Tabletop Simulator Backup Tool

This tool locally downloads all content for tabletop simulator games. Helpful if playing games without internet access or if the original content is taken offline.

Initially inspired from this project. Which was badly broken but provided some helpful insights. Additionally useful was this Tabletop Simulator save file format reference.

Everything we care about occurs in this directory (ubuntu/osx):

/home/$USER/My Games/Tabletop Simulator/Mods/

Or (windows)

C:\Users\$USER\Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Mods\

Games are divided into three key parts.

1. The json manifest file is the heart of a mod. Found in the Workshop directory named with a 9 digit number ie 123456789.json
2. Images found in the Images subdirectory
3. Models found in the Models subdirectory
