    CoC Dice Tower

    Is there an existing extension to add a Dice Tower to the CoC Ruleset. My group and I are somewhat interested having one.

    There used to be an old extension called TheBox that was generic.

    The new dice tower code in 3.5E and 4E is more integrated to support all the various dice roll types and handling the results specific to each system. However, if someone were adventurous, you could pull the bits you needed from one of those rulesets to make a generic extension using just the "dice" roll type.

    Cheers,

    I think the BRP ruleset has a secret dice box, so that might be added to a future release of CoC quite easily.

    Yes, I have found the box recently, and got into the ruleset, however there is one problem. When dragging the skill, or sanity check dice into the box, it does not roll just a d100, it rolls a d100+d10+0, so three dice get thrown. The 10s, and 1s of the d100, plus a d10. I think it is due to somewhere in the CoC ruleset where the dicethrown for these is defined as d100, d10 and the box is breaking the d100 into two dice, and then the d10 is an extra d10. I will get around to posting code perhaps in the Workshop.

    I've pm the writer of the TheBox, but his profile shows he hasn't been here in over a year, and his website link is dead as well.

    Okay, first attempt at a Dice Tower extension for CoC.

    Based on TheBox by Dachannien, and with help from Dakadin.

    Attached some screenshots, showing what the Dice Tower looks like, before, and when dropping dice, and what the chat window shows.

    The extension is attached as well.

    Thinking that maybe the elder sign in the chat window may need to be a bit smaller.

    Nice work - I'd certainly shrink it a little though !!!

    Revised extension, there was a bug that was not allowing players to create new notes.

    It has been fixed.

    Ahh...I've changed the image in this one, but changing it is rather easy.

    Insanity is relative, it depends who has whom locked in what cage.
