Is the FG CharacterConverter lost in Unity

[Ridcully1984]

Hi,

I wanted to import my 4e char, that I made in the Character Builder since I saw that in a Youtube-Tutorial by Matthew Colville (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28aaaoJTPwc).
But the FG CharacterConverter seems to be gone.
It is neither in the utilitys-Directory :(

Is it gone for good or will it be back one day, and if so, what day will it be?

It is not available in Unity, and is no longer supported.

It is still in original FG so just download the original and run the utility. You have to use detail adder still and fix a few things like which stat is associated with each skill, but it's perfectly useable still.

Thanks, generally that seems to be working indeed. Though all the Powers were empty. But that might be caused by the Update, where you apparently also had some problems. :(

May have been caused by the update, but also you may not have run DetailAdder.

The character powers are normally saved empty, and the character builder application just pulls the relevant information from the database whenever you view the character. In order to import to FG you need to run another application that pulls the data from the database (your Part files) and inserts them into the saved character file.

1. Create character.
2. Save character.
3. Use DetailAdder
4. Use FG importer
5. Tweak the last few things like which stat is used for skills and power actions.

Thanks. With DetailAdder it works nicely. :)

Glad I could help!

I hate to jump in here, but I think this is relevant. Where might one find that DetailAdder?

[WillowMist]

Found it, sorry.

Where did you find it?

[Braincain007]

Found it, sorry.

Where did you find it, I need to find it.

[Kelrugem]

Where did you find it, I need to find it.

Maybe that answer helps? https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?64110-Is-the-FG-CharacterConverter-lost-in-Unity&p=562733&viewfull=1#post562733

Or maybe watch the mentioned video in the first post :)

I'm not familiar with detail adder but after a brief Internet search it appears to be another tool that some people use to add more details to a 4e character builder PC, it's not specific to Fantasy Grounds. I searched the Internet, using Google, for d&d 4e pc detail adder - here's one thread that may help: https://macropolicebox.ihostfull.com/index.php/creating-player-characters?i=1 This is not for Fantasy Grounds, but it references Detail Adder in "If you are using Character Builder" section - hopefully this will be enough for you to get going.
