I'm putting in a 'code' section below a copy of the XML file I use on my board (please note '***' that is in front of '_thread' and '_post' should be the PREFIX all the tables in your database have)... except for making the alterations to the table this hack works FINE.

The changes I (as Rukbat at the time) made were for customizing it for MY board/forum (using up to 9 dice with up to 100 faces), and also changing the 'Dice roll with x dices of ** faces: *** points' phrase to 'Dice roll with x dice of ** faces: *** points' because 'dices' is not the plural and it bugged me.

So now....
################### INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS ################
1. Access the database you use for your forum

• open the ***_thread table
  • ADD a field - make the field name 'dice' set it's properties to: 'mediumtext' and 'not null'
• open the ***_post table
  • ADD a field - make the field name 'dice' set it's properties to: 'mediumtext' and 'not null'

2. Upload the images to ./images/dice in your main forum directory, you will need to create the dice folder. (the ZIP file attached below is Blue Dice 1-100.. you will have to download the zip file, extract it and upload all the images in it to the dice folder you created)

4. Copy and paste the below code into notepad (or other xml editor), change the '***' prefix for the tables to the prefix YOUR database has for all it's tables, then SAVE it as: Eikin-DiceRoller-1_0.xml (in notepad 'save' box be sure to have the file type set to 'all files' NOT as TEXT/TXT and the encoding as ANSI):

3. Go into ACP and upload the XML through the product manager. BE SURE TO CHECK-OFF 'YES' for OVERWRITE.

4. Go to a forum and test the formatting (described below).

################# FORMATTING INFORMATION ################
To roll a dice use the following tag,
[dice=X]Y[/dice]
X - The number of dice to roll (This cannot be larger than 9 currently, I'm not a coding whiz and not sure how to fix this but I AM looking into it.)
Y - The number of sides on the dice (This cannot be larger than 100 currently, mainly because I don't feel like making more dice, but if YOU do feel free, just find in the xml file (again using notepadchange the ) the following

if ($faces[$i] >= 2 && $faces[$i] <= 100)

and change the '100' to however many you need it/want it to be, provided you have dice images up to and including that number.

so [dice=1]6[/dice] Roll's 1, 6 sided dice.

NOTE: Currently you CANNOT make a dice roll in the first post of a new thread, only in reply posts. I'm not a coding-whiz so I don't know how to fix it, but I'll try looking into it in the next couple of days and post another reply here.

The hack isn't buggy except for the table altering, as long as you go in and make those changes to the 2 tables yourself via phpMyAdmin (or whatever) it works fine.
