MD Ability Rolls Extension - by Matrix Dreamer
(CoreRPG)
This extension has several methods used to generate character ability stats.
These methods can be accessed using the chat slash commands defined below or
through the dice button on bottom of character sheet.
The character sheet die will roll the default method when clicked, or
the GM may use the right-click radial menu to choose a method.
For GM to set the default method used by Players (where # is the method number)
Use: /mdrollsetdefault #
Roll Methods defined
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
DefaultMethod
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Use: /mdrollstats
For Players and GM this rolls the default method set by the GM.
Method1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Use: /rollstatsm1
Common Name: 4d6drop
Generates six rolls by rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest die.
Stats range from 3 to 18.
This is probably the most commonly used method.
Method2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Use: /rollstatsm2
Common Name: 3up3down
Generates six rolls using the following calculations.
Stats range from 9 to 18.
This one generates a balanced mix of stats.
10 + d6
15 - d6
10 + d8
15 - d8
8 + d10
17 - d10
Method3
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Use: /rollstatsm3
Common Name: herostats
Generates six rolls by rolling 2d6+6.
Stats range from 8 to 18.
This one generates more "hero" like stats.
Method4
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Use: /rollstatsm4
Common Name: epicstats
Generates six rolls by rolling 2d6+8 (cap at 18).
Stats range from 10 to 18.
This one generates more "epic hero" like stats.
===============================
Some notes for developers:
I have learned much from working on this Extension, and welcome others to use my code as examples for their work.
I have found that these forums have very good people with generally good conversations, but sometimes lacking in specific information on Extension coding.
FG has almost nothing for documentation, and it can be quite difficult to find information on coding questions.
Features of note for coders interest:
Save and retrieve settings for your extension (persisted settings by user)
OOB communications (passing user defined messages back and forth between clients/host)
Radial menus (two deep)
Dice rolling and modifying results on the fly
Thanks,
