"Advanced" Dice.

Could someone help me with this option? I want to make some custom dice. (I want to transport over a board game that I have but it requires custom dice.) I can find pictures to fill in but I don't see an option like for playing cards where I can just drag and drop the icons onto a side. Is this still complicated where I need coding or is it simple like the cards? If it's simple just point it out to me and I can probably figure it out from there thank you.
You can't make custom dice without using the API.
You could do it as a Rollable Table, perhaps: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Tables" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Tables</a>
Alright thanks i'll look into it.

Rollable tables will work for you. You will only need to script it if you want things to happen with the rolls like adding hits and misses together, totaling up surges, etc. If you need help with that just tell me your games dice mechanics and I'll write up a script similar to what I've done for Edge of Empire, HeroQuest, and Descent. It works great and easy to use
Warhammer Fantasy 3rd Edition custom dice script would be fabulous. I tried to do it myself based on your EoE script and failed miserably. Currently using a roller in Google hangout but find the reduced screen size a pain. Sorry to jump on this but thought I'd throw my suggestion in.
I am/was doing decent the only issue now is that the images I use for the dice sides are showing up really really small in the chat is there any way to change the text chat size?

I'll look at the dice mechanics this weekend and try and get something going.

Currently using a roller in Google hangout but find the reduced screen size a pain. Sorry to jump on this but thought I'd throw my suggestion in. Two questions about the dice mechanics. For each righteous success rolled you roll the die that generated it one more time. Question is if you generate another righteous success on this extra die do you roll another? ie exploding dice? Second question, The rules say if at least one hourglass or one exertion are rolled then something happens. The question is, in the totaled result (not the dice rolled result, that will show all sides rolled) do you want to see the actual total of hourglasses and exertions rolled or just one of each to show you that the effect needs to happen? Another question. Is this the game you are talking about?

Not sure, someone should know. I can look at it later tonight. With my script you have the option of three different defined sizes though. :)
Yeah I tried to look at your script and I couldn't understand it lol. Or understand how to use it. I can hover over the picture and it'll say what the picture is of. I also have everything in my web browser rather small so that was part of it kind of. Still if I could modify it that would be excellent. Thank you all for the help so far.

The rollable tables use the same size graphic to output to the chat window no matter the size of the graphic you include, I just tried it. Mine look just fine to read, but if you use something with a lot of detail you will have trouble. Here is a screen shot I just did. As you can see the symbols look fine, but of course the card is unreadable. Maybe you just have too small a screen? :)

Scripts are easy to make work if they are already made for you, but you have to be mentor unfortunately.

I'm delighted you are looking at a script for this. Whether righteous dice continue to explode after the initial reroll is not very well explained in the rulebook and I have seen much debate on forums regarding this. All I can say is that when I play the reroll happens once and a further righteous success counts as a normal success. My personal preference would be to see the total hourglasses and exertions rolled. Thanks again for giving this a look.

I got side tracked onto another project, but will pick this one up again a bit later this week. It shouldn't be too hard to adapt my other scripts.

I just had a look at the google+ app dice roller. They have it keep on exploding. So what I'll do is put an option you can turn addition rerolls on or off.
Just caught up on posts, perfect thanks
