Railroad Ink - Giant Board

Description
The Giant Board expansion for Railroad Ink. This board is intended to be used alongside Unreal Ed's "Railroad Ink + Railroad Ink Challenge" workshop mod. You can either search for that mod and sub or find it here.

The board itself was custom made by me for mod. The scripting is modified from Unreal Ed's board, so thank you to him for making the original boards.

Rules
You can find the rule book either in Unreal Ed's mod or on the official Horrible Guild site. Here's the official page[horribleguild.com] to buy the Giant Board and you can find the official rules PDF at the bottom of the page under "Resources". For the simple TLDR rules, here ya go:
  • Use the 4 base or challenge dice
  • Without any expansions you play 12 rounds.
  • With a single expansion, you play 9 rounds.
  • With two expansions together, you play 7 rounds. Rules interactions for multiple expansions can be found on the Horrible Guild site.

What does work:
  • Complete 9x9 giant board. Includes all challenge locations and score boxes.
  • Scripting to allow for easy tracking turns for when stamps are placed.
  • Auto score to (mostly) add everything up for you.

What does not work yet:
  • Does not track "dice rolled" scripting in Unreal Ed's mod. From what but I've tested, I don't think it will be viable to ever add this. As such, I placed all the dice faces at the top of the page, you can mark pips via paint above the page to denote pips yourself; or whatever you find easy.
  • Score does not include housing modifiers or the challenge cards. In the future I'd like to add these in, as I know Unreal Ed's boards do track some or all of these. As of now, you'll just have to add it in yourself at the end.

Known issues and future improvements:
  • The board is a little bigger than the base stamp side in Unreal Ed's mod. If you press plus (+) while holding the stamp, you can fit them a bit better. While I'd like to fix this in the future, it's a lot of work for a minor QoL change so that's to be seen.
  • Occasionally I've seen clipping with the scripting and the board, though this is rare and I couldn't nail down exactly what was causing it.
  • Plans to add improved score calculation, university tracking, and a few other scripting elements to the board.

In the future I plan on creating a mod for the Epic Board, as well as possible the Archipelago Board in the future. Not sure if I'll merge them into this mod or if they will be their own upload, but I'll update this mod to say if I add any of the others. It's important to note that I have no immediate plans to either update this mod or create the future boards, this is just something I would like to do in the future if I have the free time. Could be a few weeks from now, could be a few months or year.

If you have any comments, bugs, or requests, feel free to throw them down. I'll do my best to keep the mod functional if something breaks but as stated before, I'll get to minor updates as I do. Thanks again to Unreal Ed and his Railroad Ink mod, since this wouldn't exist if his TTS mod of the game didn't exist in the first place.
