About TriviaBot
Purpose
The quiz addon we love is back!
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. :-)
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 later
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.

I BEG YOU TO UPDATE QUESTION MAKER OR SOMEthing! It causes other add-ons to stop working when I force loading out of date add-ons =l
the french version still not available?
can i have a previous version?
I've got a Problem with this AddOn... I installed the main AddOn and three plugins to have enough questions at hand but the questions are greyed out within the addon... When I try to start, it say's I have selected no list.
Frustrating.
It's because you have to force loading out of date add-ons, but beware, you will risk the functionality of other up to date add-ons when you force the triviaquestions or questionmaker to load.
how do i give hints?
In this version of addon, you can use hints only by typing "!hints" to triviabot owner via private message.
But I'm already made a new version of this addon with auto-generated hints, which was sended to Dridzt more than 2 moth ago...
You can find TB 2.8.4 if you will google "TriviaBot 2.8.4"...

HELP ME WHERE IS THE QUESTION LIST OMFG!
alright this is REALLLLLLY annoying... i put triviabot in addons.. put a questionslist in questions.. i go in wow.. check the addons box and when the categories it says "No questions list found!" when clear i have a questionslist in.. and im like wtf!! so i go online and there is NO HELP anywhere not even in the descriptions or comments.... so i have to make a comment asking this
Quick start guide:
How to install TriviaBot Plugin: Download TriviaBot plugin; extract it; move "TriviaBot" dir into your "World of WarCraft\Interface\AddOns" folder; now, if all be ok, you will see "TriviaBot" addon at the game WoW-> addons list.
How to install TriviaBot Quiz Plugin (Questions): Download any of "Quiz Plug-ins" (see descriptions of the TriviaBot on this page), extract it; move this dir into your "World of WarCraft\Interface\AddOns" folder.
Now you can run the "TriviaBot".
_
p.s. if you want to test rc of triviaBot 2.8.4 before it will be approved by Dridzt - wisp me.
They looks like: "1 word, 5 chars: H _ n _ s" (answer is "Hints").
When it will be released - I don't know.
But if you want to test it - wisp me.
