Scripts
From Stellarium
Please note that version 0.10.0 of Stellarium does not have a scripting engine — a new, and more sophisticated scripting engine will be implemented for a future release. People who are able to build the SVN code may play with the new scripting engine now.

[edit] Installing Scripts
To install a script copy the script file (.sts extension), and any texture files it uses to the scripts sub-directory of your User Data Directory. Instructions with many of these community-donated scripts may date back to older versions of Stellarium, and the instructions provided with the script may be out of date.

[edit] Note for version 0.9.x
Scripts written for versions previous to 0.9.x of Stellarium might have date commands with the argument in a format like this:
date utc 2008:4:24T12:00:00 date local 2008:4:24T12:00:00
This will cause a problem in version 0.9.x — you need to update such scripts so that the date commands have this format:
date utc 2008-04-24T12:00:00 date local 2008-04-24T12:00:00
i.e so the delimiters in the date portion are hyphens ("-"), not colons and numbers contain leading zeros, where applicable.
