F12 Reset Fix

Introduction
F12 reset can sometimes be a pain in the arse. This script fixes that by spawning a new Game.exe. It can also be used if you want to use the editor whilst play-testing it. You can also configure to show the console on test play.

Features
- Saves an RM user from death by F12 reset.
