Dice Room Tavern Mini UI Help

Love the site as my tabletop baseball league uses it.

We've noticed in the last few weeks we are seeing the timeout III while waiting for a result more often then we have in the past. We use to see it maybe three times in a hour and now it seems to be happening every ten rolls or so. I wasn't sure if there was performance issue or change. | reply

in response to this "rolls 6D10L4 = 24 (low 4 of 9; 8; 8; 5; 8; 3 = 24)" roll, i believe its saying "lowest 4 of the following," it just so happens 9 is right next to 'of' so if you read it in a certain way...

(low 4 of 9; 8; 8; 5; 8; 3 = 24)

and some fixing of grammar.

(lowest 4 of, 9; 8; 8; 5; 8; 3 = 24)

it becomes much easier to read, it'll do that for all high/low rolls, as for your other inquiries i dunno | reply

Someone keeps coming into the room,

Ive changed the password twice on my room, yet someone keeps coming in to harass and annoy, now i dont know if its the person im playing with trolling me, but still thats a bit disturbing | reply

sometims when you do a comand it dont do nothing and pop ups in the chat, if you do this with a /nick and it fail everbody will be able to see you password

Hey there,
I am the editor of a new newsletter/newspaper pointed towards dungeoneering and tabletop gaming, I would like to get an interview with you, Udo. I am doing a review for my first article on your webpage here. If you could please email me so I can speak with you, that would be excellent. thanks,

Hello,

I and my friend roleplay a lot on mobile, and it is incredibly inconvenient to write a pose only to lose it because you were timed out. (This happens at least when the phone screen goes dark.) This doesn't happen on desktop, obviously, so: Is there any way for us to prevent this from happening, and if not, might you fix it? | reply

My dice rooms are missing. They've been replaced with a :-] symbol that leads to blank pages. I use Rolz for my PbP's, and so I've got links in other forums that take me back to the rooms. But, once I'm there I still can't edit. | reply

site lacks means to reset password (forgotten mine and can't sign in) | reply

I'm having weird results in the dice roller.

This example:
Lowest 4 of 6D10: #6D10L4

Renders this result:
rolls 6D10L4 = 24 (low 4 of 9; 8; 8; 5; 8; 3 = 24)

Notice that there is no reason there should be 5 rolls shown nor any reason for it to say Lowest 4 of 9. It should be the lowest 4 of 6 rolls...

Similarly...
2d20+5 renders this way:
rolls 2d20H+5 = 23 (high 1 of 18; 9 = 18 + 5)

And 5+2d20H1 renders this way:
rolls 5+2d20H1 = 17 (5 + high 1 of 12; 11 = 12)

I'm totally confused. Has this thing lost the ability to pick H and L rolls or at least how to interpret them? Is there some syntax I'm confusing? I've tried # and - as the command and I have tried different leading spaces and nothing has changed. | reply

Any chance you (or me?) could add these Tables-to-roll-on?

how can i create a NPC on this site? i know i have that option but i dont know how can i do it | reply

I made an account recently and have forgotten my password since then. Theres no way to confirm accounts on this website so Im sort of left without many options to get my name back since it locks the name. Is there anything you can do to help me out? | reply

i feel a little uncomfortable after making an account, there wasn't any way of having confirmation like an email or something. | reply

My group hates the password feature of nicknames.

Half the names we were using have been locked down.

None of us pass worded the names, but we need passwords to use them.

This feature sucks | reply

I've been getting this screen when going back to the dice room: http://i.imgur.com/bb8OX28.png

As far as I can tell, these rooms stall out rolz on my end and do absolutely nothing. I can still reach my normal dice rooms if I manually type the url in the search bar, but it's still kind of annoying and hopefully you can do something about this before it becomes a problem for other users. | reply

It would be nice to be able to clear history out of a room as the owner.
I was using the room for character creation rolls, but would like to keep them secret between people untill the first session. Because they also talk about class/race/specialisation. | reply

Hey, I was screwing around with the dice roller on the homepage and found this...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /srv/www/htdocs/rolz.org/lib/diceparser.class.php(970) : eval()'d code on line 1

Happens when doing anything like 1==1. | reply

Can enter or create no dice room. Bad gateway - no response from host rolz.org | reply

