Introducing Unit Name Item Drop.

I only just found out that FE8 supports drawing unit names in popups, but this feature is never actually used. So I immediately changed that for the item drop popup since it’s always been strange that it says Got [item].

Installation instructions:

#include UnitNameItemDrop.lyn.event or Insert EA with FEBuilder.
Change the text at id 0x0008 to got [X] (with a space before and after the word; vanilla is Got [X]).
Change the text at id 0x0009 to pilfered [X] (with a space before and after the word; vanilla is was pilfered.[X])
Change the text at id 0x000A to stole [X] (you get the idea).

I encourage anyone interested in popups to look into how FE8 does them, they’re a super intuitive yet underutilized structure. Anyway that’s all, have a great day!
