Derp. I'm learning xml. Ignore this.
Let me know if you need any help :)Quote:

<npc type="string">wolfinsheepsclothing</npc>
Sounds good. I'm at the stage of reading in the sharedStrings.xml and now trying to pair it with name/poisons. Once I can that working well enough I'll try to format it into the maladies format (and I'll try to include the npc tag too), and then post here to verify it what you are looking for before I start doing the bulk conversions.
I can open the sharedStrings xml and read it. I discovered some data issues so I'm going to write a data-validator function before trying to compile and write out the needed xml. My MBA classes come first, so I'll need to do them and then work on this a few spare hours during the weekends if I'm lucky. I just wanted to give you a heads up, I did not forget about this. I am working on it, but it's not going to be nearly as swift as my ego wants it to be.
Thanks for the update.Quote:

One tip/trick that might help you out is that the tags like "id-0001" can be text instead. The just can't be re-used. So Ghoul Fever could be "ghoulfever" rather than "id-0003" or whatever it is currently.
Okay I've got the maladies in a form I can process and outputting to an xml format. Since I've never worked with XML before I'm just double checking this output will work for you before I start cranking through the poisons one by one.

Was looking at poisons, and ran across this:
Found several cool abilities that may enhance poison. Like Anathema (Ex), Eldritch Poisoner.

Basically, get rid of the category tag and add in the root, reference, and diseases tags. Line breaks are also needed but I think that has to do with the forum stripping your formatting perhaps?
Finally, you have an issue with the frequency stuff. id-00220 has "<freq_dice type="dice" />" which doesn't do anything and doesn't have "<freq_interval type="number">1</freq_interval>" which it needs. The next line has a similar issue but it also has a typo: "<req_dice type="dice" />". There is also "<onset_dice type="dice" />" which isn't doing anything. I'm unsure whether these will cause issues, but I have been leaving them out when they aren't used.
Thanks, but both of those are far too specific to automate (not that they couldn't be, but rather the time spent would be large and the result would be small).Quote:

Is there a way to add a sort function by "DC" and "Category Type" (i.e., contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury).
