Trivia Tricks

New Features & Fixes

• The Update menu for updating Workshop items no longer defaults to "Public" visibility. It now defaults to the current visibility of the pack being updated.
  
• It is no longer necessary to choose an image when updating a Workshop item, instead you can keep your existing image!
  
• Fixed a bug where the Workshop question-picking algorithm for selecting never-before-seen questions was not taking into account the questions that clients had seen, and would instead base its decision-making on the host's question history only.
  
• Fixed a bug where, when uploading or updating a Workshop item, file paths containing letters with accents or non-English alphabet characters would cause a "Folder could not be found" error.
  
• Fixed a bug where, when uploading or updating a Workshop item, letters with accents or non-English alphabet characters in the "Title", "Description" and “Update Notes” boxes would become question marks when uploaded.
  
• Fixed a bug where, if a Workshop pack title contained letters with accents or non-English alphabet characters, those letters would be shown as question marks in the Categories menu.
  
• Fixed a bug where, in the Categories menu when using gamepad, pressing left/right at the start/end of the first row of Workshop categories would focus an unexpected item.
  
• Fixed a bug where long Workshop names would be pushed out of UI elements like the Question/Answer UI, TV Screen, Category Screen and Update menus. The text will now resize properly.
  
• In addition, there is now character truncation above 30 characters on the display text for Workshop names in space-restricted areas such as the Categories menu. During gameplay the full name will still be shown!
  
• Fixed a bug where pressing the A button on a gamepad would make a sound when downloading Workshop items in the lobby, despite it not doing anything.
  
• We've noticed that sometimes people forget to remove the "3-Tricks" credit from the Example Workshop Pack when creating their own packs, so a credit of "3-Tricks" will no longer display in-game. We don't want to take credit for something we didn't make!!
  

Known Issues

• We are aware of issues where the Workshop Create/Update will sometimes fail and needs to be retried. We're looking at methods to increase the reliability of these actions.
  
• We are aware of an issue where client and host category menu 'allowed' numbers become desynced if the host is subscribed to Workshop packs clients cannot see.
  
• We are investigating if it will be possible to give more useful feedback if the host tries to play with a Workshop Pack that not all clients can see.
  

New Features & Fixes

• In response to player feedback about the time it takes to deselect the standard categories, we’ve added a new button that turns off every category (Including Workshop).
  
• The "Friends Only" tick-box in the Create & Update menus has been replaced with a new selector that allows for three options; “Public”, “Friends Only” and “Hidden”.
  
• Workshop packs that have already been downloaded to the player's machine will no longer be redownloaded every time they are used, significantly speeding up game start time.
  
• In addition, Trivia Tricks has less of a wait between downloading each Workshop file, which will also improve the speed of the download process.
  
• While being asked a question from the Workshop, the UI will display the name of the Workshop category as it is titled on the Workshop rather than the name of the csv file.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Workshop Update Pack “visibility” setting did not work, and was instead using the visibility setting set of the last uploaded Workshop pack.
  
• Potentially mitigated a crash that could be caused by joining multiple lobbies that had been playing with Workshop packs within the same game session.
  
• Fixed a bug where players had to click twice to use the textboxes in the Create & Update menus.
  
• Fixed a bug where the player's caret would move to the end of the textbox if they tried to type in the middle of the text. This fix applies to all textboxes in the game.
  
• Fixed Mr Tricks' thinking sound ignoring the players volume settings.
  

Fixes Resolved In a Previous Beta Release

• Fixed an issue where, after subscribing to five or more Workshop Categories, a random Workshop Item would be missing in the categories menu.
  
• Added a validation check so exact copies of the Example Workshop pack cannot be uploaded.
  
• Fixed an issue where Trivia Tricks would save the player's game after a Workshop question was asked, instead of at the end of the round.
  

Known Issues

• We are investigating reports that Workshop questions sometimes repeat between game sessions.
  
• We are investigating if it will be possible to give more useful feedback if the host tries to play with a Workshop Pack that not all clients can see.
  

• Replaced the checkbox to create a 'Hidden' Question Pack to instead mark the Question Pack as 'Friends Only', as 'Hidden' packs can only be played by the individual who uploaded it.
  
  
  
  • In a future update we will reintroduce the 'Hidden' option, alongside adding the option to upload your pack as 'Unlisted'.
    
