[bayushi_hanjo at yahoo.co]

Hi Rob,

Just checking in... is there any movement forward on L5R Card
images? If not, how can i manually map card images which i have on
my own HD to Cardvault?

Thanks!

Jonathan

Due to various legal issues and concerns, getting access to all the L5R
card images officially through AEG is still not resolved. However, we can
always utilize the images at l5rsearch.com (or another site) as an
alternative. The key problem with this approach is that the images at
l5rsearch are simply numbered, without any discernable system used for
generating the number for a given card. This means that using the l5rsearch
images would be a royal pain in the butt to manually hook up - i.e. days of
tedious, error-prone work. So we're still hoping things can be sorted out
with AEG. Or maybe someone has all of the images in a collection that won't
require manually hooking up all the cards to numbered image files. <wink>
<nudge>

There is currently no way to hook up card images to CV data files. We've
had that question asked of us a lot recently, so it's something we've made
a high priority for the next feature release of CV. But there's no way to
do it at the moment.

That being said, if you've got all the images, perhaps you could help us
out with getting something made available for download via the data files.

Thanks, Rob

Ok, so lets assume that i have all the files on my hard drive. What
next?

What format do they need to be in?
How should they be named?
What structure do i need for the folders?
(I'm assuming just a separate folder per expansion set...)
How can I get them to be seen by Cardvault?
Do I need to publish them on a website or what?

Sincerely,

JJ
