+ttsmirror
+=========
+
+Copyright (c) Andrew Williams 2015
+
+A quick tool to parse a Tabletop Simulator save file, mirror the required
+elements locally, and produce an updated save file.
+
+Due to the numerous takedowns of several popular game saves, its useful to
+mirror any games you wish to play, while TTS itself actually caches the content
+if for some reason the local cache gets invalidated then the game is no longer
+playable. The solution is to build a mirror which you can host on a server
+of your choice.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+    usage: ttsmirror.py [-h] save_file output_path url_prefix
+
+```ttsmirror.py``` takes three arguments:
+
+* ```save_file``` - the original TTS .json file.
+* ```output_path``` - the directory you want the mirrored files to be sorted.
+* ```url_prefix``` - the new prefix to add to any assets linked by HTTP/S (for example ```http://mywebsite.com/ttsmods/mod1/```).