• Fixed an issue where, after subscribing to five or more Workshop Categories, a random Workshop Item would be missing in the categories menu.

HOW TO JOIN

1. In the Steam Library view, right click ‘Trivia Tricks’
   
2. Click ‘Properties’
   
3. Click ‘betas’ in the left-hand panel
   
4. Change the dropdown to ‘workshop_beta’
   
5. Wait for the small download to finish
   
6. You’re ready!
   

Create Question Packs on any subject matter you can think of! Preview your creations in Trivia Tricks, and upload them when you’re happy. Get started with creating packs using our official Steam Guide.

Share your questions with Steam Workshop. You could release a pop-culture pack to the whole world, or make something more personal and keep it private among your friends.

Play seamlessly with default and Workshop categories, with only the lobby host needing to subscribe. Mix and match with Trivia Tricks’ default categories, or make the entire quiz yours.

The following changes are included for all players:

• Twitch characters can now vote whether or not they want to take part in the Chance Round! Previously they were forced to always join.
  
• All your viewers need to do is send "Y" if they want to join and "N" if they want to skip!
  
• Each viewer can only vote once, and majority wins!
  
• The voting results of each Twitch chat can be seen on the bottom of the screen throughout the duration of the voting time.
  
• If the votes are equal, then that Twitch character has a 50% chance of joining.
  
• When playing with Twitch, the Chance Round voting section will take 25 seconds to accommodate for streamer lag.
  

• You can now play with just one category when playing in Standard Trivia!
  
• If you turn off all of the categories before playing a game, a single random category will be turned on. Pot luck!
  
• This doesn't apply to Co-Op Vs Boss Mode, which retains restrictions on category amounts for balance purposes.
  

• When in the Server Menu, normal player lobbies will show their categories as being "Standard". beta participants will display their categories as "Workshop".
  
• You may only join a Standard lobby if you do not opt into the beta. An error message has been added to inform the player of this.
  
• You also cannot join a Standard lobby when participating in the beta. An error message has been added to inform the player of this.
  
• All bosses (Excluding Negative) have been given a small accuracy buff to account for balance changes made in the last update.
  
• The chance of King spawning a 1/2 Chance Round ball has been halved to make him more 'fair' as King is generally first boss that players face.
  
• Previously, when playing against Dash and Sakura and not turning any extra categories on, Trivia Tricks would alternative between the two enabled categories every question. Now, specifically when playing with just two categories, it’s possible for the same category to be picked multiple times in a row.
  
• The non-beta Workshop Menu buttons for “Create”, “Update”, and “Get More Categories” will now link users to these patch notes so they know to join the beta!
  

• Fixed some typos and cleaned up the wording on a variety of questions. Thanks to all of you who took the time to report these to us directly!
  
• Added even more questions across all categories, many suggested by the Discord community! Thank you to everyone who has suggested questions so far!
  

• Fixed a bug where, if someone disconnected specifically as a result of them losing internet connection, the lobby would become unjoinable for all players.
  
• Fixed a crash when trying to “Preview” a Workshop pack that had an empty row.
  
• Fixed a bug where, when checking if Workshop packs were valid, duplicate unique IDs were not being detected.
  

The following changes apply to the Workshop Beta branch of Trivia Tricks:

• You can play with Steam Workshop in both online and offline modes!
  
• You can play with both Standard and Workshop categories, and enable a maximum of 20 categories!
  
• When everyone readies up, the Workshop categories to play with are automatically downloaded by each player in the lobby.
  
• The Categories menu will show the categories that the host has subscribed to! Any clients who join the lobby can see what the host is subscribed to in their own Category menu as well.
  
• You can click the new "Add more Categories" button to take you to the Steam Workshop page, where you can subscribe to more!
  
• As per the standard categories, you will not be asked the same Workshop question more than once per lobby unless you have been asked all of the questions in that pack.
  
• As per the standard categories, of the Workshop packs that have been chosen to be played, Trivia Tricks will ask the questions that everyone in the lobby has seen the least. Workshop questions that you have seen are recorded in a "WorkshopQuestionCache.sav" file in the Trivia Tricks save folder.
  
• If an error occurs during download, all players are informed of the Workshop category that caused the problem so that you can choose to untick the category or try again.
  

