That would be pretty handy, and certainly less error-prone than the text parsing method. Obviously this only works with the data output from monster.pf2.tools. I'm not aware of any JSON 'standard' for representing PF2 creatures. I would want to refactor my code to allow a lot of the data setting stuff to be shared between the text and json parsing methods.
How are you doing the JSON parsing?
After you read the file in FG just use this.
Utility.decodeJSON(json) sets it up as a lua Table. It is organized like this once you decode it . strength = {value=1, ... notes= ""}
So no need to Parse it is exact. So you just do something like this:
if rNPCData.strength.value == "" then sValue = 0 else sValue = rNPCData.strength.value end
DB.setValue(nodeRecord, "strength", "number", tonumber(sValue));
The skills will require concanation (haven't gotten that far) and the spells will require a look up in the ref manuals that are loaded.
I can pass along the entire thing. I just merged it into your script. Its a side quest of a side quest so really need to be working on some main projects haha. If your on discord can message me there for the copy of your file.
That's straightforward, I'll start working on it.
Let me know if you need anything it took me a minute to figure out how to get and read the file but it ended up being very simple. I just wanted to see if I could do it.
Version 1.3, which has the ability to parse JSON stat blocks generated by https://monster.pf2.tools/ has been uploaded to the Forge. I'm sure there are bugs, but I've done as much testing as I can think of. Please post here if you get script errors, or find things that don't seem to be working correctly.
There are some known issues with the web site, but the author of the site is no longer maintaining that version of the tool so I've done the best I can with the output. You will also see differences in the NPCs generated by parsing the text output and the json output from that web site because of the way it generates the text stat block which is incorrect in a few places.
Version 1.3.1 has been pushed to the Forge. See post #1 for changes in this version.
Version 1.3.2 has been pushed to the Forge. See post #1 for changes in this version.
The JSON parser seems to have some bugs. I have the following JSON file exported from the monster.pf2.tools, but the parser misses the melee part completely. Here's the JSON:
It is all one line, but maybe there are some constraints that I have missed. When I copy paste this exact json string to the parser and click the parse JSON statblock button, it shows an error and then I get the following statblock:Quote:

For the record monster.pf2.tools page looks like the following:

It would be great if you could take a look. Thanks for your effort!
Hello, I have found out that following JSON doesn't parse properly. JSON in question is from the conversion github repository, which works perfectly when you put it into the monster.pf2e.tools. I have tried just copying this particular json to the parser and first uploading it to the monster.pf2e.tools, exporting a json from there and then copying it to the parser but it fails with the attached parse log and the partially parsed creature looks like the attached png file.
Thanks for your work!
The errors described in the previous post have been fixed and version 1.3.3 has been uploaded to the forge.
