Not sure what version it is...but the date was dated this month. So there's still some confusion (for me) as far as what the latest version/name I'm using.
I have have three extensions to do with rolling requests:
5e_Roll_For_Initiative_Addon_V0.19.ext - LOVE this version but it doesn't work anymore.....my players loved it too
5e_Roll_For_Initiative.ext - not nearly as nice looking interface - can't quite get it to work properly but it does function
RequestedRolls.ext - do NOT like the interface and I can't seem to get to function at all
I echo your sentiments and for the same reasons. Love the old interface and appreciate the time and effort it took to make it. If I can't have what I prefer, I'll just go back to having my players roll. It's really not that big of a deal, it was just nice for a while to use the older version.

The version will be displayed to chat along with the title Requested Rolls when you startup the session. As a note, none of those extensions are compatible with each other.
Regarding RR, I'm not getting substantiated reports of it outright not working, so it's possibly related to your specific setup.

Yeah, I've been using RR in 4 campaigns now, without issue. and we are using 50-60 extensions. So likely some kind of specific extension conflict or duplication

Since there has been a fair amount of traffic today, I may as well share that my next update will feature the return of indicators to show which players have rolls they still need to do. I still have one minor bug to hammer out on that. You will also be able to choose which expander trays show on the console and hide the others.
I may be able to introduce a setting where you click a button in the expander and it sends the roll. Putting the DCs on the expanders is more tricky than anticipated because of the way they are built as a class and FG's limitations. This would be trivial if there was only one field to set DC. I am open to feedback on this, and have created a poll for these.
Edit: also fixed a minor bug for npc rolls that nobody has reportedLast edited by mccartysr; January 11th, 2022 at 13:42.

Just wanted to throw my voice in the ring saying thank you to Mccartysr for the extension at all. Minor quibbles at best, the heart of allowing a DM to request a roll without breaking "the story" and to force those rolls hidden (versus "oops, I forgot the dice tower, but since I rolled a 17 do you still want me to re-roll it?").
For Perception, Investigation and Knowledge checks, I force hidden and don't even enter a DC. I'll figure out who knows what when I see the results. For Saving Throws, or opposed checks, I will enter DC's, but a lot of those things are already automated by effects.

Just wanted to say Thanks to @mccartysr for this extension. I love it. I like the new UI over the old one. More compact and to the point. It did take me a bit to get used to it, but I really do think it is a significant improvement.
Again..Thanks!!

Agree with aboves. The first FGU functionality that I had to pitch out was any and all NPC spell casting requiring a saving throw. My players have demanded “requested rolls'' for saving throws from the get go - which I’ve been doing verbally. This extension brings back so much automation and functionality to the system as a whole.
And a (verbal) request to the whole party for say a Perception check leads to not only Perception rolls outside the dice tower, but to just random d20s tossed in the chat window. Now with this extension, so many of these headaches have vanished.
Having come to the extension recently, I can’t comment on this UI with what was there before. The only (briefly) initially confusing thing to me was the request pop-up window being the manual rolls window - I thought the “manual rolls” option was stuck and I kept trying to turn it off.
