Trivia 2000 Version 2.1 Released

[Nohani]

Hi Ian Highlander

thanks for the response. This time Ive read the config file. Thanks

Now the bot is on in my channel. I already started it by !start and chose a category by !choose. But it does not at all ask any question.

When I say !start again, it says: The game is already running!

If I say !choose, it responds: Game is already running, please either wait for it to finish or enter !stop then !choose again to set category

Whats the problem now? Did I again miss something this time.

Did you change this by any chance?

Code: Select all

#Tells the bot wether or not the game is already running
#DONT TOUCH THIS!
set gameplaying 0

If you did, then change it back and rehash your bot again, if you didnt then I have no idea why its not working, are you getting any errors in the partyline? Is this on an eggdrop or a windrop?

Thanks for the response.

No, I did not change this value. I'm not getting any error in the partline.

I've installed latest eggdrop.

I dont know what to do now.

Couple of things you can try.

Issue the !stop command because that should reset that variable to 0 and the bot shouldnt think the game is playing anymore, then try !start again and see what happens.

Restart your bot instead of rehashing (this should not be necessary but I am completely running out of ideas here).

Did you get a question initially when you did !start the first time round? If so did you change the timers in the header to huge lengths or anything? (default is 15, 25, 35 and 45).

Failing that I have no idea and if you are getting no errors then I can see no reason why it wouldnt work as that version has been fully tested on all versions of Eggdrop from 1.3.23 up to 1.6.17 and is used by thousands of people with no such reports by anyone. I'm completely stumped.

You say you are using the very latest version of eggdrop which I assume you mean you are using "1.6.18 RC1" which I havent as yet tested the script on but cant see any reason why it wouldnt work. If I get time later I'll fire it up on that version and see if I get the same issues or not. (unless anyone else on here can confirm they've tried it and if its working ok or not on that version?).

Hi Ian-Highlander

thanks for your detailed response

Trivia is running well except Queen . All categories are working well but when I choose Queen, it does not asks any questions at all

May be I'm the only one who is facing this problem. It is fine with me.

Thank you for your support

That's not how you choose a category you do it like this:

<Ian-Highlander> !choose
<Mcleod> 'Trivia 2000' Version 2.2 ©Ian-Highlander 2000-2006 started, please wait for a moment.

<Mcleod> Please select a category of questions to be answered
<Mcleod> Current categories available are: Geography, Entertainment, History, Art & Literature, Science & Nature, Sport & Leisure, Queen
<Mcleod> To choose a category simply type in the first word of that category.
<Ian-Highlander> geography
<Mcleod> Questions set to Geography by Ian-Highlander enter !start to play!

Wouldn't it be easier if you make it:

!choose <category>

and if <category> doesn't exists (or none was entered) the bot will reply

Available categories: bla bla...

otherwise, the category will be set.
