Scripts General Rule   

All SATEXAS users are allowed to use and add to their bot any script or TCL as long as it adhears to the following basic rule set :

  • No attack or war scripts of any kind
  • No flooding or offensive scripts of any kind
  • No overdosing of scripts that will cause your bot to absorb an unusual amount of memory
Scripts are to be placed in the "scripts" sub-directory inside of your Bot directory. (Example : /usr2/home/efnet/botman/Bot/scripts)

Once the TCL scripts have been uploaded to that directory, you then must edit your master configuration file (Example : egg.config) to load these new scripts. You will find the place to put these changes at the END of your configuration file. One the changes are made, stop, and then restart your bot.

   Changing Versions - What Am I Using?   

By default, SATEXAS servers have TCL7.6 installed. However, many of the newer versions (Egg 1.4.x and higher) require TCL8.2 or better. To service our various customers, SATEXAS has installed different versions of TCL on it's servers. You can see what version of TCL you are using by running our Magic Menu, by typing 'menu' at the SATEXAS prompt.

Once you upgrade the TCL version in your account, you will find specific pointers to your new TCL by looking at your .bash_profile config file in the root of your account directory. You will see two lines like this :

    export TCLLIB=/usr/local/bin/tcl8.2/lib
    export TCLINC=/usr/local/bin/tcl8.2/include
