Utility - Character Importer

Thanks for the latest update - I'm loving this tool! :)

However, I get errors in the module manager. When I try to enable any of the modules I get a long error message that basically says "The system cannot find the file specified" - this is with the standard 4 modules and the same error occurs when "Restore Defaults" is pressed. The path and filename shown for each module (press "edit") is correct.

Not a biggie - but I've been looking forward to trying the module lookup!

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with FG V2.8.1.

(exactly the) same here !!
:confused:

Thanks for reporting both of your troubles. I have some further questions.

Can you use the "Add" feature to create a new module entry that does not fail?
When does the error occur in the program?
Could you post the paths the program is listing as the valid module paths?
Has Fantasy Grounds 2 been installed in the default directory?
Have either of you tampered with the Fantasy Grounds 2 modules?

Until this is fixed you can uncheck the "Use modules from the module manager to lookup data" option and the program should work regardless of this problem.

Currently I am debugging the program, but I can't seem to find any problems on my 32 bit machine. I will need to wait till I can access my 64 bit machine to do further diagnostics.

Best Regards,
Cody Stebbins

I've got this working by running the app as Administrator. Sorry, it's usually one of the first things I do when apps start misbehaving.

Trenloe,
Good to know. Glad you got it working. Let me know if anything else comes.

ZorxPotz,
Have you tried running it administrator mode? Perhaps you are having the same problem as Trenloe.

Best regards,
Cody Stebbins

Yes, always launched it in administrator mode. Let me run some tests to get back to your other questions...

When you say "administrator mode", you do mean right-clicking on the executable and selecting "Run as Administrator"? Just logging in as an administrator is not the same.

Sorry, I must have been running an older version. I still get the problem, even running as administrator. Version with issues: 2.8.1.H

To answer your questions Cody:

- Can you use the "Add" feature to create a new module entry that does not fail?

I can't add a new module - the "Path" entry is greyed out. Pressing "Select Module" does nothing.

- When does the error occur in the program?

When I press "Restore Defaults" in the module manager, or try to "check" a listed module. When I first open module manager, none of the 4 listed modules are selected.

- Could you post the paths the program is listing as the valid module paths?

When I try to edit the PF-SRD-Basic-Rules.mod it lists: C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds II\modules\PF-SRD-Basic-Rules.mod

I can't edit this, it's greyed out.

- Has Fantasy Grounds 2 been installed in the default directory?

Yes - but in 64bit this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Fantasy Grounds II

- Have either of you tampered with the Fantasy Grounds 2 modules?

Not me... :)

Very useful utility - thanks! Just trying it out for the first time tonight in preparation for a Pathfinder one-shot in about a week. In the first minute of using it, I've run into one little bug though so I might as well mention it.

Used in conjunction with a character exported for Fantasy Grounds from the latest version of Hero Lab (3.8a), I've noticed that it did not add my PC's size modifier to the Armor Class (Goblin PC, +1 to AC for small size). Otherwise, so far so good. Will report further issues if I experience any.

Edit: Here's another one. Same character (Goblin Fighter, exported from Hero Lab 3.8a). Imported weapons were correct except that the Shortbow was imported as a melee weapon instead of ranged, which obviously impacts Attack Bonus. I would simply click the little M/R icon in Fantasy Grounds (2.8.1 Release) next to the weapon, but it refused to toggle.

Edit2: And another. With each character that I import from Hero Lab, their armor is imported twice, which messes with encumbrance (easy enough to remove manually, though). I'm sure this is because, in Hero Lab, you add the armor twice... once on the Armor tab (to calculate AC) and once on the Gear tab (for inventory and encumbrance purposes).