• When you access the Workshop Menu ("Manage Workshop" on the Main Menu), you will see that the "Create", "Update" and "Download More Categories" buttons are now active!
  
• The "Create" button takes you to the Create Menu, where you can upload Workshop categories.
  
• The "Update" button takes you to the Update Menu, where you can release updates to your existing Workshop packs.
  
• The "Download More Categories" button takes you to the Trivia Tricks Workshop page to subscribe to any categories you’re interested in.
  

• In this menu you can upload a category to the Steam Workshop!
  
• "Select File" lets you choose a Workshop file to upload.
  
• "Select Image" lets you choose the image that will be used on the Workshop page, AND inside Trivia Tricks itself to represent your category. If you’d like to include any additional screenshots they can be uploaded from your category's Workshop page.
  
• "Category Title" - this is what your category will be called on the Steam Workshop and inside Trivia Tricks in the categories menu.
  
• "Item Description" - this is a description on what your category features. This information will not be displayed inside Trivia Tricks itself, but will show on your Workshop page.
  
• "Hidden" - this tickbox allows you to choose the visibility of your Workshop pack. Unticked means it is public, while ticked means that it is hidden from all users.
  
• Please note that you must agree to the Steam Workshop's terms of service before being allowed to upload a Workshop Item. Click the link at the bottom of the menu to accept these terms.
  

• You can update a category that you've already uploaded to the Workshop from this menu!
  
• Most of the fields here are the same as the "Create" menu and behave in the same way!
  
• The Update menu has one extra field called "Update Notes" - here you can write what you changed in this update and users will see those as patch notes.
  

• The dev team at Trivia Tricks have uploaded some small categories to play with, and we can’t wait to see what you create!
  

• This update sees the debut of our newest boss, the #1 idol Sakura, who specializes in Anime and Video Games!
  
• Sakura is similar to Dash as you can add two of your best categories to help you out, but Anime and Video Games cannot be turned off! Of course, you could try to take her down with just your Anime and Video Games knowledge (but good luck with that)!
  
• Some of Sakura's idol-themed cosmetics can be bought in the Character Creator! Purchase the “Idol Eyes”, “Cartoony” mouth, “Idol Dress” and “Idol Bow” with your hard-earned TriviaBucks!
  
• Beating Sakura will unlock the “Idol Hair” in the character creator, alongside a new achievement!
  
• With the release of Sakura, all of Trivia Tricks' categories are covered by specialized bosses! I wonder what the next boss challenge will be?
  

• The difficulty of the AI characters in Standard games has been massively rebalanced!
  
• At the start of a game AI characters are now internally allocated Easy, Medium and Hard difficulties proportional to the number of AI in the game.
  
• Our testing shows that the characters assigned ‘Hard’ perform closest to pre-patch difficulty, meaning games against 7 AI are much more fair.
  
• Each AI character has categories that they're good and bad at, start speculating who knows what!
  
• AI characters now have the same reverse-rubber-banding system that was introduced to bosses to prevent AI characters from running away with unreasonably high scores.
  
• AI characters now have greater variety in how fast they can answer, meaning they will not always get speed bonuses.
  
• Bosses will now apply the reverse-rubber-banding system when they are asked about their “best categories”. Ganymede's difficulty will now be more comparable to the difficulty of Nigel and Robin due to his proficiency in Math.
  
• The accuracy boost that boss characters receive from being asked their "best category" has been reduced. Dash has been rebalanced so he is best at Sports and Geography and worse at other categories (Similar to Sakura).
  

• The Speed Bonus has been updated - in order to achieve this bonus you must now answer within the first 8 seconds of a question.
  
• While the Speed Bonus was originally supposed to be achieved by answering within 6 seconds certain question timers were altering this calculation. This bug has now been fixed and the Speed Bonus is now the same across all timers.
  
• Standard AI characters and Boss AI characters are now much less likely to achieve a speed bonus than they were before.
  
• The Rules screen on the TV has been updated to reflect the updated Speed Bonus.
  

• The buttons to add and remove AI have been made much more responsive, allowing AI to be removed and added much faster.
  
• Clients can now navigate the Categories menu when playing online. This is to prepare for the release of Workshop support.
  
