[night_hawk]

[Sarpanch]

[Jacko]

hello ?(
I am using 0.3.3.0 build 17.08debug & triv 0.68b

do any of you know of a script that will collect top 10 players from triv on my command and send info to a ptokax text file called something like trivhistory,so before i reset scores the top 10 would be logged .
so text file would show

August top 10
1st  bla
2nd bla-bla
and onward

I am thinking that i only want to log position & not all the other stuff


              thanks

I have about 18.000 questions stored in my question files, but users are still complaining about the fact that the same questions are displayed over and over again in short intervals of time...
Do you guys have any suggestion to avoid that? :(

[bangee]

old in the older versions of ptokax when you nswered the trivia questions it would look like this


[2005-08-06 13:10] nirvana
[2005-08-06 13:10] <-Trivia-> Correct MarcoLtd. the answer was "nirvana", You get 7 Point(s). Answer solved in 10.48 sec.
[2005-08-06 13:10] <-Trivia-> That gives you a total score of 7 Point(s).
[2005-08-06 13:10] <-Trivia-> QUESTION - Nr. 5426 from 6411 Questions.


now on the newer versions they look like this

[09:00:56] <-Trivia-> Correct Marco the answer was "Frankie Goes To Hollywood", You get 7 Point(s). Answer solved in 312.17 sec.
[09:00:56] frankie goes to hollywood


is there anyway to fix it to make it look like the older version. doesnt have to be exact but would like to show the total score when you answer a questions. so you dont need ot type in  !trivscore each time to find out what your score is.

thanks for any help on this

plz help me same one

[(-=TrIp-iN-SuN=-)]

when i changed to use hint command here


TrivEx._Sets.folder = "TRIVIA"               -- The name of the Folder, for the Questionfile.

TrivEx._Sets.showcorrectanswer = 1            -- 1 = shows detailed stuff, 2 = only shows that it was the right answer
TrivEx._Sets.showquestion = 1               -- 1 = Shows "Question Number,Category,Question,Answer", 2 = Shows "Question Number,Question,Answer", 3 = Shows "Question,Answer"
TrivEx._Sets.revealques = 2               -- 1 = Random displaying of hints, 2 = Displays the first letters of the hint first (Grands Trivia).
TrivEx._Sets.trivshowhint = 2               -- 1 = reveal by number of chars 2 = reveal by number of hints

TrivEx._Sets.autostop = 10               -- nil when no autostop, 1 - endless, when you want the script to stop after a certain number of unanswered questions

TrivEx._Sets.splitques = 90               -- After how many chars the question is splitted


TrivEx._Sets.memques = 50               -- How many questions are loaded into Memory

TrivEx._Sets.breaktime = 5               -- Trivia Break Time in minutes
TrivEx._Sets.timebreak = 20               -- Time in minutes till Trivia Break

TrivEx._Sets.dobreak = 1               -- 1 = do a triviabreak between 'TrivEx._Sets.timebreak' Minutes, 0 = no triviabreak

TrivEx._Sets.showques = 15               -- Time between each hint in seconds

TrivEx._Sets.displscorers = 100               -- The number of trivia scorers shown
TrivEx._Sets.displtoptrivs = 10               -- Number of top trivias shown

TrivEx._Sets.revealedchars = 2               -- Stands for how many chars are revealed per hint.
TrivEx._Sets.shownhints = 4               -- Stands for how many Hints are displayed (May not be totally accurate)
TrivEx._Sets.solveques = 2               -- The Question will be solved when there are only 'TrivEx._Sets.solveques' unrevealed chars left
TrivEx._Sets.keepstreak = 1               -- Handles streak after unanswered questions   == 1 - keep streak ; 0 - lose streak
TrivEx._Sets.maintoall = true               -- Restrict play in main == true: everyone is a player; false: every trivia player has to login
TrivEx._Sets.showstreak = true               -- true = Show streak messages; false = don't show

i all time get this

[23:47] TriviaHint is currently disabled.

[Jacko]

one of the wise ones will maybe know better way but i think the setting you want is here

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--   TRIVIA EX CONFIG
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TrivEx._Config = {}

TrivEx._Config.mode =       "main"            -- "main" = Trivia is played in MainChat, "pm" = Trivia is played in PM
TrivEx._Config.showquesmode =    1            -- Questions Mode 1 = Random, 2 = Sequential (e.g. 1,2,3)

TrivEx._Config.trivskip =    0            -- 1 = trivskip enabled, 0 = disabled

TrivEx._Config.trivhint =    0            -- 1 = trivhint enabled, 0 = disabled
TrivEx._Config.sequentialnum =    0


you are maybe changing the wrong setting  

I am using V.0.68b.lau5

[??????Hawk??????]

change

TrivEx._Config.trivhint = 0 -- 1 = trivhint enabled, 0 = disabled

to

TrivEx._Config.trivhint = 1 -- 1 = trivhint enabled, 0 = disabled

-- Converted to Lua5 By Jelf 12/03/05 With thanks to kepp
-- Trivia Ex V 0.68 by chill
-- Serialisation by RabidWombat, modded to exclude functions

-- This script is opensource, that means that anybody may edit/copy this code
-- and I will not come and cry for money, if you take bits to make a even more useless script
-- then leave a note over it with my name, would be cool :).

-- Lucida Console, Courier New

thanx bro :))

I have reported a bug in PtokaX concerning the random generated data function, which affects the TriviaEx.v.68 script. When you start the PtokaX server the questions in trivia are just the same as the last time Ptokax was started. I can see that other users have reported the same behaviour. This problems manifested itself in Ptokax 3.3.21. In the previous version 3.3.1 everything works perfectly, and if the LUA interpreter incorporated in Ptokax 3.3.21 is the same version as in 3.3.1, it is clear that the problem lies in PtokaX (something i could not convince PPK in several PM's too ... lol)

PPK: Hi, sorry but i don't know what random generator you mean  If is something in lua, then must be lua bug (i don't make any changes in lua related to random generator from 0.3.3.1 to 0.3.3.2x)...

Probably the call for the random function from the integrated LUA interpreter has some problems. I want to know if someone has discovered something new around this PtokaX bug. It is very annoying because it pretty much renders the trivia useless. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!

P.S. For all users of trivia v.0.68, if you want the script to work normally, you can downgrade to PtokaX 3.3.1 until this issue is resolved.

[bastya_elvtars]

Sorry, but bthis is incorrect. This is due to the behaviour of LUA, and has nothing to do with PtokaX. If you post a link, I will fix this in Triv.

Simple to solve, create ur own random function, if u have the knowledge to do so.
