Running trivia on your Eggdrop

Most KIRE eggdrops already source a trivia TCL in eggdrop.conf. Trivia is a Tcl script you source, not a KIRE product. Drop the .tcl plus a question pack in scripts/, add a source line, then rehash or restart.

Packs are question files — music, sports, general, Americana. We do not host the packs and we do not bless a particular third-party script as official. You name the file.

Wire it up

# in ~/botdir/scripts/  (example names — use yours)
#   trivia.tcl
#   questions.music
#   questions.sports

In botnick.conf:

source scripts/trivia.tcl

Partyline:

.rehash

If it explodes the partyline, .restart after you fix the source line. First-time bot: short install.

Start and stop rounds from the partyline, not by dumping the question file into the channel. Fun, not flood. Do not paste 20 lines in channel.

AUP and load

Max 2 IRC connections per shell to a given network. Trivia does not get you extra connections and does not get a pass on flood. If the script JOINs a second net, that is your second connection.

Do not want to run the egg yourself? Managed eggdrop.
