Heads up, gentlemen: I have a take-home exam (essentially a 4000-word essay that I only have a week to write) to do by next Monday.  I'll keep up with developments, but you probably won't hear a lot from me until then. 

Doug, feel free to NPC Arbogast as necessary, unless someone else wants to step up and run him as a change of pace.

Have fun!

I would invite you to eat a dick, sir, but I have not the time.

Okay, coming up for air again!  I'll have a proper post up later today.

Paul,
 Do you want to work through those skirmish rules and see what we can do for ToR?

[Eclecticon]

Sure, thanks for the reminder!

Game post tomorrow, guys.

Been a bit busy at this end with real life stuff.

[Eclecticon]

No worries - I'm sure we're all much the same.  I'm following updates eagerly, but it doesn't quite seem like the time to grab the talking stick just yet.  Let's see what Hathcyn finds.

Okay guys, the website software was updated last night at 1AM and I am still working on getting it modded to the way I had it before the upgrade.

That said, the PhP coding has changed with this new version (as you can see in the buttons when you post) and I am still figuring it out.

All the main menu buttons work, they are just ugly at the moment until I figure out how to remove the 'question mark' icons.

We no longer have the dice buttons in the posting menu, but we do have the functionality. So - we can no longer hit the button and get the BBC code template that we then just fill in our dice numbers, BUT the code still works.

So, if you want to do an in-post dice roll, you just need to type it all out now. I give an example below:

Code Select Expand

[ro11]{:00:}1d12,2d6[/ro11]
If you want to have the details like I used to have for our TOR die roll button, it would be:

Code Select Expand

[size=2][b]TN --[/b] [i]skill --[/i][/size]
[ro11]{:00:}[/ro11]
:dmg:    edge:    injury:
**In both codes above, the l's in the word roll are 1's, so be sure to change them if you cut and paste.

I am still working on getting the buttons back, but it should all work now! I will keep you apprised, or you will see the changes.

[Eclecticon]

Cheers.  We all appreciate the work you put in.

Seeing as I have yet to get any insight from the SMF modders on the Simple Machines forums on how to add new buttons within the POST screen for our dice roller code, I have made a quick solution.

Under RESOURCES in the main menu is a new option to click called DICE FORMATS. If you click this, it will open a new window text file that contains the simple BBC code necessary to do a quick fill dice format.

Because the main menu is always visible (unless you are using Quick Reply - then you will have to scroll up), it will be easily available while you are making a post. So what you will do is click the link which opens the new window; select the roller format you want and copy/paste into your post. You will fill in the dice information from there, but it will function upon clicking post.

Okay everyone - it looks like I finally have all of my tasks figured out and the buttons have been returned.

The only thing I am still working on is getting the Profiler back in place!! Here is hoping that can be resolved.

[Eclecticon]

Apologies for the radio silence lately.  Both work and uni are crazy busy.  But I'll get a post up tomorrow if humanly possible.

I'm pretty sure we lost Paladin003.
