Customdie as Standard?

[Oberoten]

Is there any way to get a customdie like the D3 to be the default to be rolled for a dice?

I imagine that I will have to look in CHAT_CHAT.LUA for the OnDiceLanded function?

But how do I make a regular D6 landing there call the D3 up instead?

[Oberoten]

Anyone have any solution to this one? I am still dissecting the code... and I am sure I could make it react to any dropped ones or 10s... but that would include any kind of dice...

Yeah its doable. I can put up some code later today and show you.

[Oberoten]

I'd be much obligued.

[joshuha]

In chat_chat.lua under the onDiceLanded replace the dragInfo.isType("dice") section with this:



elseif draginfo.isType("dice") then
dielist = draginfo.getDieList();
for i=1,table.maxn(dielist) do
if dielist[i].type == "d6" then
dielist[i].result = math.ceil(dielist[i].result/2);
end
end

local entry = {};
entry.text = draginfo.getStringData();
entry.font = "systemfont";
entry.dice = dielist;
entry.diemodifier = draginfo.getNumberData();
if User.isHost() then
if ChatManager.getDieRevealFlag() then
entry.dicesecret = false;
end
entry.sender = GmIdentityManager.getCurrent();
else
entry.sender = User.getIdentityLabel();
end
deliverMessage(entry);

applyModifierStackToRoll(draginfo);
return true;
end

[Oberoten]

Glorious. :)

Now the Wild-Die is the standard die for my Ars Magica ruleset. :) Many thanks.

Oh... Just spotted a small problem with this code...
It doesn't add the dice-modifiers to the final roll.

[joshuha]

Move this up to the second line in the above code:

applyModifierStackToRoll(draginfo);

[Oberoten]

After the Dielist? *tries this*

That gives me the modifier, but not the name of the modifier for some reason...

[Oberoten]

Hmmmm...
... when I removed the deliverMessage lines it works perfectly.
I also noticed that it only really breaks when I have /die reveal on.

[Oberoten]

... Perfectly aside from not delivering the description of the roll. But at the least now it adds in the value.

[joshuha]

Try this (I replaced the entry.text line and moved the applyModStack up):


elseif draginfo.isType("dice") then

applyModifierStackToRoll(draginfo);
dielist = draginfo.getDieList();
for i=1,table.maxn(dielist) do
if dielist[i].type == "d6" then
dielist[i].result = math.ceil(dielist[i].result/2);
end
end

local entry = {};
entry.text = draginfo.getDescription();
entry.font = "systemfont";
entry.dice = dielist;
entry.diemodifier = draginfo.getNumberData();
if User.isHost() then
if ChatManager.getDieRevealFlag() then
entry.dicesecret = false;
end
entry.sender = GmIdentityManager.getCurrent();
else
entry.sender = User.getIdentityLabel();
end
deliverMessage(entry);
return true;
end

[Oberoten]

That did the trick for both the D3, D2 and Wild-Die. :) Many thanks. :)
