How do I assign custom art to a custom card?

Hi there... kind of a side question but I was wondering how do I assign art to a new card?

One of my hobbies is creating cards and a friend has a whole set, so I decided to teach myself how to code in Forge with custom cards (given that the "remaining" cards are WAY over my head).

So I was able to figure out how to add a new set and a new card (which you guys make easy to figure out) but for the life of me I cant figure out how to get the right art to come up for this creature.

Every reference I see to the art in the available files points to online links rather than the 3 letter folder with the card images. Obviosly peoples side projects is not a priority, but if anyone knows off the top of their head I would appreciate it.

Just make a folder in your res/pics with the three letter set code you made up for your custom set. Then put images in there to match your card names, add ".full.jpg" to them to match what Forge downloads on its own.

added .full to my current test image and bam, it came up in forge. Thanks, you rock!

Hopefully I can learn enough to be of some assistance by the time avacyn restored drops.
