IRC help, rolling dice

I am an absolute noob with IRC, so I'll need pretty simple instructions. :?

Me and my friends are trying to play a tabletop game using IRC (mIRC to be precise) for our dice rolling. How do I go about this?

Details: -We're using only d6, ranging from 1 to about 8. -We won't be typing words, we're just rolling dice.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Mate

Have a look here

There are a number of dice tools you can use here that can help

Since you asked specifically for IRC, if you're playing on Dark Myst:

/join <channel>
/msg ChanServ register <channel> <password> <description>
/msg ChanServ set <channel> GameServ on
/msg GameServ set <channel> Dice on
/msg GameServ roll <channel> XdY+Z
If you omit <channel> in the roll command, GameServ PMs you the result. But that won't really help you much. Commands are case insensitive.

Perfect Snotty, just what I was looking for! Much appreciated.

Rolls can be done, once GameServ enters the channel publically, by typing `roll XdY.

I tried that Kotenku, didn't work.

Rolling via messaging to GameServ DID work though. Unfortunately, I'd REALLY like to get all the rolls so EVERYONE in the channel can see it.

If it can be done like Kotenku says, how?

Edit:

/msg gameserv roll #firefly XdY+Z that works for public rolling

If you want me to sit in your channel so you can:

!roll 1d20 or !roll 4d6 or !roll whatever

I'm fine with it XD

If you have a script accepting IRC client, there are a lot of ways to just do it yourself.

I fixed it.
