Chat descriptions

When a PC attacks an NPC the players chat does not say whether it has hit or not.
The DM chat says whether it hits but also the AC of the target

I dont want the PCs to see the AC of the target, and turn the GM chat off for the players, but I also want the players to immediately know if they hit or not without having to tell them myself everytime

Is this possible?

Thanks

This has been discussed and the solution was found. Unfortunately, it's hasn't been fixed. I made made the changes Zaister suggested and now the roll_attack_hit icon is now correctly displayed and my players do not get to see the NPC's AC. Every time the Starfinder Ruleset is updated I have to remember to edit the ruleset and make the changes.

I believe the culprit is line 791 in manager_action_attack.lua, the pattern match does not recognize the text "[HIT vs. xx Defense]" as a hit. I'm not sure why the actualy AC is shown to the players here, so I changed line 646, so that the text inserted in the Messages reads just "[HIT]" (same on line 649 vs CMD). After that the pattern matches, and the correct icon shows up.

I also think the space goblin icons for the various roll_* icons (as well as for the GM portait token) might be outstaying their welcome, now that we do not have goblins in the sidebar anymore. I'd prefer them replaced by something that is more easily distinguishable, like the similar icons in the 3.5e rulset, maybe with a gun icon insterad of a sword, though.

Ill ask if the developers if the core module is being supported

This is currently the output for the TEST version that is currently available (Excuse the debugs as I was testing something):

Attachment 46303

This can't be pushed till Lighting and Vision are released as those Beta changes are intertwined with this update.

Quick question in Pathfinder HIT or MISS is shown on the client chat not the DM chat, is this how it will be implemented?
Thanks again

I verified the output is not showing on the client side. I will add it to my list of things to investigate.
