[HoE] Dice roller

[Dan Massek <decker@phreaker.net>]

My dice roller program is almost complete.  Everything that is on it
works correctly(except for phy damage I think), but I have a question
about the strength portion of  physical damage.  Can you go bust on it?
I'm guessing not since its already determined that you hit.  You are
just determining how much damage is done.  If this is the case I will
have to add another function which will just be a modified version of
the apt roll without going bust.  I have already switched damage to
raidial buttons if you read my previous post on this(only on dl list)
you will see I didn't have that done yet.

The way it works for both aptitude(or trait checks) and for damage is
the same.  Choose the radial button for how many dice you want rolled
and choose the radial button for the die type you want to choose.  Then
click the approriate command button and it displays the result of the
best roll or the damage done.  There is also anothe button and display
for physical damage where you use the strength part of the roll and the
damage part of the roll and it adds them togther for you.  I also put a
1d20 roller with no rerolls on it for hit location malfunctions etc.  I
still want to add a way for it to figure out hit location.  Working on
that next.

For aptitues I have included d12+2, d12+4, d12+6, d12+8  I didn't think
I needed to go any higher but I could if you want.  I also through a d20
on the aptitude part.  I don't think anything uses that, but I figured
what the heck.

Do you guys(and ladies) want a way to check a box so dice are rolled,
but not reroll the max.  I could probably add that in too.

If you want a copy of it let me know its going to be about 1.3M, but I
am going to add the deadlands logo which will make it bigger.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome

Can someone who knows please send me the answer to the strength part of
the physical damage.  I need to know what happens if you go bust.  Is it
ignored?
Please respond by private email.  I am on the digest of the listserv and
am a little behind on it, so I will get private email way quicker.
thanks
