As mentioned in a comment on Issue #1970 after it was closed, the script doesn't work. The following patch fixes it for me and for another commenter:

It's up to the game devs to make the change, so opening bugs here that the game devs may not be aware of at all is not guaranteed to get anything to happen.

And still there are plenty of game related bugs on this tracker... Also I couldn't find a bugtracker for AYIM when reporting the original bug #1970.

@Photon89 your best chance of getting this fix pushed is to contact the game developer directly.

Thanks for the hints about where to properly report this problem, gdrewb / tele42. I've e-mailed the developers.

I had contacted the developpers a couple of weeks ago. This morning, I had an answer from Jan Hackl. Here it is:
"Hi Alexandre,

sorry for the late reply… there are a lot of things going on at the moment. You’re right this would be an easy fix. Unfortunately the labtop where I submitted the builds from for AYIM was stolen last year, and since we didn’t have an update planned since then I never setup the process on my new one.

So even though the fix is simple, the process of deploying it makes it a little more complicated and I don’t have time to do this right now. I filed the bug in our but tracker, so it doesn’t get lost:
http://www.brokenrul.es/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=607

Thanks,
Jan"

So, we may see the fix included in a not so near future.
