HEXCHAT

How to install HEXCHAT Commands

First need to go to “Settings” then “User Commands” and press “Add.”

Then type the name of the command which will trigger the macro, such as /hello or /idlekick (do not put a '/' in the command name). If you want the macro to do more than one command you can enter multiple under the same name (they will trigger in the order they are listed, such as the “noinvite” script below).

In the second box you enter the command you want the macro to do. For the ones below you would simply copy the name of the command after “NAME” and then copy the bit after “CMD” into the second box.
