Die roller error in real roll but not test roll

[Zhym]

I just tried to set up the following macro:

Dual-wield rapier & dagger: R: [1d20] [1d6] (S/M) [1d8] (L); D: [1d20-1] [1d4] (S/M) [1d3] (L)

If I click the die to test-roll, I get a result. But if I go to the "Roll the dice" page and try it, I get a "Microsoft Cursor Engine error '80004005'" error.

I'm just curious why this would have a problem with real rolls but not the test roller.

Without doing some testing, I think I know what's going on. When writing the results to the database, the result string is too long. The field it is trying to write too can only accept so many characters. Try remving one or more of the dice expressions, and/or remove some of the literal text at the start of the macro.

That makes sense about it being something in writing the results. I shortened it to this, which still gives an error on a real roll:

[1d20] [1d6] (S/M) [1d8] (L); [1d20-1] [1d4] (S/M) [1d3] (L)

Maybe it's something about the number of dice being rolled?

You can only roll five at a time.

The limit of five isn't explicit, but it does make the results bump up against the character limit. This is something that I've been aware of but it hasn't really been an issue. Maybe I can work on it in a week or two once I'm officially unemployed! It can't come soon enough!!!

Hooray for unemployment?

I had the same problem today with one of my characters. It had worked till today. I cut it knocking the fire damage off it. Gonna have to put in a different Macro.

+3 Flaming L. Sword to Hit [1d20+5], to Dam sm [1d8+5], to Dam lg [1d12+5], norm fire dam [1d6], fire vs cold [2d6]

I haven't had time to work on this as I'm still employed. But, I may have time soon to see if I can make a change that effectively allows for dice macros that are double the current allowable length.
