NEW PbP BBCODE for DICE Rolling!

[admin]

Getting very annoyed with Invisible Castle being down, I've decided to add a Dice Rolling Module to the Forum...

When composing a message, you'll see the new DICE bbcode which cab be used to roll dices!

admin rolled 1d6:

This Mod has all the basic math (add/subtract/multiply/divide) so you could have something like 10/(3d20+3)*-2.5) within the dice BBCode. One limitation of this module (and this is actually the ONLY module currently available to roll dice in PBPBB3) is that you can't have [at this time] multiple dice like 1d4+3+2d6, which would have been useful for a Rogue, for instance.

You can test the dice bbcode in the DICE BBCODE Testing Area! thread!!

Question: Is it possible to roll the same thing multiple times? Like if a DM asks you to roll 10 perception checks, can you create a dice mode like:

Code: Select all

[dice = num(10)]1d20+10[/dice]

where it would spit out 10 rolls of 1d20+10?

I'll ask the creator...

While you're at it, ask the creator if he'll get to adding the ability to total multiple dice.
(i.e. 1d8+3+2d6 or 1d20+1d4)

I updated the Dice mod... here is the Changelog:
0.8.4:

• repaired math parsing
• put dicemod version number into the db

0.8.3:

• fixed bug: broken dice quotes in new posts created via quote button
• enabled preview without dice bbcode parsing
• enabled disabling of dice bbcode by disabling bbcode in a post
• enabled disabling dice bbcode parsing by placing it within [code][/code] bbcode
• hopefully fixed issue with dice rolls being assinged wrong post_ids

Remember that this is still in "beta' testing and is prone to errors!!

This is how you use the totalonly tag for rolling dice WITHOUT the individual die result showing (usually, you want the total!)

Code: Select all

[dice=totalonly]2d6+3[/dice]

results in:

admin rolled 2d6+3 and got a total of 6.
