Yes, they are the select all, et al buttons and they have tooltips.
It uses the DMs modifiers. The change allows it to use things like the +2, -5 modifiers.and takes advantage of all of the rulesets built in modifier handling code and other extensions.
Yes, this would let you add skills like the tools and what not. My goal is to let the user add these on the fly, which is not feasible in the old model.

Regarding requests for the buttons, I honestly don't know. The old setup used a lot of handjammed information and multiple obfuscating class layers, and now almost all of the roll options are loaded from DataCommon. I use the comboboxes because they are easily backed by a DB field with options that are as easy to add as putting the string I want to add.

I’ve been looking for this extension idea (I play PFRPG)! It’s not D&D without “Make a saving throw!” after a NPC spell cast action. Hoping this is compatible with Kelrugem’s overlay and tag extension for PFRPG…

To be honest, the simplicity of clicking on the buttons vs pull down makes the tool useful to me. Without that, I might as well just ask the players to roll.
Putting extra work on the GM each time they want to have players roll a check/roll is already high on the list of doing stuff for the GM. So the extra steps of pulling down each thing you want is very tedious for me as a GM and I'm very likely just to not use it.

I had absolutely no idea this extension had been abandoned until today when I started getting the [WARNING] ( rollOverrideRequestId not found) error.
I disabled both Automatic Shield Master and Automatic Save Advantage and haven't had any more problems....yet.
Also, Kent Mcullough (author of the two above extensions) was completely unaware of the conflict with Requested Rolls. I let him know about the issue tonight.
Maybe, the two creators can collab.Last edited by BushViper; December 8th, 2021 at 03:38.

V2.0-beta
I have released an updated version of Requested Rolls into the "Test" channel. This is a beta test for the a major version change and if someone had coded something to work with previous rolls, this would likely break those.
If you don't want these changes, you should stay in "Live". However, I would appreciate any feedback, to include that it is working. Please note the list of known shortfalls and changes below before reporting something.
See the attached picture for what the new changes look like.
New good things
- Adds support for PFRGP2, SFRPG, and 3.5E (continues to include PFRPG and 5E)
- Plays nice with more extensions. Specifically, Automatic Save Advantage, Automatic Shield Master, 5e Indicators
- Console is a lot smaller and compact. Uses drop downs for the roll types. (See the picture)
- Uses the manual rolls window to show rolls to player. Bonus: This makes this work nicely if you want this and manual rolls at the same time.
- Does not create popup rolls when the saves don't have an opponent. i.e. When the player click save on their character sheet. (Still creates them from versus rolls.)
- Select random will now select the character, if only one is available.
Known shortfalls
- Does not create popups for death saving throws and concentration saving throws.
- I have heard feedback that some users prefer the buttons. I have ideas for this, but they are not in this release.
Ideas I would like feedback on
- Moving the hidden roll button above the drop downs and creating one consolidated field for the DC next to it. This would remove the DC fields in the individual save boxes.
