Boy, downloading the new pics takes a long time. Whatever server they're coming from isn't the best. I'll mirror them once I get them.

I feel your pain. And I have a slow speed dial up connection.

Several of the pics are not full sized. I found a full sized replacement pic url and corrected the SVN. They should show up with the next release.

I'm uploading them now. There's no reason to be missing any HQ pics, we have them all here, and hopefully that's where they came from, not from some other website.

OK, see the first post above for links.

Is slightlymagic.net/pics down? I'm missing a lot of HQ pics in my local version (this is not just Rise of the Eldrazi pics, which are not out yet), and I can't seem to download them using either mirror

I also noticed this problem.
I'm missing 130 images which I can't download.

I'm also confused regarding the tokens.
The card file for tokens gets some tokens from my HQ folder, but only a dozen.
The rest it takes from a german site and the quality is half.

I know all the tokens can be downloaded from http://magiccards.info/extras.html in HQ.

There's also a thread here with all the tokens in HQ
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=452

So I'm wondering what needs to be done to have those used instead of the LQ ones...

Thanks for helping.

I take the proper HQ token jpg and then I rename it to match the jpg name that is used by Forge. Granted, I have to do this by hand. There is a HQ archive somewhere else on the forums with the HQ jpgs used by Worldwake. I did the same thing for these cards.

I am still missing the new RoE HQ pics ... we will have to wait for other people to scan and post an archive. One of the two servers that Forge uses to download HQ pics appears to still be down. The other is unfortunately missing several of the older jpgs. Oh well.

OK, I did a little searching and found a listing of archives of HQ pics that can be downloaded by set.

HQ PICS DOWNLOADS and Status List (MTG)

People will want the Fulls rather than the Crops. You can find an archive with the Worldwake HQ jpgs and rename them as Forge will not at this time download individual cards from this set.

I am currently downloading the Zendikar set and hope to find these missing images:

Adventuring Gear
Burst Lightning
Khalni Heart Expedition
Kor Duelist

Agreed that renaming the normal sets isn't an issue.
Ant Renamer is a great tool for that.

But for tokens, it's not so easy, I can't tell the program which color letter to add in front.
So you need to do this manually.
I'd rather have the import function updated with all the new tokens

The CCGHQ HQ pic team now has an archive of HQ Rise of the Eldrazi pics available for downloading. Visit this link and scroll down to the bottom of the message and you will find the DOWNLOAD LINKS: section.

HQ Rise of the Eldrazi Released

You should download the Fulls and the Tokens archives. These jpgs have file names which are not compatible with Forge. You will have to rename these pics and then move a copy of them over to your Forge/res/pics/ folder.
