If you got an account I do not believe you need a sub anymore. Try logging in at ddi.wizards.com
Not to beat a dead horse but....
I can't login to my DDI account through the parser.
I downloaded the latest copy but I still have an issue signing in. I tried the trick of logging into the compendium on IE (not Edge, Chrome, etc.) first and leaving that open. In IE can can access the compendium via IE using my DDI account (using my user name, not my email), but for some reason I still cannot access it in the parser. Is it possible the Wizards moved the login site around? Otherwise, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I even had a friend try.
A few other questions if you don't mind, as I am trying to get up and running for a game with friends and quite frankly I don't know what I am doing:
1.) After I parse and put the .mod files in the directory, do my Players need to do the same?
2.) Do I want to do both the DM and the PC sets? I assume I need to do them separately?
Thanks!
My impression is Wizard's is setting up the ground work to shut down DDI, so its quite likely they have revamped things enough to cause the parser to not work.
1) If the player's have local copies you don't have to transfer the data to them when they are connected and they can use them when not connected to your server.
2) The 4E module files can get very large. You probably want to split them so you don't have to have everything open even if you aren't using that data. A natural divide is Player stuff and DM stuff and you can further split the DM stuff into Monsters and Items.
Thanks for answering those questions. I really appreciate that.
Urgh, so this is annoying. Essentially now my friends and I can't play 4e.
One thing to consider is that since the DDI Compendium info is free, you can just copy and paste info as you need it for individual powers or for monster abilities. FG does a pretty good job of recognizing those and then parsing the abilities with the built-in parsing options.
I guess. For a big campaign that could take a long time. I think it's easier for us to just move to 5e.
I am having the same issue. I wonder if it is possible to recode the parser so the parser browser points to the new login area? I am not a programmer so I have no idea if that would work or not.Quote:
