There is also an app called SpaceAlert (or Space Alert Mission Generator?) that creates random missions for you. I think it's for both iOS AND Android, but def the former

With the death of Flash, I'd just like to mention that there's a channel on youtube called WarLore that has a playlist of all the Space Alert missions, and they seem to run fine through the tablet.

You CAN adjust the size of the hand zone. Just use the Gizmo tool

Your comments mentioned an issue related to planned cards going to your hand. That's related to the height of the hand zones, which I don't think you can adjust. What's happening is the player is accidentally try to place cards THROUGH the hand onto the mat, which doesn't work.

Only real fixes are to move the hands further from the table or use a top-down camera ( P ). If players can handle using their bottom-screen hands and/or the Draw deck command without needing the actual hand zone location in front of their seat, it's a nice workaround. Wouldn't hurt to set up a second table under the remote hand zones so cards don't accidentally fall into the tabletop-less abyss.

Any chance the expansion content might show up for this? Game looks real fun, thanks for the effort you put into this.

Hi, wanted you know that your mod has been added to my collection: Board Game Geek - BGG - May 2020 - Best Mod for each of the Top 500 Rated Games. Collection here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2086043930

The collection used this priority system:

1. Mod's Files Availability: Mod with all/most files still available for download
2. Feature completeness: Mod with greatest inclusion of expansions and/or promos available for the board game title
2. Scripting: Mod with scripting that most reduces work in setup/play for players
3. Component Quality: Mod with the best visuals/usability in terms of component quality
4. Table Setup/Ambiance: Mod with the best immersion with table, background, and other modeling.

Please also note that a mod that makes selection for this list very well could be one in which the mod author borrowed the majority of assets from another workshop listing, so full thanks to all who worked on a mod.

Thanks for your hard work!

Does the tablet work for anyone anymore? It's just showing me that flash isn't supported anymore for me.

The free Space Alert app has a Spanish voice you can use. If you use that, you could put the sounds of it through your mic or have one person be communications officer and he relays the info

How could I change the tracks. They are in english and I have them in spanish.

Excuse me, I'm interested in doing a Space Alert mod. I actually own the game in real life, but I do not have the funds to afford the New Frontier expansion. Would you be willing to scan all of the new Frontier content and supply it to me?

I grabbed the working CD object from the other Space Alert and loaded it into this, which is more complete. It works pretty well.
godfatherbrak 24 Sep, 2016 @ 7:12am 
I don't know what changed, but the tablet is now working.

Likely not any time soon. My friends still haven't got around to playing lots of tts yet. With custom tokens existing now, they probably will be fairly high on the list if/when we finally get around to playing though.
Unreal Ed 10 Jun, 2016 @ 8:12am 
T stands for threat. So they're the threat tokens. Are you going to add the real threat tokens?
Shadowsand  [author] 8 Jun, 2016 @ 10:26am 
So, I can't remember the exact names of the different tokens/cubes, so let's go by purpose. The green cubes and purple cubes (pairs named T1-T8) are the tokens which, when a threat appears, you place one on the threat card and the other on the threat track, to mark when what appeared where. On the resolution board (the one you use after the game is over to go through turns), there are 6 white cubes - 3 for marking the computer as having been activated that phase, and 3 for marking observations out the window.

The only pieces I can think of which are missing are the oval tokens for each individual internal threat, of which there were loads, and... I think it was 3 black and 3 white cubes, which were meant to be used for tracking the positive and negative effects applied to threats, such as 'this has lost its cryo shields' or 'this thing has +1 shield'. The cubes you can easily add yourself if you want them - my group never bothered with them, hence the reason I completely forgot them.
Raw Milk Butt Chug 7 Jun, 2016 @ 3:29pm 
I guess it was the threat tokens, the time tokens? And the gray cubes for computer maintenance. I could also just be bad at reading the directions and syncing up between this version and the real one.
Shadowsand  [author] 7 Jun, 2016 @ 10:41am 
Not back when I made this you couldn't :P
Unreal Ed 6 Jun, 2016 @ 5:55pm 
You don't have to make custom models. You can use the images with transparency and make them custom tokens and you'll have the right-shaped token
Shadowsand  [author] 6 Jun, 2016 @ 10:12am 
Since making custom models for things is a pain, I used the green/purple cubes for internal/external threat tokens (the number is in their description). Not sure what you mean by 'random pieces'.
Raw Milk Butt Chug 5 Jun, 2016 @ 4:59pm 
Am I missing something or are the threat tokens and random pieces missing?

