SephirothSpawn's Slanted Bars in VX 1.1

SephirothSpawn's Slanted Bars in VX 1.1
by Kylock (Based on SephirothSpawn's Original Slanted Bars)

Inspired by Syvkal (http://rmvxpuniverse.com) who ported Cogwheel Style bars to VX, I realized how much I missed Seph's Slanted Bars. So here they are. Just add this script and it'll automagically transform your HP and MP bars. Installation instructions are in the header of the script.
