nodebb chat roll dice game

hi @phenomlab

for respond at your question here :

Modify nodebb-plugin-ws-dice

Hi all I have see this plugin: nodebb-plugin-ws-dice nodebb-plugin-ws-dice/static/lib/main.js at main · Wieloswiat/nodebb-plugin-ws-dice ...(more)

NodeBB Community

When I talk about chat, I’m talking about nodebb’s internal messaging or even better in the globalchat plugin.

Actually I use global chat so all my users all chat together in nodebb

I would like the /roll with result to work in it

[phenomlab]

@DownPW ok. I’ll install the global chat plugin in DEV and write some code around that. What sort of timeline are we looking at ?

Plus, can you let me know if you just want a “roll dice” button at the top of the chat for everyone to use ? What should happen with the result ?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

no schedule/timeline !!
I’m not in a hurry

the purpose would be exactly the same as the quoted plugin

The user writes the command to throw the dice with the numbers he wants as he sees fit, not necessarily needing a button or else all the game possibilities should be stipulated in it:

/roll 1d4
/roll 4d6
/roll 30d2
etc ....

And the result is given back to him in the chat too like this for example:

/rollBot: User to roll 4d6. Result is 4, 3, 6, 1

@DownPW thanks. I guess I’ll need to see how the existing plugin works first then replicate that.

@phenomlab

maybe another plugin for help you: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-dice

The interrest : He have an admin panel with creation of a bot for responce…

And maybe using filter:messaging.save and Messaging.addSystemMessage instead of topic events

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Thanks. Will review

[DownPW]

No problem @phenomlab

I have open an issue on the first plugin official github and that works now on chat/global chat and topic !

He use action:messaging.save if i’m not mistaken

But if you want to check in on JS, why not ?
It’s maybe better than a plugin

[phenomlab]

@DownPW sounds like the plugin author is responsive and open to requests etc. I think taking this route is going to be quicker, but happy to review of you think otherwise.

[DownPW]

Nope no problem mark @phenomlab

I have another request that should take less time for you.

I open it in another thread.

hi @phenomlab

Have you got an idea for improve that bug ? :

Hello @oplik0

It’s appear when the result of a roll appear on 2 lines in the timeline (Example: lot of dice roll)

Example here with no bugs on 1 line :

thanks for your futur replies

[phenomlab]

@DownPW is there a url where I can see this ?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

You can test on my VM test as usual

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

I have test some CSS code but it’s difficult for me.

I just manage to remove the span time but it also removes it for other system events appearing on the timeline.

span.timeago.timeline-text {
    display: none;
}

I can’t figure out why the username and timestamp display correctly on one line and not on 2. It’s almost the same thing finally

[phenomlab]

@DownPW This isn’t going to be a simple fix you can resolve with CSS. The issue here is how the plugin injects new code into an existing HTML structure, but doesn’t provide any means of identifying elements by ID rather than using a shared class name. Based on this, “best effort” is all that can be offered without directly changing any code.

For example

.dice-event-text {
    display: inline-block;
    align-items: center;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    max-width: 800px;
    width: 800px;
}

This yields

Not perfect of course, but certainly better than what you have.

[DownPW]

indeed it is better but it also modifies the result on 1 line…

As you say, we can’t do much until the plugin is modified

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Yes, it’s not very elegant sadly, and there is an impact to other elements. You could write a jQuery function that only modifies the CSS when there are more than x of the same element in that div…

[DownPW]

Why not @phenomlab but like you know, i’m not a good JS develloper lol
I have not the skills for that

[DownPW]

@phenomlab do you think it is difficult to do?

No, but judging by this

It might be best to wait - or if you can’t, you could easily patch that file, or overwrite it (public/src/modules/helpers.common.js)
