-=( Trivia what's new )=-
Version 4.3
- Just the RA 2.00 release
Version 4.2
- Added the NOBBS BBS type for the BBS= environment variable. When you
set this variable (BBS=NoBBS) Trivia will play in standalone mode.
No extra files are needed. Use the -L:<Language ID> to select the
used language. (F.e. -L:HOL -L:FRA -L:ENG etc.)
If you don't want to use the Env. variable, you can also use the
-LOCAL parameter. Note that this is only needed when you have NO
BBS on your system. These options are mainly for those who want
to play trivia home, standalone.
- Added the -TRI: parameter. it's used to separate the datafiles from the
program files.
-TRI:C:\TRIVIA\ENGLISH\
let's trivia look for .TRI, .TRS and for the .HOF file in the directory
C:\TRIVIA\ENGLISH. Using this option you can separate the datafiles for
different languages. Note: It also means that every language can has it's
own hall of fame. If you don't use the -TRI parameter, everything is
the same as it was.
- The keyboard buffer is cleared now between question. This means that if you
press a key at the moment the program decides to time-out, the key isn't
used as an answer for the next question.
- Added the ? key as an answer to a question. It just generates a random
answer. Nice for when a player doesn't know..;)
Version 4.1
- Some multilanguage bugs slipped through..
The brackets and the stopkey defined in the languagefile weren't used
everywhere. Solved.
- Due too this it was also possible for trivia to hang the system under the
righy circumstances.
Version 4.0
- This version is converted to my new RA doorwriters toolbox version 3.0b.
(Don't worry, the beta is because I didn't write decent docu yet..)
This means among other things:
- More sysop control
- Multilanguage support and installable colors
- support for QBBS, SBBS and RA!
I didn't add new features appart from what's gained from the new toolbox.
I save a few idea's I have for a possible future release..
- Errors:
* The new versions of my doors recognice the 14400 and 12000 connectstring
* Some trivia files didn't work as they should.. there was a bug (*BLUSH*)
in my conversion program...;( b.t.w. There are no changes in the TRI-File
format, so you can use your old tri files without problems!
- Added TestTri which checks trivia files on correctness. Some ppl wrote
me that not all the trivia files were accepted. Usage:
TestTri [Path to trivia files] (Or TestTri . for current dir)
- Changed the TriConv program a little. It cleans up it's mess now..
- Changed the UserOn support a little. It's now showing the tri-file being
played, and the score until then..
