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, and may want to look at this page.

[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scripts may date back to older versions of Stellarium, and the instructions provided with the script may be out of date.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 date date command with the argument is 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 command they look like this:
date utc 2008-04-24T12:00:00 date local 2008-04-24T12:00:00
