can't get scripts to work (SOLVED)

[Kman1]

i am having trouble getting scripts to work. i changed the settings to make sure it works. it loads fine. i enable the bot and the script does nothing. what am i doing wrong??

[caesar]

have you placed file in the scripts folder, edited eggdrop.conf (or whatever name you gave to the configuration file) and at the end added source scripts/<your_file.tcl> then rehashed (.rehash on DCC Chat/Telnet with the bot)?

How do you know the scripts are loaded? Do they require any special flags that you may not have?

[Kman1]

i know it loads because i use command prompt to load it.. cd "C:/program files (x86)/eggdrop" then i type eggdrop.exe with then leaves all the messages up and i see that the script succesfuly loads.

i have no idea what you mean "and at the end added source scripts/<your_file.tcl>" treat me like i am stupid please

also i just shoved the script into the config

I suspect that you are saying just what caesar said, when you "just shoved the script into the config". caesar just stated it better.

Here is something to read, that explains it:
http://www.egghelp.org/enhance.htm#tclscripts


Further, caesar said:

Do they require any special flags that you may not have?

Expanding on that:
Most scripts have comments, usually at the beginning.
Some are extensive.
Some are instructions on how to set up and use the script.

Read them - all - carefully.

What you could be encountering is something so simple as lacking a flag, as previously mentioned, or perhaps the script has an "On/Off" (setudef) switch that you must use via a .chanset command.

These things will be explained in the directions.

If you name the script here, and where you got it, you might get very, very lucky, and somebody might actually look at it with you.

I hope this helps.

I think you edited your post at the same time as I was replying. There is more info there now.


Ok - I think I found the script you are using, in the TCL Archive here.

Is that it listed here? :
http://www.egghelp.org/tclhtml/3478-4-0 ... -Usman.htm
as Version 2 , dated 15/12/2007 ?

I haven't examined the whole thing, but the configuring of it is not very involved.

If you wish, copy-n-paste the whole thing - as-is , just as you are trying to use it now, here:
http://paste.tclhelp.net/
then post the link back here. Perhaps somebody will be able to spot the problem, and comment for you.
