[PFRPG] CreatureLab (Revival of CreatureGen)

[Lichtblitz]

This is a fork of the original CreatureGen Extension (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?34199-CreatureGen-Extension-Import-Stat-blocks-on-the-fly-with-populated-spells) that has been deleted by its creator since. Luckily, because of the original license, continuing the development is not an issue.

What is it?

You can copy stat blocks of creatures from websites, such as d20pfsrd (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary)
You can also copy stat blocks from Apps, such as Pathbuilder (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redrazors.pathbuilder&hl=en&gl=US)
Go to the NPC list and click the new "CLab"-button.
Paste the stat block into the text box and generate a new, filled-out NPC from it. That includes all values, spells from currently loaded modules and a few effects as well. The latter is still a work in progress.
Where can I find it?

You can find it in the FG Forge (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/558/view).
You can find it on GitHub (https://github.com/Lichtblitz/CreatureLab).


Where can I report bugs or request features?

Create an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/Lichtblitz/CreatureLab/issues). Do not forget to add the original text you have used to try and generate a creature in the case of a bug report

A second image showing Spell-Like Abilities and Spells Known layout of the stat block would be useful. (Since I cannot seem to get them to import, even using a d20pfsrd stat block for something like a lich does not work for me)

This tool seems to be exactly what I am looking for when it comes to creating the more complicated NPC's I want to use. But almost all of them are complicated because of needing the 'spells' populated.

Sure thing. I took the Lich from d20pfsrd. You can start the text selection either from the heading "Lich CR 12" or from the description line directly above it. Just select the text all the way down to the final "Treasure" from the "Ecology" section. The extension will check all loaded modules for spells and within those will check all spells with the spell names as keys. There is no guarantee that the keys for the spells are stored in that layout. I recommend using (and loading!) the module "PFRPG - Spellbook". It's using the expected layout for the spells and contains handwritten effects, which are much, much more accurate than the automatically parsed effects:
https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/414/view

It works with some other spell modules as well but is not guaranteed to work with every module out there. It would be a lot of effort to improve it further - effort that I don't feel is warranted with such great one-size-fits-all modules like the "PFRPG - Spellbook".

[Morenu]

I really appreciate the response. My issue was based around "PFRPG - Spellbook"....I had it but I never activated it in my module library. Whoops. That is why it was not loading any spells or spell like abilities.

I want to thank you for this revival of CreatureGen. This is something I had given up finding. I have a fairly long list of NPC's I need to create and been putting it off until the end of setting up my campaign in Fantasy Grounds. I find setting up spells and spell-like-abilities to be very time consuming when creating a NPC. This is going to make it a breeze!

[Lichtblitz]

I'm happy this extension is of value to you :-)
If you encounter any other issues down the line, just drop a few lines and I'll see what I can do.

[dllewell]

Great job Lichtblitz. This is coming in very handy for the module I am converting.

I have 1 suggestion and 1 issue.

Suggestion - Based on the number of subscribers PFRPG - Spellbook Extended (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/415/view) is used more than PFRPG - Spellbook. (https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/414/view) Would it be possible to have the extension look for PFRPG - Spellbook Extended first and get the spell from there if that module is loaded and if not then check for PFRPG - Spellbook?

Issue - When copying data (in this case from a pdf) it doesn't seem to handle carriage returns. (See attached image for details.)
I assume that this affects all fields but the ones I have specifically seen it affect are - Type, SQ, SA, Feats, Skills.

Sadly, the author has been away on this forum since May.

I also created an NPC importer, but in my ruleset which is based on PFRPG. If the need is there, I could probaly port this to an extension as an alternative.

[Evilthorne]

I noticed that but was hoping they may be notified of the post.

[Arimil508]

honestly would apricate it. At the bare minimum I wish they left an error code key so we can decipher this on our own.

[Arimil508]

I found out your problem.
Line 308 has something to do with Energy Resistance.
meaning it is breaking with Channel Resistance. it is treating it as Energy resistance so it is looking for both an amount and a type.
removing it from the creatures stat block and adding it back later

So i looked at the extensions code
and on that line mentioned in that error 308 is one of the lines that deals with energy resistance.
it is breaking because of Channel resistance.
it is looking for stuff that is just not there
remove Channel resistance from the text gen the monster then re add the channel resistance

[celebrindal]

Did you publish it Zar?

Not yet, I've been doing some other things the past few weeks. I'll get back to it probably this week so I can release it next week :)

Cool let me know if you need any help with testing.

Get same error testing this stat block: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/npc-s/npcs-cr-2/cultist-human-cleric-3a/

Looks like a spell parsing issue?

