problems with trivia.tcl

[MrT]

Hi there,

I just installed trivia.tcl version 1.02 by DarkMist, on the latest version of eggdrop, and I can start the game, but whenever I try anything I get tcl errors. At the moment all I have been able to do is start and stop the game or skip a question...

If I try !hint i get the following error:
Tcl error [tgforcehint]: bad option "is": must be compare, first, index, last, length, match, range, tolower, toupper, trim, trimleft, trimright, wordend, or wordstart

I looked up that pat of the script and this is what comes up:

Code: Select all

#gives a hint if there is currently a question to answer.
proc tgforcehint {nick host hand chan text} {
 global tghinttimer tgnexttimer tgplaying tgchan tgcurrentanswer tgstreak tgstreakmin
 if {[strlwr $tgchan]==[strlwr $chan]} {
  if {$tgplaying==1&&[utimerexists tghint]!=""} {
   killutimer $tghinttimer
   tghint
  }
  return 1
 }
}

Also, if someone could tell me how I'm supposed to answer the question it would be helpful as I couldnt see this in the readme... I tried "!trivia <answer>" but it just seemed to sit there, then I got another error:
Tcl error in script for 'timer151':
bad option "is": must be compare, first, index, last, length, match, range, tolower, toupper, trim, trimleft, trimright, wordend, or wordstart
I think this might be the automatic hints but im not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
MrT

Your tcl version is too old for this script. (apparently it doesn't support "string is ...").

Hi MrT

That script has been superseded by the one you can get at www.eggdrop.za.net.
