TriviaBot V.2.2 for Lua 5

[dragos_sto]

it possible but i think it a little to hard because u fave to
 synchronize answer whit question or to read from same line from both file.
So i thing it little easy to put them in one file

[TommyGun]

Thanks for the answer.

But i got questions.txt with 7991 questions and answers.txt with 7991 answers. I got the tool EditPlus 2 but how can i make from this 2 txt's one txt?

Thanks in advance.

[Dessamator]

the syntax for the file should be something like this:

Finish The Song Line: And she's buying a stairway _ _*to heaven

this is the question:

Finish The Song Line: And she's buying a stairway _ _

and this is the answer:

*to heaven

ps.: the answer always comes after the "*",

Good Luck !

[Dessamator]

heres a script that should help, but theres 1 thing the lines must be exact in both cases.
eg: (file 1, line 1)what programming language are we using?
(file2,line1) lua !!!.

the script :

--By Dessamator
--Simple file(lines) "joiner"

file1 ="file1.txt" -- first file
file2 ="file2.txt" -- second file
file3 ="file3.txt" -- output file

function Main()
	local line1,temp,i="","",nil
	for line in io.lines(file1) do 
		if  i~= nil then
			temp=temp..line.." *"..line1.."\r\n" 	
		end
		for line2 in io.lines(file2) do 
			if i==nil then
				temp=temp..line.." *"..line2.."\r\n" 	
				i="1"
			else
				line1=line2
			end
		
		end
	end
	i=nil
	io.output(file3)
	io.output()
	local file = io.open(file3, "w+") -- "w" write
	file:write(temp)
	file:close()	
end

[TommyGun]

Nevermind. I changed everything to one file :)

[lampje]

what i'm doing wrong if i change some things..

i put now in trivia.dat this...

breinkraker: 97 - 90 =---------- *7
breinkraker: 31 - 30 =---------- *1
breinkraker: 99 - 90 =---------- *9
breinkraker: 27 - 20 =---------- *7
breinkraker: 13 - 10 =---------- *3
breinkraker: 44 - 40 =---------- *4

and more of this

but its not working X(

if i put the anwser in the main chat.. is nothing happend.
 ?(  ?(  ?(

no errors if i start the script

o syntax errors in script file Trivia.Lua5.lua
Script started.

what must i do to make it working?

[TommyGun]

Very strange. Your .Dat file is looking good...

But i got a questions;

What do i need to change so normal users can start the Trivia also?

[Stravides]

Please can you help - I have made a couple of ammendments to this script to include the autoload at start - a skip function and changed the way the points work a little... problem is - since Lua 5.
If I run this for more than 10 mins it makes my PtokaX run at 100% cpu and kills the hub...

here is the code - can you test it with my question file too

Many thanks in Advance

Also in reply to make anyone start trivia try changing

   	elseif (string.lower(firstWord) == string.lower(StartTrigg)) then
      			if (curUser.bOperator) then
	        		if (lngWord == 0) then
          				playerArray[curUser.sName] = 1
          				SendToAll(BotName, strStart)
          				if (lngMode == 2) then
        	    				SendToPlayers(strStart)
	          			end
          				StopQuiz(1)
        			else
          				SendToAll(BotName, "There is already a game going on type "..JoinTrigg.." to join!")
        			end
	     		else
				curUser:SendPM(BotName, "Only Operators can start the Trivia because it might be off for a reason.")
      			end

to

   	elseif (string.lower(firstWord) == string.lower(StartTrigg)) then
        		if (lngWord == 0) then
       				playerArray[curUser.sName] = 1
       				SendToAll(BotName, strStart)
      				if (lngMode == 2) then
      	    				SendToPlayers(strStart)
         			end
       				StopQuiz(1)
      			else
       				SendToAll(BotName, "There is already a game going on type "..JoinTrigg.." to join!")
      			end

I dont know ..

meaby you can try this...

-- TriggStart is what char the commands should begin with I use ! but you can use # or whatever
TriggStart = "+"

now you can start the game with  +tbstart

but i dont know of a normal user can start the game with this command :)

[Stravides]

nothing to do with what character prefix you use....

its the line if (curUser.bOperator) then
that ask if current user is an operator then let them
see my previous post above !!!

