Custom Chat Icons

[markjlyon]

I want all icons in the chat window to be customize-able. I want the GM and NPC icons to be select-able just like the PC icons are select-able. If I choose a token for an NPC I want that token image to appear in the chat window.

It appears that the GM icon is hard-coded into a resource file. I want to change this from static to dynamic. Where is the code that reads the hard-coded location of the GM icon so I can correct it?

I assume it is either in a Lua script somewhere or C++ in the fantasygrounds.exe.

How do I contribute to the development of this project to get the changes I want?

open up the 5e.pak and dive in.
its actually a zip file.

use a good text editor or a programming tool to assist in highlighting and navigating the lua and xml...

a lot of this code is also in the CoreRPG.pak too...

I don't think this is quite what he/she wants. It sounds like the OP wants the GM icon to be changed during the game session by clicking on it (and bringing up a UI such as the portrait UI).

Can't do that with the current environment.
