Please fix the Bug. I need to use the Telegram dice bot.

Hello!
Recently the bot stopped working out of the blue.
The commands do not give any response.

Not really an issue, more like question.

My D&D Telegram group is using roll bot for our in between session events. And we agreed that deleting a bad roll is forbidden. But I was wondering is it possible that admin of the group can setup that roll bot posts can’t be deleted from the thread. Or that just admin can delete them...
Hope I’m clear enough what is the idea here?

When using it on supergroups, it sometimes just ignore the rolling commands, like /roll 4df. Adding it as a friend and use it into another conversation works correctly

This can be done via the API's built-in options.

Some items in the equation are separated by a space while others are not.

First, great bot ! 👍

Could it be possible to support diacritcs in label ?

For instance, this doesn't work :
5dF éloquence

But this does :
5dF eloquence

Thanks.

For example:

/roll 4d6+3+2d4
#Current output:
4 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 = 17

#Possible suggested output:
(4 + 2 + 3 + 1) + 3 + (1 + 3) = 17

love this bot!

But there is something a little off

Bot doesn't seem to obey 4d6dl, 4d6-L1, 4d6kh3 or any other standard dice notation for 4d6 drop lowest. It often only outputs the sum of all 4 dice rolls, ignoring the notation. Would be great to be able to do this!

There is currently no way to do advantage or disadvantage automatically (AFAIK), so incorporating a notation of AdX(kY) -> keeps the top Y rolls and AdX(klY)-> keeps the bottom Y rolls or something like that would be a great addition, for simplicity using H and L rather than K and KL is also an option.

WIKI:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice_notation

Some games extend the standard notation to AdX(kY)+B where, in addition to the above, Y is the number of dice kept ("k") from the roll. Whether the dice omitted are the highest, lowest, or the player's choice depends on the game in question. 7th Sea and Legend of the Five Rings use only 10-sided dice, with notation of the form 8k6, meaning "Roll eight ten-sided dice, keep the highest six, and sum them." Although using a Roll and keep system, Cortex Plus games all use roll all the dice of different sizes and keep two (normally the two best) although a Plot Point may be spent to keep an additional dice, and some abilities let you keep a third automatically.

An alternative notation used by the OpenRoleplaying.org die roller allows the use of a plus or minus followed by "L" or "H" instead of the modifier B, to denote dropping or re-adding the lowest or highest roll on a single die, as in 4d6−L, which means roll 4 times a 6-sided dice and drop the lowest value,respectively.[11]

Hello guys, thanks for that amazing roller!
But, whats happend? the bot do not respond anymore :/

good afternoon, I wanted to run it on my computer for tests, but I didn’t understand where to add the token for the telegram bot, at startup it swears at TOKEN = sys.argv[1], please tell me how to run it.

Sometimes you need to roll for an element from a list and it would be nice, if the bot could support that feature, e.g.:

/roll [Frank, Christa, Amy, Joel] Who goes first?

response could be

@user rolled Who goes first?:
Christa

Typing in /help suggests that you type in help(). Python then responds to this command and stalls out the bot.

Inline commands allow @ mentions of the bot from a conversation that the bot is not part of. Enabling this will allow you to roll dice from any conversation you are in via commands such as @rollembot /roll 4df+3.

Bot seems to be down. Could you please verify? Thanks

Looks like the bot is down again

Ie, any command /command@rollembot should produce the same output as /command

Hi!
Congrats for the bot. It's very usefull.

I've seen that comands like:
/r 1d20 + 3d6h + 3

are giving this kind of answer:
rolled + 3d6h + 3:
(3) =
3

Or:
rolled + 3d6h + 3:
(14) =
14

Seems that everything before or after the Highest/Lowest command is ignored. Is it a known error?

This would use the typical [number of dice]d[number of dice sides] format. For example, to roll 2 20-sided dice it would be: /roll 2d20

I'm using this bot, and it acts weird.

Rolling the README example:

/roll 4d8+16-2d4

It replies:

username: Invalid equation!
Please use dice notation.
For example: 3d6, or 1d20+5, or d12
For more information, type /help

Hello,

Today (June, 14th), when I tried rolling some d10s, Roll'em Bot did not respond, while yesterday (June, 13th), it was working fine as always.

I have no clue on what happened or on how to solve this, if something can be done on my side.
Any help would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We have tried to use this bot on our group in Telegram, but although it worked some days ago, it's not working now.
Any advice, please?

Can you help us to solve this issue?

Many thanks!

If you roll a die with one side like so /r 3d1! it breaks the bot. An if statement needs to be added to avoid one and zero-sided dice.

If I use /roll 4d6*2 the result will be something like this: 2 + 2 + 5 + 1*2 = 11. However, it should multiply the result of the preceding dice notation like this: (2 + 2 + 5 + 1) * 2 = 20. This issue goes along with #5 because the solution to this issue will probably resolve #5 as well. To fix this, add parentheses around each dice notation result.
