotitan.jpg with Phytotitan1.jpg, Phytotitan2.jpg

Hi schnautz,
In my experience, you can get this to work but only by adding an additional copy of the chosen card in the edition file of the set (in /res/editions/[edition_name]).

You'll actually notice that these sets have more than one entry for Forest, Plains, etc.

The only problem is that this actually increases the "common-ness" of a non-land card when generating random booster packs. It also makes it possible to get more than one of the same card in a booster (provided they have different artwork). This is one of the problems that I hope to fix one day (after I figure out how to get Forge to compile on my Mac...), assuming no one beats me to it.

Actually, I hadn't noticed the lands had another copy. Cool.
