TriviaBot

PLEASE NOTE:
Currently Being Rewritten For <Knights of Insomnia> [Mankrik]

Purpose

TriviaBot allows the user to host quiz games for other players.
Spamming it in /say in crowded places or /general is not a good idea,
but Blizzard's spam prevention makes it alot harder to abuse it that way currently.

It's a nice and safe pass-time among consenting adults. 🙂
Used best in the custom channel, a party with friends or to liven up that "dead" guild chat.

If you wish to join in on the development of TriviaBot and join a really nice Horde guild, then allow me to suggest – Knights of Insomnia – [H] [Mankrik]

Feel free to join our Discord for more information on the guild: https://discord.gg/EWB8G3T

Beta

Triviabot is now updated for 7.2.5. As the game has updated numerous times since the last update we are releasing a triviabot beta. Any comments on errors would be greatly appreciated.

Known bugs:

• Invalid channel count output in towns and cities

Usage

• /triviabot or /trivia to bring up it's control panel.
• then you can use the dropdowns to select among different Question Lists and Categories.
• set the output and customize the announce intervals, reporting options etc.

Other Commands

• /trivia help will list other commands.
• !tb help whispered to a game host will list other whisper commands.

Quizzes

With version 2.8.0 and later
TriviaBot no longer contains pre-packaged Quizzes with the main download!

• Quizzes are instead coming in the form of separate Load on Demand addons called Quiz plugins.
• This allows the game to load much faster since Question Lists are not loaded until the Quiz host selects them from the TriviaBot control panel.
• Gives you the option to install only quiz themes and languages that interest you.
• Allows the community to create and share quizzes without having to wait for the main addon to be repackaged.
