library making issues

[Nestor]

I am trying to make a supplemental library for the characters in my 4e game.

I want to add racial modifiers that did not make it to the PHB1 - 3 and class features, so i can keep them all straight at the touch of a button.

(ex why does this guy have a +2 mod to acrobatics, the link would tell you its a halfling racial power)

so i de-compiled the phb 1 and i got all my racial traits/ablities set up and they work just fine.

but class features don't even show up. I think it has something to do with the class.txt file, but i am unsure

what do i need to change in the class.txt to make class features show up
for test purposes i was just grabbing a few samples of class features from the phb1

ie

Tactics:Brutal Scoundrel Rogue Feature
You gain a bonus to Sneak Attack damage equal to your Strength modifier. The choice you make also provides bonuses to certain rogue powers. Individual powers detail the effects (if any) your Rogue Tactics selection has on them.

Rogue's Weapon Talent Rogue Feature
When you wield a shuriken, your weapon damage die increases by one size. When you wield a dagger, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls.

all the powers are in one file, and the racial powers work just fine

here is the class.txt file

I'm afraid the answer is simpler than you want. The class abilities are not in the DDI data base in a parseable way. The exception is some of the essentials books where some of the class abilities are level-less utilities or attacks. For them to do what you want they would have to be entered as powers or feats. Instead, in DDI they are entered as a wall of text from which nothing gets parsed out.

Can you give me an example of a simple "Class Feature" (Class Powers Supplemental) library mod, that i can use as a template. and then how it would need to be parsed (the settings). I have tried to do a "Supplemental Powers" library mod, but it comes up blank every time, not sure how to enter the powers.

thanks

Not sure about an example mod, try the Yahoo RPGA group it has some mods you can refer to.

Alternatively, in the 4E Parsers program folder you will find a Templates folder. In Templates, take a look at the file Reference_Manual_Class_Template.txt file. This file demonstrate how to build reference manual pages for each class.

Class Features can be parsed in as powers, the format of each entry should be:

{name} {class|paragon path|epic destiny} Feature {level}
{text}

e.g.

Drunken Brawler Rogue Feature 4
You gain no disadvantage when fighting under the influence of alcohol.

I think i have it figured out,

I did not have the parser configured correctly

it was not picking up class features that were not powers
