Subject: 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]
  1. 'fade' => array(  
  2. 'nested' => true,  
  3. 'inurl' => true,  
  4. 'allow_empty' => false,  
  5. ), 


Right after add
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. 'dice' => array(  
  2. 'nested' => false,  
  3. 'inurl' => false,  
  4. 'allow_empty' => false,  
  5. ), 


Find
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. // --- Disable Active Content Switch BEGIN --- 


Right before add
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. // BBcode dice, by Roland at ka-tet-corp.com. Based upon MOD-dice by >achary Aerogos (tribalgenesis at hotmail.com)  
  2. if($tag === 'dice')  
  3. {  
  4. $Die = $content;  
  5. $Expressions = explode('d', $content);  
  6. if( (isset($Expressions[0])) && (isset($Expressions[1])) )  
  7. {  
  8. $dice_Rolls = $Expressions[0];  
  9. $MT_Seed = (double)microtime()*1000000;//intval($Expressions[1]);  
  10. }  
  11. $Die_Count = $Expressions[0];  
  12. $Die_Type = $Expressions[1];  
  13. // Make sure we restore the MT gen to a random state after we are done...  
  14. $Future_Seed = mt_rand();  
  15. mt_srand( $MT_Seed );  
  16.  
  17. $Original_Roll_String = '(' . $content . ') <b><span style="color: #AA0000"> Fixed</span></b>';  
  18. $Die_Rolls = explode(' ', trim($dice_Rolls));  
  19. $header = '<b>Sort of roll</b>: ' . $Die_Count . ' dices of ' . $Die_Type . ' sides ' . $Original_Roll_String . '<br /><b>' . $Die_Type . '-Result: </b>';  
  20. $footer = '';  
  21. $Die_Count = intval($Die_Count);  
  22. if( $Die_Count == 0 ) $Die_Count = 1;  
  23. $total = 0;  
  24.  
  25. // Loop Limit to prevent 500000d500000 sort of dices due to max. execution time limit  
  26. if($Die_Count <= 200 && $Die_Type <= 100)  
  27. {  
  28. for( $i = 0; $i < $Die_Count; $i++ )  
  29. {  
  30. if( $Die_Type == 100 )  
  31. {  
  32. $value1 = (integer)(((double)mt_rand()/(double)mt_getrandmax()) * 10) * 10;  
  33. $value2 = (integer)(((double)mt_rand()/(double)mt_getrandmax()) * 10);  
  34. $total = $total + ($value1 + $value2);  
  35. $footer = ($i != $Die_Count - 1) ? $footer . $value1 . '+' . $value2 . '(' .($value1 + $value2) . '), ' : $footer . $value1 . '+' . $value2 . '(' . ($value1 + $value2) . ')';  
  36. }  
  37. else  
  38. {  
  39. $value = (integer)(((double)mt_rand()/(double)mt_getrandmax()) * $Die_Type) + 1;  
  40. $total = $total + $value;  
  41. $footer = ($i != $Die_Count - 1) ? $footer . $value . ', ' : $footer . $value . '';  
  42. }  
  43. }  
  44. } // Loop limit  
  45. else  
  46. {  
  47. $total = 0;  
  48. $footer = 'Too many dices and/or too many sides';  
  49. }  
  50. // I do b - /b on purpose... kills out some smilies that crop up.  
  51. if( ($Die_Count > 1))  
  52. {  
  53. $footer= $footer . ' (<b>Total =</b> ' . $total . '<b></b>)<BR>';  
  54. }  
  55. else  
  56. {  
  57. $footer = $footer . '<BR>';  
  58. }  
  59. $footer = $footer. "";  
  60. $results = $header . $footer;  
  61.  
  62. // Restore MT randomness  
  63. mt_srand($Future_Seed);  
  64.  
  65. //list($usec,$sec)=explode(" ",microtime());  
  66. mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);//$sec * $usec);  
  67.  
  68. // Loop to fix randomness problem of results when multiple die rolls are made in a single post - Hades  
  69. mt_rand();  
  70.  
  71. return array(  
  72. 'valid' => true,  
  73. 'html' => $results  
  74. );  
  75. } 


To use it, you write:
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. [dice]xdyy[/dice] 


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

i.e
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. [dice]2d10[/dice] 

To roll 2 dices of 10 sides.

But now comes the problem.

Because of this line:
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. $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]
  1. $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!!

I think that the only way to do it is inserting the number in the DB when the post is submitted.

But then you have to modify the posting function... :roll:

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!!

Looks like there's a very similar post right here.....
h**p://***.icyphoenix.it/viewtopic.php?p=6422#p6422

Does anyone care for it?
Excluding me, of course, since I'm not a programmer.....

Ah, almost forgot: I'm zio_gilmor :wink:

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.

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.

Dice Rolled
You rolled 2 dices of 6 sides (2d6+3)
Partial Result: 6 + 4 + 3
Total: 13

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!! :thanks:

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!
