Dice Roller Hack [BBCode]

Dice Roller Hack [BBCode]
RPG Dice is currently a updated version
Another updated version

Note: Updated package includes only the correct XML.

This hack is a port of: Dice Roll for vB3 and permissions was given to port by the following statement.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission.

This hack rolls a Graphic based dice roll in your post and features multiple dice rolls per post. The images are fully editable by those who know how and I must agree that I very much think they need an overhaul, so go for it.

The basic bbcode format is:
[dice=X]Y[/dice]

X - The number of dice to roll, This cannot be larger then 5 currently, this may change later with demand.
Y - The number of sides on the dice.

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

The only limit that I have noticed so far is that dice will not apear correctly when rolled from the create thread editor. I am unsure as to why this is still and am working on this issue. However aside from this it is working as need be. This hack is mainly useful to Game websites that require dice rollers for gambling or roleplaying games. It can add an element of fun to a forum and is adapatable to most dice require situations.

If enough demand is displayed I will work on removing the 5 roll limit or making it larger. The current maximum sides one can roll is 30.

If you enjoy this hack or have it installed, then please click the install button so that you can remain informed when updates occur.

Add that to the select in the same post. It will add another entry to the option drop down.

Nice work cclaerhout!

Although there seems to be another bug, when rolling multiples of a d10 sometimes it drops the last image of the dice. For instances if I do 2d10 I only see one image of the dice and if I do 3d10 I only see 2 images. It seems to replace an image with the "D10" at times.

Here is an example that I have:

The script is executing okay but you are getting red x's instead of two of the images. It looks like those images are missing, either they were accidentally left out of the package or they didn't upload properly to your images folder.

You're missing:

d10_8.png
d10_9.png

One more question, on your interface can you 'mix' the different dice in one roll? i.e. 1d5 1d10 1d20 (1 for # of dice,d for dice, 5/10/20 for # of faces) did that make sense?

"De rien" (translation : you're welcome.

As the original script you can mix dice, but it will give you several windows with one for the D4, one for the D6, one for D10, etc. In fact the roll is the moment whrn you press the "Ok" button. I think it's better to have several windows to count different faces dice seperately.

But you can't launch a 1D5, because D5 doesn't exist in user interface. If you do it manually with the bbcode, the dice window will be blank because the D5 has no picture (i don't think it exists).

In fact i've seen this problem yesterday night (In France it was night) but i was too tired to correct it ;D

It's very easy : picture exist but are called "d10_08.png
d10_09.png" ; rename them "d10_8.png" "d10_9.png"

I've got another question/idea.

I'm using Eiken's drop down menu to choose the dice roll. Is there any way to have that menu ONLY show up in my games forum? So it doesn't appear on all the toolbars in all my forums?

What would the conditional statement for that be? I can express it verbally but I can't code it....

<if forum id = 6>
code for menu here
</if>

But that's not code I know! but what would the REAL code for that be?
