thx to Hawk who hosts the file,
you can download like 100.000 questions in english
for trivia

once more this file is quite big I think, and it only grew because there were people working TOGETHER,
so if you have any new questions, just send a PM,
or post the link where to find them :)

how can the time interval between two consecutive question be reduced

chill · « **Reply #72 on:** November 07, 2004, 05:00:51 pm »

with the new version here

you can set it in the *.lua file by editing this variable

TrivEx._Sets.showques = 15

15 is the number in seconds

in the old version it was

TrivEx.Sets.showques = 15

they are somewhere at the beginning of the file

_Satan_ · « **Reply #73 on:** November 24, 2004, 07:38:52 am »

I have problems in changing the questions from random mode to sequential mode i have this line

TrivEx._Sets.showquesmode = 2 -- Questions Mode 1 = Random, 2 = Sequential (e.g. 1,2,3)

but it doesnot seems to work . add a command for that.

Hmm.. I think that is a order so to make it correct you have to do

Add a command for that!

If my grammar is right,
so just you know how to consult people next time.

But it works here. So I will check it out.

chill · « **Reply #75 on:** November 25, 2004, 09:45:39 pm »

Well I also think the command comes in quite handy,
so no offence but , Could you add..., is defetly the
better way to ask.

Ahm delete your old config file before installing the new version.

V 0.68

Code: [Select]

Syntax error: `=' expected;

What did I o wrong?

chill · « **Reply #77 on:** November 26, 2004, 03:05:43 pm »

I don't know, if you did something wrong or me, but I'll
check it out, till then you could try a clean install, maybe back up your old settings and scores, and just install
the script from the package, and hope the error is gone.

night_hawk · « **Reply #78 on:** November 26, 2004, 05:07:32 pm »

Odin I am sorry, but I couldn't recall the error,
could you tell me when the error occured, here,
it would have happened when the function OnExit()
is called.
Does anybody else usning this script have the same error?

night_hawk here is a exsample,

Code: [Select]


TrivEx._Profiles = {}

TrivEx._Profiles.Normal = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[2] = "VIP",
	[3] = "Reg",
	[-1] = "Noobs",
}

TrivEx._Profiles.Config = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[2] = "VIP",
	[3] = "Reg",
}

TrivEx._Profiles["Config+"] = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
}

now if you want all your profiles to be allowed to use all commands

you would have to do this

Code: [Select]


TrivEx._Profiles = {}

TrivEx._Profiles.Normal = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[2] = "VIP",
	[3] = "Reg",
	[4] = "Mod",
	[5] = "NetFound",
	[-1] = "Noobs",
}

TrivEx._Profiles.Config = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[2] = "VIP",
	[3] = "Reg",
	[4] = "Mod",
	[5] = "NetFound",
}

TrivEx._Profiles["Config+"] = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[2] = "VIP",
	[3] = "Reg",
	[4] = "Mod",
	[5] = "NetFound",
}

as you can see the name is actually not important, but
the Profileindex is.
I can almost assure you to 99% that it works. And you
should get results when typing, +trivhelp
Unless I coded some weird things again that only work
in my hub

night_hawk · « **Reply #80 on:** November 26, 2004, 06:14:33 pm »

i only want ops mod netfounder and masters to be able to change trivia settings how do i set it up for that..

night_hawk · « **Reply #81 on:** November 26, 2004, 06:43:42 pm »

one more they my users told me it doesnot show there scores adding up when they answer a question and there seed to here is and example from the lold on eif you can get it to do this in the new one it would be great

Correct dildi the answer was "isis", You get 3 Point(s). Answer solved in 39.09 sec.
[12:40] dildi's Stats, Score: 7 Point(s), Answerd Questions: 2, Average Answering Time: 63.58 sec.

Thanx chill, for replying my both questions . I am sorry if i hurt ur ego. In fact I was getting erroneous results. It was fine when i configured it in editplus(editor) .This is a great game scriptand best trivia .and the question file of 134744 question is too much to ask about.

chill · « **Reply #84 on:** November 27, 2004, 12:50:26 pm »

hey _Satan_ its okey and forgotten, hope you can still
make use of the command lol.

Odin you also managed to set it up :).

night_hawk to get the full detailed stuff, do this

TrivEx._Sets.showcorrectanswer = 1

and your profiles should look like this

Code: [Select]


TrivEx._Profiles.Normal = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[2] = "VIP",
	[3] = "Reg",
	[4] = "Mod",
	[5] = "Net",
	[-1] = "Noobs",
}

TrivEx._Profiles.Config = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[4] = "Mod",
	[5] = "Net",
}

TrivEx._Profiles["Config+"] = {
	[0] = "Master",
	[1] = "Operator",
	[4] = "Mod",
	[5] = "Net",
}

Hawk also put up another questionfile for me,
it is smaller but has less doubles, and no Movie
and Year questions.
80.000 Questions

Other thing is does anybody know, if there are any
convetions about the questions file, I know usually
they are devided by *, but do they also divide by
category by * or maybe by : ?,
Just the $ sign was from early trivia, when I thaught
we would need 2 $$ to identify Question and Answer

VidFamne · « **Reply #85 on:** December 12, 2004, 10:02:08 pm »

I got a runtime error so I change the line; 399 to this;

Code: [Select]

self:SendToPlayers(curUser.sName.."'s Stats, Score: "..self._Scores[curUser.sName].Score.." Point(s), Answerd Questions: "..self._Scores[curUser.sName].AvTime[2]..", Average Answering Time: "..format("%.2f",self._Scores[curUser.sName].AvTime[3]).." sec.")

Dont know if its correctly done by me, but the script runs very well.
Nice work chill. :)

chill · « **Reply #86 on:** December 13, 2004, 08:15:12 pm »

Thx Vidfamme :)

The code looks good, so I'd say everybody should
change it to that line...

MusicMan™ · « **Reply #87 on:** March 10, 2005, 07:15:42 pm »

Hi Chill,

I've tried converting your script to LUA 5.2 to use with the new PtokaX hub version 0.3.3.0 build 16.05.

however m8 when i go into the script editor to check the script i get this error.

Syntax [string "-- Trivia Ex V 0.68 by chill..."]:20: `=' expected near `function'

I know that error has been reported before m8, but i think it was with LUA 4 hub.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanx

MusicMan™

Hi

I've just installed this on a new hub running Ptokax 0.3.3.0 build 16.06

When I start it up, I get the following error:

Syntax C:\Program Files\Hub\scripts\Trivia-Ex-V.0.68.lua:294: unexpected symbol near `%'

Line 294 is %self._PMPlayers[nick] = nil

Anyone know how to fix this please?

Michael :))

Psycho_Chihuahua · « **Reply #89 on:** March 28, 2005, 03:42:46 am »
