Scripting

Preample

There are several scripts available for XChat written in various languages. Some of the repos:

It's important to note that from the list below the Perl interface is the only maintained one currently. That means, if you're planning to develop a new script, it's recommended to use Perl.

Perl

For Perl scripts to work you have to download and install one of these:
Use x86/x64 and Perl version according to your XChat-WDK installation. The installer will add Perl to the PATH, but it will only be applied once XChat-WDK is restarted.

Python

For Python scripts to work you have to download and install Python 2.7 (use the x86 or x64 installer according to your XChat-WDK installation). You may have to restart XChat-WDK for the changes to take effect.

Tcl

For Tcl scripts to work you have to download and install ActiveTcl 8.5 (use x86 or x64 according to your XChat-WDK installation). The installer will add Tcl to the PATH, but it will only be applied once XChat-WDK is restarted.

Lua

For Lua scripts to work you have to install the Lua runtime. XChat-WDK uses an own build called Lua-WDK. The Lua-WDK build is included with the installers (this is the simplest option), but you can use other builds if you want to. In this case don't install Lua-WDK.

The source code used for building is available in the repo.

You don't need this to run XChat-WDK, it's only required for building.

Lua-WDK 5.1.4-2-2
