Im not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but here goes anyway.

I am looking to create a module of all the tables I use. Is there a means to create tables outside of FG, such as with XML? Im only asking, as the time required to create said tables would be drastically reduced if it were, although Im guessing this isnt possible.

Thank you.

You could try one of these two extensions, though I'm not sure whether they fit your needs or are up-to-date:

CSV Table Paster Community Extension (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40821)

Table Importer (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40812)


There might also be a way to edit the XML directly.

You can do it directly in the xml. But... I haven't done it. Use those two extensions. If not sufficient and you want a project... You can look at something like Altova. I took a peak at it, but was too expensive and time consuming to learn for my tastes. I'm looking at using Maasq's approach to parsing via AutoHotKey for something similar.

After reading through those, I decided to just go with the ole manual method. I mean, if I'm going to be copy/pasting into FG anyway right? The XML option would have let me do it outside of FG, which would have been the bonus.
