Need help with my menu - Current issue is item grid layout

[DerVVulfman]

Gets better, LilyFrog.  I just did some more work on the popup display.  But to do what is needed, I added TWO more methods to the BITMAP class.

Okay, a little info.  The Bitmap class is a hidden class that you would normally bot be able to touch.  But a number of us intrepid scripters know of the class and how to tweak it.  In this, there are a number of additions made.

The first one to note is the 'Scaled Blit' method by SephirothSpawn.  Blitting is the act of pasting a bitmap to a location.   SephirothSpawn's Scaled Blit method takes the image and makes it fit within a specific area, shrinking it or increasing its size to fit.  BUT... it doesn't distort the image in doing so.

The second one is the 'Formatted Text' method by Trickster.  This is an enhanced version of the default draw_text method, using the same basic x and y positions, text area width, and line height of the original.  But the difference is that when the text goes beyond the prescribed width, the text is continued as another line below the first.  It doesn't do Right-Justified, Centered, nor 'Full Alignment'... but it does the trick.

With that out of the way, I remastered the pop window in the scripts to add the image and description.  I .. um... forgot to add the item NAME like your mockup.  But it's pretty much there.

Oh, and for the test, I added an image to add into your Graphics\Pictures folder.  It MIGHT look familiar.
