ScidvsPC 4.15 now does things differently. It will only upscale the smaller pieces if there is no larger image.

I haven't gone through the script, but making use of svg like this souds good. Please send me the larger pieces if the results are good. Placing the new files into $HOME/.scidvspc/pieces is probably easiest. Remove this line set boardStyles [lrange $boardStyles 0 11] to remove the 12 pieces limit.
