Holy crap! Thanks a million Valeros!
Hi!
I second the "holy crap"! Man, Valeros your stuff rocks the house! ;)
Does this mean the only thing left for you to add are the character themes? If you achieve that then you have truly done it all! Thumbs up Valeros! :)
Edit: As I parsed and went over the book, it seems you DID get the theme powers done! Is there anything left to do? Awesome!

Oh wow.... nicely done. You are awesome!
First off, valeros; you are the coolest dude ever. Thanks a ton for your work. Last night your parser pretty much talked me into jettisoning all the individual rulebooks I'd parsed with Tenian's Parser and just use the parses from yours. It's so much cleaner to just have like 8 books in my Library instead of 20, and it's sooooo much easier to find Powers when it's in one Library entry named "4E Powers", or Monsters in my "4E Monsters" book. Man is that sweet!
A couple things:
- I parsed the Powers last night, but when I add them to a character sheet, it doesn't update the actual sheet with (a) the description, and (b) the preformatted conditions and effects for a given power (ie the little sword icon clicky on the sheet). I can click the button on the character sheet and it'll pop up the actual Power Card, but the character sheet fields themselves aren't being populated. Did I do something wrong when I parsed?
- Any chance you'll support Traps in a future revision?
Thanks again, and keep up the awesome work! Tools like this are so insanely helpful for all the 4E DM's out there.
Thanks for the feedback.
I will have to check on the powers. My guess is that what you are seeing is related to the questions I asked above about which tags really need to be in the output. I did not output as many tags as Tenian's parser because I did not think they were used anymore. But it sounds like they are. I should be able to add them, hopefully this weekend. (So hopefully you kept the file(s) with the downloaded data so you do not have to download the entries again when I update the parser.)
Also, you can combine entries if you want into one output module. You can either specify multiple types when downloading or specify multiple files to read. That way you can have less than 8 files if you want.
I will look at traps as time permits, but I will try to fix powers first.
Thanks
Looks like I forgot to include the shortdescription in the powers. I fixed and the powers seem to work fine for me on the character sheet.
Torgaard, when you get a chance, could you please try the updated parser and see if this resolves the issue for you. Thank you
Sweet!
And I'm stoked to try your idea of just making one big module. That could be cool as hell. Ohhh, I know what I'll do: I'll create like a "4E Players Compendium" with like Powers, Rituals, Backgrounds, stuff like that, and then make a "4E DM's Codex" with Monsters, Terrain, etc. Awww ya.
Works! Well done. And thanks again, val.
Off to make my giant sooper modules!

Valeros, as I am going through the I noticed that racial and class features don't appear in the powers or feat book.
For example the deva astral resistance and astral majesty or the Battle Cleric's lore for example. I had them functional in the original books, but they don't seem to pop up on your parser. I know from previous experience that these can be "finicky" so you may not have gotten to those yet.
Also do you plan on doing conditions and skills? They are a short list, but I realized that Tenian's latest version does not parser the "nature" skill. Its real odd and I have tried a bunch of methods but it seems to "ignore" it when parsing. Earlier versions of the parser do it just fine. Also that parser doesn't really parse the skill text and tables correctly. I have done my own patch job, but its not a great solution.
Besides, skills and powers, I guess the paragon paths and epic destinies could be done as well. All these are pretty short lists and hopefully won't burden you too much.
I must tell you how grateful and thankful for all these parsers. It has made my DM'ing infinitely easier as well as cutting down the amount of books to almost nothing.
Again many thanks!

Totally awesome Valeros. Thank you, truly
:D