Why cant people in my room see my dice throws? I tried with #d and [d] but with both commands only I can see the results. | reply

The shortcuts I create do not save when I leave a dice room and join another room. Can you fix this please? | reply

Is there a power-user command to do the following:

For Successes with additive re-roll... The problem is that say with a 6 Sided Die with additive re-rolls will make some target numbers identical i.e. TN 6 and 7. If you roll a six you are guaranteed to get at least a 7 on the re-roll. Is there a power-user command to subtract 1 from the result before the re-roll? So if I roll a 6, the system should calculate the re-roll as 5+1d6.. This way I could end up with a 6 final result if I roll a 1. In this way a target number of 7 is no longer guaranteed. If it adds twice (rolls 6 then rolls 6 again) it should calculate the third re-roll as 11 + 1d6 and so on. | reply

When using the roller with the command below it seems to ignore the dice type and roll d10s instead:

1d6:6+4S8

I'm playing Traveller and need to roll 2d6, add them together and then add a modifier and compare the total to a difficulty number (usually 8) to determine success. It would be especially good if the command could give the "effect" of the roll as well (total rolled including modifiers minus 8)

i.e.

Engineering (jump drives) 1
Education 1

A roll to fix the jump drive would be 2d6+2 with a target number of 8.

A character that rolls 4 and 3 therefore has a total of 9 which is a success with a +1 effect.

Is this possible? | reply

After first page inserted into wiki it stops showing edit and new page buttons | reply

It seems that rooms may be logging people changing their usernames when they use a password - you might want to check on that. | reply

Thanks Udo! | reply

Hi Udo,

The rooms have become unstable, disconnecting users every few seconds. Please take a look at it when you have a chance! | reply

Hiya there Udo.

Been trying to use the rooms tonight and all of a sudden they have started glitching, throwing everyone out and making it impossible to get back in. has the site crashed? | reply

Room glitching out. Keeps loggin players out then back in constantly. | reply

Hello!

First I'd really like to say that this site is our group's go-to for dice rolling. It's simple, quick and easy, and keeps everyone accountable. You've done an amazing job with it and I hope that it continues to grow~

Second, I was curious (as I hadn't found an answer yet) if there was a way to delete rooms you don't use. I have three made but we only use one and it's bugging me ^u^;; If not, will there be in the future?


Thank you so much,

Hi there,

I'm having a bit of a bother with whitelist. I used one to test it out and see how it worked, and it seemed to be working okay, but then I tried to turn it off since some of the people using the room couldn't get on. I figured it'd be an easy "/room whitelist=" and it showed up a line saying whitelist is off, but now the people just keep getting tossed to the lobby. I tried whitelisting (and turning it back on, of course) them using their registered nicks, but that just kept giving them an "You're not on the whitelist" result.

Seems there might be a bug of some sort? | reply

Group plays in several separate rooms. One particular room has stopped recording the posts/rolls of all my accounts, but the other rooms work fine. | reply

for some reason I can't sign in with my account | reply

how do i make my nickname "DM" | reply

I created an account, then got logged out. Upon attempting to re-login, my password does not work. Is there any way I could get the account deleted (it was created approximately 10 minutes ago) so I can recreate it? | reply

I understand that you needed to discontinue the legacy rooms, but is there anything when rolling dice in the new room that the base 1d20 or whatever you last typed will stay? It's really annoying when in the middle of combat and have to keep adding a hashtag and type it all out. My players keep messing up and as a GM when you are dealing with lots of monsters it's really annoying to not be able to just backspace and add something new. Maybe you can add settings? My default then could be selected on the rolling mode or something so it was like it was in legacy. | reply

I absolutely love this site, its EXACTLY what ive been looking for for so long! I also love the medieval touch, adds more... feel.. anyway would really love if you could somehow make all this accessible through a mobile device for obvious reasons or maybe even a watered down version... i know so many people that would jump at it if and when that happens | reply

Hey, Udo, just curious - when exactly are the rooms going down, in say UTC time? | reply

So the rooms are gone? They aren't connecting at all. | reply

Okay you said that the reason the rooms are gone is because of server crash, well i re-added my rooms and they have gone again for a second time.

