Trivia 2000

[BigBen]

I need help getting the Trivia 2000 script running, i did some few things, i did.

source scripts/trivia_2000v2.2.tcl
source scripts/art_lit
soruce scripts/entertainment
source scripts/geography
source scripts/history
source scripts/queen
source scripts/science_nature
source scripts/sport_leisure

last time i put it in a diffrent file, and went in the tcl script, and then put the file name like C:\Trivia-scores\Scores that didnt work,

anyone know how to get it working?

[Sir_Fz]

You configure the script trivia_2000v2.2.tcl and load it, it ONLY. You shouldn't load the other question files via source.

[BigBen]

I edited the script, and i get [19:34] Tcl error [strip_colour_codes]: couldn't open "C:/Trivia-Questions/entertainment.txt": no such file or directory


I got that in there, and i got copys of them in the eggdrop bot folder scripts.

[Sir_Fz]

Well it's clear, "no such file or directory." Put the files in the correct directory.

[BigBen]

i did something kinda like this C:\Trivia-Questions\geography.txt


and C://Trivia-Questions//geography.txt and they come out with:

[17:46] Tcl error [strip_colour_codes]: couldn't open "C:Trivia-Questionsentertainment.txt": no such file or directory


[17:43] Tcl error [strip_colour_codes]: couldn't open "C://Trivia-Questions//entertainment.txt": no such file or directory


i thought about putting \\ but i think that wont work.

This sounds very familiar in another post somewhere:

You place everything regarding that trivia script into ~./scripts directory.

Edit the Tcl file (if at all required) so that it points to the necessary text files i.e "./scripts/geography.txt"

This works with Windrops and eggdrops.

something bad is always happening, when someone gets a answer right, and it shows: [18:51] Tcl error [answercheck]: error reading "file15": illegal operation on a directory


i look in it, and put a # to make it stop, but it still says it. plus it;s going in file order, like file 15, file 16 and so on

[rosc2112]

the file15, etc, errors are errors from open/close operations.. I'd dump the script if it has those kinds of errors. Plenty of better written trivia scripts available.

Thanks, I'll try not to take that too personally

In fairness though I never tested the script on Windows eggdrops and only ever ran it on "real" ones as I have no interest in winbots whatsoever.

However, there are many many people using my script on Windows bots with no problems whatsoever so it sounds more like a local issue on that machine.

By the way, my script may not be the best written script in the world in your opinion, but it is the number seven highest downloaded script from egghelp.org and has the highest downloads of any trivia quiz by a long way. I'll let the figures speak for themselves

source scripts/trivia_2000v2.2.tcl
source scripts/art_lit
soruce scripts/entertainment
source scripts/geography
source scripts/history
source scripts/queen
source scripts/science_nature
source scripts/sport_leisure

the third line is wrong...its 'SOURCE' and not 'SORUCE'

Doesnt matter, its not called like that anyway, only the first line should be in the config file. The locations for the question files are all configured at the top of the script itself.

In a perfect world all the effort that scriptors put into detailed (clear and concise) instructions in their file headers will actually be read.

If that happened I guess we'd all be out of a "job".

nah, you'd still be guessing what nowadays eggdrop owners actually want

looking to see if can add this to this script (Trivia_2000v2.2)
I had a mIRC trivia script were I could add titles to the script for X# of points per player ?
exp. player abc seaches 30 points now the bot tell him u are not trivia private
it would also save this title untill the next title is seached
Thx in advance

[Ian-Highlander]

Well I'm always open to suggestions with the script but don't actually understand what you mean, if you can explain it a bit more thoroughly for me, if I like the idea I'll stick it on my "to do" list for Trivia 2000.

Cheers
