Trivia Bot
Client Version: 5.0.4
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. 🙂Â
Used best in the custom channel, a party with friends or to liven up that “dead” guild chat.
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 laterÂ
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.
