Decreasing Points + others

Post by Swift »

Hi,

I havn't been here for a long time but just recently have had to change servers and, on setting up the new bot, a few problems have come up which I cannot solve and I hope you can help me with.

Firstly, I can't find in the Triviabot.config file how to stop the points decreasing after each hint. Also no letter clues are given any more, not automatic nor when a player gets the correct letter in the correct place. Players are really missing this. All the relevant commands are enabled to allow this but it just doesn't happen.

Secondly, our bot is accumulating points when no one else is in the room and this can be quite annoying as "he" is always top lol. (@trivbot> Since nobody answered correctly I get a point!) I have found the command in the FullTriviabot65 file (which of course I havn't touched!) but can't find it anywhere else to disable it. I automatically looked in the Triviabot.config file but nothing seems apparent and its definitely not in the eggdrop.config file.

By the way, I am running 1.6.20

Is there anyone who can help me please? It would be much appreciated

Thank you

:D

Ok we have solved one problem namely the bot gaining points but still have no hints showing in the clues between questions.

Thee two commands are enabled - I assume this is correct:

## Enable Interval Clues? (Th'bot fills in a letter after each interval...1=Enable, 0=Disable!)
1
## Enable Letter Fill-In If Players Guess them right During the Round? (1=Enabled, 0=Disabled)
1

Is there something else I should either Enable or Disable? Just hope someone can help out there because the bot just isnt the same without these features :(

Thanks

I have been doing some more research into this and have come up with a possible reason for the letter hints not showing.

It would appear that there is some script missing in my fulltriviabot65 file which relates to filling in letters. this would explain why the commands in triviabot.config dont work.

I am guessing I need to add some script but am very unsure of what to add and where to add it...

Am still trying to get the "FillInLetters" to work and the "Enable Interval Clues". I have tried looking at the config and tcl files but they seem file. All the commands are there.

Any suggestions for me please?

From Triviabot.config
## Enable Interval Clues? (Th'bot fills in a letter after each interval...1=Enable, 0=Disable!)
1
## Enable Letter Fill-In If Players Guess them right During the Round? (1=Enabled, 0=Disabled)
1

From FullTriviabot65:
set f [open "Triviabot_Config.txt" r]
set variables "triviaowner ownerhost nameofbot triviachannel validbanks IntervalClueEnable FillInLettersEnable (and lots more)
