Utility - Character Importer

Ah, thanks then. I have been using the update feature regularly, I thought I had the latest version. Odd. I'm sure once I get this issue solved, things will go more smoothly. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out this program.

Now, if only my updater would work...anyone else having a problem getting a version higher than 2.8.0?

No. You might want to send an email to [email protected] with your serial number and the date you bought FG, and explain your troubles.

EDIT: Also, for those who have the latest version - the character converter will go to your administrator account's appdata folder, so if you don't log into windows as an administrator the appdata folder that's linked in the start menu won't have the utilities subfolder.

There have been numerous issues with updating to 2.9.x. Most of them seem to stem from changes in Windows folder structures between Windows XP and Windows 7. Depending upon how old your OS is, you may or may not be experiencing one of these.

Several changes to the installer have been made to adjust for these. You may want to try running the web installer from this link, which will update the main installer as part of the installation. That has helped several users.

Thank you everyone for your help, including customer support which fixed my update problem regarding empty packages. One more question, when I run update...it seems there is ALWAYS an update. What is the final version? I've made it to 2.9.1 but it continues to highlight update and there is always something there.

The current release version is 2.9.1. Moon Wizard stated they had a problem with the updater button they had put a fix in in for, so if you are at 2.9.1 you should be ok.

seagreen19,

If you are still seeing the Update button highlight after you are on v2.9.1, please turn on Debug mode in the Settings, and run the Update again. Then, you can send me the update.log file from the FG data folder, so I can take a look. Send to [email protected] along with a reminder of what is happening.

Thanks,
JPG

Given that the converter was built in C# using the .Net framework for speed of development, you may need to ensure that Mono support is in place on your Mac for .Net 2.0. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac and am not familiar with the requirements of using or setting up Mono. Hopefully, someone on the forums who uses a Mac can chime in.

In the long run, I plan to post the Character Converter code to a public location so that the community can help in the enhancement of the utility.

JPG,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

I have installed Mono now and the converter works when converting to XML and then import from within FGII. :)

Running in Mono I cannot insert to a campaign file. I think it is possibly due to the folder separator as it appends \campaigns but the Mac uses /. This is not to important to me as the XML conversion works.

Just on a quick notice, version 2.9.1. Using character converter on DDI character otherwise works fine,but
a) magic items aren't working properly.
b) and It doesn't take your trained skills to FG, you have to manually input trained skills.

I'm having a problem with the character converter and think I may have a module setup error or something. Can someone post or send me a PF exported character (xml) that you know imports successfully so I can test out my installation? Sure appreciate it
