Your method will make all game stops read as though it was stopped due to the game being idle, even when you stop the game manually with the off command.

Change your patch to look more like this...

Code:

   if {$uh eq "idle" && $hn eq "stop"} {     putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :$t2(script) by $t2(auth) Stopped, because nobody has played in 6 questions."   } else {     putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :$t2(script) by $t2(auth) Stopped."   }

That way the new edited stop message will only be used when the script idle-stops itself.

I had already solved, in a perhaps less professional than yours form, but equally it worked well:

Code:

  if {$t2(qslow)=="0" } {     putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :$t2(script) by $t2(auth) Stopped, because nobody has played in 6 questions."   } else {     putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :$t2(script) by $t2(auth) Stopped."   }

Thanks SpiKe^^, for the excellent support provided.

Custom idle-stop message for BogusTrivia

2016-03-26T22:03:10-04:00

Another thing..
You can put a custom message when it is turned off automatically because nobody has played ?

That could be done, but there is no current setting that does that.
You would have to edit the script code in t-2.tcl

Search for this line in the t-2.tcl file...

Code:

   putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :$t2(script) by $t2(auth) Stopped."

and replace that line with something more like...

Code:

   if {$uh eq "idle" && $hn eq "stop"} {     putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :What you want to say on an idle-stop"   } else {     putquick "PRIVMSG $ch :$t2(script) by $t2(auth) Stopped."   }

Thanks SpiKe^^, I thought it was incompatible to set Idle-stop with on-join auto-start (Off).
For my little knowledge of English, I had misunderstood the following note:
# 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! #

Apologies, solved.

BogusTrivia has a LOT of settings, Please read the entire settings file and set them as you require.

Right below the 2 settings discussed above is the setting you are currently seeking...

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"

As stated in the settings file, setting t2(autostart) to "0" will disable on-join auto-start

Thanks SpiKe^^, works!!.
but.....
Oops... on-join auto-start was activated when I set Idle-stop
You can solve for the game may not start when users join the channels ?

juanamores: BogusTrivia already has settings to do that, it's called idle-stop.

There are 2 settings that can enable idle-stop, in this section of the t-2.settings.tcl file...

Code:

# slow-times or idle-stop #  after this many questions with no one playing the game: ## the times between hints & questions increase to these settings, ## or idle-stop the bogustrivia game. #set t2(sqcnt) "6"     ;# use slow-times or idle-stop after this many questions not played #set t2(qslow) "20"    ;# slow time between hints (6 to 90 seconds) (0 = idle-stop the game) #set t2(pslow) "25"    ;# slow time between questions (6 to 90 seconds) ## Note: if set to less than play-times & more than 0, slow-times will be same as play ## resting-times or idle-stop #  after this many questions with no one playing the game: ## the times between hints & questions increase to these settings, ## or idle-stop the bogustrivia game. #set t2(rqcnt) "15"   ;# use resting-times or idle-stop after this many not played #set t2(rest) "30"    ;# resting time between hints/questions (6 to 120) (0 = idle-stop the game) ## Note: if set to less than slow-times & more than 0, rest-times will be same as slow #

Using the example above,
setting t2(qslow) to "0" would have the game stopping after no one plays for 6 questions
|OR|
setting t2(rest) to "0" would have the game stopping after no one plays for 15 questions.

Dear, SpiKe^^:
You can modify the script so that the bot turns off automatic if no one is playing for space ..... minutes?
