Uncaught Script Errors

Ive done my best to catch any possible errors that might pop up and write functionality to handle them. But there might be ones that I havent found yet. If an error happens it will pop up a message box that looks like this. If you get any errors like this please send me a screenshot so I can write a patch for the bug.
