And the base .txt file you're using should be in ANSI text encoding to keep it to a bare minimum of text. Set your text editor to use ANSI encoding, if the one you're using doesn't support it then find another that does.

It's a plain text file, open it in a text editor.

ZIP the .txt file you're using and attached the ZIP file here.

Theres numbers options with in my text editor as well. Plain text, rich text, html. etc.....I assume just choose plain text?

Plain text with ANSI encoding. The text file you attached is using UTF-8 encoding and that introduces bad characters in the text (mostly where hyphens are, but not limited to that). Find a way to run your text editor in ANSI encoding, then go through the text file looking for weird looking characters.

Yea I think this is a Mac thing....again....there is no option on 3 different mac editors that I've downloaded for the Ansi that you're speaking of. If anyone knows of one let me know, I'll purchase this it, I'm just tired of having some many problems making games....

Ok may have the answer. Everything on Google is saying to use Text Wrangler and choose Western (Windows Latin 1). This is suppose to be the equivalent. But there are 3 options i need to pick from could you guys tell me what to choose? Thanks

Having a quick look, there are a few issues in these statblocks:

• The celebrity has "o" (oh) instead for 0 for the 0 level spells.
• The rager doesn't have the init/senses line, also there is no alignment in the type. This is causing this statblock and the following to get mixed together.
• The Striker doesn't have a proper alignment and type (which is causing an error) nor does it have a class and level, but this is not required whereas proper type is.

I'm sure there's more but those are at first glance.

@Trenloe, think I finally got it. It has to be put in TextWrangler on the settings I mentioned is the only way you can get those funky characters that come from an improper copy paste. It worked perfect after I fixed that except there was 1 creature I could not parse i tried forever. I simply copied and pasted him into another .txt file and parsed separately and he looks perfect. No clue why it wouldn't do it with the others! As always thanks for the help!
