Copy/Paste, the Client Extension, and the Bio-Editor

Unread post by Side »

So I've got a friend joining the server, and he asked me something that I never really thought about in my time playing here. He wanted to know if there was a way to paste something he wrote up into his character's description. I assumed he could with the client extension as I've seen many people talk about using copy and paste through it, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to actually do it.

Since the server's taking a moment right now I figured now would be the time to learn, but either no one has actually said how to copy/paste or I'm failing horribly at using our forum's search function. Any chance I can get a bit of help figuring this one out?

Only thing I know about copy/paste in the client extension, is the chat.

Descriptions are bic edits, I think? Which means you need access to server vault and a bic editor. Can't do it in-game. Maybe one of the devs can look at the bioeditor and see if they can make it allow copy/paste, but I don't know if it's even possible in nwn2.

DMFI toolbar also has a Bio Edit tab; you don't need to be in the Nexus to edit your bio, although copy-paste functionality requires dowloading AoS' functional app. You can save up to 3 different descriptions in your bio edit page. I usually have 1 for armoured, 1 for casual, 1 for disguised 8-)
