There's two sets of problems:
In function linkSpellLibrary, it tries to copy a lot of fields that are apparently optional in Starfinder (targets, descriptors, area, effect). So I put in checks to ensure they exist before trying to copy them.
In function formatSpells it expects a concentration bonus which Starfinder doesn't have. Looks like a Pathfinder leftover, as there's comments about alchemists in there. So I basically went in and commented out all the places it tries to read this, gives warning about this, or writes this.
After making these changes, I've now got an extension that runs and generates what look to be proper creatures for the NANOBOT MIMIC , Mado, Tekhoinos, and Amanda.
So the question is what do I do with it? I'm happy to post the functions I changed here if someone wants to fix their own copy, but I don't want to mess with someone else's extension if that's a no-no.
