I believe you have exported your character incorrectly. To export your character correctly from Hero Lab you must click File->Save Custom Output and then in the dialog select the "Generate XML File" button and click output.

Thanks for your response, Cody! Actually, your answer to Krb243 solved my problem as well... :D

If it still helps, I'm sending you my speccy snapshot privately

Question any plans on being able to import monster stat blocks from Hero Lab/Pathfinder doing this?

Reply to Talysian
Importing monster stat blocks from Hero Lab and PCGen is a plan in the future, but the current priority is implementing 4E support for Hero Lab and improving the accuracy of the already existing character imports.

Nice! Thanks for doing this. :)

Update 2.8.1.D
Use link in first post.

Updates

Hero Lab (3.5 and Pathfinder) and Dungeons and Dragons Insider (4E)

Conversion now takes place entirely through XSLT and a custom Character Converter API. Documentation will be released in later updates, but all of the API is in use in the XSLT files which can be exported within the program.

Hero Lab

Bug fix: attackbonus/melee/total replaced attackbonus/grapple/total
Bug fix: attackbonus/melee/misc replaced attackbonus/grapple/misc
New data: attackbonus/melee/total
New data: attackbonus/melee/misc
New data: attackbonus/ranged/abilitymod

Working on Hero Lab 4E support. Let me know how the know if you have any requests for the API.

I'm having trouble importing a PCGen character with this. I've created a Pathfinder character in PCGen 5.16.4, exported as a Fantasy Grounds XML file, and then tried to do a campaign import using the Pathfinder selected in the drop down list, choosing my XML file and Campaign Import with a campaign selected.

I get the error that it is an invalid PCGen file.

Any suggestions?

Would you mind posting both the PCGen file and the exported Fantasy Grounds 2 .xml of the PCGen file? Just zip up the two files and post them as an attachment on these forums. I can look into it right away for you.

Also check out the solution Trenloe posted below. If that doesn't work post the files. Thanks Trenloe for helping out!

Best regards,

I'm guessing you're selecting the "csheet_FantasyGrounds.xml" file that came with PCGen 5.16.4 and not the new one you need to install from the character converter?

In the Fantasy Grounds 2 character converter there is a menu option (top left) - "Install PC Gen Support" which you need to run to install a new XML file: "csheet_FantasyGrounds2_pc_3.5.xml" and select this when you export from PCGen.

Ah HA. When I saw PCGen listed in the drop-down menu, I assumed I already had PCGen support. Will check that tonight.

Thanks!
