Database Error: A XML parse error occurred processing file Monsters:db.xml - Error on line 239812: Error reading end tag.

<MooncalfRogue58161>...

Ah, OK - it is in the generated FG XML file and the error is appearing in Fantasy Grounds, not the original parsed file (although the error will come from that file) during the parsing process.

There are 2 different sets of unclosed XML tags in the <id-00008> section:

• <aura align=top>
• <x>

Remove these completely so that you have the following for <id-00008>:

<id-00008>
	<name type="string"><P class="flavor alt">      <B>Windwrack</B>  Recharge 5-6</P></name>
	<action type="string">Minor</action>
	<recharge type="string"><P class="flavor alt"> <B>Windwrack</B>  Recharge 5-6</P> <P class="flavor alt"> <B>Windwrack</B> Recharge 5-6</P></recharge>
	<keywords type="string"><P class="flavor alt"><B>Windwrack</B>  Recharge 5-6</P></keywords>
	<icon type="string">X</icon>
	<powertype type="string">X</powertype>
	<shortdescription type="string">Effect: The mooncalf activates an aura 3 that lasts until the end of the mooncalf's next turn. Creatures in the aura cannot shift. Any Medium or smaller creature that ends its turn in the aura falls prone.</shortdescription>
	<mm3mode type="string">1</mm3mode>
</id-00008>

This should allow FG to read the Monster db.xml entry.

Where, exactly, are you seeing the error?

When I open the module in FGs. A white popup window comes up with the error.

Thanks. I'd guessed that from br0k3n0n3's comment above.

See the XML debugging I did in post #165 - it is the db.xml file in the monsters module that has the error, not the text parse file.

[xKrisx]

So I would like to know why I don't have the full XML file for my parsed monster list? Is it possible for someone to send me the working mod?

So I would like to know why I don't have the full XML file for my parsed monster list?

It is in the module file itself. Change the .mod to .zip and unzip the resulting file - the db.xml file will be available then. Do the modification needed, zip the file back up (from within the directory, select all of the files and zip from there - do not zip it from outside of the directory), then change the .zip file to .mod. This will then be your modified module.

Or, look in the original parsed text file for the "MooncalfRogue58161" entry and remove the <x> and <aura align=top> from the Windwrack power and re-parse.

k awesome I think I have it now. Thank you
