Dice Bot for TripleA Forum

VictoryFirst

Hi, is it possible to have the dice bot that is used on axisandallies.org/forums also work on this forum? I am playing a bunch of games with some friends here and it would be really nice to have that feature here too

I noticed this here:
https://github.com/djensen47/nodebb-plugin-dice-bot

So that means a moderator on this site needs to do this? Or a developer?

Someone with server-access (where the website/forum is hosted) and the "how-to"-knowledge needs to do this. I vaguely remember that @RoiEX did at least update NodeBB to its (here) current version (the way outdated 1.16.2) years ago. Maybe @prastle or @LaFayette can do that, too.

It is explained here how to install a plug-in
https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/plugins/
And there is much more information on the NodeBB website.

But that doesn't solve the server-access problem... so hopefully someone who hosts the server can hop in here and help us out

Still think it'd be nice to have the triplea dice roller show up in History. Wouldn't need a dicebot then. would play faster as well.

Whichever is easiest. Would be nice to have one.

That would be nice but I would still rather go for dice bot. I don't like the TripleA dice roller as you can only roll one set of dice at a time. With the forum dice bot you can roll entire battles at once.

yea, what I started doing is rolling for all the units and give the first ones to INF, then Arty, Tanks etc

so 3 Inf 1 Arty and 2 tanks is 6 dice first 3 are the Inf, 4th is Arty and the last two the tanks
