• Description
  
  This is a slightly extended Quiz plugin like this one was for AMXModX from Deviance, but for Sourcemod.
  
  When this plugin is enabled, the server will ask questions to all or only to dead players questions from a questions-file.
  If a user answers right (via chat), he gets a money reward.
  
  As one feature i have added multiple choice mode. If it is enabled, questions with more then one answer in questions-file will be shown as a select-menu.
  
  If you have some questions, bugs or feature-requests pm me or post here.

• Configuration
  
  Server cvars:
  • sm_quiz_dead_only Default: 1

    1 - Quiz enabled for all players
    0 - Quiz enabled only for dead players
    

  • sm_quiz_reward Default: 800

    Reward for a correct answered question.
    

  • sm_quiz_timelimit Default: 30

    Timelimit of a question in sec.
    

  • sm_quiz_show_answer Default: 0

    Show the correct answer after time is up.

  • sm_quiz_displaymode Default: panel
    

    Display position of Quiz. Valid values: chat,panel,hint
    (see attached picture)
    

  • sm_quiz_multiplechoice Default: 1

    0 - disables multiple answers, only first one is correct.
    1 - enables multiple-choice mode if more than one answer is available in question-file. First answer is the correct one (works only with 'sm_quiz_displaymode=panel'!).
    2 - no multiple choice mode, but all answers are correct.
    

  • sm_quiz_file Default: configs/quiz_file.ini
    

    Quiz-file to use.

  • sm_quiz_tag Default: <empty>
    

    If this cvar is set to a non-empty string value, given answers must have this string at the leading position. Wrong answers will no longer be shown to chat then (reduces chat activity). Example: "/quiz".
    

• Quiz-File
  
  The Quizfile should be placed to direction set in sm_quiz_file (Def. <sourcemod_dir>/configs/quiz_file.ini)
  
  The format of one line of this file is:
  
  "Question" "Answer" "Answer2" "Answer3" "Answer4"
  
  The first answer is always the correct one, others are optional (used depending on value of sm_quiz_multiplechoice). Currently max. 4 answers per question are imported.
  Unfortunately i do not have a real questions-file i can provide, but you can search for question-files of IRC-bots or use the one from Deviance.

• Chat-Commands
  
  You can use the following chat-commands in game:
  • /question or !question

    Shows the last question again (!question to all, /question silent)
    

  • /quiz or !quiz

    Enable/Disable quiz (!quiz to all, /quiz silent)
    
    

  • <Tag> <answer>

    Answer to current question (if no multiple-choice).
    Tag is only needed if sm_quiz_tag is set.
    

Have fun with that!

ROFEL....nice plugin ^^

[Zervun]

I couldn't figure out where the files go - I put the .smx in sourcemod/plugins quiz.sp in sourcemode/scripts and quiz_file.ini in /sourcemode/configs

and it doesn't seem to work

[~Gh05t~]

hmmm... it should work. It is running on my Linux-Server for some days now, ive tested an earlier version some time ago. Do you have error messages on server log? Did you changed the configuration? Remember: by default the quiz is only for dead players...
When the server is running, try to reload the plugin. It shoud return a message with number of loaded questions. If not, something is wrong with your questions file. I think 'sourcemode' is a typo, but the rest should be all right.
Oh, do you run a windows server? Iam not shure about the charset of questionsfile... its utf8.
Would be nice to hear some more info from you, maybe you can PM me for some debuggin...

Zervun: Did you put the translation file (plugin.quiz.txt) into the correct folder? You didn't mention it in your post.

Also, you don't need to get the source (.sp) file. It's only there to look at the code.

[Zervun]

That might be where I went wrong

So put the .smx in sourcemod/plugins
put the translation file in sourcemod/translations
and put the quiz file in sourcemod/configs/

and put all the sm stuff in sourcmod.cfg

I have the .smx in sourcemod/plugins/quiz.smx
I have the translation file in sourcemod/translations/plugin.quiz.txt
I have the quiz_file.ini in sourcemod/configs/quizfile.ini

and in cfg/sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg I have

sm_quiz_dead_only 1
sm_quiz_reward 800
sm_quiz_timelimit 30
sm_quiz_show_answer 1

If you have quizfile in sourcemod/configs/quizfile.ini you should set sm_quiz_file to 'configs/quizfile.ini'

Maybe i should add install instructions...

[Zervun]

sorry I just missed the _ in the typing it is quiz_file in both places

[symphyle]

Hi!

Could you add a cvar: sm_quiz_enable

It could activate the plug in the hole!

Thanks for your work
