HQ Pictures

[johncpatterson]

Hi All,

I have read numerous posts on the forum so far about the HQ pictures issue. While I've seen numerous links to downloading them, some seem to be very out of date, and I am just plain confused lol. As such, can anyone provide a link to download the HQ pictures that is currently up to date? Or, if that happens to be multiple links, could you provide them all, including quest pictures, pet pictures, etc. It would be most appreciated!

You can find HQ scans on the Collectible Card Games Headquarters, CCGHQ. Thats where this forum, and many others, are hosted.

There's an entire forum dedicated to high quality scans. Here's a link:

viewforum.php?f=15

You can essentially get a high quality scan of every card via the stickied Announcement threads.

PS: Most of the scans are fantastic. Hold on to your shorts.

Gotcha. 2 more questions:

1. I heard that the HQ images can slow the program down. I have a Core i7 Macbook Air with 4gb Ram. Am I going to run into problems?

2. I heard that you have to rename all of the HQ images? Is that true? If not, how do I proceed in getting them into the program correctly?

Thanks!

1. I don't experience much slower performance, if any

2. I haven't had to rename but maybe 2 cards. Here's what I do. I just put all the artwork I download into one folder with each set in a subfolder, i.e. C:\Games\Forge\Fulls\M11\ for Magic 2011. If I remember correctly, the zip files contain a single folder with the set abbreviation, so its quick to extract them.

Back in Forge, I just import the folder that contains all the sets, i.e. C:\Games\Forge\Fulls\

It takes a little while, but seems to work without a hitch.

Thanks, that definitely sounds like a plan. I'm on a Mac, actually, and I know how to find the pictures in the game on the Mac. However, I downloaded both the LQ pics and the LQ set pics, so I have both set folders as you mention filled with pics in my pictures folder, as well as a huge list of uncategorized pics in the main pictures folder (alongside the set pics folders). Should I have just downloaded the LQ set pics only?

[Rob Cashwalker]

Forge will try to find the set-based picture in the folders first. From the HQ archives, HQ pics could be copied to these folders in place of the LQ set pics.

[johncpatterson]

Understood, most appreciated!

[johncpatterson]

By the way, I can't seem to locate the folders in which the tokens are placed. Where should I put the HQ tokens that I get from CCGHQ in Forge, and then how do I direct Forge to them? Thanks again!

`
/pics/tokens/

[johncpatterson]

And I assume that is organized by sets as well? For example, /pics/tokens/M12?

[Rob Cashwalker]

no tokens don't have set info. And they have special naming...

[johncpatterson]

I see. Sorry for the questions by the way, just trying to learn

Downloading the M12 pics from CCGHQ shows a folder labeled TK M12 with files named such as beast.jpg, bird.jpg, etc. If they do not go into set folders, how do I name them in order for Forge to recognize them, and differentiate them between sets in the pics/tokens folder?

I am probably missing a few token pics but the file names for the token jpg file located in my tokens folder are named:

It looks like you are missing the 6/12 colorless construct token. I'm guessing it should be named c_6_12_construct.jpg.

Otherwise, it looks like everything is there. Thanks for sharing your list. I had the HQ tokens but didn't know where to begin naming them. Your list simplified matters considerably.

You are welcome and thank you for the missing token.

Turns out that I am missing another token, the one created by the Hornet Queen from Commander:

g_1_1_insect.jpg

This token is green and has flying and death touch. I have not been able to track down the jpg picture though, been too busy with other things. There are some green insect tokens in the TK archive but I do not think that any of them are for the Hornet Queen. (?)
