The_Things internal script settings

You can type "run" in any scripts settings tab to run it instantly.

Even though you can run all the scripts inside The_Thing, most of the tweaks won't stick.

Thus, to get the full power of this mod, enable run on boot for the script you want and reboot.

After you're done changing script settings, always reboot, so the new settings get applied.
