Online HS How-to-play and Question Dump

On the front page of the thread it says to PM AwesomeUnleashed if you can't find a figure you need. You can also proxy until it gets added.

Who do I send a request for 3D figures in the template? I'd like to get Marro Drones added.

I actually did this recently: I believe awesomeunleashed updated it with everything he owns, meaning he doesn't own the Marro Drones. Here's the full text if anyone cares:

Spoiler Alert!
 
Yes, only 10 cards don't have 3Ds yet (including C3V). Hopefully, at least the 6 being used in OHS6 will be in within the week.
 
So do you hold Ctrl and click on a unit to highlight it? I did it a while ago, but can't remember if that was how.
 
Did you get the w at the end? I copied this 1xaiNsTHlnthe1I1FCmPvA_vjeUQmeqi92MRhEr6V10w in and it worked assuming you're doing a shan-yu playtest.
 
I have a question and this is probably the best place to put it. I'm thinking of doing something like the online heroscape for other games I'm running ideas for and involve die rolling and other things similar to this. Might I ask how exactly the online heroscape app was made? I understand if you can't answer this, just wanted to try out my luck. Also my online heroscape thingie now rolls the D20 too without me touching the button. It's done it when I've played non-d20 armies so I know I'm not pressing it. This and the rolling zero dice are starting to become annoying and more frequent. Does anyone know what could be causing this, please?
 
Stupid Question: To watch a match, do I type 'Sock' and hit the 'Enter name and login' button? I think that's right, but I don't want to accidentally enter myself as a player.

You don't have to enter a name to watch, as you should be able to view the game, as a spectator, via the game link. However, you will need to do so if you are a)playing (your above method works) or b) wanting to comment via the chat log and/or view the game stats.

Note that spectators can use the google doc chat functionality, which really is the preferred method to commentate without disrupting the game.

It was made with frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails. ;)

If you have the d20 button highlighted or 'active,' and then press the ENTER button, it will roll the d20.

Sounds like a bit of bad luck, as the rolls DO average out over time (this has been tested, btw).
I understand the description of your problem, now.

I don't think he means rolling 0 when rolling dice. Sometimes it will say that he rolled 0 skulls/shields out of "total dice." As opposed to saying "Heroscaper Guy rolled 3 skulls out of 4 total dice," it says "Heroscaper Guy rolled 0 skulls out of total dice." It doesn't do it when he goes to roll dice, but just randomly - same with the d20, except that displays a number as well.

At least I believe this is what he's referring to. We played yesterday and it happened maybe 10 times throughout our game. That might be on the low end, I wasn't exactly counting.

Ok, thanks for clarification. I have an inkling as to the problem (sounds like a keyboard shortcut that is triggering an unintentional automation of the skull rolling); let me dig around and see what I can find out.

EDIT: Can you please share the chat log with the errors? And, Heroscaper Guy, what browser and/or operating system are you using (Windows 7, Mac OS, etc)?

All-right the chat log is in the spoiler box. The browser is Firefox version 19.0.2 and the operating system is Windows 7 professional.
Spoiler Alert!
 
On first glance, I can tell that you are double-clicking on the SEND button in the chat window. For example:
(1:14 PM) Heroscaper Guy: what did you do?
(1:15 PM) Heroscaper Guy:
Click to expand...
The blank line, above, generally means that you have double-clicked, which is not necessary (a single-click on the buttons will do). I have not been able to yet replicate the peculiar rolls (which happened 8 times); for example:
(1:15 PM) Heroscaper Guy rolled 0 shields with total dice

But, I also think that this is tied in with the double-clicks. I recommend that you try out another test game, with single clicks, and see if you still have the same problems.
