Sure can't, that's not the way the script works.
The script uses a mixer command & expects you to have enough questions to run a trivia game.
That's why the script comes with 20,000+ questions included,
so the mixer will work and the questions won't loop around in less than a day of playing.

It's not much of a game with less than 3500 total questions, players will memorize them all in days.
Randomizing their order won't fix the fact you don't have enough questions.
Write and add more questions:)

This is the line of code that is triggering that error, it's in the bogus commands file....

Code:

     if {$t2(-qtotal)>"3499"} {  lappend t2(_td) ques  } else {  incr t2(_er)  }

You could try changing the minimum number of questions required: "3499"
to some lesser amount, though I'm sure it won't mix anything less than 2000 questions.
Note: Be sure to make a backup of your questions before trying this, bad things could happen to the database:)

Thank you for ur help.

Ive already tried this, and i got:

Code:

Mix Disabled. Requires a larger database.The .mix command currently requires a minimum of 3500 questions to function.

So i cant mix it=(

Run the BogusTrivia mixer occasionally, and all the questions will be in a new random order.
The fact that the script then numbers them in the order read, doesn't mean they aren't in a new random order.
Every time you do a .mix, the questions Are in a Different Random Order!

Try turning off the question numbering display if you don't want to see the script number the questions in the order read.

Code:

set t2(shonum) "0"     ;# show the question number ?? (1=yes | 0=no) #

Sure enough, after a mix, the questions Are in a New Random Order:)

The BogusTrivia mixer is run by private message command with your trivia bot...

Example:

/msg botnick .mix

Note: Replace "botnick" with the actual nick of your trivia bot.
The BogusTrivia mixer isn't all that efficient, so you may want to do the .mix command several times,
Waiting a few seconds between each .mix command.

Note: The default permissions for using the .mix command are set to: m|m
You can change these flags to any other flags that may work for you...

Code:

set t2(mflag) "m|m"   ;# flags for /msg commands  (.add .mix) #

I hope this info helps you.

Well there is something up with that shell, and I'm done guessing what that might be:) Use another shell, as bogus runs fine everywhere else.

I changed the TCL version into 8.5 in the shell but still doesn't solve the problem.

My guess is that BogusTrivia will not run without error with tcl 8.6
Not running the tcl 8.6 so I have no way to work out the fixes yet.

Tried that solution and the bot crashed with this error message:

I restarted the bot from the shell and it is now works fine with the greet message. Meaning that my first problem is solved. Thank you Spike^^.

However, that doesn't solve my second problem. Is there any solution for my second problem with the ad display?

try this for me please. find this in the settings file...

Code:

# on-join auto-start # # automaticly start bogustrivia when someone joins the channel ??  (0 = no) # # Note:  for this to function, Idle-stop Must Be Turned ON!  # # Note:  using the public off command overrides auto-start!  # #        use the public on command to reactivate auto-start. # # Note:  auto-start only triggers if bogus was idle-stopped. # # 1 = silently start game  |  2 = say public  |  3 = say channel notice # #  see below:  Advanced On-Join Auto-Start Settings # set t2(autostart) "2"

change that setting to: set t2(autostart) "0"
and see if it helps on that shell

OK, we need to find out more information on the shell that is giving the problems. I would like to know the operating system the shell is running and the tcl library version too. Is that a free shell? Maybe any other shell related info you may be able to gather.

I'm very interrested in where your issues with bogus are coming from, we will try to get to the bottom of this:)

I checked through the bot's partyline and it said that the shell is running on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. About the TCL library, I selected TCL8.6 in the shell. Does this info help?

The rest of the lines related to the errors from the partyline.

I still don't know where to find those error except in partyline. Now I feel stupid. x__x

I would try with the default settings file unedited except for the channel.
See if it will run like that, so far you're the only one with such errors and I don't know where it may be coming from.

Have we killed the bot and start it fresh to clear everything from memory

Did that (more than once, in fact) but the errors are still there.

Do you have other tcl scripts loaded on the same bot?

Nope.

Do you have player stats or has no one played yet?

Yes but I don't use any web stats.

EDIT: Spike^^, I've tested your script in other shell and it worked well. Now my suspicion has become true, there must be a problem with my shell or setting. >__>
