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.

I am having the same problem as Campbell, the images are showing up for the user interface, the small dice icons, but when posting all you see is the [dice0][dice1] etc, no images of the dice at all. I have tried several times to get this to work with no luck. Any ideas?

[Eq4bits]

I would suggest pm'ing the person, can't remember who they are, that posted the 'interface' version. Only support I can offer help with is for the 'ORIGINAL' dice hack that is this actual thread...

[Eq4bits]

oh and I haven't had ANY problem with the install of this hack even after upgrading from 3.5.4 to 3.6.2

[Olli460]

Has the dice being rolled from the thread creator glitch been fixed yet?

[Eq4bits]

I can roll dice in the first post of a thread with the one I am using (NOT the fancy schmancy interface one... the one with up to 9 dice and 100 faces)

[pewp]

is there any way to get any of these to work in the shoutbox?

[abramelin]

is this working on 3.6.4?

[Eq4bits]

mine is working fine... not the fancy interface one that is in the middle of this thread somewhere but the original one

[Renmiri]

Couldn't get it to work

But the good news is that I got it to work as just a bbcode, with no database changes...

Of course it is much simpler than the Hack: It doesn't prevent users from editing their posts and changing the dice roll.

PS: Since it is a simple bbcode, it works on the shoutbox too
