HQ Pics for Forge

[friarsol]

Hellminion,
I'm not really sure this project of yours is that fruitful. As Huggybaby said you are getting images from magiccards.info, but the original source of those images are the CCGHQ team, which we already have full access to. As Xitax and Marek have also said in this thread, it's easy enough to just take the set of all of those pictures and get them to work with Forge, so there is no need for a double middleman (magiccards.info, and then yourself) to have access to these.

You seem to be reinventing the wheel without any interested parties.

I honestly can't imagine why you wouldn't just take the CCGHQ MTG fulls (here) and resize them with IrfanView batch resizer to whatever you want. That's what I did to create cards the size that I want for Forge and it was pretty simple and easy.

I simply copied the pictures to Forge images directory without resizing and it works great

Yes, I resized my cards to make the whole thing smaller. Also, the Forge resizing function leaves the cards just a bit blurrier and I don't really like it. Resized so that the image is full pixel of the card .jpg and a slight sharpening filter IMHO looks better too.

Xitax: Probably depends on your screen size. I have 1920x1080 and all images look great even without resizing...

Thanks for the link. However, it seems that the bandwidth on that website is very limited. I cannot download such a large file as it takes forever (20 hours) and my network shuts it down. Any alternative links/options?

Thanks to all of you for this incredibly well developed software.
