[Bug 1.0.2028] Custom Biographies do not Import

EudaemoniumEudaemonium Member Posts: 3,199
At present, customised biographies do not import. This was the case with the custom ones I had made before with characters, so the issue seems to be with importing, not exporting. When importing the biography would revert to the default class biography.

To test:

1) Create a character. Then either:
2a) Edit the Biography in Character Creation. Change it to whatever you want. OR
2b) After beginning, go to Customize > Biography and edit it there. Again, change to whatever you want.
3) Click OK to finalise journal. If you check Character Record > Information > BIography it will show the custom biography
4) Export Character
5) Start a new game, importing the character you just exported
6) The Biography will have reverted to the default class biography.

    Imported character should use the imported character's biography

    1. Extract the attached CHR and BIO files to Documents\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\characters
    2. Start a new game and select "Import" on the Character Creation screen
    3. Select Appearance > Done > Done
    4. Select "Biography"
    5. Notice that the Biography is:
    Inspired by your foster father's knowledge of the magical arts, you took steps to duplicate his abilities. Uninterested in a structured study of magic, you chose instead to harness raw magic and use it how you saw fit. Gorion was kind enough to give pointers here and there, but was never entirely comfortable with your reckless approach to magic. After years of practice, you now feel that you are a capable sorcerer, but could be so much more if you were to travel the realms in search of greater knowledge.
    You know little of how you came to be a ward of Gorion's, but over the years you have gleaned something of your mother's tale from his vague allusions and from the words he sometimes uttered in tear-filled sleep. She was an elf from the High Forest and a friend of his for many seasons. As you have no memory of her, nor any keepsakes to remind you of her existence, you have come to believe that she died while giving birth to you. Perhaps it was the pain of such a parting that led Gorion to cloister himself within the narrow halls of Candlekeep and raise you as his own. Of your father, you have learned nothing.
    The biography should read:
    THIS IS MY WHEELCHAIR
    WITHOUT ME, IT IS USELESS
    WITHOUT IT, I AM USELESS

    Additional Notes:

    The .bio file is generated on Export, and it works on the character list before the Character Creation screen.
