Power text not outputted to chat

[Maldev]

4E Ruleset
No extensions loaded
Win 10
16g RAM

G'day, After the last update and using the 4E Ruleset I have noticed that
Previously, From the Character sheet: Double clicking the text in a power in the powers tab would show that text in the chat window
This no longer functions

Cheers

Hi. Should I post the above message somewhere else, considering there has been no response? :confused:

This power to chat feature is something I and my players use EVERY session.
As a DM, when a player says they are using "Hack and Hew" for example, I ask them to put it in chat.
A/ As a DM I can quickly see what the power does, without having to open the Player's sheet myself (which is a time waster when they can double click the power)
B/ The other players can see what the power does as well, which is obviously more inclusive for the group.

I am hoping it will be re-implemented ASAP.
I cant understand why it would be removed.
Cheers

Sorry there has been no reply. There has been many changes to how the powers have been configured and things may have changed. We can look into it, but this may be the new system moving forward.

Looking into it would be much appreciated. :)
It's not an occasional use feature.
It is a feature that is used on every player's turn, sometimes 2 or 3 times in one turn when they are strategising.
So in a given session it will be used as many times as player attack rolls are made.
Cheers

G'day there. I am just following up to see if this feature is returning any time soon. :o

It is almost as quick, can you use the feature that lets you copy the reference link to the power to the chat? That seems like it could work instead

There is currently no ETA as this hasn't floated to the top of the list to look over. No decision has been made till it can be examined and then decided.

Thanks man, we do use it sometimes.
The other way is just instant and requires no one else to do anything except read chat :)

[Maldev]

Thanks for replying.
I get it. 4E isn't a top priority lol
I'm NOT being a smart arse. :)

What exactly did the previous output look like?
Did it push the description to chat when you "used" the skill like the Sharing is Caring extension?

G'day, I can't show exactly what it looked like anymore, but this image is from the chat log of a campaign.
57240
From the character sheet you double click the text in the power "box"
57241
And the power text would appear in chat for all to see.
I am unfamiliar with the Sharing is caring ext.
Cheers
Edit: Didn't see prior post..

Just looked at Sharing is Caring ext. It says 5E and 2E/2E PF only

Try this extension for a temporary fix. Worked for me.

(I know it prints the power name twice, but the extension calls all the original functions to make sure nothing is missed, then adds the full text afterwards.)

Just tried it. Works perfectly!
Thanks for the replies and the fix, sensational :)

Yes Sharing is Caring is not for 4E. I was just going to make a cut down version for you but gamerhawaii has just done that already!
