Wiz-War Simulator Part 1

I decided to revive an old project in a new medium with all the free time the recent pandemic created. Wiz-War is one of my favorite games and the pre-8th editions of it have a distinctly different feel from the modern 8th edition. While I know that the utter chaos isn't for everyone, I believe that the older edition needs to be preserved as a part of gaming history as it impacted many modern games like Magic: the Gathering.

As part of this preservation, I decided to recreate the game in Tabletop Simulator. It was surprisingly easy to import everything and have a working game. I simply had to breakdown the images I had of the 5th edition pieces into individual images file and they imported directly into the game. I don't currently have images of all the 5th edition cards, so I used the images from Illya's Magic Stone redesign instead. In the following posts I'll detail exactly what I did and how I solved some of the speed bumps I encountered.
