Help Us With Helping You

Folks, before asking for help with Tcl errors in your or other people's scripts, please make sure you've done the following:


   have your .tcl and .set commands enabled, meaning that you need to open your config and comment out (or remove) the following lines:
   unbind dcc n tcl *dcc:tcl
   unbind dcc n set *dcc:set
   then save config and restart the bot
   have full backtrace of the error; that means upon receiving Tcl error (you must be logged in), immediately type .set errorInfo and save the output
   if the bot replies with `What? You need .help', you need to enable command .set (see above)
   when posting code, use code tag, not quote; the code should be indented nicely, making it easier to read and understand, for example use:

Code:

foreach foo $bar {
   if {$foo == "moo"} {
      #do something
   }
}

and not:

Code:

foreach foo $bar {
if {$foo == "moo"} {
#do something
}
}

when testing a script, try to run that script only, get rid temporarily of all others, commenting them out in the config (don't forget to restart); it helps in narrowing the possible causes for problems, since there are no other scripts to possibly interfere with the script you are testing
