DCC Dice d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, d30

[Trenloe]

what does <menuicon> do and is it neccesary?

Err, menuicon defines the icon that is used on the radial menu... Say it more than once!

I believe there is only room for one or two custom dice in the radial menu?

It opens up a whole new radial menu - so 8 additional options on the Fudge dice.

Put it in and have a look - stop trying to over think it!

Thank you guys again.

For anyone else who is trying to do this - no changes are required to the npc_roll.lua - you just need to define the custom dice as suggested by Valarian and explained by Trenloe:

Add the following in base.xml or extension.xml

	<!-- MoreCore specific Funky Dice for DCC -->
	<includefile source="common/funky_dice.xml" />

Create a new file common/funky_dice.xml with the following content:

Oh, this is great! Now dF will have to stand for funky dice.

Can't wait to try this out!

Another Funky Dice question!

Can I add the funky dice to the Table Top? At the moment the CoreRPG table top has the following default dice:
d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, dF aligned beside the Modifier box.
Is it possible to add more physical dice and set the number on them?

I need the dice on the table to take advantage of the awesome Attributes/Skills in CoreRPG for DCC. Many DCC rolls use the Funky dice. They need to be dragged into the field to work and I cant see anyway to drag something in thats not actually there to start with!
Specifiying a number to be face up on the die would be one way to identify which Funk Dice we are looking at....
If you cant nominate a number, and any number, for any dice - eg still using the Fudge dice but putting a 14 on it - does anyone else have any clever ideas how one might handle this?

I have one idea - I could incorporate some code from Psicodelix's excellent CoreRPG Improved Character Sheet extension but I think having the dice on the table might be easier for players...

Short answer - no. Longer answer: maybe... with a lot of coding and messing around, but they wouldn't actually be the same as the current dice we're used to.

See the last paragraph of post #8 above.

Actually, you might be able to get it working (sort of).

Look at the Star Wars EotE ruleset. Look in classes\desktop at the dboost.xml file - this defines a windowclass "dBoost" with a diepanel for the dBoost custom dice type. This windowclass is used in definitions\desktop.xml to position a "panel" using the <class> dBoost (defined in dboost.xml). The dBoost custom die type is defined in definitions\dice.xml - but this is similar to the custom dice defined earlier in this thread. You may need to add a specific icon definition with the same name as the custom die in order to display something on the dekstop in the panel (e.g. <icon name="d30" file="graphics/icons/d30.png" /> )

These custom dice are available via right-click on the Fudge dice - via the Custom Dice selection in the NW of the radial menu, so they can be dragged to abilities/skills in the character sheet.

Thank you! To drag these dice onto the Char Sheet you need to do:

Right click dFudge
At 11 oclock Left Click Custom Dice
Left Click your required Dice
Move to the target and Left Click again to drop the dice

I must have been trying Right Click options and didnt think this was possible

I am downloading SW now to look at this.

Hi Trenloe - I think your code is quite a bit more complex again - there are other files included too.
I can add them to HotKeys and then they are draggable - this is not the best solution but Im running with it just for now.



and I swapped the customdice icon

Did you ever release this as an extension or has it been taken forwards for DCC? This has been recently asked about here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...regarding-dice
