Have in Game Dice Roller Show in History
-
Not sure where to do requests anymore. I don't think we do them at git anymore, so this must be the place
Was just reading about the new dice roller here
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4315/marti-is-migrating-in-triplea-v2.7/10
@lafayette as this is being updated, how much more work to have it record the results in History ?
Would be a nice feature to have.
Edit
To clarify, not the marti forum dice but the one listed under "Game" top left -
Good clarification. Sadly it would be kinda substantial effort.
The current roller is odd, it's local only. I think a first feature for it would be to at least to show to all players the result of the dice roll. A second feature would be to integrate that into the history. Since the host owns the GameData object and in turn essentially owns the history, the network part is important.
There is an attempt to overhaul the network communication of the game. After that, it would be less effort. There is another effort on the roadmap to change how the game history and game data are represented (rather than as a static state, it would instead be more of a 'ledger' system where changes are recorded as a stack). With all of that, the update would be a lot cleaner.

Right on. Thanks for the reply. Obviously there are more important things to do
We use it quite a bit in the "UHD Boxes" mod. We trust each other and just post screenshots of the results so one can see what was rolled. So it works fine as is.
Just a thought

@beelee i must be missing something here which rolls are not shown in the history?

Hi Panther
Yea I'm referring to the in game Dice Roller for when you need to handroll to be rule compliant. Similar to using dicebot at the other site.

@beelee Ah, I see. That would be very cool, indeed, as it would make players independent from any forum dicey. As far as I remember in PBF that specific roll is done by MARTI, too, isn't it? And in local games by the local dicey. Something to test ....
I was a bit confused before, as my above screenshots show rolls that were all done by the ingame dice roller and documented in the game history.
I concur, that would be a very welcome feature, indeed!

Oh Idk about PBF using Marti for it. I never look at the Marti email rolls myself
But yea, that would be good to know. It would provide a record then, even if not as easy access
-
@beelee I have just tested it and I was correct: In PBF/PBEM this specific roll is executed by MARTI indeed. So that would really make a lot of sense.

oh way cool ! I would have never thought to even check it
