Fearless can you make a random DCS release date generator?

Something like -

@fearlessfrog rolled d3000: 2924

fearlessfrog · September 23, 2016, 4:46pm

It seems obvious on retrospect, like most things, but I added the username of who made the roll. Makes it a lot easier to understand what’s going on. Roll on…

dicebot · September 23, 2016, 4:48pm

New example with included username bit:

@fearlessfrog rolled 6d6: 6 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 3 = 25

Yahtzee!

There is a ‘meme generator’ plugin we could add.

I’m not sure if the world need more memes.

There is a canned reply one that might work though. I could alter it:

NineLine · September 23, 2016, 5:13pm

Think of all the time savings if I dont have to go out and find a goofy meme when I could make my own right here!

EinsteinEP · September 23, 2016, 5:42pm

I’ll just leave this here

One could say that FF is on a roll. Badumm Tsch…

dicebot · September 23, 2016, 10:25pm

Snake eyes!

@fearlessfrog rolled 6d6: 5 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 5 = 23

wheelsup_cavu · September 28, 2016, 9:30pm

2d20: 17 + 11 = 28

@wheelsup_cavu rolled 85d30: 26 + 11 + 12 + 20 + 2 + 13 + 20 + 13 + 29 + 23 + 24 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 6 + 22 + 7 + 28 + 23 + 9 + 20 + 8 + 2 + 27 + 30 + 16 + 26 + 22 + 10 + 25 + 19 + 7 + 1 + 17 + 25 + 20 + 18 + 25 + 1 + 30 + 2 + 27 + 19 + 7 + 24 + 3 + 25 + 9 + 5 + 2 + 10 + 4 + 18 + 23 + 5 + 8 + 29 + 4 + 13 + 22 + 5 + 21 + 8 + 21 + 21 + 28 + 20 + 26 + 26 + 6 + 17 + 28 + 6 + 9 + 27 + 6 + 27 + 18 + 26 + 9 + 2 + 20 + 7 + 15 = 1312

Might take awhile for my last one to finish.

I am tempted to do a macro expansion of something like this:

Category:Aircraft weight measurements - Wikipedia

Can probably make it do just images too, which would be good for quiz threads.

fearlessfrog · September 30, 2016, 1:40am

Shut down for a bit until I can fix it up to prevent abuse. RIP @dicebot ol pal…

EDIT …and he lives! Fixed and re-enabled with some special features.

dicebot · September 30, 2016, 5:08am

Nope. Buy @wheelsup_cavu a beer though for finding the over 9 dice bug. and bringing the forum down.

fearlessfrog:

The chat conversation meanders like a herd of kittens in a field of catnip. During one of these lucid dreams, someone (I blame @komemiute by default) mentioned RPG’s and roleplaying paper games. This then led to adding a ‘dice’ macro here. It’s a bot that rolls dice. We’ve reached peak forum.

To use type in a chat or post the following text macro:

NOTE: To stop the dice rolling in this example post, I’ve replaced the square brackets with round parenthesize ( ). To use it for real please use inside those square brackets when typing
(roll d6)
Rolls a six-sided dice.
(roll 2d20)
Rolls two twenty-sided dice.

You get the idea. If the macro inside the [square brackets] is spotted in the text then the ‘dicebot’ bot (ooooh!) takes ownership of the post (to stop editing) and then does the random rolling magic.

I thought about better ways to prevent people from cheating by editing their post, but then realized that if you want to cheat then it would be better to give you that tiny life improvement all things considered and that taking it away would be cruel.

Enjoy!

Let’s see if Dicebot still lives??