It works perfect! Can you do the same with tbstop? Thanks!

[Stravides]

well maybe ya coulda worked it out ....
change 1st to 2nd.....

   elseif (string.lower(firstWord) == string.lower(StopTrigg)) then
      if (curUser.bOperator) then
        HoldQuiz()
        StopQuiz()
        SendToAll(BotName, strStopp)
        if (lngMode == 2) then
          SendToPlayers(strStopp)
        end
      end

   elseif (string.lower(firstWord) == string.lower(StopTrigg)) then
        HoldQuiz()
        StopQuiz()
        SendToAll(BotName, strStopp)
        if (lngMode == 2) then
          SendToPlayers(strStopp)
        end

[kunal]

can u add right click cmds for the trivia bot 2.2

[Stravides]

maybe something along these lines ... make sure the commands at the end match the triggers used in the main code

function Trivia(user)
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 255 7") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 0 3") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 *** "..frmHub:GetHubName().." Trivia ***$<%[mynick]>#124;") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Admin\\Trivia\\Start Trivia$<%[mynick]> !trivia|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Admin\\Trivia\\Stop Trivia$<%[mynick]> !tbstop|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Join Trivia$<%[mynick]> !tbjoin|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Leave Trivia$<%[mynick]> !tbpart|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Admin\\Trivia\\Save Scores$<%[mynick]> !tbsave|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Show Players$<%[mynick]> !tbwho|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Show Top Ten$<%[mynick]> !topten|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Show Question$<%[mynick]> !tbquestion|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Hint Question$<%[mynick]> !hint|") 
	user:SendData("$UserCommand 1 3 Trivia\\Skip Question$<%[mynick]> !skip|") 
end



function NewUserConnected(user)
	Trivia(user)
end

I'm having so many problems running this script I am unsure where I can look for the fault - at least someone give me some ideas how to possibly trap the error :)

Hi there m8.
Had a quick look, did some small changes and tested it for 15 minutes and seems to work OK now.
Wherever you find:

handle = io.open(file, "w")

replace it with

handle = io.open(file, "w+")

As you can see, an extra "+".
Guess that's the only problem.
Ah, another hint, you could use these for less repetition:

OpConnected = NewUserConnected
OpDisconnected = UserDisconnected
ToArrival = ChatArrival

Cheers m8

[Stravides]

greatly appreciated - will test it now...

Well - sadly --- No hung the Ptokax Server process
at 99.99% ie nothing was processing - dont know why the cpu is being churned so much - any ideas ??

Tried running it again and it also hung up. So, my hints were wrong
Did you change something in the script?
Did this happen with the first Lua 5 version of the bot?

[Stravides]

very minor changes -
added a skip function and renamed some of the triggers.
changed the point values to reflect 4 hints ie 5,4,3,2,1 points

and changed the way the result is displayed to the user...


apart from that no  hehe

Well, I left the first Lua 5 version by Jelf running till now (about 45 minutes) and it didn't crash, but, the memory usage is quite high (Mem: 2710 and GC: 4981) comparing to Trivia Ex. So, it can be something in the mods you made.

[Stravides]

Ok I have re-enabled the original and had it working solo on a test hub for nearly an hour
I place the exact code into the live hub and it kills the hub in minutes...

I am running my own smeagol bot also and believe that there must be an incompatability or its jsut down to the number of users on the server

I dunno...

but now tried :-
empty hub with just triv running     - OK
empty hub with triv & Smeagol running - OK
Full hub with just triv running - Crash
Full hub with triv & Smeagol running - Crash

so it must be the send to's that are killing the bandwidth surely ??? any ideas

[?Tr??T_????]

Can someone give me the trivia that works perfect???
save lad everything automatically...

Please....

[sander815]

how do i start this script?

it says ""tbstart  but nothing happens

i already changed TriggStart = "" to TriggStart = ! but then i get unexpected symbol near "!"

[?Tr??T_????]

in main type
tbstart
