SuperTrivia Help - updated 10-10-2004

»»» General
SuperTrivia 5.0 is developed from scratch, using knowledge and experience from earlier versions of SuperTriva.
The script is developed in a Windows XP Professional SP2 environment on mIRC 6.16.
Testing is done on MSN groups and in rooms of www.phreik.com.

Version 5 of SuperTrivia makes use of ini files. The reason for this is reducing the use of variables and prevent intervention with other (trivia) scripts.

»»»  Installing
Installing SuperTrivia can be done by loading the main .mrc file (st50.mrc) in remote. You can do this in different ways;
- Mirc Script Editor:  press Altl-R, press Remote tab and use the script with Load... from the menu or with Crtl-L
- Load command: in status window type: load -rs st50.mrc
Click "Yes" when the question "Run initialization commands" pops up. If you click "No" the script won't initialize correct.

»»»  Configuring
The configuration of SuperTrivia is done with the Configure dialog. You can start this with the right mouse menu.

»»»  Running
SuperTrivia can be started with the st start command. This can be done from within the script (/st start) and depending on the permissions it can be started from the room with !st start. The script is stopped with st stop.

»»»  Updates
For future versions: Updates can be downloaded from the SuperTrivia site using SuperTrivia itself. Newer versions will be released with a different filename from the previous script.

»»» Stuff to know
For correct working, SuperTrivia needs to use variables. This variables start with %st. or %st_, so if you have scripts that use variables that start with one of these, SuperTrivia could interfere with that.
When updating, files are read from the SuperTrivia website and written to your local disk. Be aware that when you use this function, you are in fact open for exploits when malicious code is read from my website.
Of course I would never take advantage of this, but maybe this will be noticed by virusscanners or other protection software. Because the files are written as text, it won't be possible to write or replace program files on your disk.
