## Python Scripts:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider using the Python interface for your scripts, it's a very nice
|
|
|
|
|
API, allows for loading/unloading individual scripts, and gives you
|
2013-04-08 21:08:26 -04:00
|
|
|
almost all the features of the C plugin API. For more info, see the
|
2013-09-29 20:44:12 -04:00
|
|
|
[HexChat Python Interface](http://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/script_python.html).

## Perl Scripts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-04-08 21:08:26 -04:00
|
|
|
Perl 5.8 or newer is required. For more info, see the
|
2013-09-29 20:44:12 -04:00
|
|
|
[HexChat Perl Interface](http://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/script_perl.html).

|
|
|
## Autoloading Scripts and Plugins:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The root of your HexChat config is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat
|
|
|
|
|
* Unix: ~/.config/hexchat
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-10-28 09:43:41 -04:00
|
|
|
Referred to as <config> from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* <config>/addons/*.pl Perl scripts
|
|
|
|
|
* <config>/addons/*.py Python scripts
|
|
|
|
|
* <config>/addons/*.dll Plugins (Windows)
|
|
|
|
|
* <config>/addons/*.so Plugins (Unix)
|
