Due to the problems we've had with the java chatroom and the fact that we couldn't have a dice roller in there, I've decided to go with a Flash based chat room hosted on our servers. The link in the menu bar has been updated to reflect the changes.

Diceroller

There is a diceroller in the chatroom, just type

/d 2d20 + 3

To have the chatroom roll 2D20 and add 3. I thought this might enable more chatroom based games for us all.

Ahh, the joys of Java... :santa: Dare I ask, what was wrong with it?

So far so good with the Flash based one. :)

Wow, interesting new look. Now I just need someone else to go in there so I can talk to them and see how it works :santa:

[CrustyGeek]

We will be changing the look of it - hopefully with your help. Stay tuned!

I was just there, but alas, we missed each other. :santa:

[Early Bird]

Aww nuts! Still, I'll be on later this evening (late afternoon for you) so I'll look out for you then :santa:

Hn... It's a bit slow, and unforgiving for modems, otherwise the new chatroom is awesome. Kept rolling the wrong dice when I tried rolling 3d6, though, but that's probably just me.

[CrustyGeek]

You can turn off the images in the options once in the chat - that might help.

I'll have a look at the diceroller. The advantage of this one is I can actually look under the hood and see what's going on and fix any problems.

[Arothas]

Ah, I meant rather to subtly imply that my fingers slipped a bit and I pressed 3d5 and such, there's no need to actually check it :) Otherwise I'd have said that it was rolling like 3d6 when I pressed 2d10, so no "real" problems with the roller.

Ah - got you :havefun:

[DalacMan]

so... the dice roller doesnt work at all. Me and Lord Stark have been trying to roll and it doesnt let us.

[Mourdos]

It does for non GMs. Most amusing.

The filter is family-unfriendly, lol. I wrote succumbed and it was filtered into suc cum*

... Seriously. suc cum*

:LOL:

Is there a place where all the codes are listed???

I haven't tested all of these to see which of them are "active," but here's the list from looooong ago when we used Flash Chat.

/away Sets user as away. Typing this command again sets user as "here".
/here Sets user as here. This reverses the "away" and "busy" states.
/busy Sets user as busy. Typing this command again sets user as "here".
/back ## Shows the last ## entries of the room's chat, including any chat text that was present before arrival to the room.
/backtime ## Shows the last ## minutes of the room's chat, including any chat text that was present before arrival to the room.
/clear Clears the chat screen. This only affects your screen, not the screen of other users.
/me <action> Issues an IRC-like "action" to the chat. "/me" will be changed to your user name, and the text in <action> will appear as a system message. For example: "/me is thinking" would translate to "Joe is thinking".
/join <room> Switches the user to <room>. For example: "/join The Lounge"
/part Logout of the chat.
/quit Logout of the chat.
/logout Logout of the chat.
/version Shows which version of the chat you are using.
/invite <user> Invites "user" to the room that you are currently in.
/ignore <user> Ignore "user".
/broadcast <msg> Only available to moderators. This broadcasts a message to all users in all rooms. For example, "/broadcast Hello everyone!"
/kick <user> Only available to moderators. This kicks "user" from the room.
/boot <user> Same as /kick.
/ban <user> Only available to moderators. Bans "user" from the chat.
/banip <user> Only available to moderators. Bans the IP address of the user from all chat activity.
/gagX <user> Only available to moderators. Gags the user for X minutes. For example, /gag5 joe. If the user's name has more than one word, then it must be enclosed with quotes. For example: /gag5 "Joe Shmoe"
/alert <user> <msg> Only available to moderators. Sends a popup alert to the user. If the user's name has more than one word, then it must be enclosed with quotes.
/roomalert <msg> Same as /alert, but sends the message to all users in the room.
/chatalert <msg> Same as /alert, but sends the message to all users in all rooms.
