Thanks go to people from IRC that created those packs for different IRC Trivia bots. I just converted them to a format that Metis can handle.

I made a new idiot-proof Trivia bot for RoboMX that uses the Metis trivia packs but works 'out of the box' with no need for any configuration. Check my page for it :-P

It has also some new game features that Metis does not offer - and it uses a lot less memory as the new trivia bot only indexes the questions rather them loading them ALL into memory as Metis does...

Hope you enjoy it. I surely enjoyed writing it (took about 30 minutes :-))

This seems to be the program referred to :D

http://mxcontrol.sourceforge.net/module ... it&lid=100

And the sourcecode is available from here .

I wrote a small and very easy to use Trivia bot for RoboMX. It can use the Trivia packs from Metis so there are plenty of questions available, but unlike Metis every idiot can use it ;)

This is very easy to use , Just unzip Trivia.rEx and Trivia.ini to your RoboMX Add-Ons folder. You can use the Trivia packages from Metis with this bot. All you need to do is to put the xml files into the add-ons folder. No configuration required. Really 'Plug-And-Play' ;-)

The Trivia bot features roundbased games, advanced rankings, awards for winning streaks and some more. If you are not a complete computer dummy you can adjust the bot a bit using the Trivia.ini file ;)

Enjoy :-)
This plugin should be very popular with those who like the trivia packs but not setting them up , cheers Bender 8)
