just a heads up, imdb just changed their website design. dunno if it messes up this script or not, just thought i'd let you know.

After a few more rounds of testing, I seem to have resolved the issue with my edit above:> !imdb avatar

Here is my attempt to fix the issue, and it should work correctly now:

I don't think Kirby has been around for two months or so now.

same as VinX, needs an update to fix the release date...aweet script tho, hoping you can update soon kirby, i rated 9/10 only cuz the release date issue

(11:36:50) (VinX) !imdb New Moon
(11:37:29) (~v2-BoT) [Internet Movie Database]: Title: New Moon (2009) - MOVIEmeter: Up 17% in popularity this week - Release Date:

Great contribution Kirby, been using this script for a couple months now on my bot, I like the look better than the previous script I was using. However, someone just noticed in one of my chans that it is not grabbing the Genre when it posts to the channel. We tried several queries, and none of them come back with a Genre result. I don't know socket scripting, so I can't really figure out a way to fix it myself, unfortunately. Just wanted to call it to your attention in case you're monitoring this post. Thanks.

Great script kirby Thanks.

hey Kirby , really great script... how ever the http://www.impulze.net/paste links are not working . getting a timeout trying to reach em. posible you could upload it to pastebin or something?

is it posible you could get it to spam box office aswell ? would be nice to have that imo.

great work thou :)

Updated. Added a second message containing the URL.

@slippy090:
Read the description please...
Syntax: .imdb

how do i get it to find a movie???

Kirby, it is not a case of not understanding the script or needing you to elaborate on any parts. I'm merely stating a point that obviously others have an issue with too. Was I flaming? No, what are comments for? For leaving constructive feedback, likes/dislikes, additions etc of the script? Yes.

I was looking for a good imdb script to use as I didn't much feel like coding one myself, laziness, lack of time, whatever the reason.

As I said, the script is great & works very well. I understand how it works but don't like the colours, the way it delivers to the channel etc. Rarely when I use someone else's script do I not edit it to suit the way I like things & I'm sure I am not the only one. I was simply stating for that reason alone I would not use it. Call it constructive criticism or flaming as you wish, but if you are supplying scripts in the hope that other people will use them, maybe you would like to know what others think for future reference in the hope that more people will use it.

In future I will simply not comment on any of your snippets in an effort to avoid offending your fragile ego further.

gr8 script...I'd suggest adding a tinyurl link to the site but I can just do that myself...still, I give it a 10 for sheer coding...

Kirby, buddy pal, it's a decent script, and works so thats good, its not THAT useful its just a extra type script imo, nothing one truly need, it's fun, but no 10. Dunno why ppl are having fit over the WAY its coded, tbh it's irrelevant, just use it or don't?. B tw wtf happened to hawkee.com, this whole place has become katty as hell =\, sorta sad.

Nazi [10/10 btw]

ROFL @ racial slur, ngr plz! wernt even talking to j00 ford lawnmower
case you hadnt noticed
/me is the only black in the village
^_^

smh @ steve refraining from doing a napa

lmao why accommodate to them... if it's such a problem to them they can make one themselves i mean ffs

Regardless of the fact that it's a bit difficult to read, I don't see why you would not use the script.
Of course if the script doesn't interest you, you wouldn't bother to look at it; but the coding style?> would start on the next line instead of using " | " but I guess it's down to personal preferenceLike you said, it's a personal preference, but I don't see why you would want to not use it.
I can assume that the reason why you don't want to use it is because it is difficult to edit/debug; you have no idea what is happening in the script, what parts can be edited, etc. Well, there's nothing I can really do about it to make you understand; I code in a rather different way; even understanding the code may be difficult for most. I don't guarantee that the user will understand the code, because that's, ultimately, their 'job'. It's their duty, if they were to edit/debug, to understand what is going on in the script, and hold responsibility of what they've done. For example, someone edited parts of the script but had almost no idea of what he or she was doing. They would then blame it on the script maker for having the script "too hard to read" or "too bunched up". That is completely irrelevant to the script. Which leads to what I have to say next.
If you were to ask me to elaborate on the script, I would be more than happy to do so, but having interest in the script, but not even using it because it's not your coding style? Or similarly, "I don't know what's going on, so I'm going to flame the poster, why didn't you make it easier for 'us' to read?" Ridiculous, in my opinion. Like you said: "personal preference".
I do not appreciate whining and complaining about the script's structure - if the result of the code is buggy, then obviously that's something that I will take into consideration; but how I digress many times, what you are saying is completely irrelevant.

Eugenio, I will not use a script unless I can read and understand every single line of it. Doing otherwise would be ignorant on my part.I don't have to explain what every single line is in the script, because that is virtually impossible.
But don't get me wrong - what you're saying is absolutely true. It may be harder to read/debug. I just take a different approach than you do.
However, I appreciate your comments, but if you want an expanded version so much, here you go. But I am NOT changing what I have posted.

LMFAO @ eugene useing racial slurs ...
well he is the only Black Naiz i know of...

the code is a bit bunched up but i can read and understand it just fine. whats the diff you either side scroll or scroll up and down ffs
nice work Kirby..

Eugenio, I will not use a script unless I can read and understand every single line of it. Doing otherwise would be ignorant on my part.

ngr plz
Your racial slurs are completely uncalled for!!

They dont need to comprehend the code ffs, it workz fine.
-.-

He does have a point.

Most of the lines make you horizontal scroll for ages (horizontal scrolling = bad), and it's so confusing with all these $iif's and such no-one can really figure out what's going on. :C

You wont use a script because of how its coded, even tho it works you want to edit it to how YOU like it, use another one or re-code?!?
ngr plz

Script is great and works very well, but I'm with FordLawnmower on the code layout. There is never any need for such long lines of code, that's what the Enter key is for.

I would start on the next line instead of using " | " but I guess it's down to personal preference. I think it makes it a lot easier on the eye if you wish to edit or look at the script & removes the need to scroll in the editor.

For this reason I would not use this script, I could edit it to make it how I like it, or I could just use another or write one.

hmm for some reason it didnt paste the ()'s. updated my ex: in other comment, and with the update it is $regml(2) cuz 1 would be imdb

Believe it should be $regml(1). Not sure though.
Yup, you're right. Edited + Updated.

Believe it should be $regml(1). Not sure though.

Ah okay, thanks for the tip slacker, the on text event worked, but are you sure $regml(2) is right? It didn't work for me.

rofl @ abusing your bot!
that alias version pwnz
