Description
RTD was made to mimic dice-rolling plugins found on some custom multiplayer servers for other like Team Fortress 2. With these games and the user in mind, this plugin is the most customizable and user-friendly dice-rolling plugin available for Bukkit.
RTD's main functions (in more depth below) allow for the owner of the server to create and fully customize all potential outcomes of rolling the dice. In fact, the more outcomes, the better: more outcomes means more randomization. This can be exploited to a fault, of course: copying and pasting twenty copies of the same two outcomes still only gives each outcome a one-in-two shot, regardless of the number of copies.
Other plugins have preset outcomes out-of-the-box? Bah! RTD allows for easy customization, addition, and removal of outcomes.
Other plugins give you only numbers? What?! With RTD, you can replace all commands with "/say" followed by a number, and BAM!, you've just made RTD into one of those!
Got another plugin like CommandBook that you want to work with RTD? It already does! Just put the command you want into an outcome, and now your users are rolling for Thor's hammer (check that link back there).
What are outcomes?
"Outcomes", which refer to each outcome of having rolled the dice, are lists of player and console commands that will be executed should that outcome be selected by the plugin. For example, this config.yml...
# config.yml outcomes: suicide: - say $(player) rolled for SUICIDE! - kill diamond: - say $(player) rolled for a diamond! - give $(player) diamond 1
...could either give the player a diamond, or slaughter them and scatter their inventory like shredded paper. And it's totally random!
Setting up RTD
There's a bit of a guide here (link) on how to set up RTD, but it's really not that difficult.
There are three basic steps to setting up RTD:
- Download
- Download RTD from BukkitDev: just click that link up there on the right.

- Deploy
- Start or reload the server, and RTD is ready to go!

That's really odd. Go ahead and file a ticket if you can; I'm still trying to work out setting those up on BukkitDev, so if you can't, let me know. I'll get around to resolving the issue first chance I get (soon!). :)
EDIT: I lied! Go ahead and file an issue on GitHub if you can. If not, then filing a ticket should work; if that doesn't work either, I'll try and duplicate and take out the bug by myself. :)
EDIT2: I actually went ahead and filed an issue for documentation's sake. Here's a link to it. Let me know if you have any more information that could help me solve this.

Nope. Nothing in the console.

That's odd. Can you check your console and let me know if it says anything related?

Posted Feb 24, 2013Uh. I have a problem where the commands are not ran by console so they aren't being executed.

The method that RTD uses to execute commands is dispatchCommand(CommandSender, String). This allows me (as the developer) to determine whether the console or the player is executing the command; for player commands, the CommandSender passed is actually the player (as Player is a subclass of CommandSender), whereas console commands are executed by the console sender retrieved by getConsoleSender(), a method of the Server class.
Basically, yes: the player can execute some commands. In future versions, the owner or admin who does the configuration can specify that the command is a player command, and that command will be executed by the player instead of the console. I've already implemented this, but as of this writing, 1.0.1 has been uploaded but not yet approved, and it did not include this feature.
Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding you! :)

Posted Feb 17, 2013As i suggested before, would it not be easier to make the player initialize the command itself, this would get rid of having to make compatibility with other plugins. I know this is possible, seeing as command signs does it. Try to look into that, and if anything, put that as an option in the config :)
PS to everyone else: I am the one who suggested this plugin. :)

First, thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into implementing (most, if not all of) them.
And the TF2 /rtd was definitely in mind during concept, though this plugin specifically was requested. But kudos for spotting the parallel! :P
Some responses, in no particular order:
Also, I'm trying to keep RTD as stand-alone as possible. I can suggest some supplementary plugins like Essentials though, and just package them as soft dependencies (meaning that they're suggested, but not recommended). At that point, it would be up to the user to set up the outcomes in the config file to accommodate those plugins. But that's an idea, to package a version of RTD to be directly associated with other plugins.
Oh, and cooldown was packaged with version 1.0.1, which is currently awaiting the approval of the BukkitDev staff. :D

Really great plugin. By any chance did you make this because of the TF2 Roll the Dice?

Yes it does! But that's in upcoming version 1.0.1, which is just a minor tweak to the initial release.
