REPLY Of Your Question Part.1
First you ask that Where can I find some good scripts?
The best places to look for useful scripts are at http://www.egghelp.org/tcl.htm or http://www.tclscript.com ! you can even search for scripts at both those sites.
Many other scripts are available on the EggHeads FTP site in the 1.* directories. The directory numbers refer to the version of Eggdrop/Windrop that the scripts were created for.

REPLY Of Your Question Part.2
How can I add scripts to my Windrop?
Unpack the script with a utility like Winzip, most scripts are compressed with gzip (They have a .gz file extension).
Open the script with a text editor (Don't use notepad!) and choose the settings you want.
Move the script(s) to the scripts directory of your Windrop and add the following line to the end of your config file:

Code: Select all

source scripts/script.tcl

Where script.tcl is the filename of the script
Then either .rehash or .restart bot via dcc chat/telnet or /msg bot rehash password

REPLY Of Your Question Part.3
Why do some scripts fail to work with Windrop?
Any script that uses Unix specific commands will not work with Windrops since the commands aren't available under Windows
Many older scripts no longer work with recent version(s) of Windrop due to changes made in the code. Sometimes using the built in compatibility script will help. Add the following command to the start of the scripts section of your config file if it isn't already there:

Code: Select all

source scripts/compat.tcl

Still, if you are not satisfied then make tcl of your own.

How can I create Tcl scripts for Windrop?
The tcl-commands.doc file in the doc directory of Windrop contains basic details of the Tcl scripting commands used in Eggdrop/Windrop.
A good guide to Tcl scripting for Eggdrop/Windrop is at SUNiNet i.e http://www.suninet.nl/tclguide/

This depends on either you have Cygwin installed or not. With an installation of Cygwin you have most of the common Unix commands avaible. Unfortunately there is a current bug making eggdrop unable to use "exec ..." and "open |..." under Cygwin, but under some circumstances a workaround is possible (if you look for one here, you will find one, but however this workaround requires some TCL knowledge to integrate ).

ty for the help.. i guess i sholuld try the unix flavoer of eggdrop .. and see how the scripts work ... i thought the tcl's on the windrop site where there for only windrop-eggdrop.. but seems i may have been wrong ... ty for all the help ..

they have been working for windrop probably at least once, but it can always happen that changes in TCL, cygwin or eggdrop break this or that ^-^.
