Have the BRP skill comment in CoC

[Isembard]

In BRP when you make a skill roll a comment appears in the chat window informing of success, failure etc.
Would it be difficult to add similar code to the CoC ruleset to get the same effect.
If so could someone advise where the code is likely to be?
It's a minor feature but a good one and I'd love to have it for Cthulhu.

Suspect it would be an easy patch - however whilst I own BRP, I don't have a copy of the Call of Cthulhu ruleset, so don't know what code there is there to be patched.

If I ever pick up a copy, I'll take a look. (Or if Smiteworks want to "loan" me a copy, that would work too !) Otherwise, perhaps someone who DOES own both might want to step forward ?

The results are handled, believe it or not in the MyQuest extension Script file brpscript.lua. It was incorporated directly into the rulesets during one of it's updates. If you can take the bit of code in the function GetRollResult, and put it into an equivalent CoC extension, it should work hunky dory. Haven't had a chance to look at the CoC side yet, but this should get you started.

Like Phantom_Whale said a minor patch.

Sorry, I meant myqquest.lua If you're altering the extension, brpscript.lua in the core ruleset (they're both the same file).
