Latest Version
v1.1.0
Added option to randomize question/answers
Added numOfQuestions variable to limit number of questions in event
I use this on my Pixelmon 3.5.1 Cauldron 1.7.10 server with Plugman and my players love it! I have my console set to broadcast 1 trivia question once an hour and my players go competition-nuts. I changed the word to broadcast, "Who's that Pokemon?" and give Pokemon questions.
I am using 1.8 spigot and this plug works great, however, when you do /tm reload it does not reload the config file. You have to restart the server completely for it to reload the new config.
I foudn a way around this but installing a plugin called plugman, which allows you to reload the entire plugin. and this loads the config.
Yes,
Please please update this! And adding word scramble would be awesome!
Im working on one for our server, but yours looks like it would be perfect.
Thank you!!

Hi beetuna, it is actually open source, I just forgot to post the repo. I do, however, need to make sure it's up to date, which I will do a bit later.

I'd be happy to add you as a contributor if you'd like to help maintain and improve it. I may go through and update my plugins here soon as I look to brush up on java a bit.

I'd love to use this plugin. Only problem is, it's not letting me reload the config :/ No clue why, but i'd have to guess you, Frozath, would have a general idea why lol. I'm using spaces and not tabs and all of that. Continues to tell me this and a shit load of more java errors

I like this plugin. It's nice and simple. Wish it was open source... I'd fork it with a few new things. I'd like to have a "word scramble" game. It would take a random word from a list of words, scramble it, and the first person to unscramble it would get a point. Categories would be good.. colors, countries, household objects, or whatever.
If you think there's a chance of opening this up, or, implementing new features, please let us know!
do you think you could possibly add support for chat channels? specifically Simple Chat Channels. I want to use this plugin in my server but it would be way too spammy for general chat
@ManBeastPigDev
Just tested on 1.6.4 with no issues. Post your config and any errors.
Actually this doesn't work i just tried it. It runs but it asks the same questions over and over. shame as its a good idea.
If it does a way of adding questions in the command line would be nice.
does this still work?
Anyone know a good place to get additional trivia questions that will work? Looking for general knowledge questions ... i.e. trivial pursuit type stuff
@lcplcy
Hope you figured out the issue in time. I've been way too busy to work on the plugin, but it should be working okay. If you are still having problems, let me know. Also, your pastebin is invalid.
Hi there, I have a problem with the plugin on BukkitForge-1.5.1-292. Using this for a class of kids tomorrow as part of a summer camp.
Here's my config.yml. It just won't load the questions.

Money reward isnt working. How do you disable it giving you blocks I want it to reward only money. I use iConomy, and have installed vault which is working according to the plugin (although i have not set it up in any fashion because the plugin page doesnt mention needing to edit anything invault).
Please update plugin as necessary.
Also: I want just ONE question to be randomly asked every ten minutes, and the right answer there ends the quiz session. Please advise how i should set that up in the config file?
@krisdestruction
Do you have Vault? Does it say Vault is loaded in the startup log?
How do you use moneyReward? I set it to 10 and it still gives the item reward only :/
thanks :)
Update soon.
Edit: Latest version still works up to 1.4.6R0.3
