Works OK for me.

Give it another go. If it still fails, can you access dropbox.com from your location?

Anyone have an idea how to format a multi -discipline caster, ie. A cleric / wizard? I tried the paizo.com site and can't find an example of the stat block.

BTW: The parser doesn't seem to break using the 3.5e listen, spot tags in place of perception, just in the event that someone needs to parse 3.5e material instead of pathfinder.

The parser only supports one spell list, as mentioned in post #1: "Spell parsing – based off spell list formatting on the “Other” tab and spell name matching in the spell XML file. Spell XML file currently hard coded. Currently only 1 spell list is supported."

Multiple spell lists are targeted for future development, but that is a way off yet.

Thanks Trenloe, if all else fails, read the instructions.

Another stupid question; how difficult is adding new spells to the database? I realize that I'm going off the reservation but this works great for parsing 3.5e material EXCEPT the spells. The program flagged darn near every cleric with "spell not found -skipping" messages and made a mess of the domains. I found the SpellParseRef.xml.deploy file. Is that the actual database? And are there any weirdness that I should know concerning the XML?
Thanks for any input

That file is the spell database. You could replace the deploy file and do a re-installation of the parser.

The XML file used is of the same format as a FG spells module .XML file.

The parser reads the <spelldesc> section of the spell XML module. It then matches the spell name via the next XML tag (e.g. <acidarrow>) which is the spell name taken from the NPC spells list, with spaces etc. removed. Take the existing Xml document as an example.

Thanks Trenloe,
I tried to modify the database by adding Cure Minor Wounds and it still couldn't parse the spells, says that the spells couldn't be found. I'll play with it some more when I get a chance.

Thanks again

I am brand new with FG tools and want to import Herolab character. As that tread is pretty old, I don't know if it's still up to date. I'm triing the demo version right now. But i can'T find how to import the Herolab file.

Are you importing a HeroLab character as a PC or as an NPC?

If an NPC see the "HeroLab statblock output" section of post #2 at the beginning of this thread.

If a PC see the "Importing your PC from Hero Lab" section here: https://www.fg-con.com/information/p...ntasy-grounds/

I'm need to import both PC and NPC. I will read both of them. thanks.
