If I recall correctly, some breaking changes were made to the UIFC API for
javascript a few years ago. Sounds like this script is a victim of that, and
it will need to be fixed. Probably not much a user (sysop) can do to work
around it, unless the game offers some kind of non-interactive setup process.
