This is a project whose end goal is to answer the age old question:
"Who would win in a fight: The Enterprise D or a Star Destroyer? What about Captain Kirk flying the Millenium Falcon, versus Han Solo in a Constitution Class? Ok, but what if six TIE Fighters jumped an Assimilated Andromeda Ascendant attacking LEXX??"
These are questions the world needs answers to. And TSSS is here to give you those!
It's a unified minature game based on the Fantasy Flight X-Wing (and WizKids Attack Wing) games. We've kept (most) of the rules the same, while unifying concepts and rules between the two systems. We have a unified way of building ships, and all ships from both systems have been converted to match these new rules. In Theory, builds of the same point value should be roughly of equal strength. To this end, we've bumped some ships up to larger bases, and even implemented "Epic Scale" ships to cover everything.
This game has been implemented via Tabletop Simulator, since it gives us a very good sandbox for testing these changes, and it's mod support is excellent. It also lets us worry about game mechanics, and not worry about networking or game engine design. Limitation, sometimes, breeds creativity.
In and around this, we've also just built the best dang X-Wing or Attack Wing mod out there. Play is streamlined and very easy, with a lot of heavy scripting to make life so much easier.
Well, once we're on Steam Workshop, you'll get it there. Until then, simply
copy the save file for the Table you want from /saves into
~/Library/Tabletop Simulator/Saves. Make sure to copy the .json and .png
file!
Setting up a development environment for TTS is tricky. So, have a wiki page:
Because we have all of this in GitHub, it means we're able to link directly to our source code, thanks to https://www.jsdelivr.com.
The url should simply be:
// Omit `@version` completely to get from master
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SkewedAspect/tts-shipshoot<@version>/content/<file>
// Example, cloak token from `v1.0.0`
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SkewedAspect/tts-shipshoot@1.0.0/content/models/cloakToken.obj
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SkewedAspect/tts-shipshoot@1.0.0/content/images/CloakTokenTexture.png
// Example, cloak token from `master`
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SkewedAspect/tts-shipshoot/content/models/cloakToken.obj
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/SkewedAspect/tts-shipshoot/content/images/CloakTokenTexture.png
(This should handle all our CDN needs, and allow anyone to take parts of this that they want.)
We're just getting started, and this is a good place for us to collaborate and work out of. Literally nothing's actually done.
Right now, we're not really looking for help; but if you've got something worth while, go ahead and make a pull request.
