Fireball Island (1986) [MULTI-LANGUAGE]

Description
Welcome to FireBall Island!
This mod is nothing but an "Operation nostalgia" to revive the original Fireball Island in all its three-dimensionality!


Fireball Island: You won't be safe until you're off the island!
On Fireball Island, the legendary Firestone jewel gleams beside its fierce protector, the idol Vul-Kar.
To capture it, survive a swarm of flaming fireballs.
To keep it, elude your pursuers -and escape the unexpected pitfalls of a mysterious jungle world.

It's a game of rip-roaring action and heart-pounding suspense - and it all happens on the unique Fireball Island gameboard.
First, capture the jewel by reaching Vul-Kar before your fellow fortune-hunters do.
They'll roll "fireballs" use "magic charms" and play a pile of nasty cards to slow you down.
Once you have the jewel, race for te dock. But stay ahead of your cutthroat opponents! They'll use the same tactics to steal the jewel and escape!
If you can make it to the dock with the jewel, you'll be the ultimate jungle survivor!

Designer: Chuck Kennedy, Bruce Lund
Publisher: Milton Bradley

Is there an easy way rto add multiple player pieces? (clone and colourize?) Is there a way to play hotseat with just my copy and still have hidden hands for cards?

Thank you so much! Had this as a kid in late 80s!

Just had an absolute blast playing this in VR mode with some friends, some of us had played this together back in the 90's. Only issue we ran into was vul-kar doesn't rotate right in VR, the little fireball icon never showed up. Our solution was to unlock it and spin it by hand, the fireball always came out the back end and caused some hilarity.

Thanks for making this, it's incredible :D

This is really a phenomenal mod for TTS - thanks for doing this work. I'm using the board and fireballs to play Pulp Alley, a miniatures skirmish game. It's a great layout for a "run through the jungle to grab the jewel without disturbing the volcano" type scenario :-)

Oh is just that now that I'm new to Tabletop Simulator I have seen many mods that due to having the assets hosted in 3rd party platforms the links are now broken, or the assets have been deleted on the author's Steam account, or the author is MIA and does not fix bugs that people have encountered, etc.
For not original content like this mod I think hosting the project in a public repo like GitHub would be great so there's kind of a backup just in case, and also people like me could learn a thing or two about scripting in TS in a convenient way.
It's all for the sake of preservation, but totally understand if you or other modders think otherwise, after all is your mod and your work!

Thanks you all for the compliments, I'm glad you enjoy this mod.
@jfranki: you have my attention, what I should do to make it open source?

This is extremely well done, it was a such a surprise to find this gem and even more, with this quality! Kudos to Carambola and everyone involved in its development. Even the "texture" of the board is there, manuals, different languages... 10/10
The only thing that I'm missing is that is not open source, and it would be a shame that for whatever reason (things happen) all this work could be lost, with no way of backing it up.
