Hi the problem you maybe having is that your variables are not linked correctly.
Go to your External_variables.txt and scroll to the bottom there should be a few links double click them in notepad++ if they show a page with the error of 404 its because the files aren't linked correctly!
If you struggle to be able to do this, add my discord; Малонала#0998
