Longer Epitaphs

Description
After a long and hard mission, you are sad over a fallen soldier you cared for the entire campaign, and you want to give him a epitaph that he deserver, describing all the time that you laughed, cried, and killed alien ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s, but you have to fit all that in what is essentially a little longer than a tweet, ridiculous right?

So thats why this mod introduces a much longer Epitaph, raising it from 200 characters to a whole 1000

It also increases the Bio but theres some weirdness to that, maybe involving the dlc, but basically the default Bio is suppose to be 500 according to the classes the Xcom Modbuddy gives you, but testing it ingame without my mod installed, it's actually a whole 3000 characters now, I don't know if this is a glitch or some weird update, but on the safe side this mod guarantees the Bio to be 3001 characters (so if other people have this same thing, it's still technically longer) but if you for some reason have 500 character Bios, then this mod should raise it to 3001 characters, with or without dlc, more than enough to type your fantastic adventures with your soldiers

TL;DR, Bio = 3001 characters, Epitaph = 1000 characters

Update: According to a comment the Bios have been changed to 3000 in the base game proving that I am not crazy, I think I must have an outdated class in the Modbuddy then since it still shows 500, so I removed Bios from the name since that is more accurate

Known Issues:

At the memorial the pictures of your deceased soldiers may take longer to load in when starting the game, idk if this has to do with my mod, but they will show up in a few seconds

I used the mod Longer Names as a frame of reference but I found out that mod became outdated and started crashing people after Shens Last Gift came out, my mod hasn't crashed on me once and I have all the dlc, but be sure to test this mod out (just hold down a button until the curser stops, thats how I've been testing this) before getting farther in your campaign where it might be too late to uninstall (I don't think uninstalling will do much except cut off your Epitaphs where the normal character limit is, but idk)

Please tell me of any bugs this may cause, but in all honesty this mod is pretty simple, I just changed two numbers in "UICustomize_Info" and "UIBarMemorial_Details"

@Lizard That would be a great idea though I've only made a couple XCOM mods, but I've started to be a more active modder with Kenshi.

I think one day I'll give a more fullhearted try with XCOM, but I don't have much time for it now.

I just kinda quickly downloaded the stuff and messed around, it's pretty intuitive for simple mods so maybe you'd be able to do it.

You appear to be one of the few people who are messing around with the Memorials. So I got a suggestion/request. Default soldier background as the epitaph. By the time my operatives are dead I can't remember their back story.

Has anyone found a way to make this compatible with "Load from Character Pool?" They have a conflict, and it causes the button not to show up.

Hmm, I haven't done much moding in a looong time, I'd have to reinstall some stuff, I may consider it after I finish my finals, I'll set a reminder

@RobotMassacre538, is it possible to chance a a couple numbers around in a file somewhere to make the epitaphs a lot longer? Like I want to really nerd out and write my characters citations etc and in 1000 I'd be just getting started XD
