ChatRoller Plugin
This unofficial TaleSpire plugin is for adding chat rolls with optional character sheet lookups.
OBSOLETE: Please use Chat Roll Plugin instead (
Install
User R2ModMan or similar to download and install the plugin. The plugin includes a TaleSpire_CustomData ZIP
file. Expand the ZIP into your TaleSpire game folder. If the TaleSpire_CustomData folder already exists in
your TaleSpire game folder, merge the contents with the existing contents. This will make the radial menu
die icon available for this plugin.
Usage
Open the roll dialog using the keyboard shortcut (LCTRL+R by default but can be changed in R2ModMan config for
the plugin) when a mini is selected or select the die icon from a mini's radial menu. Enter a die roll expression
using the regular D noration (e.g. 3D6). The expression can use basic math operations like plus, minus,
multiplication and division. If the selected mini has a defined character sheet in the TaleSpire_CustomData/Misc
folder then the character sheet replacement will be applied when evaluating the roll. For example, one can define
a Stealth roll which would equate to 1D20+PB+StealthBonus where PB and StealthBonus are also defined in the
character sheet.
The character sheet is a file with a.CHS extension and contains one key/value pairs line separated by the
equal sign. Each key (the left side of the equal sign) will be replace with the corresponding value (the right
side of the equal sign) before evaluating the roll. Text can be added using single quotes and replacement will
not be done with text. When adding text numeric values after text, surround the values in brackets. For example:
Stealth='Stealth:'+(1D20+PB+StealthBonus)
The Char Roller Plugin supports different "edition" or "style" character sheets. The edition is a prefix to the
character sheet file name. By default the edition is set to "Dnd5e" but the default can be changed in the R2ModMan
configuration for the plugin or the edition can be changed in-game by using the correspodning keyboard shortcut
(LCTRL+E by default). For example, to make a character sheet for "Jon" using "Dnd35e" edition, one would create
the file:
`.\TaleSpire\TaleSpire_CustomData\Misc\Dnd35e.Jon.chs`
The "edition" is not important if the Chat Roller is not being used for character sheets. For example, if all of
the rolls are written out like "1D20+3" instead of using character sheet keywords then the edition does not matter.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
