Need ET Trivia for an IRC trivia bot

(Ifurita) #1

Please keep the trivia focused on the game, not mapping or modding. You can see the current incarnation of the trivia bot on #et-trivia on irc.gamesurge.net

Hope my answers are correct, just a couple i could think of.

What does vstr stand for? Variable String
What does cvar stand for? Client Variable
What model of tank is used in the map Fuel Depot? Churchill AVRE Demolition Tank
Which class uses the sniper rifle? Covert Ops (may confuse the hardcore RTCW fans :P)
What is the full name of the map commonly known as Radar? Wurzburg Radar
What does HUD stand for? Heads Up Display
What term is given to the area where your player appears when joining a game from the beginning or when the reinforcement timer has counted to completion? Spawnpoint
What command is used to adjust your mouses movement speed? sensitivity
How many rounds does the MG42 hold? 150
Which class did the Field Ops replace from RTCW? Lieutenant

(SCDS_reyalP) #3

Nope*. :banana:

(one could also use the meanings of the prefixes like cg_ r_ cl_ etc as trivia questions. These are mostly explained here: http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=10047&highlight=cvar)

*console variable. There are server side cvars.

What color are fireteam messages? Yellow
Helmets reduce headshot damage by how much? 20
Which class replaced the Lieutenant from RTCW? Field Ops
Landmines are what weaponbank? 7
Ignoring the SMG, what two soldier weapons can be fired from the prone position? Flamer and MG42
Improved Dexterity (L3 Heavy Weapons) reduces the movement penalty for all heavy weapons with the exception of which one? Flamer

(Ragnar_40k) #5

This one is wrong, w/o lvl 3 (or whilest attacking) the movement speed is slowed down with the factor 0.7. With lvl3 the speed isn’t reduced. So the movement penalty is reduced from 30% to 0% (when you not fire the flamer).
From function PM_CmdScale (file bg_pmove.c):

	if (pm->ps->weapon == WP_FLAMETHROWER) { // trying some different balance for the FT
		if( !(pm->skill[SK_HEAVY_WEAPONS] >= 3) || pm->cmd.buttons & BUTTON_ATTACK )
			scale *= 0.7;
	}

20%, except for garand and k43 fired in scope mode.

I can tell you’ve not done much trivia on IRC Ragnar :stuck_out_tongue:

I already wrote that one, with slightly different wording and the answer the other way round.

(Ragnar_40k) #9

Nope I didnt checked the channel before posting, but I just tried to make the questions interesting and give some background info :wink:

Add: And Tat’s Trivia Bot supports multiple choice questions.

(LegoManser) #10

That’s some good questions Ifurita and the rest of you, but be careful not to make it too technical. Having a trivia where no one can answer the first 5 questions wont be a hit. Not only can they not answer, but they have no chance of finding or understanding the answer aswell.

Q: What was the release date for Enemy Territory? mm/dd/yyyy
A: 5/29/2003 or 05/29/2003

Q: Which map(s) came with the ET test?
A: Fueldump
