i've been playing cor for a few months now and its been annoying to see my screen fly by as i use a roll just as someone else/a trust does and then i cant even tell what my roll was. is there anyway to disable the rolltracker chat log for others' rolls?

I modified my local copy of rolltracker.lua for this very reason. Around line 178, inside the register_event function and after the rollActor variable is assigned, I added the following:

Code
if rollActor ~= player.id then
  return
end


Fair warning that this will get blown away if rolltracker gets an update and you'll have to reapply it.

You should submit that change as a PR. The addon readme states it tracks your roll numbers.

Even better, allow the user to configure it to show only their own rolls or all rolls.

Please don't submit a PR that changes how something has worked for years. Unless it's a cleaner implementation of it.

Now this is fine but it should by default work how it has and have the option to opt in to the change. There are sometimes reasons to not follow this rule.

I agree, backwards compatibility breaks/unexpected changes in functionality are bad - I made the PR suggestion due to the readme technically being inconsistent with what the addon actually does. But a PR for correcting the readme is probably an easier fix XD

I should have caveated my post with a suggestion to first have a conversation about any changes to addons with people in the Windower Discord, to save you time (and tears) in the long run.

For a Simple Rolltracker log line in:

Rolltracker.lua at 222 , : windower.add_to_chat(1, chat.controls.reset..' '..chars.implies..' '..rollInfo[rollID][1]..' Roll '..chars['circle' .. rollNum]..luckChat..string.char(31,13)..' (+'..rollBonus..')'..BustRate(rollNum, rollActor)..ReportRollInfo(rollID, rollActor))
