List of Modules

[Zeus]

This sounds really good. I was going to write a scraper in Python using Beautiful Soup to grab and parse out the table data. I could use the files created as an input for Par5e. This would save me the work of massaging the data into module format.

I see that the Ruleset Creation documentation isn't in the Par5e manual. I'm very interested in seeing it and seeing if I can make something for 3.5/Pathfinder and possibly Numenera (when it comes out. I am a kickstarter backer for it.).

Give me a few days, I'll release some developer documentation. At a high level the main app operates a standard loop. The Library (when initialised) registers the data types its supports as well as the key subroutines to handle the parsing action. When a parse action is initiated, the main app loops; each time operating on one of the registered data types, the main app provides a support library for opening/closing/reading and writing files and calling the registered Library handlers for:

- Parsing the data into internal data structures - I used HASH tables for 5E
- Generating lists of data - for FGII's window lists
- Writing the data out in module XML
- Writing the modules's definition (again in XML)

If you take a look at the PAR5Ednd5elib.pm and/or the PAR5Etemplatelib.pm in the subfolder PAR5E, you can get an idea of how it works. Each library exports 3 public routines: initLibrary(), registerDataItems() and registerCustomActions() which perform the initial registration of data and routines.

PAR5E uses abstracted subroutine references to call the custom action routines like parseData, generateReferenceList, copyImages, copyTokens, writeData, writeDefinition, writeReferenceLibrary. Each of these routines is either passed a string to parse or an XML writer object to work on.

Cool. I look forward to reading it and seeing what I can do.

With the part of PAR5E used for the Story mode, it sounds like that is ruleset independent?

Yes, pretty much. Same for Encounters (Combats), Treasure Parcels, Tables (Rollable).

It wouldn't take much to convert the other data classes, just some examples of the stat blocks, some tweaks to the regex and output XML.

Hi,

I'm a new user on Fantasy ground and I try to load .mod of this topic because I need all pathfinder rules for my kingmaker campaign. I try to use tutorial video and the help on the site but nothing work. Someone can help me?

Edit : i find ... sorry for this post

Did you work out all your questions?

.mod files are module files that get loaded into fantasy grounds from your FantasyGrounds/modules folder... then you go to the Library within FG and open click the 'Module Activation' button... you'll be able to activate your Pathfinder modules in the window that opens.

Thx for your reply.

I have questions but i wait because i want to search alone and if i really don't find then i will say "Help" here

Are there any modules that replicate the spells/skills/feats/options in the "Complete..." series of 3.5 expansion books?

Nope, because these aren't part of the OGL. The title page of these books usually contains something like this:

This WIZARDS OF THE COAST® game product contains no Open Game Content. No portion of this work may be reproduced in any form without written permission.

Ah... I thought not... bummer dude.



Still, nothing to say I can create these on my own when the campaign calls for it. Thanks!

Are there actually any modules besides the core 3 for DnD 3.5?
