Alternate card art

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.
