Yes. The parser works without the scraper. If you go Start -> All Programs -> 4E Parser -> Documents. You will pop a window with a Sample folder. Double click the Sample folder and you will see 3 more folders. Double click the Input one. That will bring up 3 more folders. Double click the PHB one. Inside you will find samples for armor, weapons and equipment. They have samples entries. I would suggest you copy and paste the files into the same folder with the scrapped files with which ever PH you are making. Then just follow the format of the items in the text files.

Does the scrapper put any specific code language into the text file? I didnt see anything specific in the text files that were created for powers, npcs, and the like.
I created a short item text file for some mundane armor and the parser is able to create an items file, but it just doesnt pull in any of the information. The client file does not include any item information. I used a similar format to the text files of the powers and npc files.
3. Is there a specific format the text file should follow or does the file have to have a specific name for the parser to see it? Simply called it armor.
Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

Quick question on the parser. I am working on building my library but I have not been including my icons for info I scrape (ie the cover for the MM, or PHB). Is it possible to add this after the fact or do I need to stop now and start over?

You don't need to re-scrape. Just load the "config" file for the parse (you *did* save the configuration, right?), then set the Thumbnail to the icon. Originally Posted by FSHSchmo

When I try to parse items from the compendium I always get the following error message.
It doesn't matter from which sourcebook the items are coming.

if all you want to do is add a thumbnail to a pre-built module that does not contain one already, quick tip:
Save your thumbnail image as thumbnail.png and then simply it add it to the root of the module file using WinZIP. i.e. Open the .mod file with WinZIP and then add your thumbnail.png to the archive.FG Project Development
Next Project(s)*: Starfinder v1.2 Starship Combat
Current Project: Starfinder v1.1 - Character Starships
Completed Projects: Starfinder Ruleset v1.0, Starfinder Core Rulebook, Alien Archive, Paizo Pathfinder Official Theme, D&D 5E data updates
* All fluid by nature and therefore subject to change.

You have to have a DDI account to use the parser. If you do, make sure you are using your e-mail address and not your forum name for your login name.
