Thanks, i needed this fix Works like a charm.

I'm writing my own questionfiles atm, and i have around 2000 questions. Is it possible to make the .mix command work when the database has lesser questions than 3500??

[SpiKe^^]

Another mix is possible but not likely soon. Existing mix command shuffels files together, requires atleast 4 database files to work at all.
Was thinking that any database less than around 10,000 questions would be unusable, as they would loop around way too often to make a playable game. So that's why .mix works as it does.

Bogustrivia works fine with special chars... thanks and congratulations!
If you allow me, I'd like to make some suggestions, I'll repeat it: SUGGESTIONS (NO requests)
I have seen a trivia game on a channel (I think it's a perlbot module) that has 2 interesting features:

- Scrabble support (it awards player who type the longer correct word)

- Too many answers Protection. Disqualify player for that question

- Could you imagine Bogustrivia supporting Fill-ins of correctly guessed characters in the answer during a trivia round like Nerfbendr's Triviabot? It would be... ... (I don't have words to describe that )

Note: The "lifetime score" problem (the file was deleted) I had talked about some time ago, it exactly happened the 1st day of the 4th month from the beginning of the game. If noone has submitted something like this... I guess it was a shell's failure like you have said

[SpiKe^^]

please explain what this bot does exactly.

please explain what this bot does exactly.

Well, the bot auto-fill any characters that are correctly guessed in the answer during a trivia round... so for example if the correct answer is pillow and someone guesses yellow then it will auto-fill like this:

Triviabot: ******
Player: yellow
Triviabot: **llow

Note that if the word typed is for example low, the bot wouldn't auto-fill anything, because the letters are not in the right order, but It would auto-fill if a player types words like:

- follow ->Triviabot: **llow
- window ->Triviabot: *i**ow
- singer ->Triviabot: *i****

Every 4 - 7 hours the eggdrop falls down ( version 2.06.1 on eggdrop 1.6.18 )
The trivia game works perfectly, I've just noticed this issue.

[starr]

I've seen this error only once before. I've not been able to recreate it in any configuration. A reinstallation of the eggdrop and script solved it for the user last year.

I'm interested in what is causing this error myself. If you would like to download your complete eggdrop folder, edit your eggdrop config and remove your ip/host and email it to me I'd be happy to run it from one of my shells and nail down this problem.

I do have a few Questions.

Have you editied the script itself in any way?
Have you any other scripts running with Bogustrivia?
What tcl version is installed on your shell?

Please add any other information you think may be relevant and send to me at starr@mytclscripts.com

[Torrevado]

Issue is fixed. Some time ago I had added this lines to the script:

Code: Select all

set nameOfMonth [lindex {Diciembre Enero Febrero Marzo Abril Mayo Junio Julio Agosto Septiembre Octubre Noviembre} [clock format $lut -format %m]]


set nameOfMonth [lindex {Diciembre Enero Febrero Marzo Abril Mayo Junio Julio Agosto Septiembre Octubre Noviembre} [clock format $dut -format %m]]

A few weeks ago the problem appeared. Now I changed those lines for:

Code: Select all

set nameOfMonth [string map { 
   December  Diciembre 
   January   Enero   
   February  Febrero
   March     Marzo
   April     Abril
   May       Mayo 
   June      Junio 
   July      Julio
   August    Agosto
   September Septiembre
   October   Octubre
   November  Noviembre
} [strftime %B $lut]]


set nameOfMonth [string map { 
   December  Diciembre 
   January   Enero   
   February  Febrero
   March     Marzo
   April     Abril
   May       Mayo 
   June      Junio 
   July      Julio
   August    Agosto
   September Septiembre
   October   Octubre
   November  Noviembre
} [strftime %B $dut]]

Now it works fine, no more errors on the console and eggdrop doesn't shut down

By the way, I tried v2.06.2 Beta2 recently, and I noticed that if the eggdrop shuts down (due to a shell, trivia or another script error), the trivia game won't be "auto - restarted" like previous versions did

Hai .. how to view users ranking like !top 10 !rank also which file store user ranking??

Tq

[Zircon]

For BogusTrivia, there is no commands like !top10 or !rank, and no ranking file. There is a file t2.users, that contain the scores of all the users, but not in a ranking order. But depending on your settings in t-2.settings.tcl, the script display eachtime on the channel the first 10, or 20 or 30 users with their scores. Also if the html part is enabled, you can view anytime on webpages the scores of the numbers of users you specified on t-2.html.tcl, like me i did chose to display in the webpages the scores of the first 100 users, for the day, the week, the month, and Total.

Here is an example : http://freedom.ispeeds.net/~bogus
