		Nerfbendr's Triviabot, v4.0 FAQ!
############################################################################
Luckily, there hasn't been a *LOT* of questions, which means either 
the setting up of the triviabot is easy enough as I had tried t'make it,
'er else nobody's bothered t'try it out at all...hopefully th'first one's
true tho'...hehehe ;)

Anywho, here's solutions to any of th'problems that I've heard of people
encounterin'...hope it solves any prob(s) y'ever have...an' enjoy!
Sincerely,
Nerfbendr! (Nerfbendr@hotmail.com)

Question: "I get a missing bracket or close brace error when I try to start 
	   the Triviabot...how come?"
Answer: Welp, I messed up in v3.0 with a missing square bracket...took me
	almost 2 weeks t'trace through an' locate it...so if you've hit this
	problem then chances are yer usin' v3.0 of th'triviabot...so th'main
	solution here is t'use v4.0...even if y'managed t'get 3.0 t'work,
	there's enough new items contained in 4.0 t'make th'change worth
	yer while!
	(Oddly enough, v3.0 works fine in v1.1.5 on a Windows Eggdrop...)

Question: "When I start up the Triviabot, I get a "Can't locate 'Triviabanks\General.qst'"
	   error...why?"
Answer:	The problem here is simply the triviabot not bein' able t'locate th'default
	trivia bank upon startup...
	Hopefully th'method you used t'unzip th'triviabot created th'internal directories
	contained inside th'archive...however, if not, here's a list of th'directories
	exactly as they should be...(Capitilization counts!), plus what files are in which
	directories: (There should be 13 Directories created in total!)

GenericScoresHTML

HTMLWeeklyScores

TriviaWeeklyScores
TriviaMonthlyScores

Scripts (Contains the Triviabot script!)

As long as the General.qst file is contained inside the TriviaBanks directory this problem
should not appear! 8)

Question: "The Triviabot crashes every now and then for no reason...do you know?"
Answer: This problem happens when the Triviabot finds either a " or a ? character in
	a line of a Trivia Bank...solution is simply to remove all ? characters from
 	your trivia bank (You shouldn't really need them since the Triviabot places them
	at the end of a trivia Question automatically!), and replace all " with ' in
	your bank as well...once this is done this shouldn't happen!

	(This is also mentioned inside the Triviabot script as an extra reminder!)

Question: "can I use my old Trivia bank with your triviabot?"
Answer: as long as the Trivia format is as follows, then yes you can:

	What color is the sky*blue

Also, don't worry about multiple answers in your trivia...the Triviabot ignores everything
after the first answer... 8)

Question: "I like the demo version, how can I get a full version of you triviabot?"
Answer: The full version can be purchased for $15 US (This includes a Trivia Bank of
	5,000 Questions as well!) and payment can be made in the form of either a
	cheque or International Money order to the following Address:

*** NOTE: International Money Order is preferred since a cheque takes about 7 days to clear! ***

Shawn Roles
RR#4 (12173 Loyalist parkway)
Picton, Ontario
K0K 2T0
Canada

Please include your e-mail address with payment that you want the Triviabot to be sent to
upon reception of payment!
(This is optional, but if you'd be so nice as to also include the network an' channel the
 triviabot will be used in for my personal records that would be great...) 8)

As well, I can be reached anytime at Nerfbendr@hotmail.com, or visit #Chat_Central on
Us.Undernet.Org and look for either Nerfbendr or my other half, ScrappyDo!
(The full version of the triviabot is running in #Chat_Central as well...feel free
 to pop in and take a peek at it in action!) 8)

Question: "Do you have any more questions available for your triviabot?"
Answer: Yes, I have a bank of 25,000 different Trivia Questions that I offer for
	$10 US...and in case you're wonderin', the 100 Questions in the Demo are
	different than the 5,000 in the Full Triviabot which are different than
	the 25,000 extra questions...which is 30,100 trivia Questions Total! 8)
	Payment and such are described above if the extra 25,000 Trivia Bank is
	desired...8)

Question: "Are you working on any other projects as well?"
Answer: Yes...mainly other channelgames...here's a quick rundown on what's
	in the works at the moment...hopefully they'll be available soon:

- Acrophobia (Players are given a random Acronym of 3-5 letters and a limited amount
	      of time to give the bot their interpretation of it, then everyone that
	      gave an answer gets to vote on their favorite answer...this version
	      gaves suggested categories for a round, plus gives various bonus
	      scoring for players [+1 for each player that voted for the winning Acro,
	      etc, etc...] The engine is complete...but I still need to add some scoring
	      procedures and other code before it's released!)

- Battle Arena (Play is similar to that of "Murder Hotel" off of older BBS systems!
		Basically it's a multiplayer find-a-weapon-and-kill-everyone-else
		type of game...real-time play of course...the arena is created and
		the movement code for single play is complete so far!)

- Chaos (Players are given a category for the round and have a limited amount of time
	 to guess appropriate answers that deal with the topic...the engine is complete,
	 but, like Acrophobia, scoring procedures and other code need to be added!)

- Clue (Online Clue uses the Battle Arena gaming engine...you along with other
	users are wandering a mansion questioning computer-controlled characters
	that move about the mansion as well...one of them is the killer...your goal
	is to deduce who the killer is before anyone else does...however, the killer
	is killing off anyone that crosses their path...both computer-controlled *AND*
	other players trying to solve the game...timed games will be hopefully possible,
	as will the number of guesses able to be made by a player during a game...one
	guess is suggested!)  [This project won't begin until battle Arena is done!]

- Madlibs (Using a variation of the Acrophobia engine, players are given part of a sentence
	   and must finish it and vote on given answers similar to Acrophobia...this engine
	   is complete, but also needs in-depth scoring procedures and other code to be
	   added!)

- Majority Rules (Players are faced with a question with possibe answers...people give
		  the bot their answers, with the majority of people gaining points
		  in an effort to be the first to reach a set point value!)

- TriBot (Players are given three letters and a limited amount of time to type in
	  as many words as they can think of that contain those letters [In any order]
	  before time runs out...each word counts as 1 point [This will be configurable
	  for giving bonus points for longer words]...the gaming engine is complete,
	  but needs in-depth scoring procedures and other code still...the TriBot
	  has a vocabulary of 175,000 words!)

- UnoBot (The card game of Uno as an online game...with 3-8 players...even computer-
	  controlled opponents if you're lonely...this project is on paper only so far...)
