Problems generating and applying FLIRT signatures in IDA for UE4 project

Now it's time to generate pattern files with idb2pat.py script on FLARE github. This one works up to version 7.3 including and doesn't work on 7.4+ because of changes in API calls of IDA. I updated it for IDA 7.5(just renamed a bunch of API calls to different names according to this article by hexrays for porting scripts to newer versions of IDA), but I run into the same problems on 7.2 with the original script.
