Chat Window - Attack Rolls - Big Icons, Fonts, and Color - Great for TV use

[Thamyor]

Hey, with these steps:

download the extension --> change ext. to zip --> unzip file --> open the extension file --> go to folder themes --> go to folder default --> open theme_settings.xml using notepad or another application.

Then change the value indicated here below with a red underline.
Replace it with a new colour value, you choose and pick the new colour value you'd like here: https://htmlcolorcodes.com

I did that for the fonts and the icons I changed the color using paint.net

Yup! Those are the settings. That will change the font color. To change the icon colors, you'll need to replace the images. The default colors I used were really optimized for SirMotte's hearth theme.

Working on this extension this week... I will tweak a bit for clarity. Will post what I come up with.

Great look forward to it too !!!

I'm running PF2 and decided to try it out and it works beautifully apart from one minor irritant: the critical miss is not working.

I then changed the text match from:

if string.match(rMessageGM.text, "%[AUTOMATIC MISS%]") then

to

if string.match(rMessageGM.text, "%[CRITICAL MISS%]") then

which I copied directly from the chat window, and this is the result:

What am I missing?

Your on the right track, I think that for the ruleset your using, "Automatic Miss", may be named differently, though I know very little about the ins and outs of if this. You could send a DM to celestian he makes many extension for 2E he would have a better answer for your question, it looks like something small to fix?

Good luck!

Which is why I changed it into CRITICAL MISS as I stated in my original post.

Hey, I think I've figured out why it isn't working, the string match, as it is now is set up to recognise the GM text in 5e.

In 5e


In 2e


I think you have to slightly tweak the "%[AUTOMATIC MISS%]" part to also match the DEF EFFECTS

if string.match(rMessageGM.text, "%[AUTOMATIC MISS%]") then

The following two links should be helpful matching it:

https://lua-users.org/wiki/PatternsTutorial

Though I'm not quite sure.

Good Luck!

Use [CRITICAL MISS] instead of [CRITICAL MISS%]

Worth a go !

I just tried both (with and without %) and they both work for me.



But I just remembered that I edited the extension before to make it work in PF2, but forgot which parts I changed. So here is the full block:

			if string.match(rMessageGM.text, "%[CRITICAL MISS%]") then
				-- it is a fumble... reset things to a fumble
				rMessageGM.icon = "roll_attack_crit_miss";
				rMessagePlayer.icon = "roll_attack_crit_miss";
				rMessageGM.font = "attack_roll_crit_miss_msgfont";
				rMessagePlayer.font = "attack_roll_crit_miss_msgfont";
			end
