Pathfinder Creature Parser V2

[Blahness98]

Wow.. didn't see it.. Thanks!

[Talen]

Is there a thread (or post in this thread I missed) discussing the experimental settings and the ability to parse spells?

Is there a thread (or post in this thread I missed) discussing the experimental settings and the ability to parse spells?

It's mentioned in the first few posts. What do you want to know?

I see it now.....thanks. I think I just misunderstood what it would/would not do. I think I just need to spend some time with trial and error. I'm sure illl have a host of questions soon!

In coming back to pathfinder, I'm sure I'm falling into the same old issues, but having an issue with this parse from the Honors Echo NPC's. It appears to be related to the Spell-Like Abilities, but I'm not groking something....

Use a - after the level or x/day as the divider between the level/uses label and the spells/spell-like abilities.

Thanks as always Trenloe. So Im assuming when I parse the spell like abilties, messages like the two below should be expected since they arent spells?

Cannot find spell XML element with name <firebolt> cannot parse this spell - skipping.
Processing creature: SYLVAN PROTECTOR
Blank spell name being used after formatting. Orignal name = . Cannot parse this spell - skipping.

Yep, it'll only match spells.

The blank spell name is due to having 2 (or more) levels/uses per day on the same line - the comma makes the parser think there's another spell, but there isn't. I find it best to start each level/use per day on a new line.