Plus like Jazmine says I have some-one's notes which is very strange. | reply

I forgot my password for my account. How i can recovery it? | reply

Hello! My group and I have been using this site for years. Thanks for hosting the legacy rooms as long as you have. I am trying to move things over to the current dice roll rooms, but I am having some difficulties. We use a d10 pool system and I would like to see the individual numbers rolled, but the 'auto expand results button' does not appear to be working. Toggling it does not result in any change to the displayed dice, before or after the button is used. Not sure if it is a bug or if I am missing something. | reply

Hey, Udo. I used your legacy rooms a lot, for a long time. Firstly I would like to thank you for maintaining them for so long. You have been very good to a lot of the older users, especially my old group, and I would like you to understand just how appreciated that is.

That being said, I have to ask you to clarify something: when the legacy rooms go down, will the logs of said rooms still be accessible? Or will those also be going down?

Cheers | reply

Hey, I noticed the Legacy rooms are being shut down. Will the logs still be available? | reply

What the hey. I just logged on under my user name and password and some random stuff has ended up in library. Furthermore, my notes for my room have gone missing. Help please. | reply

Hello! I started 2 Dice Rooms and they have both disappeared. | reply

As the creator/owner of a Dice room, I wish I had more admin functionality. Specifically, I want exclusive controls over things like ignore, kick/ban, and other tools to keep the rest of my players in line. Sometimes, they really act like children.

Basically, with the Room that I was playing in, everybody had full access to all the powers, from generating NPCs to muting people. Somehow, *I* the GM got muted! | reply

How i can delete my account | reply

So I seem to have an issue with Chrome/Canary that doesn't allow me to connect to rooms at all.

an endless loop of "connecting" is instead displayed. it works just fine on IE and Edge, but Chrome and Canary seem to have this issue for me. | reply

Any chance you'd add the Star Wars RPG dice? | reply

Hi, how do I add a password to my room so that only people who know the password can enter it?

I can see an option for this when entering a room with my username, but I don't know how to change my room's settings so that a password is required. | reply

It seems the online rooms are down, what's going on? | reply

Rooms currently online: 0 / active: 0
Users currently online: 0 / active: 0
Server status: Down

So sad. | reply

I have some issues with entring the room. It writes the "сonnecting..." messages only without any actual notes like rolls and text messages. | reply

So I want to change my room so that you don't need an account to log into it, but it says I'm not the owner of the room. Not sure how to fix it as I didn't have an account when I set up the room.
The room's name is Lizard'sRoom | reply

I forgot my password for my account. The name is Kami can you delete it? | reply

Hi Rolz

I believe what you built here is special. A place for Dnd players to come and enjoy each others company. The private room function is great and the dice rolling skill are fantastic.

A few things I have noticed which will make the site a lot better.

1) Is there a way to privately chat with a player via the site if they are in the game room with us - Player to player, GM to player or player to GM.

2) Joining a room can be really difficult. Perhaps there needs to be inbox type system where an admin can invite a player to a room and the player can join via clicking a link in a message?

3) Linking with other players to start a game is difficult. Along with a general lobby, perhaps considering instead of having a forum for game searches, have an extra lobby with for players looking to join a game.

4) Private messaging in a lobby. I am not sure if your able to use this function yet, however the ability to private message others is a must.

I know your probably wondering who this guy is. Choose to take on my advice, or don't, I just know the potential this site has. When you look at OCTGN (card game platform) and Virtual playtable (another card game platform) these are quite user friendly. I know this can be great so please keep going in developing the site. | reply

So, the forum image isn't working for me, example: https://rolz.org/info?X17598164 | reply

So, for the past couple of weeks, my group has been using your dice room to play a pseudo d20-lite system, the games tend to start around 7, or 8 on Saturdays and Sundays, and every time your website constantly goes down, is that your day for maintenance, or do the rooms crap out at any group larger than four? | reply

