Title: Dice roller added to posting area
Post by: stog on June 26, 2010, 05:22:58 PM
now uninstalled 9-8-2010This mod allows users to roll dice. You can use the preview function to preview dice rolls to make sure they have it right for what you want, but once you press Post, the dice rolls are embedded in the post, meaning that the only way you can change is if the post is edited, but a warning is issued if that is attempted.

It starts from a [roll] tag, and outputs a (http://www.fibsboard.com/Themes/Fibsboard/images/dice_warn.gif) This dice roll has been tampered with!
tag (implemented just for the mod) - trying to use the blockquote tag outside of [roll] circumstances (such as quoting the post, or better, editing the post) generates a visible warning.

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