[XenusUk]

Working fine on non-spellcasters

[Arimil508]

hey XenusUk your right it is related to spellcasters. particularly that error is related to parsing spells.
particularly that line is it creating a local variable for the spells name.
So without going to deep into testing we can deduce it is one of three things.
- The spells name on the statblock is miss spelled or has something in it that is preventing it from parsing.
- The spell is not in your loaded database.
- or That spell is named differently than what the stat block states.

it might be "-cause fear (DC 13)D,"
unless that wa a typo that you made while posting your error.
it could be trying to find a spell called D and it cant find the it.

[XenusUk]

I did try the obvious variations. The "D" is the standard used to indicate domain spells for divine spellcasters.
I get the same result using the linked stat block above specifically:

If I edit to remove the "D" it still fails in the same way.

Since the error message references "parameter 1" which appears to be spellNode, I think the error may be that the variable here should be libNode. As this is my first look at the code & I'm not familiar with this language, hopefully the programmer can quickly debug it.
The later spell parseing code looks for superscript "D" to strip out, this is not preserved when copy/pasteing into the input window, trying it myself from the pfsrd page loses the superscript formatting the code is looking for. Does FGU support superscript at all? I could live with some manual editing to clean up the names to get the code minimally working, once the first problem is sorted out.

[XenusUk]

After further testing:
line 15 spell like abilities, parses to add up the 5/day to get 10/day overall, these should not add.
line 16 these don't tie up to the Core Rules definitions. This is an issue because FGU doesn't allow you to manually add them in (unlike spells). This is because they are looked up in the spell list, for clerics these are domain powers in the special abilities list, hence the error: "[0] WARN: "(5/day) copycat (3 rounds)" cannot be found within the loaded spell libraries"
line 17 parses correctly, so you get the basic spell level info
deleting lines 18-20 allows the npc to create, you can manually drag the spells in from there as a workaround, which is ok at low levels but needs fixing for higher levels.

Re-reading the superscript code looks like it will work as it just looks at the end of the spell name for the (non superscript) qualifier and removes it before looking up the name. So once the name matching code is fixed that should work without any additional editing needed.

[XenusUk]

it might be "-cause fear (DC 13)D,"
unless that wa a typo that you made while posting your error.
it could be trying to find a spell called D and it cant find the it.

This was an old stat block so the "D" is in the wrong place, I retested with a pfsrd valid stat block later.

[celebrindal]

Anyone know if there is something like this for Ad&D 2E? Just doing some module imports and am looking to potentially save me a bunch of grief ;-)

Thank you very much. I will give this a try again when I get back to working on the module.

[Lichtblitz]

Hi all,
I haven't worked on the extension in quite a while. Mainly because I had a Fantasy Grounds break and not playing on it equals no motivation on working on the extension for me. I'm now playing another round and have started fixing some bugs that have been reported to me so far.

Release v1.10.0 fixes two bugs:
1. Some spell names were parsed incorrectly (for example "Invisibility, Greater" or "Blistering Invective")
2. The experimental RESIST effects had a bug when a Resistance did not come with a modifier; The resulting effects are still not great but at least they are not breaking the character creation any more

New Release is now live.

Please report bugs at https://github.com/Lichtblitz/CreatureLab/issues

I may not respond right away but having bugs directly in GitHub helps me stay organized when I eventually get back to the extension - or alternatively someone else who forks it.

[XenusUk]

Just to confirm that the new version 1.10 now parses spells correctly. The test stat block above now works.
The unaddressed issue with spell-like abilities being checked only against spells rather than special abilities remains, the details are parsed but not linked to the special ability. The manual workaround is to cut/paste the description.

[skylerbarger]

Downloaded this extension from the forge. However, it is not showing up in the extensions to load on the FG launch menu. I confirmed it is in my windows ext folder. What am I missing?

[Morenu]

Did you update FG after you "bought" it?

[Morenu]

FYI, My DM is using this extension and the following website and LOVES it... saving him a bunch of time. up to 5th level NPC creation is free, membership from 20 - 70 dollars (6 months - lifetime) and the creator is still very active and responsive.

I'm having a problem where no matter what I paste I get the following error:

Error while parsing Preliminary: [string "CreatureLab-v1.10.0:..n/lua/creaturegen.lua"]:1146: No OFFENSE tag found


(I've tried reformatting around it, giving it line breaks, removing them, being sure there are or aren't spaces, etc)



EDIT: Nevermind, the issue was the 3rd party statblock using a "TACTICS" section before the "STATISTICS" section. I swapped them and it was all good. Not a good error display though.

I suggest trying the link I have in the post right above yours. export a stat block and then see if it works. as of 3 weeks ago every one I did that way worked. THEN I went to that same stat block and compared it to one I has that exact error for and I did find a few things to tweak and the error went away. It is possible that the most recent update did do something, but testing it with a know working stat block would be key IMO

Special Abilities

Nauseating Aura (Su) A rawbones emanates a sickening aura that reeks of death in a 20-foot radius. Any creature that comes within that area must succeed on DC 19 Fortitude save or become nauseated for as long as it remains within the area and for 1 minute after leaving the area. A creature that makes a successful save is immune to the nauseating aura of that rawbones for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Strangle (Ex) Rawbones have an unerring talent for seizing their victims by the neck. A creature that is grappled by a rawbones cannot speak or cast any spells that have verbal components.

