[WOTC] Biographies: Copy Load and Paste

描述
What is this?
Fed up with writing biographies in that little awkward box?
Want to use simple text editor functions like cut/copy/paste?
Well this is the mod for you .... almost!

This mod adds a few buttons to the biography input screen that allows you to load a biography from a config entry, copy the current text to the window clipboard or paste text in from the windows clipboard.

Thats Cool!
YES You did read that correctly, you can PASTE FROM WINDOWS into the biography with this mod. !!

Not quite keyboard shortcut cut/copy/paste in game, but you can write the biography entries in your text editor of choice (like Notepad++) and paste them to to the game.
It's a few extra clicks, but writing biographies in an external program and pasting them in feels so much better in my opinion!

BEWARE - Paste From replaces the entire input box's text !

Older Config Method
The config method still exists from the v1 version, but in my opinion largely overshadowed by the v2 copy/paste buttons.
The config method should be easy to understand and I've included some examples. Please see the XComAutoBiography.ini config for more details.

Make sure you put entries in the config!!! ... or you will have nothing to load when in game.
When in the game, just navigate to the characters biography input screen, if the mod detects a character with a matching name, click the button to load the bio. Easy right? Magic!

It also works from in the armoury OR in the character pool...

If the names don't match the button will be greyed out and disabled. Check your entries!

Known Issues
It can't export/save biographies from the game out to the config, it can only load. (so far)
You can now click the Copy To Clipboard button to copy the current input text to the windows clipboard.

BEWARE - Paste From replaces the entire input box's text !

You still need to make sure you click accept. The final text in the box before clicking accept is what the game will use, meaning you could do final adjustments in-game if needed.

It still has the 3000 character max limit. It's easy to go past this without noticing in an external editor or using the config method.

Config Method formatting is still a little off, you need to use \n for carriage returns and \n\n for line breaks.

If it is enabled, pressing the buttons loads the text from the config/clipboard, this may override any in-game last minute changes you have made.
To help avoid this I placed the buttons at the top of the box, away from the cancel/confirm buttons.

Saftey
Make sure to backup your config file, if using that method!! In the event I need to update this mod, any updates will erase your config entries.
Take this as a warning, I will not be held accountable for "your update wiped my 300 entry lines of Bios" issues, because you failed to back up your config.

Just would like to say thank you. This is surely on the list of the most needed mods for this game. Especially for role players as it sucks having to type out everything. My bios are sometimes 5-6 paragraphs longs. Now I can import quickly or generate using AI (I have like 500 soldiers) and just plop into the box.

Huh, well that sucks then.

I'm sorry to hear that, but it makes sense as this utilises the UE Engine <> Windows Clipboard features.

I have no intention on making it work for Ubuntu/MAC/Linux/Other OS

This doesn't work on Ubuntu 25.04, I just end up with a bunch of squares, as if it can't parse the fonts or something.

At the current time there is no plans to expand the mod.
Although making this work for Epitaphs does sound interesting....

Very useful mod for cool short bios of characters! :steamthumbsup:
Are there any plans for a clipboard update for other text bodies like the name, nickname, epitaphs and all that? Would be useful there, too.

Is there a version of this that works for base game? This version says it only works for WOTC when I try to use it, and doesn't load for base. :steamsad:

Man I love this mod! It adds so much more depth to my characters. And like most (if not all) of your mods, the instructions on how to use couldn't be easier. :steamthumbsup:10/10

Thank you very much for this mod!!! I have very developed biographies for my XCOM personnel and now I don't have to keep re-entering them at the start of a new campaign!!!! Again, thank you very very much for this!!!!
