Looking for Item/Weapon/Armor/Skill Description Script

[mk1995]

[ This request has been solved! I couldn't write that into the subject, because there wasn't enough room. ]

Detailed Description:
Somewhere in here is a script that lets a description text scroll in its window, should it be too long (instead of squeezing it together). But the thing is: I can't find it! I've looked through the actual Script forum and the Script Archive, but looked for it in vain there...
I'm asking for a link to the topic of that script. And in case that script doesn't exist (anymore), I request one to be made.

Other Scripts I am using:
No custom ones... yet.


Credit will obviously be given.

Edit: Thanks to kyurianne, I've got my hands on that script. He/She sent it to me via PM, so I'm going to post it right here.

If someone could tell me whose script that is, I'd be grateful.

Bump...

Oh, how I hate this...

Hey,
I got a script similair like what you describe, but it features also to show the icon of the item in the info bar. But i don't know who created it
So I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it so if interested I'll pm it to you.

 

[mk1995]

Sure, do so... I'll take a look at it.
