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.
I seem to have found a small bug. If you add another roll to an existing post it will not do the roll but only shows the bbcode. You can do multiple rolls in one post, but you can't seem to add additional rolls to an existing one.
It also doesn't seem to work if I forget to add a roll into a post I made and then edit the post and add the roll.
Also, there is no way for me to explain how to use the bbcode on the forum because the Code, HTML, do not show the code, but instead show [roll0,1,2,3,4] depending on how many rolls are in that post.
if is possible i can see the results for each dice?
I roll 3d10 the output is: 3,6,9, = 18
thx for this mod.
Yes, use [rollv]1d4[/rollv]

I believe the previous mod never supported adding in edited rolls and the bbcode parses, ignoring other bbcodes like noparse. I could change this later but for now, I just wanted to port this over for vb4.0

Oh I totally appreciate the port. I just thought that I would post what I ran across in my tests.
