[ABD] Dice MOD

I am sure my D&D 3.5 community would be more than happy with such a Mod.
With the dozen Play-by-Post games currently going on, this could be a great boon for the Dungeon Masters!

I'm subscribing to this thread and I'll await the pbpBB3.0 version!

I've been following this discussion for some time. I run a Play-by-post RPG website and won't upgrade to phpbb v3 until I have a decent die roller to replace what I already have working in my phpbb v2 installation!

Hi, can someone explain or even better take some screen shots of how this mod presents itself on the forum.. Are the dice rolls a member makes visible to all members ??

This is from the v2 die roller, not this new mod for the v3 phpbb installation, but you'll get the idea:

move Silent Roll
Dice Roll:
Original Roll String: 1d20+4
20-Sided Dice Results: (10) + 4 (Total = 14)

Shoot!
Dice Roll:
Original Roll String: 1d20+4
20-Sided Dice Results: (4) + 4 (Total = 8)

dmg
Dice Roll:
Original Roll String: 3d8
8-Sided Dice Results: 6, 5, 8 (Total = 19)

my players LOVE it, and in my v2 installation, there is a DICE button up by the B i and u buttons. I find it faster to type [ and B and ] then highlight the text and click the button, but some still use the button. regardless, its a GREAT mod.

I won't convert to phpbb v3 until this mod is working !

coppro, is there any ways to expedite the creation of the official phpbb3 version of this (the new design you mentionned) - My users are itching to get this!

Can I coerce you into finishing it faster by offering you a 1 year subscription to my product once you release it? I'd be glad to do so if TOS+ would be of any use to you!! (Check it out by clicking on my Signature)

I'll pay for a second year if it'll help.

All I can offer you is my gratitude, Coppro, and that of my players because we've been waiting over a year, long before you even began building this mod, to get back into the Warhammer game I've been running off and on since March 2003. End of July is the latest I would like to get back to running this, and I won't do it unless I'm running Olympus, which means I also have to have the new dice mod. <sings>No pressure</sings>

the screenshot i took is from a board i run for my pen&paper rpg group.
the phpbb version is 3.0.1 and the dicemod is the one posted in this topic. if you have read my previous postings you would know that i had some problems during installation of the mod, couldnt find a line of code that had to be changed. finally a friend from university helped me out.
the dicemod runs perfectly, if anyone is interested i can upload the changed files.

Took me some time to come back home ...
I uploaded the changed files here.
Anyways dont forget to follow the Instructions from dice.xml.

SQL:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE `phpbb_rolls` (
	`type` varchar( 10 ) NOT NULL ,
	`id` varchar( 31 ) NOT NULL ,
	`sides` mediumint( 9 ) NOT NULL ,
	`text_index` mediumint( 9 ) NOT NULL ,
	`result` mediumint( 9 ) NOT NULL ,
	PRIMARY KEY ( `type` , `id` , `sides` , `text_index` )
)

File Copy:

Code: Select all

1.
Copy: root/includes/dice.php
To: includes/dice.php

2.
Copy: root/language/en/mods/dice.php
To: language/en/mods/dice.php

DIY Instructions:

Code: Select all

Create a new BBCode from the admistration panel. The contents and name are completely irrelevant.
Open up your SQL database, and run the query "SELECT bbcode_id FROM phpbb_bbcodes WHERE bbcode_tag = 'your_new_code_name'".
Ex: If I added a code for "[test]{TEXT}[/test]", I would run "SELECT bbcode_id FROM phpbb_bbcodes WHERE bbcode_tag = 'test'"
You should get a single number. Write that number down, then delete the BBCode from the database through the ACP.
Now, open up the file "constants.php". At the bottom, replace the
text "{CHANGEME:DICENUM}" in the define statement with the number you just got.
