Module not showing up in Library

[aryus]

My apologies if this is not the correct forum.

I have parsed a monster from the monster manual to a module per the tutorial on the FGWiki and was able to open the module and see it in the Library. However, I added another monster to that module and now it is no longer visible in the Library. I even tried creating a brand new module and that is not visible either.

The modules are visible in the module page and the books are open, but the Library is empty.

Can anyone please point me to how I might be able to solve this?

Thanks.

Sounds like your monster data has an XML tag error. Open your modified db.xml file with your browser to see if there is XML error. Then you can easily where the error is and fix it. Note that this is just a hunch, but I would try that out first.

Most likely you're missing a markup....if just one </p> is missing or such, the module won't be visible in the library. As aryus mentioned, open the xml file in a browser and it should show you where the error is.

Thanks. After your suggestion, I did look at the db.xml for my campaign. It was referring a few monsters to the old module. I removed those monsters from the encounter they were attached to and reloaded the module, but it still does not show up in the Library. I've tried recreating the module under the same name as before and under a different name, but neither is working.

It's okay if monsters are referenced in the Encounters section. There are about 10 or so monsters references in encounters that don't even exist in the monster manual! Did you double check all the formatting is correct? Can you post the text into a post?

First it is not clear to me exactly what your problem is. Are you missing the old monster or the new one you entered or both?

I'm going to presume you clicked on the monster module in the library pane on the left and you say you are not getting a listing of monsters at all or some of the monsters are missing?

If so that means your library link section of your monster module is not done correctly. Did you add the monster manually? If so did you add a link to it in the entries section of the library section of the module?

Thanks! You guys are awesome. I was parsing from a Scales of War adventure from Dungeon and left a 2 in front of one of the monster's names so it messed up the xml file on output. Removed that 2 and re-parsed and now everything works fine.

Thank you so much for the quick and great replies.

Also, keep and eye out for power descriptions that start with "A" as the parser uses that as a power identifier. I just changed the descriptions that start with A to Any or The.

Thanks. Just ran into that with the Wererat and changed it like you said. Works great.
