    What other scripts do you have installed? It's likely that they're the problem. Try putting this script under them, or, if it is, on top of them.

    This sounds like a pretty decent script, but the dl to get the images is invalid.

    This actually provides alot more customization than I first thought. Nicely done and yea the demo link is non-existant. Solution? make your own graphics! It's not hard.
  6. Archduke

    Alright, I've remedied the broken link. Everything should be working now.

    @Zasian: I've tried to make it as customizable as possible, so even if multiple people use the same script, you really couldn't tell!

    I was expecting a Discovery Channel-style title screen.

    I was sorely disappointed.

    Nah just kidding, this is great! Very likely that I'd use it for a future project. :D

    Discovery Channel? I've not the slightest idea what that is.

    I'm glad you like it!

    Just a note: I'm taking suggestions for features, so if there is anything (within reason) you want to be able to do with it, but can't, feel free to let me know! If there aren't any feature additions, I'll just go ahead and set it to 1.0 as a finished version.
