p.s this overwrites a few scene battle parts so put it after any other scripts that replace any part of the class.

A New RTAB version has been released, I hope to combine both versions of the script at a later date.
Script is in my first post.

P.S I know about the bug in the RTAB version where the info shows up normaly but then gets replaced by the usual stuff you'd see before this script is added in and the one where help window dosn't disappear when attacking.