• A message has been added to the ‘Add Twitch Chat’ page to make clear that the streamers details should be entered, not the details of a user in Twitch Chat.
  
• The size of the Trivia Tricks Save file has been heavily reduced. New save files should now be under 100KB instead of just under a MB. Existing save files will clear this unnecessary data during gameplay.
  

• Following feedback from users creating Workshop content some new validation has been added to the preview menu for character limits and open brackets.
  
• Each field of a Workshop file now has a character limit. You will be informed when you exceed the character limit when you try to preview your question pack! This will catch most cases of malformed CSV’s with missing quotation marks or commas.
  
• A new check has been added for open brackets, due to how certain CSV editors treat them as “Quotes”. Any cells with an open bracket must now contain a closing bracket. Additionally, commas cannot be used within brackets.
  
• Added a specific error message if users try to preview a CSV that is already open in another program (Such as Microsoft Excel).
  
• More descriptive error messages have been introduced to signify the row or uniqueId where a validation error has occurred. This should help you track down issues within your Workshop Packs much easier.
  
• General error messaging has been rewritten to be clearer.
  
• Trivia Tricks will no longer stutter when loading question packs, and a loading screen has been added while a Workshop Pack is ran through validation.
  
• Fixed a bug where the wrong answer would sometimes be highlighted as the ‘correct’ one when multiple answers are identical in everything but their capitalization.
  
• Increased the file size limit of a Workshop Pack from 1MB to 4MB, and additionally fixed the file size check not working correctly
  
• Fixed a bug where trying to load an empty Workshop folder would give the error that there were "too many files" instead of "no file being found".
  
• Fixed a bug that would show the Question Credit from the last question when loading a new pack.
  
• Fixed displayed file paths sometimes using "/" rather than "\".
  

• Fixed some typos and cleaned up the wording on a variety of questions. Thanks to all of you who took the time to report these to us directly!
  
• Added even more questions across all categories, many suggested by the Discord community! Thank you to everyone who has suggested questions so far!
  

• Over the past month Workshop development has become code-complete, and we’re now in the final design cleanup and debugging phases before the beta release on the 30th June!
  
• The functionality for players who join a game in progress to download any relevant Workshop items of that lobby has been implemented.
  
• Gamepad support was added to the Categories menu to allow clients to browse Workshop categories as well as the host.
  
• Workshop categories are now disabled when playing in Co-Op Vs Boss games.
  

• Fixed a bug where characters would sometimes not appear on the ending podiums in games with many online players.
  
• Fixed a bug where the arrows left/right on certain menu selection boxes would adjust with the size of the containing text. Now the arrows will remain in the same position, making them easier to navigate with a mouse.
  
• Fixed a bug where characters from certain alphabets would not display correctly on character podiums (for example, "さくらchan" would only appear as "chan" on the podium).
  
• Fixed the chat's background still being visible when the chat has been disabled in options.
  
• Fixed a UI bug in the statistics menu where the 'Points Earned in Chance Round' statistic could go outside its text box.
  
• Fixed a bug where the menu displayed when joining midgame did not fully cover the screen for all aspect ratios.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Categories Menu's navigation on gamepad when a seasonal event such as Halloween is active.
  
• Fixed some stage elements having collision that didn’t need to.
  
• Fixed some possible stuttering when opening the Categories menu when Trivia Tricks is started without Steam.
  

• The dialogue system has been overhauled!
  
• Mr. Tricks will now emote at any point during his dialogue. This allows him to be more expressive in delivering his lines! Previously all characters could only animate when they first started speaking - very robotic!
  
• Portrait art also changes while speaking with multiple emotions in one dialogue box!
  
• Mr. Tricks' dialogue now has different colors, sizes and fonts!
  
• The dialogue box can now shake if the character is shouting.
  
• The text speed sometimes speeds up or slows down depending on what is being said!
  
• Mr. Tricks' break lines no longer play if Chance Round has just taken place to improve the flow of the game.
  
• When a round has a points bonus, Mr. Tricks will now state it has a bonus of "30%" or "50%" rather than "1.3x" and "1.5x".
  
• When a round has a points bonus, Mr. Tricks takes less time to introduce the next round.
  
• Dialogue will no longer move to a new line mid-word. If the next word would make the text go onto a new line, the word will now appear on the next line immediately.
  
