Hello,
My Name is TomJim. My group and I are still playing 3.something
I've written in Visual Basic, a dice application, that will roll not only checks but combat rolls as well.
Ive tried to make it as intuative as possible.
Revision / Changelog notes will be in post 2
I am looking for feedback , UI or Mathmatical issues.
I've noticed a lot of people have looked....feedback? please?
---------------------------------------INSTRUCTIONS------------------------------------------
YOU MUST UNINSTALL THE OLD VERSION BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE!!!
I will use the image below as a refrence
Top Left menu "Dice" is for single type dice rolls. The number of dice rolled is controlled by the number box below
labled 'How Many' . You can easily roll 1 or 100 d20's and get a total result at the top of the window in the total box
(white box inbetween 'Dice' and 'Option'
Options, currently only contain a single feature, which is 'OnTop'
Turning this feature on will make the dice bag remain as the Top Most application on your desktop
meaning, it wont go behind any other window, so you can always see it.
Combat roller -
The Combat roller works in a series of steps based on the entered attack then threat range, multiplier and ac to hit.
Attack - --/--/--/--/--/--
Your attacks, in thier total for go here . For instance , a fighter at level 1 with a strength of 18 (+4) would put in
05/--/--/--/--
This will roll a single attack, with a d20 + 5 the result will be comparted to the 'AC to Hit'
Threat, Multiplier and AC to Hit
Threat range is the threat on the weapon if your threat is 20 then type in 20, if your threat is 15 to 20 put in 15. This field will default to 20 if no value is entered
Multiplier - is the critical multiplier of the weapon, a short sword is times 2, where a great axe is times 3. This field will default to 2 if no number is entered
AC to Hit - This is the AC of the creature, person, object that you are attacking, for this program to work you will need that information from your DM.
Damage rolls - There are three lines of damage rolls.
STANDARD DAMAGE (line 1) - this is damage that comes right from the weapon or character/monster. This damage will be multiplied on a critical hit. #d##+## = should be typed in 1d08+02 .... Even if there is no modifier on the roll (meaning 02 is 00) you must type in 00 leaving the ## there will cause an error (this is being worked on)
Non -Standard Damage(line 2) - This is Enchantment damage, sneak damage or any other damage that is not multiplied on a critical hit
#d##+## = should be typed in 1d08+02 .... Even if there is no modifier on the roll (meaning 02 is 00) you must type in 00 leaving the ## there will cause an error (this is being worked on)
Burst like damages(line 3) - This is damage that only happens on a critical hit, this damage is not multiplied. EX: Bow with Flaming Burst - on crit does 3d10+00. Even if there is no modifier on the roll (meaning 02 is 00) you must type in 00 leaving the ## there will cause an error (this is being worked on)
Please provide me with feedback, issues and errors. Thank you
