Add to quickstart list a new Dice calculator default

I would like the following dice calculator layout added to quickstart. It seems to work best for games which use the d20 for actions. (too many game systems (and editions thereof) to count.)
/sum_custom_set start buttons: 7;8;9;+;-;4;5;6;(;);1;2;3;d;r;0;00;d20;k;l;(2d20k1)@adv;(2d20L1)@dis; always_sum_result: true hide_expression_in_answer: false answer_format: full dice_image_style: polyhedral_3d dice_image_color: red_and_white
The 2 weakest buttons being ADV and DIS, but due to 5e's popularity, and also that players seem to have started using the advantage rules for circumstance bonuses/penalties in other games, it seemed worth having them in the default.
The layout is also intentional. Placing the d20 next to the roll button, for example.
And the addition of the 'r' is important for being able to roll things in parentheses multiple times (a weapon that is (1d8+1), for example.
I will replace the old dice calculator quickstart with your improved version in the next bot update, see #452
Sounds great! : )
I apparently did a typo. I think the ADV and DIS should have been in capital letters for the buttons.
/sum_custom_set start buttons: 7;8;9;+;-;4;5;6;(;);1;2;3;d;r;0;00;d20;k;l;(2d20k1)@adv;(2d20L1)@dis; always_sum_result: true hide_expression_in_answer: false answer_format: full dice_image_style: polyhedral_3d dice_image_color: red_and_white
funny - I guess this interface automatically turns ADV to adv if it's after an at symbol
No problem, i can add them with capital letters. In the next update there will be a option where you can mark a button in the sum_custom_set command, so it will trigger the roll directly. That mean if you click on the d20 it will directly roll it and you don't need to click first the Roll button. Would that be something for the d20 button?
If I am understanding you correctly, I think I would prefer to need to press roll after pressing d20, to allow for longer potential strings for the Dice Calculator.
I think what you are proposing would be more useful for a layout like the default you have for 5e:
/custom_dice start buttons: D20;2d20k1@D20 Advantage;2d20L1@D20 Disadvantage;;1d4;1d6;1d8;1d10;1d12;1d100;2d4=@2d4;2d6=@2d6;2d8=@2d8;2d10=@2d10;2d12=@2d12;2d20=@2D20 answer_format: full
Where you are just pressing 1 button per dice roll.
Ok, i will keep it as it is. If you like the new direct roll option when it is live i can include still include it late
The new quickstart is now live
