Hello everyone!

Today, I’m taking a brief break from my premium modules to share a massive update for one of my free modules.

Some of you might not know this, but before I launched the Smartphone Widget, I created a utility module called "Character Chat Selector." It was designed to solve a simple problem: "I want to roleplay as different characters without finding and selecting tokens every single time."

I have completely overhauled the codebase to bring you a polished experience, and I am thrilled to release this as the v3.0 Remastered Update!

🔥 What’s New in v3.0?This isn't just a compatibility fix. It’s a complete visual and functional upgrade:

v13 Compatibility: Fully tested and ready for Foundry VTT v13.

Visual Overhaul: Enhanced visual customization, now featuring the all-new animated Energy Glow effects.

Rich Text Support: Now supports Markdown and Ruby Text (Furigana) for immersive chatting.

Smart Utilities: Dynamic HP tinting (portraits turn red as HP drops), Message Editing, and improved Hotkeys.

It’s completely FREE, so please give it a try! It will significantly clean up your chat interface and speed up your roleplay.

⬇️ Download & Installation:You can find it directly in the Foundry VTT module browser by searching for "Character Chat Selector", or install via the manifest link below.
