BogusTrivia - time between questions more than 60 seconds?

[fusionx]

H!

I've just installed BogusTrivia (2.06.4.7 Full Release) and it's working great.

I'd like to have it wait longer between questions - the max wait in "normal time" is 60 seconds. Can someone help me out extending this to a few minutes?

I did try entering "120" and it sends the next question at 60 seconds anyway.

I'd prefer to have much more time between questions - as it it, the trivia is taking over the channel - hehe.

If the config file says "between 1 and 60" (it does), it means that actually it's impossible to use more than 60s.
The script is really complex, I can't read it now and say why there is this limitation

I tried to read through all the "rest" and "slow" logic and don't really get it. I'm not a TCL programmer, that's a fact

I like that ! ... I have to remember it, for future use.

fusion,

Change the min-max,default for most BogusTrivia script settings:

Note: this works for most script settings that expect a number.

Let's say we want to always have 2 minutes between all questions.
So you go to the t-2.settings.tcl file and find the setting for time between questions...

Code: Select all

set t2(ptime) "20"    ;# play time between questions (6 to 60 seconds) #

The default maximum time for this setting is 60 seconds.

Make note of the setting-element-name, in this case, ptime

While yer here, edit that line in the settings file to be more like...

Code: Select all

set t2(ptime) "120"    ;# play time between questions (6 to 300 seconds) #

BogusTrivia has one process that does verification of all input from the settings file.
Search the t-2.tcl file for this line of code (around line 432)...

Code: Select all

proc TFixSettins {} {  global t2

The data you wish to find & change is somewhere in the next 30 or so lines...

Code: Select all

 set v(tls5) "rndlin g-say g-fludsay p-pwww l-stxt l-rtxt"
 set v(tlsdef) "on .t2 mflag o|o"

Search those lines for the setting-element-name noted earlier, in this case, ptime

Note that line and the one just after it....

Code: Select all

 set v(nls8) "qtime   ptime   ktime    maxchar    sqcnt  rqcnt   usrmax"
 set v(nds8) "6-60,15 6-60,20 6-90,20 200-999,400 3-99,6 5-99,15 200-+,500"

The code you would edit is just below the found setting-element-name, in this case, 6-60,20
Note that the 6-60 part is code for: (6 to 60 seconds)

Make those two lines look more like...

Code: Select all

 set v(nls8) "qtime   ptime    ktime    maxchar    sqcnt  rqcnt   usrmax"
 set v(nds8) "6-60,15 6-300,20 6-90,20 200-999,400 3-99,6 5-99,15 200-+,500"

Goodluck, let me know

fusion,

Change the min-max,default for most BogusTrivia script settings:

Goodluck, let me know

Spike^^ - thanks so much for the reply!

I literally just went through the script and modified those very values, moments before reading your reply. I also modified the equivalents for slow and rest, to make sure they were also set high enough to match/exceed the standard speed. I haven't uploaded the changes yet, but will do so right now.

Thanks again! Your script is awesome

Edit: uploaded and tested, working fine. Thanks again!
