##################################################################################################### # # # "Trivia 2000" Version 1.2.5 ŠIan-Highlander 2000-2005 (ian.highlander@eggdropsrus.co.uk) # # A Trivial Pursuit style game with six queston categories available to choose from by public # # command, automatic host adding for tracking users scores, top ten scores command etc etc # # This script started life as a fun hobby for a chat room I was in many years ago and has become # # incredibly popular, after a break from the world of IRC I thought it was time I started the long # # promised updates, this "interim" release fixes a couple of small bugs and brings the long awaited # # !score command into use at last. To say the popularity of this script was a surprise to me is an # # understatement, even with no updates in four years it is still the seventh most popular script # # downloaded from egghelp.org's archives. I am constantly emailed by people asking for updates and # # information which humbles me beyond words. Thanks for the support to everyone out there using my # # little scripts, I hope this update goes a step towards bringing you what you want from it. # # I've now started working on a major new release of Trivia 2000 which I hope to release soon. # # # # Trivia 2000 would not exist as it is now without the help of the people below, so thanks to them. # # Brian (^^Highlander^^) for his hard work helping me on the randomisation code. It's actually very # # clever and tracks all questions used within a category so it wont repeat a question until it's # # used them all from that category unless you change categories at which point all counters are # # reset which does result in repeats if you switch back to the previous one. # # Stdragon/stdarg who helped write and test the user host adding code which adds users to your bots # # userlist when they get a question right and then tracks them by nickname and hostmask adding new # # hostmasks as needed automatically. It wont however add hostmasks to anyone who has any flags on # # there username in the bots userlist thus avoiding spamming to gain access to the room. # # The scores section is adapted from Wordgame.tcl v1.0 by "Murf" which was my original inspiration # # to write this script, a very clever little word game that formed the base for the original beta # # versions of Trivia 2000 before it grew into what it is today. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # A trivia game script that asks trivia questions to the room. # # With six different question categories built in and question files provided. # # Designed for people wanting something other than the standard word game scripts. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # I take no responsibility if this script causes any problems for you or your bot. # # Originally designed on Eggdrop 1.3.23 and tested up to Eggdrop 1.6.17 This script is provided # # completely free of charge. # # Feel free to amend or improve this script, but if you make improvements,please send me a copy :o) # # All I ask is that this message, the copyright message in the script and the "Loaded" message at # # the end of the script are not changed. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # If You would like to receive updates as and when they are available, please email me. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # New in Version 1.1 # # !trivia command bound to same list of commands available as !help command, too many people using # # !trivia because other scripts use this command :o), this needed to be explained to users easily. # # Bot can now be in multiple rooms, game can only be playing in one, set this in $gamechan variable # # anyone trying to use game commands in any room other than game room will be directed to the # # correct room. # # Bot now adds new players automatically, and keeps score for them from first correct answer. # # Re-wrote half of the score keeping section ready for the !score command to be implemented. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # New in Version 1.2 # # Bug Fix: Any answers which are numbers now work correctly instead of taking the first digit as a # # colour code and displaying it with the first digit missing it now works as it should. # # !score command now works and shows the top ten scorers "Overall" and "Today" scores. # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # New in Version 1.2.5 # # Modification made so that the bot now gives your daily AND total scores so far when you get a # # question correct allowing users to track their own scores if not in the top ten. # # Trivia version variable added for easier use and tracking during future "enhancements". # # # #####################################################################################################
