@Zooooch:

I cannot legally accept payment (I'd be violating copyright law if I did), but feel free to send me a friend request and I'll see what I can do for you.

Hey MarioFanaticXV

This is absolutely incredible! My friend and I have been playing an expansion we developed ourselves. I was wondering, is there a possibility of getting your high quality original scans and cropped images so I can work on them with my own expansion? I don't mind paying you for your time if you are willing to set my up.

@yitzhakgoldberg123 No, most of the home tiles don't even look like their respective nations.

@MarioFanaticXV, is it possible to build an accurate Earth map with the tiles given in the game?

I have tried it now.. but same issue.
I got a picture of the error.. May I send you?
I have added you on steam to send it

Try disabling mod caching, then going into it. The images are hosted on the Steam Workshop, which is still up. I have no idea where 2.1m.yt is, but it's not where the images are hosted in my mod.

Hi Mario, thanks a lot for the support.
I'm still facing the problem. I have played it years before... and now im trying to install again.
I have added other games and it is working perfectly..
I have tried to access the images directly by browse.. it didn't works too.. I think all images links from the game have changed URL or it is not available anymore.

I am getting a single error on the 5 Culture token, but that's nothing to do with a destination host. I think 2.1m.yt is your local files, everything I have is saved to the Steam workshop, like so: https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/764973415220197774/DE309870952B36358C090E8E2A8234C840392083/

It didnt work.. all errors are related to "Cannot resolve destination host".. I think some imagens are not available anymore.
Example o image: http://2.1m.yt/uEfTFL7TT.jpg

It's a bug that TTS sometimes has with transparent tokens. Refreshing a few times with mod caching on should fix it.

Im getting errors on opening the game. Does it need to be updated?

I'm afraid I'm not interested in adding a fan expansion, but if you want to make it, then by all means, please use my mod as a base for it.

Hey Mario, thanks for your response! :) I've got another question: There's a 3rd fan-made Expansion out there, which is really cool: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1595747/a-self-design-new-expansion-the-3rd-expansion
Rulebook: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/133727
The guy who made it, send me the files in good quality to print them but I was wondering if you could also implement them in tabletop simulator? I send you a friendship request on Steam, if you would be interested we can exchange mail. It's really cool, graphics look like they're from FFG. Greetings, Martin

"Great Mod! Thank you very much! I played a lot with friends during the pandemic and am rediscovering it now."

Glad it's been useful to you and your friends!

"Do you think it would be possible to create an AI with the Tabletop Simulator Lua API for it?"

I know very little about programming and nothing about Lua in particular. Though a game with this many rules would probably require a rather complex AI (doesn't mean it can't be done, just that it wouldn't be easy, even by AI standards).

Great Mod! Thank you very much! I played a lot with friends during the pandemic and am rediscovering it now. Do you think it would be possible to create an AI with the Tabletop Simulator Lua API for it?

Yeah, I keep hoping there'll be a fix for that, but I think bugfixing on this game is dead at this point; all you can really do is reload and hope it works this time.

The swap thing is actually a standard feature in TTS; you just select multiple objects, then tell it to combine them as "states". Before TTS had native PDF support this was actually the standard way to include rulebooks; you'd just save each page as a separate state.

Because of the recent interaction, there are a few missing pictures on the tile pieces for Stonehenge, The Angkor Wat, The Porcelain Tower, Brandenburg* Gate, and The Colossus. It's not really a big deal though.

Everything else seems great, especially the swap you managed to integrate to allow players to swap from Wu Zetian and Mao. No idea how you did that, but thank you for taking the extra time to do it. Setting up the board game and putting it back in real life takes more time than a full game.

Yeah, the expansions don't give you updated Civ sheets, but they do give you new Civs to play as in general. Maybe go take a look online with Ebay, Amazon, and of course YouTube

"I've seen the singular abilities of each civilizations are not updated to the game expansion. Is there a dcl updated that I don't see?"

