Getscript — The coolest thing you never knew you had

Getscript.. what is that?

Getscript is a feature included in Linkinus 1.2 and up that allows you to install or update scripts by simply requesting it via a /getscript scriptname from inside Linkinus. This makes it extremely easy to install new scripts created by the great Linkinus community, and also make sure your scripts are always up to date with the latest features.Even though this feature is not new to 1.3, we felt as though it was not being used at much as it could be. We wanted to write this post to give you a little primer in how this will make your life a little easier. No more searching for plugins or scripts via google or forums, simply execute a command while your in Linkinus and instantly download and install all your favorite plugins

Sounds good, but are there really more scripts available?

New scripts are being created almost everyday by the ever-growing Linkinus community. We will be posting new editions or updates to our Getscript repository on our blog, so make sure you subscribe to our RSS feed to stay notified of any changes.

Do I have to get them one-by-one? I’m a busy person!

Getscript does allow you to fetch an individual script if you would like by simply using the /getscript scriptname command (e.g. /getscript itunes). If you prefer to grab them all you can use /getscript -all and it will download/update all available scripts and reload the new versions automatically.

How do I get my script available inside the Getscript command?

If you would like your script to be easily installed, simply email us using our contact form and specify “Addon Submission” as the subject or drop by our IRC chatroom and let us know!

What’s next?

Getscript is currently being expanded to cover more than just scripts. Look for future versions which will include support for plugins and styles as well!
