Nope. The in parser browser is stuck on the Wizards home page and when you click the link for the DDI tools it opens an external browser. Seems like it be a simple fix in the program, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in 4e anymore
I updated the application to start at "https://ddi.wizards.com/" and force the Compendium to not open a new window. You can see if that will work.
Updated with fix for "Database node type mismatch" error due to "locked" field. Caused problems with adding monsters to combat manager.
Just wanted to chime in with a huge THANK YOU for creating this tool. It has been very sad to see 4e get so close to being a robust electronic ruleset(still probably the best character builder out there for a system this complex!) only to fail commercially and be cast aside. With at least one long running campaign that I plan to continue I am hoping that this tool can extend 4e's lifetime for my group even once Wizards shuts down the ddi tools
I've successfully imported everything and am astounded by how well most things are working inside FG.
Having said that, I have run into one odd problem - it does not seem that you can drag Race and Class into their respective spots on the character sheet in FG? Is the intent to just put them into Abilities for reference and manually calculate HP, etc or am I missing something?
Thanks!
I don't think the 4e ruleset is built that way because of there is no official 4e material for FG. And 4e had a closed license so no third party either. 5e has both so I assume that's why it works there.
Its not so much because of the license. Only the one ruleset (the newest and shiniest ruleset) has all those features.
Did anyone ever figure out how to parse just Essentials material. The source list is truncated in the parser for me so I can not pick through the right material. Looks like "All rules books" is my only option.
So I never added an option to sort by books, but you can fix the menu. There is a button on the right in Step 2. So select "Select Compendium Entries" in Step 1. Wait for the browser at the bottom to complete loading the Compendium. Then click on the "Add All Books to Source" button on the right side in Step 2. Then the Source menu will have all the books when you pick a category (such as Powers or Classes.) (You may have to click the button again once a particular category has been selected.)
It is still a little painful as for example for Powers, you would have to pick a source such as Heroes of the Fallen Lands and select "Add Entries" in step 2, then pick the next book and select "Add Entries" again, and repeat until each Essentials book is added.
