[nodebb-plugin-dice-and-numbers] Roll dice and generate random numbers

[am1cable]

at npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-dice-and-numbers

Built to work in the default composer. Not much css attached, but it should be pretty easy to make it look however you like.

Adds a button that opens a panel where you can select if you'd like to roll XdX dice or generate X random numbers within a range of X to X.
Results are visible in posts like this:

Results are also not editable in posts after they are rolled.

Still kinda wip but no guarantee I'll work on it further, since it does what I want for my own forum.

known weirdness:
if you have a thread where the last post has a dice roll in it, and that post hasn't been edited for a few months, the value can disappear. re-editing the post makes the value appear again.

Hey @am1cable! Very cool plugin. I started using it on my forum and it started generating errors. Not sure if you are still putting work into this thing, but thought you should know!

Here's the output:

@Michael-Pfaff I haven't been working on it recently, but I have plans to go through and finish it sometime this year. Will have a look at this while I'm at it!

Hey man, I just went ahead and purchased a plugin made by the NodeBB team. We made it open source if you wanna use that.

It's here for anyone interested: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-dice
