Help on Dice BBCode!

Hi, neighbours and friends...

I'm trying to make a new bbcode for Role Playing Games and whatever a random number generation could be for.

I used to use it for making contests in my web.

I've made this:

open includes/bbcode.php
Find (for instances)

Code: [Download] [Hide]

            'fade' => array(
 
                    'nested' => true,
 
                    'inurl' => true,
 
                    'allow_empty' => false,
 
                    ),

Right after add

Code: [Download] [Hide]

            'dice' => array(
 
                    'nested'    => false,
 
                    'inurl'        => false,
 
                    'allow_empty'    => false,
 
                    ),

Find

Code: [Download] [Hide]

// --- Disable Active Content Switch BEGIN ---

Right before add

Code: [Download] [Hide]

        // BBcode dice, by Roland at ka-tet-corp.com. Based upon MOD-dice by >achary Aerogos (tribalgenesis at hotmail.com)
 
        if($tag === 'dice')
 
        {
 
            $Die = $content;
 
            $Expressions = explode('d', $content); 
 
            if( (isset($Expressions[0])) && (isset($Expressions[1])) ) 
 
            { 
 
                $dice_Rolls = $Expressions[0]; 
 
                $MT_Seed = (double)microtime()*1000000;//intval($Expressions[1]);
 
            } 
 
            $Die_Count = $Expressions[0];
 
            $Die_Type = $Expressions[1];
 
            // Make sure we restore the MT gen to a random state after we are done... 
 
            $Future_Seed = mt_rand(); 
 
            mt_srand( $MT_Seed ); 
 
            $Original_Roll_String = '(' . $content . ') <b><span style="color: #AA0000"> Fixed</span></b>'; 
 
            $Die_Rolls = explode(' ', trim($dice_Rolls)); 
 
            $header = '<b>Sort of roll</b>: ' . $Die_Count . ' dices of ' . $Die_Type . ' sides ' . $Original_Roll_String . '<br /><b>' . $Die_Type . '-Result: </b>'; 
 
            $footer = ''; 
 
            $Die_Count = intval($Die_Count); 
 
            if( $Die_Count == 0 ) $Die_Count = 1; 
 
            $total = 0; 
 
            // Loop Limit to prevent 500000d500000 sort of dices due to max. execution time limit 
 
            if($Die_Count <= 200 && $Die_Type <= 100) 
 
            { 
 
                for( $i = 0; $i < $Die_Count; $i++ ) 
 
                { 
 
                    if( $Die_Type == 100 ) 
 
                    { 
 
                        $value1 = (integer)(((double)mt_rand()/(double)mt_getrandmax()) * 10) * 10; 
 
                        $value2 = (integer)(((double)mt_rand()/(double)mt_getrandmax()) * 10); 
 
                        $total = $total + ($value1 + $value2); 
 
                        $footer = ($i != $Die_Count - 1) ? $footer . $value1 . '+' . $value2 . '(' .($value1 + $value2) . '), ' : $footer .  $value1 . '+' . $value2 . '(' . ($value1 + $value2) . ')'; 
 
                    } 
 
                    else 
 
                    { 
 
                        $value = (integer)(((double)mt_rand()/(double)mt_getrandmax()) * $Die_Type) + 1; 
 
                        $total = $total + $value; 
 
                        $footer = ($i != $Die_Count - 1) ? $footer . $value . ', ' : $footer . $value . ''; 
 
                    } 
 
                } 
 
            } // Loop limit 
 
            else 
 
            { 
 
                $total = 0; 
 
                $footer = 'Too many dices and/or too many sides'; 
 
            } 
 
                // I do b - /b on purpose...  kills out some smilies that crop up. 
 
            if( ($Die_Count > 1)) 
 
            { 
 
                $footer=  $footer . ' (<b>Total =</b> ' . $total . '<b></b>)<BR>'; 
 
            } 
 
            else 
 
            { 
 
                $footer =  $footer . '<BR>'; 
 
            } 
 
            $footer = $footer. ""; 
 
            $results = $header . $footer; 
 
            // Restore MT randomness 
 
            mt_srand($Future_Seed); 
 
            //list($usec,$sec)=explode(" ",microtime()); 
 
            mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);//$sec * $usec); 
 
            // Loop to fix randomness problem of results when multiple die rolls are made in a single post - Hades 
 
                mt_rand(); 
 
            return array(
 
                'valid'  => true,
 
                'html'  => $results
 
                );
 
        }

To use it, you write:

Code: [Download] [Hide]

[dice]xdyy[/dice]

x means number of dices to roll
yy means number of sides of each dice

i.e

Code: [Download] [Hide]

[dice]2d10[/dice]

To roll 2 dices of 10 sides.

But now comes the problem.

Because of this line:

Code: [Download] [Hide]

$MT_Seed = (double)microtime()*1000000;

Everytime the post is reloaded, the result changes.

I fixed it using precompiled posts, so the message is saved as is and the dices are not rolled every time the post is reloaded.

But I would like to know what should I do to avoid the precompiled posts.

I've tried this

Code: [Download] [Hide]

$MT_Seed = $uid;

to use a random number that won't change everytime the post is loaded, but, as $uid is null, I always get the same "Random" number. I mean, If I roll 100 times a dice like 1d10 in 100 different posts, I always get the same number... That's not too random, isn't it?

Any idea is welcome!

Thanks in advance!!

Re: Help on Dice BBCode!

That would be a solution, but I don't want to mess up with the DB... There must be another solution, as the original mod dosen't make any modification in the DB and works...

If any otherone is interested, I can send him/her the original BBCode to see if we find a solution...

Thnx, MG!!

You are still keeping busy Raphael10 with this... plus I already told you something in the Italian support.

Please do not cross post the same request and be patient.

Re: Help On Dice BBCode!

I finally fix the bug that always give the same result at rolled dices and add an increment value that can be +, -, * or /. I remakes the layout too.

Re: Help on Dice BBCode!

Thanks for that.

I've implemented a random number generator in latest RC version, but the value it is not stored in the DB... I will hopefully do it in the future...

You can test it on this site.

This will generate a random number between 1 and 100.

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

[random=100][/random]

WOW! This is a GREAT JOB!!

I just ask you a big help... Would you be so kind by packing it all in a file with some instructions so that I can try to implement the MOD in my site?

I realize I'm asking a lot but it would help me a lot!
