RE: Pack the script
SnuZZer,

ermmm.. please read the scripting documentation regarding script packs carefully.

Everything said in this thread is only a small part of what you must do and is majorly confusing if you're not that computer literate (not to mention certain things said in this thread are not totally correct).

Either do that or use a script pack tool like Demsey linked to.


A scriptpack includes:
* the JS files, these can be saved in Unicode (little endian) or ANSI.
* an mandatory scriptinfo.xml file. This file must be, in general, saved as Unicode (little endian) (Although you can save it as Ansi too, but in that case you need to define this in the XML header). Don't forget to include an xml header. The proper contents of the file can be found in the scripting documentation. The file is something you need to create manually.
* other files. for more on these, read the scripting documentation.

Everything must be saved under the root in the scriptpack, thus not in a subdirectory.

A scriptpack is actually a normal ZIP file, but with its extension renamed to plsc.

All this and in more detail can be read in the scripting documentation. Read it very very carefully.

@others: try to explain stuff 100% correctly. Very good that you try to help, but almost all posts in this thread so far are not much of a help at all and will in fact make it even more confusing since they don't mention the details and not all facts are given. sorry....

Majorly confusing. And what has FrontPage todo with all this?

You forget to mention that the file must be saved in either unicode or ansi depending on what its contents are (xml encoding).

    <Information>
        <Name>Answering Machine Plus</Name>
        <Description>Autoreplies to user specified messages.</Description>
        <AboutUrl>http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=64534</AboutUrl>
    </Information>
</ScriptInfo>

You forget the important xml header.

That in general is true, but only when you don't have a xml header (which is actually good practice to include it) or if the header says it is UTF-16 encoded. If the header says it is UTF-8 encoded then it should be ansi.
