Hi Sigma. I'm surprised you still remember me. Anyways, so they're switching over to LUA and such, it seems? Huh, that definitely WOULD work a lot better. Anyways, I won't be as active on here anymore (simply checking back for new messages every so often), so if you can I recommend you contact me via another means from now on.

Updated scripts

Hi LikeLakers2. I edited your common.js to update you to the latest version of TemplateScript. You were using a much older version called regex menu framework, so the main difference you'll see is an improved regex editor and cleaner custom scripts. I also updated deprecated functions. Let me know if anything breaks. :) —Pathoschild 21:54, 08 August 2015 (UTC)
