This project is a community-contributed open source mod for Tabletop Simulator, emulating some features and game play of War of the Ring. It is periodically updated to the Steam Workshop.

As a community run project, artwork, scripting, table design and more is a 100% volunteer project, and we could use your support! You will need the following tools to make most (but not all) contributions to the mod:

1. A Git or GitHub client to make copies of this repository.
2. NodeJS
3. Tabletop Simulator

You'll notice we do not store the "save file" (JSON) in this repository, as historically that made concurrent edits and collaboration much more difficult: instead we have a series of scripts that "compile" it on demand from individual scripts and objects.

WARNING: Currently only Windows-based development is fully supported.

Once you've cloned the repository, you can build the mod:

# Install all NodeJS required dependencies.
npm install

# Creates a symbolic link to your TTS save folder, and compiles the mod.
npm start

For subsequent updates, you can just use compile on-demand:

# Files in "mod/**" are combined and output in "dist/" (linked to your saves).
npm run compile

# Optional, instruct TTS to reload automatically.
npm run compile -- --reload

If you make any edits to the save file directly, you will need to reflect (extract) the changes into the mod/** folder:

# This is a rarer workflow, but still supported.
npm run extract
