>>456I think we can try and raise it, but I can't guarantee that it's maintainable. For now we're good on file system space, but it's also the main cost driver of the server. We also have to consider the possibility that someone might try and flood us with large files to exhaust space, so we need a reasonaby large buffer. I'll drop a note when it's done.

Okay, hear me out.
The problem: EC is slow and just not "cool" anymore.
The solution: Gamify ErnstChan!
Now here's the deal.
We need D&D style dicerolls.
:d20: should spit out a nice image of a 20 sided dice with a random number selected, maybe even with a machine readable or copy pastable numeral inside.
Then we could truly play D&D, do other stupid bets or whatever.
LET'S FUCKING RIP SOME ERNSTROLLS™!

Too bad Ernst, with actual ERNSTROLLS™ this could have led to a more verifiable result for you.

How will you proceed?

>>786>and just not "cool" anymore. Freshest and most feminine chan around, bro... I mean, sis.
>We need D&D style dicerolls.Can't think of anything more fresh and feminine than D&D. Shitposting aside, would actually implement, but the pre-rendered pages are limited concerning dynamic content. I'll have look though, maybe we can do something fun.
>>788>>790There would be an additional problem that whatever is generated by the diceroll could be indistingiushable from the same content posted the regular way. For example you could pretend to have rolled a D20 just by posting that same image the normal way. I guess it would have to be something like the cirno inline icon, but it would only be accessible via diceroll.

This gives us a hard to achieve success with the power of 15 but we subtract the mods advantage of 10 wisdom

>>794Very nice, great success!
The audience is pleased with the ability to play simple games, but slight voices emerge that ask for the ability to use the whole dice set and multiple dices in one post.
But nontheless, the audience cheers for the mighty mod in shiny armor!
Maybe basing the formula on different parts of the post number? Dunno, not a brogrammer... for now.One more Ernst is still fighting to get his finger out of his rectum, as this seemingly robbed him of his voice for some reason.
We check his physical abilities with a pulling strength of 10 against a very tight, virgin anus that clenches down on the finger very hard with a power of 20.
LET IT RIP!

With his ego inflated to 15, Ernst tries to convince the rest of the gang that his job here is done, which seems like a very hard task at 20 power. 5 and higher convinces his fellow peers of his contribution to the project.

But for the mightiest of dice, I would keep the EC colors as is, it's perfect.
Maybe use more pastel tones for the rest, to give them a similar feminine EC look.

Wait, so you have a separate image for each possible dice value? Or just for the D6 because it has eyes instead of actual numbers?
Also, I like the D2-coin idea. Make the number side some relevant number (idk, years since inception of .top) and, more importantly, the head side an Ernstwurf.
No.812
>>808Ernst was a little diligent and hands over raw outlines and a proposed color scheme.
I think scaling them to size and giving adequate shading is best left to the pros tho.
Should any changes be needed this shouldn't be an issue, i.e. thicker lines or whatever.
No.813
>>809All added, except D100, for reasons.
>>810>Wait, so you have a separate image for each possible dice value?Yes. In theory, it would be possible to generate text over an image template, but that would be a nightmare on different browsers with different css and userscripts. Not saying it's not possible, but I'd rather not try.
>>812Created d4, d8, d10 and d12 from that. Waiting for a suitable coin. For d100: If that's really needed, we should go with a basic design and just spam the numbers on it. Too lazy to slap that together, though.
Now here are the six dices that are in place so far:
d4
d6
d8
d10
d12

>>815You usually have a die that has the tens (00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90), and a die with the ones (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Roll both for your result (For example, 20+8 = 28. 000 = 100).
I also bought a 100 sided die for "special occasions", like this:

Protip: Using two differently colored dice makes determining the tens and singles easier. Obviously with the strict linear format of text here that's not necessary.
That said: REEEEEEEEE THE SIX SIDED DICE NEED TO HAVE THEIR NUMBERS ON TOP

>>819>REEEEEEEEE THE SIX SIDED DICE NEED TO HAVE THEIR NUMBERS ON TOPI tried my best to not point to that fact, which gave me minor mental pain.
But as you also note it, I suggest to use the eyed dice with :w6: and the numbered dice with the regular string.
Then we have a stringent set of DnD dice and the eyed dice can be used for occasions that call for it, like playing Jackpot or whatever.

>>821Not sure about that. Since people have different css for EC, I'd prefer a basic color scheme, and there should always be transparent background. But by any means, if someone wants to give it a try and design some cool dices: Go ahead. If possible please use a naming convention of dx_y.png for the image files, where x is the max value of the dice, and y the displayed value. The first dice in

I am using "Dark" anyway. My example used a bit more pastel-y yellow, but that's what I mean, there are no official colors. How are we going to become Germany's #1 serious discussion imageboard if we don't have official colors?
