Scripts:

The orange -> HEAD merge reverted some scripts to older versions. This only
affected the ones that already existed before the orange branch.
Minor issue, easy to fix.

All in all, kudos to kaito, Hos and others for all the hard work in
bringing (coding, merging) all these changes to the main branch.