• Various lines have been updated/improved and some new lines have been added for Mr. Tricks.
  
• Expect more dialogue lines for Mr. Tricks and bosses soon!
  

• The ‘Language’ and ‘Art & Literature’ categories have been quality reviewed!
  
• Particular attention was paid to the 'Language' category to ensure the difficulty is fair for a global audience.
  
• We've reviewed the popularity of the media in the 'Art & Literature' category to ensure all questions are based on popular and culturally significant works.
  
• We've standardized the wording and punctuation in the ‘Language’ and ‘Art & Literature’ categories to match the standards set in other categories.
  
• Fixed some typos and cleaned up the wording on a variety of questions. Thanks to all of you who took the time to report these to us directly!
  
• Added even more questions across all categories, many suggested by the Discord community! Thank you to everyone who has suggested questions so far!
  

• AI will no longer spawn with the same name as another player in the room to stop character duplicates when playing with the pre-made characters. For example, if someone is playing with the name "Trinity", Trinity will not be spawned in.
  
• When playing with Twitch, speed bonuses have always been deactivated at game start as it was not possible for chats to achieve the bonus. To alleviate player confusion a message now appears during the intro dialogue to inform the players that speed bonus has been automatically turned off.
  

• In preparation for the upcoming workshop release, we have developed a system to allow players to use standard categories and Workshop categories at the same time!
  
• We have developed a system whereby connecting players will NOT need to manually download the same Workshop Packs as the host.
  
• The performance of Workshop has been greatly improved when Trivia Tricks attempts to identify if a Workshop question has already been asked in the current lobby.
  
• We have added a menu which tracks the host and client Workshop download and verification progress.
  
• Error handling now occurs when downloads fail to allow players to resolve any issues that may occur!
  
• The Categories menu will only show categories that the host has subscribed to, including for clients.
  
• Our next focus is resolving issues that occur when players join mid-game while Workshop categories are active.
  
• Thank you for your patience! We can confirm that Workshop support is now nearing completion!

• The ‘Science & Technology’ category has been given additional questions on the human body.
  
• Questions about overly niche TV shows or films have been removed in the ‘Film & TV’ category.
  
• Specific attention was given to remove extremely obvious questions from the Science & Technology category.
  
• More well-known anime have been given additional questions in the ‘Anime’ category!
  
• Fixed some typos and cleaned up the wording on a variety of questions. Thanks to all of you who took the time to report these to us directly!
  
• Added even more questions across all categories, many suggested by the Discord community! Thank you to everyone who has suggested questions so far!
  

• Workshop development has continued behind the scenes!
  
• We encountered an issue where large question packs would cause performance issues when the algorithm was deciding what the next question should be - this has now been resolved, which will allow players to create and share very large question packs when Workshop support launches!
  
• Our next focus for Workshop support is to ensure players can play with both Workshop Packs and the default categories.
  
• Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on Workshop support!
  

• Fixed a bug where, following a Co-op Boss' reaction to answer reveals, the boss would sometimes hold their pose into the chance round.
  
• Dash's portrait during dialogue is no longer cropped on the left side.

• There are now prompts for Steam Deck, PlayStation, and Switch Pro!
  
• Switch Pro Controller users will now see prompts that accurately match the display of the Switch Pro's face buttons (such as A and B being reversed),
  
• When multiple controller types are in-use, prompts will now fade between the connected controllers
  
• Prompts on the Main Menu will change to represent the last used controller. In lobbies, they will display prompts relevant to Player 1's controller type.
  
• When just using a keyboard and mouse common-sense prompts will be hidden to make menus less cluttered.
  
• If the player loads the Controls menu, the controls shown will represent the current controller option.

• The 'Geography’ category has had questions that may be too difficult or may be too US-centric removed.
  
• Questions about overly niche video games, or questions about very specific aspects of a video game have been removed to improve the overall quality of the category.

• To improve the diversity of bosses, King no longer has the History and Geography categories locked in.
  

• The 'Anime' and 'Food & Drink' categories have been quality reviewed!
  
• The Anime category has received the biggest overhaul yet – with over 110 new questions having been added based on more popular previously-underrepresented series, such as 'Naruto', 'One Piece' and 'Dragon Ball', as well as popular shorter series like ‘Death Note’!
