I added a dice rolling function.

You can preview dice rolls, but the die is re-rolled and finalized once you press Post, and editing the post will produce a warning.

There are a variety of options you can have inside the roll tag:

[roll]1d6[/roll] - rolls 1 6-sided dice.
Might result in:


    Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2


[roll]2d12+5[/roll] - roll 2 12-sided dice and add 5 to the result
Might result in:


    Rolled 2d12+5 : 6, 11 + 5, total 22


[roll]2d20^10[/roll] - roll 2 20-sided dice, re-rolling any result necessary so that the dice rolls are greater than 10.


    Rolled 2d20^10 : 3 8 10 3 17, 2 10 9 10 14, total 31


[roll]2d20v10[/roll] - roll 2 20-sided dice, re-rolling any result necessary so that the dice rolls are less than 10.


    Rolled 2d20v10 : 11 3, 3, total 6


[roll]2d20<10[/roll] - roll 2 20-sided dice, discarding any result where the roll was not less than 10.


    Rolled 2d20<10 : 4, 20, total 4


[roll]2d20>10[/roll] - roll 2 20-sided dice, discarding any result where the roll was not greater than 10.


    Rolled 2d20>10 : 9, 10


Normally it will add the word 'Rolled' in front - you can customise this. For example, a spell that does some serious damage in a game:
[roll]{Freezing} 1d10 {Fire} 1d20[/roll]


    Freezing 1d10 : 1, total 1
    Fire 1d20 : 2, total 2


You can also nest the requirements, with the proviso of stating the things as they are in order here.
[roll]{Uberdamage} 15d100+10^10v90<80>20[/roll] - 15 100-sided dice, adding 10 to the result, rerolling anything 10 or less, rerolling anything 90 or higher, and if after that, you have values 20 or less, or 80 or higher, they get dropped.


    Uberdamage 15d100+10^10v90<80>20 : 82, 7 61, 3 36, 59, 30, 86, 14, 42, 70, 22, 99 58, 100 73, 46, 93 1 91 42, 12 + 10, total 549


Lastly you can also have an iterator at the end:
[roll]2d6x3[/roll] - roll 2d6 3 times and display the results overall


    Rolled 2d6 : 6, 3, total 9
    Rolled 2d6 : 1, 4, total 5
    Rolled 2d6 : 1, 5, total 6[/nobbc]

This dice roll has been tampered with!
'D1' is not a valid dice string!

Darn

This dice roll has been tampered with!
'D6' is not a valid dice string!

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

Love the anti-cheat mechanism!

[Thisisnotasmile]

So... Can we make forum Perudo work with this?

Rolled 5d6 : 5, 1, 6, 5, 3, total 20

[Thisisnotasmile]

I bid 6 5s.

I WAS JUST THINKING HOW GREAT THIS WOULD BE YOU ARE PSYCHIC sorry, this just freaked me out because I was JUST thinking about how this would be cool.

Rolled 10d10 : 9, 3, 2, 7, 10, 10, 2, 9, 9, 1, total 62

Rolled 2d6 : 5, 5, total 10

It still seems pretty easy to cheat. You can just put your output text in blockquotes, right?

edit: guess not, but I was able to re-roll a couple times. This post hast currently been edited/rerolled 3 times

Edit 2, watch I will re-roll until I get doubles.

[sudgy]

Well, I could see you editing.  To make sure you don't cheat the games could say that edited posts won't count.  You can't edit posts in forum games...

Eh if I quote your post I can see its not a roll and is just a blockquote.

Testing the feature:

Rolled 1d8 : 3, total 3

I'm pretty sure any quoted post will show the person cheated

[Jerk of All trades]

^^^  See.  I'm assuming Winterspartan did not cheat.  But when I quoted him it did.

But It doesn't matter.  If you can't edit in forum games, you can't cheat.  Theory's code works, because it just detects illegally using blockquotes to fake a roll.

[WinterSpartan]

Ah. Yes, you can tell I didn't edit my post/cheat because it doesn't have the "Last edit:" tag at the bottom. Still, that's potentially problematic.

The problem with the feature as being unrelated to forum games is that it causes the warning to appear no matter what the intention of the blockquote function was.

If you edit within X minutes, you dont get that.

:O  You're right!

[theory]

I wasn't aware that people ever used [ blockquote ] before.  Did we already have that tag and I didn't know about it?

Basically, I think every time you try to manually type in [ blockquote ], you get that ugly error.  The only way to get that blockquote effect is to use the [roll] function.  Therefore, you cannot make a fake roll that looks like a real roll.

This means that quoting rolls will generate that cheat effect (since it looks like you are trying to fake a roll).

[blockparty]*does a little dance*[\blockparty]

[theory]

FYI it does bug out if you use the Quick Reply box at the bottom, and then hit Preview.  That turns the roll code into blockquote tags, and then you aren't posting the roll code any more, just the [block quote] code.

Quite possibly the code wasn't active before. I'm used to using the command with html, and I've occasionally used it here as <blockquote>, but, well, to no real effect.

(Although using <b> broke the forums awhile back... Whooops!)
