    Is there a current version of your extension that works with the newest update of Fantasy Grounds?

    It worked fine with 3.3.4 when it was in the Test channel.

    I'm not seeing an obvious command option when I bring up the command list in the chat window. What's the chat command to make this extension work?

    Look in your chat window when starting:

    For the record, and slightly off-topic (sort of), and a Shameless Self-Plug(TM) - the new DORCore Ruleset has this dice functionality (and many others) built in. It may be worth people's time to check it out for their future campaigns.

    Thanks to DMFirmy wherever you are now.
    People seem to be needlessly obtuse about this script.


    If you are looking and confused here are some answers.


    The script is from May 11, 2015 but seems to work (ultimate 3.3.6). You may be better off to simply subtract the lowest number from the total in your head. Still, if it makes things clear for people...




    The extension is still available from the Github link and that is where you should get it:


    https://github.com/DMFirmy/Drop-Lowest


    Choose "Clone or Download" and then "Download zip"


    Expand the download file "Drop-Lowest-master.zip" on your computer and enter the created directory. It should have two files and a 'scripts' subdirectory. Take a moment to read the lua code in 'scripts'. The instructions are in the code. Don't change anything.


    Rezip just the two files and the subdirectory into "Drop_lowest.zip". Use zip with standard settings. change the extension of the resultant file to '.ext'.
    Start Fantasy Grounds. Click the link for your data folder and place 'Drop_lowest.ext' in your extensions sub directory.


    Here are the user instructions from the LUA Script (drop_lowest.lua) ...




    "The \"/rolld\" command is used to roll a set of dice, removing a number of the lowest results.\n"
    "You can specify the number of dice to roll, the type of dice, and the number of results to be dropped "
    "by supplying the \"/rolld\" command with parameters in the format of \"#d# #\", where the first # is the "
    "number of dice to be rolled, the second number is the number of dice sides, and the number following the "
    "space being the number of results to be dropped.\n"
    "If no parameters are supplied, the default parameters of \"4d6 1\" are used."


    So, at the command line "/rolld" gives you your standard character creation drop lowest d6 roll. '/rolld 27d12 5' rolls 27 d12s and drops the lowest 5. It only works for standard dice that FG has graphics for.


    Advice - do yourself a favour and try to understand the LUA code, at least read the comments between quotes like above... Even if a programmer doesn't make time for documentation, their code has to work to be useful so it does something!

    The reason this is nice and more useful than subtracting the lowest amount in your head is that you can drag and drop the result...
