4E Item Parser

Just wanted to mention that Mold King's Crown didn't parse cause... of a strange disease that it has (error in Compendium???), but I am not sure if it didn't parse the item or just that power.

Code:

---

Mold King's Crown: Not Parsed: <H1 class=atwillpower><SPAN class=level>Level 10 Disease</SPAN>Blistering Corruption</H1>
Mold King's Crown: Not Parsed: <P class=powerstat><B>Stage 0</B>: The target recovers from the disease.<BR><B>Stage 1</B>: While affected by this stage, the target takes a -2 penalty to Fortitude.<BR>
<B>Stage 2</B>: While affected by this stage, the target takes a -2 penalty to Fortitude. In addition, the target regains only half the normal number of hit points from spending a healing surge,
 and the target’s hit point total cannot exceed its bloodied value.<BR><B>Stage 3</B>: While affected by this stage, the target suffers the effects of stage 2 and has an aura 2 (poison) that
 cannot be deactivated. Any creature that ends its turn in the aura loses a healing surge.<BR><B>Check</B>: At the end of each extended rest, the target makes an Endurance check if it is at stage 1
 or 2.<BR><I>12 or lower</I>: The stage of the disease increases by one.<BR><I>13-17</I>: No Change<BR><I>18 or higher</I>: The stage of the disease decreases by one.<BR><BR>

---

(p.s. Made the code with enter entries to not widen the page on accident)

Mold King's Crown should have parsed (the item entry part.) The disease that is part of the entry did not parse. But that disease is parsed when parsing diseases. I have a new version of the parser that removes that error. It also fixes an issue with races getting extra powers (that has always been broken as far as I can tell.) I still have to test, but hope to post soon. Thanks

Apologies for the cross posting / thread hijacking - we're still looking for some 4E games for FG Con. And there are plenty of other games up there for any players looking for some gaming fix that weekend :)

FG Con 4 is here!

FG Con is back for our 4th event. This time around FG Con will span 100 hours from the evening of Thursday May 8th (AUS/NZ time) to late night Sunday May 11th (US/CA Time).

We’ve got 38 sessions available for registration right now and several more close to being published. Visit the site here: https://www.fg-con.com/events and get started.

Players – now is the time to sign up for your games – but first you need to make sure you have your timezone set in your user profile – see instructions here: https://www.fg-con.com/wp-content/up...gistration.pdf All players play free! Of course you still need to have installed a copy of Fantasy Grounds and TeamSpeak but you can still play even with a demo license.

GMs – there is still time to get your game listed – but don’t leave it too late as it will get harder to fill your game. Instructions for GMs here: https://www.fg-con.com/wp-content/up...Guidelines.pdf All Full Licenses will be bumped to Ultimate licenses for the duration of the Con so you can get those friends involved who haven’t yet committed to a license.

If you need any help – either as a player or a GM please contact the FG Con team by email: [email protected] All feedback is welcome. Suggestions regarding the site, regarding recruitment, regarding emails – whatever – the FG Con team want to hear from you.

Posted updated parser. Fixed issue with Races. Also updates "Power Classes.txt" for new powers.

The parser keeps crashing for me if I use more than one browser.

Edit: And if I cancel the download to try and add more browsers, will I have to re-download all the items I already downloaded?

Hi!

I have noticed this as well.

Primarch

Not sure about the problem since I cannot reproduce. I re-posted the version of the parser before this update to use instead.

I am having great difficulty with the parser. I do have an active DDI account and I have tried using both the old version and new version of the parser with the same results. Every time I have used them they crash if I select too many sections of the compendium so I limited the scope to just doing one section at a time. When I downloaded and parsed "Feats" it worked just fine all other sections gave me the following error (also see image attachment):

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Any assistance you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Try the following:
1) Do not use the option to download using multiple browsers (i.e., on Step 6, leave set to 1.)
2) Ensure .Net 4.0 or higher is installed.
3) Run on a Windows 7 computer (with .Net 4.0 or higher.)
4) Try parsing one of the text files that were generated from a previous run.
5) Ensure the "Power Classes.txt" file is in the same directory as the parser.

Valeros, thanks for the response. I tried all of that and still no luck. I am running a Windows 7 system and have .NET Framework version 4.5. The strange thing is that out of all the subsections of the Compendium only Feats and Glossary have parsed properly.
