Bizarre 2d6 error

#1 Post by lord_blackfang »

Hi, I just registered and I have a... thing... to report.

If I have "2d6" as part of my text outside a dice expression, my output will replace "2d6" with "0" and not process the expression at all.

Example:
Test rolling a macro

Input: 2d6 [2d6]
Output: 0 [2d6]
Or more complex:
Test rolling a macro

Input: For the love of god I am just trying to get a damn 2d6 roll, is 2d6 too much to ask for [2d6]
Output: For the love of god I am just trying to get a damn 0 roll, is 2d6 too much to ask for [2d6]
This is true in both the sandbox and on characters, as seen here http://unseenservant.com/default.asp?do ... ts&pc=5760

Testing it more, it seems the problem occurs if the literal text outside the brackets includes the same dice expression as what is in the dice brackets. Which makes it annoying to describe what I am rolling.
Test rolling a macro

Input: Same thing with 3d20 [3d20]
Output: Same thing with 0 [3d20]
Test rolling a macro

Input: Typing 3d20 but rolling only 2 of them is fine tho [2d20]
Output: Typing 3d20 but rolling only 2 of them is fine tho [2d20] = 7

Thanks for reporting this. I don't know why this is happening but I'll look into it. In the meantime, don't use dice expressions outside the brackets. Sorry, but that's the only solution I have for now.
