Hints for version 6.0

Post by Swift »

I am hoping please that someone can help me with a problem I have.

Since reinstalling my eggdrop bot, the hints have changed and, after thorough searching through files, i cannot find how to get it back to normal

Before, the bot always gave letter and vowel hints but now you have to ask for a hint (!hint) and all you get is either scrambled or reverse hints

I have lost so many players since this happened because they dont like the new format

Can anyone tell me please what I change to get the original format back?

The bot is registered so all these should be available.

thank you in advance :)

I'm sure this isn't the right place to post this question.

What trivia script are you trying to run?

I thought it was as it said "Eggdrop help".. sorry if I am wrong

I dont understand what you mean by "trivia script".. the bot came as a whole trivia game - i edited the config file etc and uploaded and it works fine except for the hint situation.

I know it is registered but cant find any reference to it... maybe thats the problem as things dont work 100% if its not registered but we are talking 6 years ago and its hard to remember

Eggdrop is an irc bot, and does a little channel control by default.

Eggdrop has Never included a trivia game by default.

So, exactly what did you download and install?
When you start the bot, what does it tell you it is?

I still insist this is Not an Eggdrop question, but is a trivia game question.
No one can help you with your trivia game if you don't know what game it is.

Maybe this is the script you have questions on:

Nerfbendr's Triviabot v6.0 Beta ©Copyright 2000+ by Nerfbendr

It seems to be the only trivia game at version 6.0

Yes you are correct - it is Nerfbendr's Triviabot v6.0 Beta and so sorry i didnt know how to answer your question.

I am thinking from your reply that you wont be able to help me - its run on a shell account and is fine except for this hint problem

I am considering changing it altogether if I cant solve the problem - anyway, I will keep looking and maybe will come up with the answer to my problem

thank you for your time :)
