So, uh, unless LawfulNice comes by and asks for the board back, I guess I'm the Admin for now. So, yeah.

Anyway, I've been fiddling with things. All of you have no doubt noticed the subsections of the Homebrew section, and Kwaks appointment as Moderator. That said, some of you might not notice the dice roller I yoinked from somewhere else, so I figured it best to make a thread to mention it.

With that out of the way, consider this the thread to talk about any changes to the board as a whole. Assuming I change much else, this will be the thread where I mention it.

but...what's the point of the dice roller if it doesn't handle keeps and explosions? To keep people from cheating, I guess, but I honestly don't think it's worth it. I'd rather use this thing and the honor system.

...If I know myself at all, this is going to end in me convincing myself to rewrite the plugin to add explosions even though I don't know anything about ZetaBoards plugins.

There should be a button in the Reply menu (next to table) that says Roll. It adds the tags (which are just [roll*] and [/roll*] without asterisks), at which point you just put in XdY, where X is the number of dice and Y is the sides.

Somebody wanted a dice roller, I added a dice roller.

I'm already feeling like it, which is mostly because - as far as I can tell - it's just JavaScript stuff. Here's a link to the plugin itself.

In truth, a Roll & Keep thing would just be making an array equal to the rolled dice, a for loop that rolls the dice (and, if they're a ten, explodes them) and adds them to the array, then another for loop that goes through it and grabs the highest number and puts it into another array (that gets outputted and/or added together and outputted).

Which wouldn't even be a proper Roll & Keep, since it would just assume they wanted the highest dice. But I digress.

I suggested it in the first place, after using it for games that didn't use Roll&Keep, and you're right that it isn't currently worth it.

For now we could set up a Roll20 dice server and link everyone to that. But tweaking the code would be really really cool too

Is there an option when adding a url to automatically fill the text field with highlighted text when you insert a url into a post?

Doc, can you change the default text color from dark grey to black? It really bothers me sometimes, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

That should do it, though I wasn't sure which container was for what, so I basically changed all of them. If you've got any problem with the many things that have black text, then go ahead and mention it.
