/halt
}
else {
/msg $chan QUOTE: $read(quote.txt, $2) it ish gone! yesh it ish!
/write -dl $+ $2 quote.txt
dec %t.q 1
dec %e.q 1
}
}
}

There is no $chan in the alias /addquote (neither in any of the aliases in your post). I suggest you to add the $chan to the alias. Eg:

on *:TEXT:!addquote*:#:/addquote $chan $1
/addquote {
if (%quote == on) {
/write quote.txt $2-
/msg $1 QUOTE: 9 $2- Added!
inc %t.q 1
inc %e.q 1
}
}

Doing that in the aliases should fix the issue.

Hope this helps

thanks for the help, but i still cannot get it to work even with the script changes you gave me.

on *:TEXT:!addquote*:#: {
if (%quote == on) {
/write quote.txt $2-
/msg $chan QUOTE: 9 $2- Added!
inc %t.q 1
inc %e.q 1
}
}

$chan and $1- would have a value

You have some extra closing braces (})


Remove the } braces.
