The Scripter

The scripter plugin gives users extreme power and flexibility in interacting with the chess server and with other players. It does this by allowing them to write scripts that are run whenever a certain event occurs. You could for example, automatically respond to any tell you receive, send seeks after a game is finished or have the interface notify you when a topic you are interested in is being discussed in a certain channel.

The currently available Scripter help files are:

• The event types and subtypes
• Writing the condition in a Command script
• Writing the commands in a Command script
• Writing the code in a BeanShell script
• The variables available on all servers
• Predefined functions for BeanShell scripts

A collection of interesting sample scripts:

• Subject Watcher - Notifies you whenever a subject you are interested in is being discussed.
• Channel Logger - Logs all channel tells to a file.
• Arrows and Circles manager - Allows adding arrows and circles to the board in examine mode (not relevant for ICC).

If you have an interesting script in mind (or perhaps you've already written one), email me about it (at ) and I might add it on this page.
