  Triviabot not recommend the addon Triviabotanswers. It helps to destroy the party spirit. The ability to join together in moments and play fair question game. Moreover, it is "Cheating"!

  We are not clear about the work, but we give a warning that one must use Triviabot without cheating and fraud! Use your brain or WoWPedia

  Cheers Triviabot

  Triviabot project manager.

  kannst ja nochmal drüber schauen ob dir zu manchen Sätzen etwas besseres einfällt, klingt manchmal etwas holprig

  I'm in the process of waiting for my upload of 200 questions to be approved. I'll post a link when it's done.

  Great work & THX @Nihlo.

  I got contacted by the developer of WoWQuiz (TriviaBot German) and they will be updating the deDE localization and providing their quizzes in the new plugin format.

  When you see this Ziz, please update the project properties to mark it as deDE localized as well (apart from French).
  I cannot get to those project settings myself.

  I'd also appreciate if we get the Curse ticket tracker back instead of that custom non-functional page.

  Regards, Dridzt.

  TriviaBot 2.8.0 uploaded.
  This is probably going to be the last update to the core addon for a while by me.
  (especially after Cataclysm hits, I'll be busy with the game itself :P)

  Important Changes:

  • Questions are now separate Load on Demand addons.
    You need at least one installed to be able to host a game.
    The old TriviaQuestions1 and TriviaQuestions7 have been uploaded to get you started.
    Hopefully alot more new quizzes will become available.
  • There is no longer a need for "TriviaBot Française" or "WoWBot" (TriviaBot German) etc as separate addons.
    Use instead the Localization section to submit the names of the interface elements and addon chat prints.
    The language file will be included in a minor update and you can use the latest features of TriviaBot in your language immediately instead of doing all that work again for every TriviaBot update.
    
  • This should help other language users to focus on creating quizzes in their language,
    that can be used with TriviaBot as plugins instead of spending time updating the addon itself.

  TriviaBot\Questions\ no longer contains the question files.
  Instead it contains a template Quiz plugin addon and a README_EN.txt file with instructions
  on how to make your own quiz plugin.
  I have kept the actual question file format the same so any old files you have been working on (fixing typos, adding questions etc)
  can still be used, they just have to be included in a quiz addon.
  

  The actual question lists can still be created in any of a number of ways:

  1. editing with a text editor based on the old templates. (old/traditional way)
  2. using the optional TriviaBot_QuestionMaker to do it in-game.
  3. using an online webform (if Ziz & co create one).

  The resulting Question file will then need to be included in a plugin and posted for using in TriviaBot.

  If you make or correct an old TriviaQuestionsX.lua file
  and are having trouble following the instructions how to turn it into an addon
  zip it up and post it as a comment here or attach it to a ticket along with
  the name you would like for your plugin and the author name
  and we will make it a quiz plug-in for you.

  I will upload a v2.6.1 just to get something out that works for 4.0.1 and Cataclysm shortly.

  Note: Only 2 questions sets are included in this package.
  If someone decides to copy 2.5.x compatible question files from earlier releases there
  is 1 line of code they need to add to the top of the file (eg. TriviaQuestions4.lua)

  local _,TriviaBot_Questions = ...
  

  If that is not the first line in the question file questions from previous 2.5.x releases will not work, you have been warned.

  I am working on v2.7 with a major new feature but it is not yet ready for public.
  So stay tuned.

  If any of the current managers can re-add me as an active developer,
  I've been sitting on a working TriviaBot for 4.0.1 and Cataclysm
  (the main addon, not the question files) since late October.

  I've also fixed a few long-standing bugs and made some improvements
  - WoW 4.0.x API changes.
  - fix taking over '1' for custom channel.
  - reverting to default channel despite the last channel is valid.
  - questions answering themselves when the question text contains the answer.
  - support for party leader.
  - make it a little harder for malicious addons to break it.
  - make it more intelligent in accepting answers.

  Regards,
  Dridzt.

  PS. I might also have a little surprise for new quiz submitters ;)
