unfortunately not :/
ALRIGHT, well, since we don't know if/when any of the admins will be back to fix this, but the images still appear accessible, here's how to set up a local copy on your own computer.
STEP 1: get the local *.html files. The ones on the server are the ones telling us access denied, but Kralik posted a *.zip folder containing all of the *.html files here:
http://lotrtcgwiki.com/files/LotRHTML.zip (
I have also rehosted this file on my dropbox) . Download this and extract it to a folder somewhere, name it LOTR-TCG-DB or something like that.
STEP 2a: I've written a small python script to download all of the image files.
Download this zip file and extract it anywhere. If you have python installed (
you can get it here) you can simply run the imgdownload.py script and it will automatically begin downloading the images one at a time to the /images folder. If you're on windows, I've also included a standalone *.exe in the /windows folder. Both the script and the *.exe have only been tested on windows 7 64bit[edit: and has been confirmed to not work with 32-bit windows], but the script should work on any OS.
You can cancel the process on windows by pressing ctrl+c. If you need to restart the download process, be advised that it will start over from the beginning...but you can always edit the imagefiles.txt and remove the files that you've already downloaded.
STEP 2b: If you do not trust the program above (I get it, but you can always just open the .py file and verify the script yourself [shrugs]) I have also thrown together an *.html file that has nothing but all the images in it.
Go here and use a plugin such as DownThemAll to get each image, or alternatively go to file-save as and save an "html complete"; this will save a file named lotr-tcg-images.html and a folder named lotr-tcg-images_files that will have all your images in it (once it's done downloading, of course).
STEP 3: once you have done one or the other of the above, copy the images to your LOTR-TCG-DB folder you made in step one. You should now have a folder that looks like this:
LOTR-TCG-DB
|
|-images
|-|-all the images...
|-pages
|-|
|-sets
|-|
|-index.html
et voila! open the index.html and go nuts. Be advised that the search field doesn't work on the local copy, and also if you click the index link in the upper-left hand corner it will in fact take you to the real lotrtcgwiki.com website. I've been using the search option on the website to find the card I want, then going to my local copy and finding it manually there.
hope this helps.
