Awesome parser and super easy to use not fiddly at all like the old one!
I do have one question/issue though. How can I change the .xml type created in the module from db.xml to common.xml or even client.xml?
As it stands I seem to be unable to do this which means I can't push the module for the players to see. They all have DDI accounts but its a pain to have to look stuff up in books or on the DDI when I have all the data parsed already but they can't see it.
Am I missing some option on the parser? I know Tenians has an option for the output format, does the new one?
Either way, thanks for all the work you have put into this tool!
There's a super easy way to do this. Change the .mod to a .zip file.
Open up the .zip file.
Rename the db.xml to whichever kind you want.
Rename the .zip and .mod.
I *think* that works.
Oh really? Haha I had thought about that but assumed the xml was different in some way aside from the name.
I'll give it a try and report back :)
Yes, This does work. I recently did it and tested it.Quote:

The parser only accepts files created by the parser when you download entries.
When you dowload Compendium entries, it leaves a file name "<module name> <number of entries> Entries <date>.txt". (For example, "Monsters 5170 Entries 2013_0421.txt") That file has the downloaded entries. You can select multiple of these files if you want.
It accepts these files so that you do not have to download again from the website when you want to combine entries in different ways or if the parser changes to fix a bug or add an enhancement.
Any way in creating files like these? I have a lot of the compendium backed p on my machine from when i had a subscription, actually php + mysql db scrape
Im trying to get that stuff int either your or the old parser... atm i am actually trying to write a c# prog to convert the stuff into the old format.. but maybe it would be better to convert it to your format. dont know if i could post an example of what i get from my database as it is actually wotc content.
Easiest would be to renew my sub and parse it.. but strangely paypal does not work anymore for it
But at the moment i would like to get my data into fg somehow.
Thanks for this great tool!
And I'll remove my original question as I found the answer earlier in the thread.
