New Extension: TheoGeek's Improved Critical

[Tielc]

Would it be possible to not show the dice rolls for the dice that are being maximized with this extension? It may be confusing for players seeing 2 dice rolling ie(2d8 = 6 + 4), and then the result is say 8 + 4.

I know you've seen this response already. Mentioning it here for others who may read and spend time responding. There's a good reason why the extension doesn't change the dice rolling but just the result. Details here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post423434

My group is liking the ImprovedCritical extension, thanks Theogeek!

I did notice that in 5e the "half" and "max" modifiers didn't work right (er, at all) when this mod was loaded. With a bit of copy-paste and a few edits I added a branch to check for those 2 descriptions and then set the damage roll to maximum on the die/dice, or half the maximum when those modifier buttons are selected. Lua is pretty straightforward thankfully.

If someone wants to make or use the same mods, let me know.

I never noticed that. Perhaps ou could upload here and then if Theo wants he could incorporate into the first post?

Yeah, I guess I never tried that. I'd be happy to add it to the original extension if I get time. Or, you could make an "Improved Improved Critical"

[Zetesofos]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. This is awesome!

Here's the version I hacked on. Again, in 5e the maximum modifier button maxes all the dice, and the half halves all the dice. The critical mod button works as Theogeek intended.

Theogeek, I updated the announcement text so I could tell the difference in testing, but I have no issues with you modding the original and removing my vanity.

I was being extremely stupid, never mind. I was downloading the mod on my laptop which I am screen sharing with my workstation using Synergy. I was overwriting it in the wrong place.

This latest update is super awesome TheoGeek! I love it. Have you considered making the effect damage optional? I'm not sure how you would do this.

IGNORE ALL THIS...I WAS BEING STUPID: [So, I went to test this but your "hack" got overwritten by my update I was working on before I saw this. Can you re-attach it but name it something else so it doesn't overwrite the one I just uploaded? I'd like to check out what you did and possibly incorporate it into the base extension.]

Just DL'd this and will take a look at incorporating the changes.

Thanks!
