[Script] Versus: a character competition script with betting

In the olden days of paper gaming, I used to have a player who always wanted to find an inn and pick a fight in the bar, or challenged NPCs to some sort of duel to solve any issue. And I mean any issue. I started thinking about him recently and was inspired to write this script. Versus&nbsp;presents skill contests in a fun, "death match" style dialog. It allows you to pit two characters (PC and NPC) against each other based on any skill or attribute you wish, and allows a betting pool where characters can bet on the contestants and win money. Versus is compatible with the&nbsp;D&amp;D 5th Edition OGL Sheet or the 5e Shaped Sheet. <a href="https://github.com/blawson69/Versus" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blawson69/Versus</a>

I just pushed a fix that will alleviate the intermittent error of not getting the button to start the contest. I also fixed the occasional problem of a character not having an avatar set. It will now default to the token image if there is no avatar to avoid the ugly "missing image" nonsense.
Update: Versus can now run points-based games! You set the number of points your contestants have to reach, and optionally you can set a margin so they have to win by that many points over their opponent. I have also added a "break ties" option for the opposing games. No more disappointment when placing bets on the game!
Is this only able to use with 5e or can other systems use it?

warhammer 4e

UPDATE I just pushed a bug fix that prevented using attributes in 5e Sheet games when the modifier is 0. I also changed the wording in the setup screen to better match the readme instructions.
