Just woundered if anyone here had a QUIZZ script without hints and tips...

Hints can be disabled if you want it that way. Just set the relevant setting. New (rewritten from the ground up) version is coming along nicely now.

Yes, with that version the script is set up for typing !start for each and every question, I wrote this script initially for a channel of people who did not want a constantly running script but wanted to be able to have a laugh with a quiz when they wanted.

The new version I am working on (slowly) will have a lot of added extras, although as I say my primary reason for writing this script was purely for my friends, it has proved a hugely popular script (if a bit basic) and I constantly get emails for updates (sometimes I wish I'd never released it ).

Hopefully the new version will have a !start command (still working on that) that will ask that number of questions without needing to be re-triggered.

I've also started working on a seperate "Team Version" plug in that will need to be loaded seperately as well as Trivia 2000, but this is a LONG way off completion.

I also hope to have the !score commands fully working soon and am working on a !hint system to go along with the new multi word answers.

All of these I'm hoping to make optional switches, although its proving a tad hard to put this all together, so this wont be out for some time. (Dont hold your breath )

The easiest way would be to simply rename your own files accordingly and then change this line:

Code:

putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :Current categories available are:\0034 Geography, Entertainment, History, Art & Literature, Science & Nature, Sport & Leisure"

to show the categories you're using.

You'll then need to change the binds and unbinds throughout the script to reference the correct procedures (I wouldnt recommend changing the names of the procs, just the bind that triggers them)

Code:

bind pub -|- geography set_geogbind pub -|- entertainment set_entbind pub -|- history set_hisbind pub -|- art set_artbind pub -|- science set_scibind pub -|- sport set_sport

and all events of this to the same trigger words:

Code:

unbind pub -|- geography set_geogunbind pub -|- entertainment set_entunbind pub -|- history set_hisunbind pub -|- art set_artunbind pub -|- science set_sciunbind pub -|- sport set_sport

I wouldnt recommend you start changing all the variables in the script, but this will do what you want it to without doing that *I THINK* (I havent looked at the ins and outs of doing this properly).

The question files should all be in the format of answer:question and in the current version the script will only pick up ONE WORD answers. (The new version will be a tad more flexible and is taking shape slowly).

Hope this helps.

1. Take any quiz script you enjoy.
2. Find the proc that actually prints out the hint. It will probably have an obvious name like, proc give_hint { ... } { ... }
3. Don't delete it! You might screw something up. Instead, just add "return 0" as the first line of the proc.
4. If you don't find a single proc that gives the hint, just go through the code and find the actual putserv "privmsg $chan :Your hint is: $blah", and put a # in front of it (turns it into a comment).
5. Would you be willing to pay $1 or so for this to be done for you? I'm thinking about making a tip jar thing for this forum if people would consider using it hehe.
