The Expanse Board Game (heavily scripted w/ Expansion)

Description
I am a huge fan of all things The Expanse and I wanted to give this game the best treatment I could manage. Starting with the great work Eskander did, this version packs in visual updates and scripted features:

• 3D ship tokens with show-accurate models
• 3D “holograms” for each Orbital
• Automated setup
• Automated fleet strength counters for each Orbital
• Automated influence ranking displays for each Base
• Live Scoring projections to gauge the state of the board
• UI for selecting Action Track cards and automated CP payment
• Automated Initiative claim process and re-ordering
• Automated turn tracking
• Automated Scoring rounds
• Scoreboard that tracks (& exports) various stats for each faction
• Resource tracking board that tracks control of the four resources
• Support for the Doors and Corners expansion modules
• Support (kind of) for 5-player variant pitting the Roci against Protogen
• Option to use some house rules / rebalancing our group came up with

Hi luxan, just saw this comment. It's been awhile since I've been in TTS but I just loaded it up and didn't run into the setup issues you mention. Hoping it was just a TTS bug that was fixed in an update...

The settings token with the game setup options does not load correctly. It displays a very small part of the intended image, as if zoomed in on a part of it. The buttons are still active, but it is quite difficult to know what you are clicking. Also, the start button is off the bottom of the object.

Hey Misty, if you follow the "link to reference document" in the description there is a link to all the files used. Most came from the NASA website, actually! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good way to unlock the planets in the TTS file but you should be able to import the planets as custom assets and set the opacity to whatever you want.

Hello, could you share planets models?
Btw, How did you create the models? I'ts possibly to it less transparent?

Getting ready to play a game of this for the first time in a while and remembered there were still a couple load issues to take care of... they should all be fixed now. Basically had to remove a few more files from the original mod that were unused in the new version.

Thanks, @ShotBot, yes everything looks good so far, maybe some glitches from TTS updates but no showstoppers. Will post in discussions if anything comes up. Really awesome game version!!

Sounds good @the4thchild, occasionally a TTS update can affect some of the scripting so if there's anything particularly annoying let me know and I'll look into it. Feel free to start a Discussion in the tab above so we don't have to rely on the comments section! I'll look into those remaining missing assets, I have to imagine they aren't critical since I didn't find them.

Thanks, @ShotBot, that worked great! The asset bundle and cards all load now, and the setup controls finish. There are just a few load failures now:

About halfway through playing a game now, and so far they don't seem to impact game play (I encounter a few script errors but not sure if I'm just playing it incorrectly). Thanks for all the re-uploads and making this version!

@the4thchild ok, I systematically went through and re-uploaded all the missing files. I think I got everything but let me know if you find anything else missing! I'm hoping this fixes the setup controls issue for you as well, everything still seems to work on my end.
ShotBot  [author] Jun 19, 2021 @ 11:02am 
@the4thchild that's unfortunate, the files from original version that I based this on must have gone offline. I am still able to load the files so I will see if I can re-upload from my local copies and re-direct the assets to the new locations.
