Script for rolling dice on Hexchat

Hi everybody!

I'm new to scripting on hexchat, so sorry for any dumb question I am
about to write.

We have a Vampire group on irc and obviously we need to roll the dice
in order to play the game. We have an old Mirc script for rolling the
dice, but obviously it doesn't work on hexchat. There is a way to
rename the file in order to use it on hexchat?
If not, I found another script on github (thank you, dear user!)
which, I think, can do the trick, but I don't understand how I should
rename the file in order to load it in Hexchat on startup (after
putting it in the script folder of course).

Someone can help me (and my Vampire group)? Thank you very much!

​

P.S: Sorry for my bad writing, English is not my mothe rtongue...

They use entirely different languages, they are not compatible with
each other in any way.

Yes, that I noticed. There is a way to "translate" my mIrc script into
Hexchat or to use the Hexchat script I've found on internet? At least
to test it, I'm not sure if it works or not. Thanks!

The script has to be rewritten to use HexChat APIs instead of mIRC,
and also in a language that HexChat supports for scripting (like
Python).