You can find the German version in the Workshop now. If you need some scans too, please feel free.
Thanks for yours!
Limbo 8 Feb, 2016 @ 10:30am 
Hi, thanks a lot. I have a German copy an would scan the cards.
Shadowsand  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 10:21am 
Sure! I'm guessing everything but the threat cards, you can just save the objects to your chest in TTS? As for the threats, do you have a German copy of the game you're going to scan them from, or would you like the deck images so you can translate them by hand?
Limbo 8 Feb, 2016 @ 8:23am 
Hi Shadowsand,
i´m working on a german translated version of Space Alert and i wanna ask if it would be possible to use some of your pictures please?
Shadowsand  [author] 3 Feb, 2016 @ 10:55am 
Ahh yeah, way back then, I thought i was going to be scanning them in myself within a couple of days, and then I forgot >< If you send them when you can, that'd be great.
Unreal Ed 3 Feb, 2016 @ 10:47am 
I'm still offering to give you the files for the expansion in English, if you wan them. (that said my game is in a moving truck rn, so it'd be once that gets there, hopefully by the 12th)
Lycake 2 Feb, 2016 @ 2:56pm 
Ah yes the tablet is not a good choice to play the computer from. Luckily you can download the mp3s from their website. Easiest solution might be to all download and then simultaneously start the track. Me and my group use Discord (VoIP client like Teamspeak) and a MusicBot to play the tracks. Works absolutely great! I'm sure they will implement custom songs for the built in mp3-player soon, so it will be much easier.

I don't own the english version of the game, so I can't scan the missing parts or the expansion myself, but I'd be willing to mod this into TTS if someone sends me the scans.
Shadowsand  [author] 2 Feb, 2016 @ 10:36am 
So, last I played, the tablet wasn't synced between players - my play group decided to not play for now and hope it was updated. That's why I haven't made the expansion, and am unlikely to do so until we play again.

The 'advanced' threats are ones with yellow symbols. Apparently when I scanned them in, I only did the basic (white) ones. The base game comes with white and yellow threat cards and the expansion adds red.

At the start of the game, you decide what combination of threats you want - you can have any combination of the colours and it only effects difficulty. Back when I played the physical version of this alot, the best we ever did was yellow, and that was REALLY hard, which is why I only bothered scanning the whites initially - I didn't want to waste time on the yellows if it wasn't going to get played much. But, seeing as over 2000 people have apparently subscribed to this, I'll see if I can find time this weekend to scan in at least the base-game yellow cards.
Lycake 2 Feb, 2016 @ 3:32am 
First of all, thank you very much for making this. It has been a blast so far playing through the first introductory missions. I can't wait for the expansion

Since I have never played the physical game, in the handbook there is a mention of "advanced common threats" and "advanced serious threat". In total there should be 55 threat cards, but I can only see 37. There are threat cards with golden symbols instead of purple, I did not see them in game. Are those important? Only part of the expansion? Thanks for any information!
Funnisto 14 Jan, 2016 @ 2:55pm 
Great work! Unfortunately the in-game tablet in my case can only be heard by me, since I am the one pressing play. Is that supposed to be like that? Should I relay everything to all the others even if the tablet works or am i doing something wrong?
Unreal Ed 18 Aug, 2015 @ 2:02pm 
Any news on adding the expansion? I can provide files if need be
Tyrant 2 May, 2015 @ 11:40pm 
Thank you so much.
Arctacia 24 Feb, 2015 @ 8:44pm 
Not bad.
Unreal Ed 22 Feb, 2015 @ 12:05pm 
Awesome! I love this game! Can't wait till you add the expansion.
I wish there was a way to have your character sheet permanent in the game.
