Dice Roll for vB3

Tested in 3.0.7

Update:
The hack has been updated with new instructions, to allow more than one roll per post. If you are updating Please undo the file edits from the previous version before applying the new one. If you are installing this for the first time you're ok.


This hack is most useful to roleplaying communities, but you can also
have fun with it in any forum. It implements a new code, [dice] with which
you can do a dice roll. You can roll as much as 3 dices of 30 faces and as
less as 1 dice of 2 faces.

Once you roll the dice it is stored in the post so you cannot roll again even
if you edit the post or whatever.

Please keep in mind the [img] tag should be disabled in the forum where the dice tag is going to be used. It is not mandatory and the hack will work even with the [img] tag enabled but to prevent cheating I would recommend it.

How to use it:

[dice={dices}]{faces}[/dice]

Example:

[dice=2]25[/dice]
This will roll two dices of 25 faces each one
[dice=1]6[/dice]
This will roll one dice of 6 faces

I am attaching a zip with some sample images.. they are not the best ones but they are dices and show the numbers. If someone could make a new set of dices "prettier" than the ones I got I would be grateful


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

Just a different approach, I guess. My code allows for multiple rolls per post, which is convenient, but you either have to disallow editing or establish a convention that any message that has rolls in it when edited becomes invalid IF the roll was a success/good. It hasn't been a problem as the people on the boards find it useful enough they don't want to abuse it.

Works great! When I make some dice images, I'll be sure to share.
Thanks

I just had a thought as I was expirmenting with it...it would be MORE than great if a bbcode could be made for this, so we could have a button to add it in a post, as opposed to having to insert it manually.

I posted my code so you could play with it if you want. I'm waiting for VeloCD to finish his bbcode admincp before I integrate it.

Just FYI, "dice" is already plural. A single cube is a "die."