Everything broke | reply

Thanks a lot for this site! It's very useful.
---------------
But a lot more shortcuts will be much better. Say separate tab with 20 (or even more) lines like 4 lines in "Recent Chat Lines" (or even 2 columns of twice shorter lines) will be very nice.
---------------
Easy way to copy line in clipboard will be also nice. Say button near link on embed image.
---------------
Also 2 additional commands can be useful:
repeatN (or rN) - repeat previous roll N times (only roll, not conditions)
skipN (or sN) - skip next N groups of text [roll]

example:
axe attack [d20+10 1-17=skip3] crit check [repeat] damage [d12+10] or crit [r3; skip] damage [d12+10]
"repeat" here mean "d20+10"; "r3" will be "repeat 3 d12+10"

on 1-17 text in chat will be like:
axe attack [d20+10 1-17=skip3 = 22] damage [d12+10 = 13]
on 18-20:
axe attack [d20+10 1-17=skip3 = 29] crit check [repeat = 21] damage [d12+10 = 11] or crit [r3; skip = 38]
---------------
And last one option to hide text of command will be also good for long conditions:
"hide" (or h) - hide all text of command after it

example:
axe attack [d20 h 1-10=cancel 18-20=x2] damage [h d12+10]

will looks like:
axe attack [d20 = 2] damage [= 0]
axe attack [d20 = 11] damage [= 17]
axe attack [d20 = 19] damage [= 32] | reply

I enjoyed your free service. I will probably use it more often and leave a donation. Great Website!
Thanks a bunch! | reply

You should add a way to delete old dice rooms. | reply

I wonder if it's possible to add variables into the dice rolling?

For instance, with Call of Cthulhu you would have a skill value which you must roll below to succeed and roll 20% or less of in order to impale (or crit).

i.e. something like [d100 skill=78 (skill/5)=x2 (>skill)=cancel] damage [d10+2] | reply

I have the same question as spreader. Is it possible to remove chat room log?
I created dice room which room name is very important to me. I tested dice rolls and now a chat is quite messy. I was wondering is it any chance to remove old logs? Because the name of the room must be the same as is now.

Thank you in advance for your reply,
Dante | reply

Hi,

Is it possible to remove dice rooms from my list? | reply

I have a feature request that seems like it would be fairly simple to implement. I don't know if you are familiar with MUCK/MUX/MUSH gaming (online, text-based roleplaying servers that have been around since the Early Pliestocene era of the Internet), but on such games, there is an [email protected] <text>' command which emits <text> visible to everyone in the room, but without prepending the player's name. It is very useful for such things as GM scene-set poses and NPC poses, as well as player poses that don't start with either their character's name or 'CharacterName says,'...

For obvious reasons, on this site it would be undesirable for similar poses to be actually anonymous, but perhaps there could be a command which would emit text to the room with either the person emitting's name in brackets at the end, or, better yet, with an unobtrusive mark at the end that would reveal the emitter's name when one's mouse is hovered over it? | reply

How does one delete a chat room one has created?
Is it possible to clear the chat archive from a room? | reply

Hello!

I'm fairly new to this website, and trying to set up a room in order to host a little online RPG event this next weekend for some people. For that it's very important that each player can roll privately, and only have to disclose it when asked for it.

I tried using the /self code in order to roll privately, but it seems despite using #1d6 ;1d6, or just 1d6 all the outcomes were 0. Maybe someone can explain to me how this is supposed to work? | reply

Hi,
Great website and service as well, really useful, making all my games so fun. =)

So here's my question, is there a way to count rolls that are equal or lower than a value,
as with the basic success based-roll "E" (i.e 1d100E50 which count how many roll will be equal or greater than 50)
but in the other way, that would count how many are actually equal or lower than the chosen value ?

Thanks for everything. =) | reply

Hi,

I create a room recently, and I'm no longer listed as the owner/creator of the room. Is there any way to take this back or to set me as the owner? | reply

I pressed the "recent chat lines" button that read "/nick <username> <password>" in attempt to log in to my username. Instead it posed my username and password in the forum :/ | reply

The send function on the mobile version doesn't seem to be working. I have tried to refresh it multiple times. Any suggestions? | reply

Does anyone know if you can delete dice rooms once created? My room list is full of rooms I created by accident when mistyping room names. | reply

Could someone please delete my account? I can't figure out any way to do it myself. | reply

Probably not so much a bug as a feature that has been taken too far, a username I have been using for a long time (Michelle, the name of my character for the campaign we are playing) is now passworded.
Perhaps instead of passwording a name across all servers, have the passwords be room specific. | reply