Vomit Gore (Su) Three times per day, a rawbones can spit a blast of blood and gore in a 20-foot cone that deals 6d6 points of damage (DC 19 Reflex save for half ). The save DC is Charisma-based.

update: the problem was channel energy resistance...

Sadly it looks like one of the recent FGU updates has broken this extension :( Would be real nice if the internal tools smiteworks has built for this type of thing for easier paid module creation could be integrated in more than just the 5E ruleset.

I still think that it would be nicer as an officially integrated feature.

What extension is causing the conflict?

Also - I totally agree on this being a part of the core system.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm not sure exactly which extension it is, but it's on my list titled "Feature : Import Collection" and if I enable that, the CLab button vanishes, and the import button on the npc window breaks.

They are similar extensions they break because they are trying to do the same thing and are in confict with each other.

[Soulcreek]

Is this currently broken? I've tried using it but it's not even appearing in my items when loading the campaign

It's only for the Pathfinder 1e ruleset, not D&D 3.5e. Based on a recent post you've made I'm making the assumption you're running a D&D 3.5e campaign.

I absolutely am! I wasn't aware that there was that disctintion between PF1 and 3.5e, since the forge indicates both rulesets are being compatible.

Do you know if there's a way to import them to PF, and export them to 3.5? Or if there's any alterative extensions that could do this?

[Trenloe]

You could try - but importing a 3.5E statblock into PF probably won't match too much data as the format is a bit different.

Once imported into a PFRPG campaign, export the NPCs to a module - you should then be able to load the module in a 3.5E campaign as that allows PFRPG modules to be loaded. The data may still not match up, so you may get some error and/or have some gaps to fill in.

Hello! Creature Lab isn't working on FG version 4.8. I've created an issue on GitHub, but I'm not sure I did it right so I've decided to double it here: when opening CLab menu it creates a blank window without any input.

EDIT: Thanks, it works now!

The OP says:


Where can I report bugs or request features?
Create an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/Lichtblitz/CreatureLab/issues). Do not forget to add the original text you have used to try and generate a creature in the case of a bug report

[Trenloe]

The issue here is that there was an update to the Forge product 4 days ago which fixes the blank window issue, but the dev changed the extension filename from CreatureLab-v1.10.0.ext to CreatureLab-v1.11.0.ext - which results in the old extension remaining on FG, and existing campaigns set to use this extension will still use the old extension. Devs shouldn't change the filename when updating extensions!

In the long run the extension dev should pick a filename and stick to it when updating the Forge product.

In the short term, users should delete all old versions of CreatureLab from their <FG app data>\extensions directory, keeping CreatureLab-v1.11.0.ext When you load up your campaign, check the version reported in chat - it should show: CreatureLab v1.11.0 (GPL v3)

Gods, are you serious?! How is the forge not standardizing file names or forbidding the change of file names or at the very least inform the dev of this behavior?! It is very clear that these are different versions of the same extensions - that's how they get uploaded. There is absolutely no warning. The developer documentation for extensions could barely be considered helpful as it is. I have developed for different games and systems in the past and present and Fantasy Grounds is the one I'm cursing the most while trying to fix the most trivial things for the most trivial extension ever. And by a large margin.

Sorry for the rant, I'll stick to a static file name in the future - but I hope I'll never have to do another release again. It would mean there have been breaking changes. I have given up on my backlog of useful features long ago since I don't feel like lengthy sessions of trial and error with the state of documentation. It is good enough for my DM and that's my only metric at this point :-)

[Lichtblitz]

I've just double checked. There isn't even a field for the file name. There is absolutely no indication that something such as a file name has any relevance at all:

[LordEntrails]

As you noted, the Forge's pipeline will not rename the files you upload. It's a good suggestion for the Feature request list. Fantasy Grounds - Feature Requests (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featurerequests/featurerequests.php)
Sounds like you might have other ideas to suggest there as well.

[Trenloe]

Forge products can have multiple files - I have that in the FVTT2FG import product as the extension also needs supporting modules. So, it'll be hard for the Forge to guess which files would need renaming/enforcing. I agree there needs to be more information regarding this - both in the Forge Wiki page and the Forge Upload Build page.

The Forge still has a way to go to have a robust feature set, so please suggest Forge specific features in the Feature Request site.

[Griogre]

I also have multi-file modules where I have an asset module and a campaign module with tables. This allows me to support different rulesets or campaign modules with the same assets.

[Deamon2015]

Would it be possible to make this for Starfinder 1e?

[Galadrim]

How do you delete a post lol?
