The thing is you have to create a table for each dice using the images and the table out of the book.  

You can do this pretty simply by following the instructions here (granted you need to have your own dice images): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqfi0-5CEF4

Then you will just edit the macro text found in http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490062/SWEotE_MaptoolMacro.txt with your dice table names.

If you have any questions feel free to holler.

(I would just post the campaign file, but I am not sure how FFG would feel about that so hopefully the above will help you out).

 

AWESOME!! Thanks for this.

I will be working on this over the next week. I actually had already started building out a Customer D6 Maptools Campaign already but was going to switch to Roll20 because it is extremely slick. This is sweet. Thanks!

 My group of players really badly wants to play online but we have no way of doing the dice.  If I could find a framework for MapTool or something we would be in business.

 Yeah I made a quick and easy dice rolling macro for d6 for a friend for running Star Wars through maptool a few years ago hehe.

It's not an online dice roller, but I made an excel spreadsheet to roll dice and give results.  If anyone is interested here's a link.

Mine was kind of custom. We used the Success counting system from DC Heros game (4-6 = 1 success) instead of counting up all the dice. We eliminated all the +1 and +2 to stats, etc. I had made one that would ask how many D to roll. you would put in say "5" and it would roll and 4 and the Wild Die…. then print out successes.

So, here is a little something I can post when done if anyone wants it. This is just a teaser, but I want them to look a bit more like dice than just the faces…

Cool. I will post a zip of all the dice when I get them done. Might be a while though, I was just playing with this right now. Probably start working on this in the next week or so. Also I think the symbol will be a bit smaller. The ones with 2 results are about the same size as one. so I will probably use the same sizing method… however… Triumph and Despair WILL be big like this. Also, the dice size in general will perhaps be smaller. I will have to play with it in MapTools.

They will have in the name somewhere, the die result (as reference to the chart) so they match exactly without having to look it up. So a name like BLK-02.png, meaning Black "2" roll result. I will have to figure out how I want exactly to do it though since some sides have the same thing. Untimately I want them to be in Numbic order though for ease. I will probably have to start making them before I decide.

MindShadow, it might be cool enough if we build this out a bit… to break this out into a thread about "MapTools Online Support". Whatta you think? Easier to find if people use it.

 Yeah if it going to focus mainly on providing utilities designed specifically for that then it certainly would make sense so that it can remained more focused and those that do not even care to use it as an online tool can ignore it :).

At the beggining of this year with a friend developed a Twitter Dice Roller Daemon named "Ask Dadinci". Right now you can use the table 1-1 in page 12 of the manual to convert result.

The instruction are in this page

FOR EXAMPLE:

If you need to roll 2 ability, 1 proficiency, 1 difficulty and 1 set back you can ask Dadinci:
@dadinci 2d8+1d12+1d8+1d6

In this example Dadinci answered:
@filupa 17 [2/3][7][3][2] (all individual die rolls between square brackets)

Using the table 1-1 in page 12 this roll  was:
1º Ability = 2 => SUCCESS
2º Ability = 3 => SUCCESS
Proficiency  = 7 => SUCCESS + ADVANTAGE
Diffciculty = 3 => FAILURE x2
SetBack = 2 => BLANK
-------------------------
The FINAL RESULT for this pool was: ONE SUCCESS + ONE ADVANTAGE
-------------------------

I hope this can help.

It's is possible in some time we add the Edge of the Empire "Custon System"

 

Greeting

FILUPA
