+**Final words:** Thank you all for participating in this project. It was a small project at first, but over time it became my graduation project. Now, it's big enough for me to be proud of. However, I couldn't handle the project's size. I apologize if I disappointed anyone or caused any headaches due to the script's functionality. But this time, I'm formally ending the project. Feel free to fork it and modify it however you like. I started to prioritized other things in my personal life, and as I didn't felt motivated to change other parts or solve the problems, I decided to close the project and be responsible. Take care!
