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.

Added new dice images which where provided by Rukbat.
what problem are you having Ziki-set?
First thing to do is check your database and be sure the 'dice' field was added to both the 'thread' and 'post' tables. When you test it you can't start a thread with a post that includes a dice roll, unless Eikinskjaldi figured out how to fix that problem, the hack had that problem even when it was for 3.0.7 before it was ported here.
EDIT: 10:32pm CDT
Be sure the path to the dice image files is correct in the xml file before importing it. the default is /images/dice. Check and be sure you uploaded/ftp'd the gif files to dice folder in images folder. That's all I can think of for now.
dang it! what did you do to get it to roll 9 die at once?
I've gotten it to roll 10 separate times in a single post but only up to 5 die....
EDIT: n/m, i got it to work up to 9 die, now going to go for 10
who me?
I just went into PHPmyAdmin and added the fields to the ***_threads and ***_posts tables myself. Not sure if the problem within the product was resolved or not, anybody install this since Eikinskjaldi updated the xml file?
