Scrolling Window Help

[PrinceEndymion88]

Hi guys, I've found this script for Rpg MakerVX, someone know if exist something similar for Rpg Maker XP or maybe is possible to convert it?

class Sprite

  def draw_icon(icon_index, x, y, enabled = true)
bitmap = Cache.system("Iconset")
rect = Rect.new(icon_index % 16 * 24, icon_index / 16 * 24, 24, 24)
self.bitmap.blt(x, y, bitmap, rect, enabled ? 255 : 128)
  end

end

class Window_Help < Window_Base

  @@SCROLL_DELAY = 2  # seconds

A picture would be better than a script. As for "converting" it, its more like just making an XP version, not conversion, so the original script is kinda worthless. A picture shows what you want much better.

I've tried it but it seems doesn't work! And sometimes it goes in conflict with Sfont script! mmmmh...

#=============================================================================
# * SFonts
#=============================================================================
# Trickster
# Version 1.0
# 12.19.07
#=============================================================================
# Introduction
#  - This script adds SFont support for rmxp. An sfont is a image file with
#    characters already drawn onto it. The top row of pixels in this image shows
#    where the characters are and where the breaks are.
# Setting up images
#  - The top left hand pixel (0, 0) is the skip color and tells if a column
#    of pixels is empty or contain data
#  - Images should be placed in Graphics/SFonts
#  - For more reference see the example image Arial_Text
# To Use
#  - You can use this script in one of two ways
#    - 1) Set <Bitmap>.sfont to an SFont object then call <Bitmap>.draw_text
#    - 2) Call <SFont>.render(<String>) and then blt it to a Bitmap object
# Documentation
#  - SFont.new(<String/Bitmap>, <Array>, <Integer/String>)
#  - Where the first parameter is a filename (in Graphics/SFonts) or a Bitmap 
#     object containing the Font data
#  - the second parameter is an Array of all of the characters in order in the
#    file the default is specified in @@glyphs below you
#  - the last parameter is either the width that should be used for the space 
#    character or the character whose width you want to use for the space 
#    character the default is " which is the width of the " character if "
#    character is not in the glyph then the height of the bitmap will be used
# Credits
#  - John Croisant for the original code for Rubygame which I used as a base for
#    this script
#  - Adam Bedore for the example sfont image more of his sfont work is given
#    here - http://www.zlurp.com/irq/download.html
