on *:start: {

}

->

on *:start: {
  dialog -md Panel panel
  ;; connection command (DO NOT modify this)
  if (!%bot.nick) server %irc.server %irc.port %irc.spass -i %bot.nick %bot.anick %bot.user %bot.name 
}

And you set into your variables %irc.spass with the password of your server

Example:

/set %irc.spass mypassword

changed this and it still doesnt connect to the irc server just times out

and yes i do see the %irc.spass in the variables

on this server the nickname has to already be set before you connect i dont know if that makes a difference with this script

No its not, have you changed the part of the code i provided?

yes i changed it but it acts like its not using that variable at all

Ok type this into your Status

 //echo -a server %irc.server %irc.port -i %bot.nick %bot.anick %bot.user %bot.name 

and give me the result

server chat.vaughn.vg 443 -i papertowel shithead href="http://bot.name" target="_blank">bot.name

ok i can get it to connect to the server and channel by modifying a few things but it doesnt seem to connect to the shoutcast at all and the trigger commands do not yield results to the channel only to private message which is disabled on this irc server any thoughts?

Have you configured correctly your Shoutcast server?
