Hope to get some advice on this problem.

I have installed the Bogustrivia as per instructions provided. The bot loads into channel. How ever when i type !Qstart (changed from .t2) to start the bot i get the message "BogusTrivia: No questions loaded."

I have tried added some that have been provided by typing

/msg (botnick) .add

however nothing happens just sits there.

Can anybody problem some advice on this. I have reinstalled a complete fresh copy.

Thanks Digs

While you wait for Spike himself to see your post, here's something to check:


Log into your bot's partyline.
Do: .channel #channelname
where #channelname is a channel that you are currently in, with the bot.
You'll get a list of everyone in the channel.
Examine your line. Does the bot recognize you as owner? If it does, it will display your handle in the Handle column, and there will be an N on your line.

Next, see t-2.settings.tcl
Find this line:
set t2(mflag) "m|m" ;# flags for /msg commands (.add .mix) #

In that example, you'd need to have the m flag.
Do: .whois <your_handle>
to see what your current flags are.


Lastly:

Willyw thank you so much for replying to my issue.

I have done the checks you have suggested.

Yes i have

set t2(mflag) "m|m" ;# flags for /msg commands (.add .mix) #

and do have a m in my flag on whois

I am at a loss right now. Going to try another shell to see if that will help me.

Thank again.

Finally worked out what i "messed up" on.

I changed the start from .t2 !Qstart, however i didn't follow the guide completely missed this.

# "!" = change all . prefixes to ! (or any other character) #

Working great now. Thank you for the support.
