Miscellaneous Hacks - Dice Roller [BBCode]

With tuxz0r's permission, I have ported his version of his dice roll mod for vb 4.0. This also fixes the first post issue.

Shameless copy paste from tuxz0r's post:
This mod uses the standard AdX+B notation where

A = the number of dice to roll (1 if not present)
X = the number of faces on the dice
B = represents a modifier, usually a + or - but also a divides or multiply.

I also need it to do certain things like, only show the sum/result of the roll or show all the die results and the sum of the roll. I also wanted the ability to do open rolls, e.g. if you roll 6, six sided die, you keep rerolling any dice that come up a 6.

So, basically, I have concocted three different bbcodes in one product:
[roll]1d4[/roll] - for rolling and showing only the results or sum
[rollv]1d4[/rollv] - for rolling and seeing the result of each dice as well as the sum
[rollo]1d4[/rollo] - for open rolls

Each of these takes and optional label for the roll, to be included in the tag after the '=' sign, e.g. [roll=to hit]4d6[/roll] and so forth. It is, however, optional as the actual notation for the roll is displayed before the results in the final posting.

So, for example, you can enter rolls like the following:

[roll]4d6[/roll] to get the sum of 4 six sided die.
[roll]d%[/roll] for a percentage roll (same as 1d100)
[roll]4d6b3[/roll] to roll 4 six sided dice and only sum the "best" three results

Installation:
1. Upload class_dice.php into vb's includes folder.
1. Import product-dice.xml.

does it work for 4.1.3 ?

[MissSavitri]

I have 4.1.3 and every time I use any of the above codes, it comes back with an error.
For instance, I copy and pasted the above and when I posted it on my forums, it came out with the following:

[roll0] - for rolling and showing only the results or sum
[roll1] - for rolling and seeing the result of each dice as well as the sum
[roll2] - for open rolls

So, for example, you can enter rolls like the following:

[roll4] to get the sum of 4 six sided die.
[roll5] for a percentage roll (same as 1d100)
[roll6] to roll 4 six sided dice and only sum the "best" three results

Works perfectly on my vB4.1.4 board, no errors

[LuMiS!]

Works fine for me in 4.1.5 ...

[Lemrith]

still works damn fine in 4.2.2pl4

just a side question - how to get [rollv] to show the induvidial dices without the sum?

[justasiam]

Is there any way to make this work in vB5?

[ProfC]

It works well enough on vb4.2.2 pl4, but for some reason doesn't work when being edited into posts.
