################################################## Date: 26Feb08 ## ## BogusTrivia 2.06.3.2 by SpiKe^^ The Ultimate Trivia Script ## ################################################################### This Document Contains Important BogusTrivia Notes Please READ!! 1. You will no longer find the BogusTrivia html generator included with any release of BogusTrivia. It is available for download as an add-on script to enhance BogusTrivia for those users wanting html player stat pages. The new html page generator is called BogusHTML 2.06.2.beta3 and can be downloaded on my site or egghelp. 2. New question files may use any file names you choose. If your files have "triv" in their filenames, they can be added using just the .add command. There is no limit on file line count, though I recommend several files of not more than 20,000 questions each, as they will mix better. The bot will accept Any text file extension (ie: .txt, .lst, ect). The amount of Q&A is limited only by your shell capacity or, 1 million questions. 3. Custom ON|OFF Trigger(s) can be anything you like with the except of special characters : Example: !trivon or !triv on 4. To Reset ALL Player Scores, DELETE the t2.user & t2.hist files located in the t2 folder. 5. Reguarding KAOS: The Hint command is unavailable during KAOS. If KAOS Questions are Present in your Normal Question File(s), they MUST start with KAOS: example: KAOS: question: *answer*answer A Stand Alone (all kaos) KAOS File may be added with the .addk (this file may omit the KAOS: at the line start) 6. Bogustrivia Can Be Run As KAOS ONLY by changing the t2(kaos) setting to "1" and loading at least 1 question file. 7. The script uses a Database to store it's Questions*Answers. The Question Files you add WILL be DELETED after bring added to the database!! ALWAYS Keep Backups of All your Trivia Files!! 8. The t2.user and t2.hist CANNOT be edited by hand. Scores are generated by the bot in a machine format. If edited they WILL no longer work and your trivia will be down. 9. Hints shouldn't be less the 10 seconds apart to avoid flooding. 10. Questions shouldn't be less the 12 seconds apart if any stat lines settings are set "3" (show 30 users). 11. Mixing a large Database of 200,000 Questions or more can cause the bot to hang and shut down. This is NOT a Bogustrivia issue. The issue occurs when mixing large databases causes you bot to exceed your shells process load limit. 12. If you enable the restart on join in the settings below it is recommended you also enable user & history file backup. This setting has been known to cause file loss during splits and ghosting of your trivia bot. ### NEW SETTINGS ### # restart game on rejoin ?? # set t2(restart) "0" ;# (1=yes | 0=no) # # database backup # (0=off | 1=keep 1 backup) # or keep 'x' backups # set t2(bakupu) "1" ;# backup the user file ?? # set t2(bakuph) "1" ;# backup the history file ?? # # backup user file how often # 1 = once a day at midnight # 2 = twice at noon & midnight # set t2(bakhow) "1" ### END NEW SETTINGS ### Please feel free to visit my web site http://www.mytclscripts.com for more in depth information on this script.