I'm not sure entirely what you mean? If you're talking about the errata, the rules are included for that, but there was no reprint of leaders to match that.

I've seen the singular abilities of each civilizations are not updated to the game expansion. Is there a dcl updated that I don't see?

Great job. Thank you!

This is an unofficial Discord that can be used for such: https://discord.gg/4vN6kTjr7K

Would be nice if anyone knows a discord server that organize this game.

Is there a discord or anything for finding people with which to play? This is such a great mod, I'd love to be able to get some matches going!

I've poked Berserk games about the bug- sadly, they don't seem to care. They're pretty terrible about fixing issues with TTS.

I had problems with "failed to create token from image" for some stuff, because the .png files were lacking a transparent 1 pixel border. To fix this add the borders. Below is a solution you only have this mod installed.


1 Have all the png files in cache

1.1 Pull out all the wonders and culture tokens and other offending tokens from their bags (this will make the game download the png to cache)

2 Add transparent borders
2.1 Install https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php
2.2 Open terminal/cmd at .../Tabletop Simulator/Mods/Images/
2.3 Run this command ON WINDOWS:
FOR %i IN (*.png) DO magick %i -resize "%[fx:w-2]x%[fx:h-2]"! -bordercolor transparent -border 1 %i
ON MAC (in zsh terminal):
for file in *.png; do (magick $file -resize "%[fx:w-2]x%[fx:h-2]"! -bordercolor transparent -border 1 $file); done
2.4 Remove all jpgs in .../Tabletop Simulator/Mods/Images/ and all files in .../Tabletop Simulator/Mods/Images Raw/ to not end up with black instead of transparent.

@MarioFanaticXV the information about spanish link it's OK!

@MarioFanaticXV link to translation in polish language is ok:)

@GoodspeeD: That'd be wonderful- not that I feel I'd have any right to tell you no even if for some strange reason I wanted to, but the more people that can play this great game, the better!

I'd be happy to link to your version from here once it's complete!

MarioFanaticXV I would like upload to workshop the spanish version of your job (with a few littles changes). I'll mention to you in the information of the workshop. If you don't agree, let me know it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I appreciate it!

Thanks for your hard work!

I also have ... failed to create token from image ....

Huge thanks to the author!

got error with "wonders"

Amazing work, thank you very much!

It's an error on TTS's end, there's nothing I can do about it. Please send a bug report to Berserk Games.

I cannot reproduce the error on my end, all tokens seem to load just fine for me.

Any update on the missing culture token. I also experienced issues with wonder tokens. Is it possible you upload you files somewhere as a backup ? Regards

So this bug is randomly popping up again. Not much I can do on my end, unfortunately, it's not happening to me. If you could send bug reports to Berserk Games, I'd appreciate it, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can really do about it.

and there is same issue with Culture 5 token.

there are other wonders tokens with the same issue. but should be easy fix, just edit all images to have that 1px transparent border

so I think there is problem with Colossus and Stounhende tokens. TTS do not like image files. I found this topic - https://steamcommunity.com/app/286160/discussions/0/1642038749321682676/ - saying that image must have transparent border of one pixel, so I downloaded the images, resized them to 248x248px; and then expanded back to 250x250px making 1px transparent border, that fixed the issue for me

Hey Mario, got the same error as ExtoZi
I'm on Windows 8.1 too
here is screenshot - https://prnt.sc/r139y0

Win 8.1

ExtoZi, what OS are you using?

Odd; I had that problem with a few tokens when making the mod, but got them to behave. I just loaded up the mod and it's not giving me the error when I tried loading it colossus just now- and I did it from the workshop version rather than my personal copy, so I know it's not an issue with forgetting to update the mod. I can't seem to recreate the issue, I'm afraid.

Very well done.
There's a little issue with some wonder tokens, eg. Colossus, (failed to create token from image)
Im i doing something wrong? still new with this app =)

hahahahahha
i just got the game a day ago and this comes out still a good game id recommend

Damn fine work, sir.

Nice !
