Ok so i have this youtube script, and it says in comments that http.tcl is required, which im assuming is so bot can connect with http to get the youtube information.

So i got this http.tcl script and put it in my scripts folder and added the source scripts/http.tcl to conf and restated bot, it didn't appear to load, and i got this error.

Code: Select all

0415:11…   10 Rufus: [15:17] #Solo# rehash
15:11…   10 Rufus: Rehashing.

15:11…   10 Rufus: while executing

15:11…   10 Rufus: (file "scripts/http-2.5.tcl" line 28)
15:11…   10 Rufus: invoked from within

15:11…   10 Rufus: [15:17] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

Unload the script. There is already a HTTP package in the TCL library.

(Use package require http if you don't have it in your script)

Even further, never ever load tcl-packages using source, use the package require command for these. It'll make sure the proper version is loaded, keeps track which packages are loaded, etc.

Of course, this does not apply to normal scripts, which are loaded using the source command as usual.

Ok so i tried what you both said, and it didnt say anything about http loading, but i can get http results from the partyline, but not in the channels, and yes they are set so they can recieve them if it helps.

.chanset #yourchan +setting
Most scripts use this to allow/deny the ability to perform in each channel.

If you "READ" the documentation included with the script (if the script has none, read the top comments of the script) you will most always find the reason for things not going as expected.
