Pathfinder Creature Parser - Alpha release

[Nickademus]

and fg would hang and crash when I did drag him over.

I've been noticing this happen with items in parcels in FG as well. Perhaps the bug is not just in the parser. Perhaps items such as 'rope, hemp (50 ft.)' have problems with the period in the object creation process... Just a thought.

This is completely related to how the XML name tag is handled within Fantasy Grounds. i.e. the <rope, help (50 ft.)> XML start tag for the record in the module.

For the creature parser I had a already written code to remove most incompatible characters from the XML name, I just hadn't included a period because it is actually valid for normal XML tags - obviously not for FG.

So, Im very rusty with the parser and I must be missing something in this text. Anyone able to take the time and spot my mistake?

TACTICS
Before Combat: Holy Ahendile casts mage armor on herself.
During Combat: Holy Ahendile uses ray of enfeeblement to
weaken a strong melee threat. She hesitates to use burning
hands for fear of damaging the property, but she casts it
anyway once she has taken any damage. She uses her wand
of cure light wounds to heal her allies, though she uses her
False Casting feat to hide the true nature of her healing magic.
Morale: If reduced to fewer than 10 hit points, she uses her
wand to heal herself. If unable to heal herself or convinced
that she has lost, Ahendile orders her surviving thugs to
cover her retreat.

Works fine for me. Just copied and pasted the text into Notepad++, save the text file and parsed.

[Talen]

Thanks for the quick response Trenloe, and understood. Here's the screenshot of what I saw that made me think there was an error along with the log file.

Its not "HOLY AHENDILE Sub1" that is causing the problem - it is the CR entries without a space between CR and the number - e.g. "RAMZIRI THUG CR1" - put a space between the CR and the 1.
