can someone help me

[loaluciferloa]

i have recently bought fantasy grounds with 2 of my friends and i want to make a campaign my problem is that i dont have any modules. i went and subscribed to dnd insider inorder to use 4eparser to convert books into modules but i always get an error 500 or something. without any powers or items fantasy grounds is pretty much useless unless you have countless hours to make them. can someone help me?

[damned]

unfortunately all the material is copyright and others who have done the parsing cant share their modules with you. they are however very helpful people and if you post the exact steps and the exact error message ppl here will help you resolve the issue.
the 3.5e and pathfinder rulesets do have plenty of included content.

well for example i go to 4eparser go to compendium i choose the directory then i put my login for dnd insider i selected monster manual 1 for the book i want to change then i went to compendium and clicked scrape then i input my password for dnd insider. for this book it was ok so far then i went to parse mode i put name category both directories
i put the file npc.txt i got from before to monster stats datafile then i go to reference
where it says power/feats/features/background as data file i put the power.txt as class file i put the class.txt file (which for some reason is empty) and for race the file race.txt when i go to parse i get this:

if i clear the reference section and input only the monster stats i get

In your .txt file remove any "<p class="publishedIn">" text strings (do a find/replace with this string to find and a blank string to replace).

I thought this was covered in a later release of the parser, but I could be wrong - what version are you using?

[damned]

ahah - the cavalry has arrived :)

[loaluciferloa]

i am using version 4.0.118.0 and i just tried to convert player handbook 1 to txt and i got an error when it was setting up items
the remote server returned an error (500) internal server error
and i tried what you told me Trenloe and i get this error now when i try to parse

[loaluciferloa]

https://www.screencast.com/t/ArXSBCb2Ck

[loaluciferloa]

The old 4E Parser can't do items anymore. Make sure you set items to "off". Use the other parser for items. Source Books with items with default this to "on" in the parser so you have to turn it off *everytime* or save the parser settings with it off. Sometimes on off peak hours you won't get the 500 error, its a time out error. Magic items still won't parse but you can get the normal weapons and equipment. You will need that if you want to make magic armor or magic weapons. Here's a flash tutorial on how to do that: https://www.screencast.com/t/ArXSBCb2Ck

To avoid the 500 error turn off items. Later you can go back and run the parser again with *only* items selected and you'll find out right away if you are going to get a 500 error.

[Trenloe]

i am using version 4.0.118.0
That's an old version - get the latest version (4.1.2.3) from the first post here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14951

EDIT: OK, I see you've already tried that. Try Griogre's info in the post above.

[loaluciferloa]

atlast its fixed thanks for your help .

[valeros]

I changed the item parser to make the mundane armor and weapons parse as equipment so they can be combined with a magic item like you mentioned.
