Lastly, it would be nice if we could have some level of board size automation for when it comes to how many tiles we start with. It's annoying having to google what the tile count is per board size followed by delete 29 tiles every time I wanna do a 5x5 game. Idk what the most elegant way of accomplishing this would be. Be it separate bags for each board size, a scripted UI or something else entirely.

But given that the grid is odd with, having the bags align with the grid is a bit annoying, so it might be worth to setting snapping to "both".

A good grid size I found to be about 2.85 with an offset of 1.425 with snapping set to center.

Hey, I like this, but I have a few issues.
1.) The tiles matching the boards makes the pieces hard to see at times and gives one player the advantage. A high-contrast board would be appreciated so to avoid camouflage.

2,) Does not utilize grid snapping.

3.) Pieces are not naturally stackable.

4.) Moving towers is. . . difficult, given the prior 2 issues.

Oh hey! Thank you so much for the kind words!
I made the board image myself, I was gonna send you the one I uploaded for the workshop, but turns out I have a bigger res version of it!
Feel free to download it here [drive.google.com]!

@Deinol Thanks for the great workshop model! This has been a great way to introduce this game to my online friends. I am making a copy for myself IRL and wanted to know where you got the board image? Only having one board but getting every possible side is an awesome/thoughtful bit of board design. If you know where I could download the image for myself or if you could send me a copy I would really appreciate it <3

The board design is made to allow you to play using the size you want (You can use the diamonds for 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8, the light squares for a 5x5 board as stated on the official Tak guide and you could use the dark squares for a 7x7 board. About the pieces, you have a bag with the max pieces possible on a game (50 pieces and 2 Capstones for the 8x8 game), so you can just use as many as you need.

You can use the chart in https://ustak.org/play-beautiful-game-tak/ as a guide.

Can I adjust the board size and number of pieces? Just wondering if I need to do this manually or there is a place in game to manage it

^^

This is an OUTSTANDING rendition of the game. Plays like a charm!

I take note ^^

Next time you revise it, could you change "wall" to "standing stone"? Calling them walls seems to make it harder for people to understand that you can move them.

You're welcome! :D

Thx for the game man, \o

Yeah, I realised, should be making them a new texture whenever I can find some spare time. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for making this. If I may, the light brown pieces are the same color as the light spaces making them hard to see when you have a top down view. Can you make the pieces stand out a bit more?

I'm glad you like it!

This digital board is actually easier on the eye (and to use) than the real one I got on Kickstarter. Thanks!

If somebody didn't know it there is playtak.com as another way to play this beatiful game.

Oh, glad that its fine, would have been a pain to me to have to fix again something like that x)

Ahh, I figured out what the issue is, those pieces are just coming out flipped, meaning just pressing F fixes it just fine. Yeah it's a non issue, just seemed weird at the time.

Back when I made this, the "standing" position of the pieces gave me a bad time trying to position them properly, but at the end I did it, this means that I'm sure that they're not doing that because I forgot to pose them properly. This means that something else will be causing it, again, I take note and will be checking all this stuff as soon as I can. Thanks for the feedback :)

Sorry, one last little quibble and I'll be out your hair. Seems that roughly half the circle pieces had their standing state set on the wrong round end for some reason as shown here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=764695118 (or maybe I'm just missing something, I can't tell, it's been awhile since I've messed with TTS proper)

I cleaned up all the pieces so they they all come out the same way every time, and none of the 'upside down' circles are there anymore, here's a save of the cleaned version if you want to investigate: https://www.dropbox.com/home?preview=TS_Save_50.json Should go into save slot 50 but you prolly know that, sorry for the nitpicks just wanted to bring it to your attention. c:

Thanks for the note, I'll update it soon!

Just as a note for the 5x5 game the rules have been updated in the lastest rulebook, and that calls for 21 pieces rather than just 20: http://cheapass.com/sites/default/files/TakBetaRules3-10-16.pdf It also includes piece-count for playing 3x3... I mean whoever plays that but there ya are.

I had the older version floating around but honestly it was kinda hot garbage compared to this, thanks for doing this up mate. Primo stuff!

Glad to hear that! Thank you for playing it!

Great mod! I played my first round of Tak ever with this :) Thanks for making it!

:O Thats so cool!

Buying the game simply because you've made this =)

Thank you!

I suspected that you'd have to create a separate model. Glad it worked. Looks great!

GifCam for recording, Photoshop for editing ^^

Great Mod! What did you use to make the Gif? It looks really pro

Allright, is done, now changing piece positions using states is a thing, I've uploaded a gif so you don't even need to get ingame to see how it works!
Thanks again Waldo for the suggestion :P

Thanks for the offer, but I have to reject it. I've been already working on it! :D
The problem I found is, since the only change between states is the rotation, they doesn't work properly (The piece changes state, changes its name between "Flat piece" and "Wall", but keep the position).
I'm going to fix this simply re-exporting the "Wall" piece, as a new model, and blend them into one, making "Flat piece" use the laying model and "Wall" using the standing one.
As soon as I fix it, I'll post the update and give you credit for the feedback and suggestion on the comments of the Workshop page. Thank you!

I'd be happy to make a piece with states. It would be an easy change. I could upload the entire mod reworked or just the piece for you to incorporate, which ever you'd prefer. Or neither if you'd rather just leave it alone. Thanks for the mod!

I didn't made a Tabletop Simulator mod in a while so I don't remember so much, I'll re-learn and maybe do it, thanks for the suggestion :)

This is the best Tak mod on the workshop, IMO. Might I suggest that you give the normal pieces states, with the second state being the piece turned up as a standing stone? That would make things easier.

w00000t! Who wants to play!
