If you wish to use RuneScript in your room, all you have to do is invite it! To invite RuneScript, you must be an operator in your channel. Use the command /invite RuneScript #yourchannel to invite it. It's that simple!

It's not that simple if RuneScript isn't already on your network though. If you would like RuneScript on a network that it is not already on, you need to come talk to us in our main IRC channel. The IRC network asking for a RuneScript must have a significant user base that will put the bot to use and not let it idle unused or outside of channels for extended periods. ***Home ISPs and connections will not be connected to.*** You can either use our java chat, or connect to irc.rscript.org and join #stats. Once you're there, you need to get a hold of spling, Cruiser, Cynthia, Remus, Kados, Andy, Micksam7, Archmagus, or any other RuneScript administrator.

Also, please note that RuneScript requires 3 users in a channel, or it will automatically part. Channels on SwiftIRC may be required to have a higher user count that the minimum for other networks due to high demand there. Please check the #rscript topic on SwiftIRC for the current limit.

When you invite RuneScript into your channel, there will be a 10 minute "invite ignore" set in place on your channel, during which you will not be able to invite the bot again if it should leave via !part or for any other reason. Also, kicking the bot from your channel will put the same restriction in place.

RuneScript is also available via the 3 major instant messenger services (AIM, MSN and Yahoo!). The IM version works just like the IRC version without any of the channel population limits and just a few minor display modifications for IM compatibility. The exact same commands are still used so those already familiar with the IRC version can easily move over and those new to RuneScript can easily learn and use both via our help docs.
