Hi guys,

I come here because I need some help for a silly problem.
I like to write stories for my empires (directly in user_empire_design file) but the text box is too short and, when I choose an empire in the new game window my story appeared cutted like that : see attached image "vanilla0"

So, I'm a beginner about modding but I tried to fix this problem and, after some search in "Stellaris/interface/new_game_setup.gui" I found this:

instantTextBoxType = {
name = "origin_desc"
position = { x = 10 y = 50 }
font = "cg_16b"
maxWidth = 425
maxHeight = 80
format = left
text_color_code = "E"
scrollbarType = "standardtext_slider_small"

I tried to increase "maxHeight" value but I only do that : see attached image "test2"

As you can see, it's not exactly a success... I don't want to altered window but just to make possible to scroll down more, quite simply. :(

How can I do that? Some skilled people can help me? (And excuse me for my english level).

I suggest you post your issue on Paradox forums too: Stellaris: User Mods

There it should have a much higher chance to get noticed by skilled modders ;)

Here is direct link: Need help - Mod biography text box

the problem is just the way you edit the files... no mod is needed

steps;
1. make a new empire with a short bio [save it]
2. open the text file... see image 'open'
3. edit that short bio to say whatever you want to say [don't remove the quote marks] ... see image 'edit'
4. save text file and test... see image 'test'

@vv221 : Thank you. :)

@ussnorway : Your steps are exactly the same than mine, but the problem is that I want to write long bio, not short, and the result is the text box never show the end of my story and cut it when my story reach the frontier of this box. -> see image "vanilla1"

Moreover, this tiny vanilla box is really umcomfortable for reading, so I do that : -> see image "test3"
Now, I can write very long bio but also I can go so far as to do make blank space between paragraphs! What a luxury!
