View Full Version : Dice Output In Chat

Hi,

is it possible to output multiple dice strings in the chat on one line?

What I mean is, I roll 3 different dice, instead of getting a single output with the three dice listed, I would like them to display separately on the same line, but in separate boxes.

Or is the system limited to a single box on the right for dice output?

If that is the case, is this a core (as in hard coded) thing or can it be changed in an extension?

Each "chat entry" can only have a single "roll" box.

You could potentially have one line with all the details and first roll; and have no message and just rolls on remaining entries after. You would need to submit multiple chat messages to do that.

Thank you for that ... that is what I have been doing but it clutters the screen a little.

It would have been nicer to list each die on the same line as the final result so a quick scan to the right gives the result you need, and if you are needed seperate information you have it to the left.

Is this a limitation in the actual core programming of FGU? Or is it CoreRPG?

It's part of the "chatwindow" control; and is hard-coded to translate chat "messages" into chat "entries" in the chat window list. It is completely internal; and there is no way to customize other than what is available in the chat messages.
