Here's a demo of
Tuxz0r's BBCode dice:
http://roleplayerguild.com/f3/new-dice-system-52860/. I wanted to contact him but his website isn't online anymore.
I chose it because the
AdX+B notation is more useful for play-by-post roleplaying. I also like the minimalism of just text output.
To make the dice rolls stand out though, I added some left padding to the roll so I could stick a dice image in there as a background.
Screenshot:
Simple line of CSS:
HTML Code:
.diceroll {
padding-left: 20px;
background: url('http://IMAGE-URL.gif') no-repeat;
}
I just took a dice image off Google, shrunk it, and changed the background. Here's the image on a white bg:
You'll need to shrink it more to fully display inline with the text of the dice roll unless you add
HTML Code:
display: block;
height: 23px;
to the CSS i provided above.
The BBCode still doesn't work in the initial post of a thread, unfortunately. My understanding of vBulletin coding is very limited but I'll try to fix it. I know the guys working on the original hack in this thread fixed theirs, so I'll see if I can cross compare the hacks and see what I can change.
Thanks for everyone's contributions to this thread. I enjoyed reading yall's collaboration.
