How do I make new scripts (like !site, and my bot will tell the user the site)

And how can I make a highscore lookup type thing?
 

PircBot is not a scripting framework, it's a coding API.  It's written in Java, which means that you will need to learn Java to make any "scripts".

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ is one of the best places to do this.  If that's not what you had in mind then you may need to look at some IRC scripting system (PircBot is not it).

"highscore lookup type thing" ?  It's good that you know what thing it is that you want and what the high scores are - but that is a bit too vaugue to answer to, and with your previous question in mind then I would say that you should find yourself a framework to use first then figure out how to do this within that framework - probably with the help of some ready made library as a suggestion - it really depends upon what you are looking up.

If the idea of coding everything from scratch is not appealing to you, then you could always go for a ready made bot and find modules/plugins etc that do what it is that you are wanting.

Thanks. Also how can I make the bot send a message when it joins, like "Hi there! I'm Antebellum,  a bot!"?

You need to look at the PircBot JavaDocs to see the events that you can deal with.  Take a look at all of the onXYZ() methods.

In this case, you could react to onJoin() and then do a sendMessage()
