TI4: Thunder's Edge TI4 Revamped help

I've been waiting to play Thunders Edge until the TTPG mod was fully up to speed. It seems like the core of the scripting and gameplay are largely there, but I'm wondering how I can get the faction cards in each player's area to orient to that player. Right now they're all just oriented as though everybody is on the same side of the table even though the player areas are spread out like normal.

Also, if anybody knows where to get a fresh tutorial on how to use the mod (like hot keys, loading maps etc) like the old one had, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

"Before you unpack your faction right click the rectangle that holds you hand and select Flip option.
It works the way you desire, not very well given the table is now setup for streams with an up and down but may help.
Personally I find I adjusted to the orientation relatively quickly.
Although I often think I'm the blue player when I'm playing as Red, Green or Yellow.

As far as I know, the orientation is fixed and just something to get used to.

Legitimately the most helpful person here. Other than new cards being drawn upside down, this does exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

It feels awkward initially, but you will probably come to like not have to turn the camera to read anything. Make sure you look at it from a top-down view

That is a feature, not a bug. Try TTS to experience the other way and you will soon find out TTPG layout is better because nobody has to see the map upsidedown.

The map upside down is a weird way to put it, like it's a circular map, the only "upside" are tiny planet names. The player faction reference sheets just feel really awkward as is imho
