Character Converter for D&D Beyond

[Scarbrow1]

I converted my first character and was pleased with the results. I have a multiclass monk/rogue and it seemed to handle most of the conversion well. I noticed that while it did correctly calculate my monk-enhanced movement speed, it did not calculate my Unarmored Defense correctly. It also seems to be missing attacks in the Actions tab of character sheet. Overall nice job on converter. I hope you will continue to make improvements because i will definitely use the converter.

I'm trying to use it but when I import I'm getting the following error:

Database Error: A XML parse error occurred processing file C:\Users\Chad2016\Downloads\Maakeen_lvl8_FG.xml - Error on line 550: Error reading end tag.
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_campaigndata.lua"]:90: import: Unable to parse file

I would guess that maybe it's not been tested with characters who are grouped into a DND Beyond Campaign.

I also tried making a copy of that character (which then has them no longer part of a campaign) and tried to import that and had this error:

Database Error: A XML parse error occurred processing file C:\Users\Chad2016\Downloads\Maakeen_lvl8_no_campai gn.xml - Error on line 550: Error reading end tag.
Script Error: [string "scripts/manager_campaigndata.lua"]:90: import: Unable to parse file

Thanks @Scarbrow1 & @Jaradakar, I'm taking a look right now.

(Since it saves all the PDF's, I don't need to ask for them.)

Some other things to note:

1) If you hit the "reset" button on the web site, while it does clear things out the next time you try to use it, it seems to fail and not generate any xml data. If you instead just refresh the page that seems to not only reset but when you try to use it again it generates data.
2) Character for the most part seems intact, equipment shows up in a list, but actions/attacks that normally would come with said weapons are not listed (this would be super nice).
3) It allowed me to discover that there are invisible labels for your currency area, so that you can label said boxes... I had no idea! (as your import labeled them).

Even with the current quirks, it saves time! Hopefully you can fix the campaign tag issue as all our characters are currently in a DND beyond campaign.

@Jaradakar,

I've noticed a big ol' bug. If you use the reset button and try to parse another character, it's fubar.

Is that what you did, or was it from a refreshed page?


Dave

[Jaradakar]

The first first time I used it. After doing so I tried using the reset button, yes.

@Jaradakar,

Was the name on the Character sheet, Duel Wield Dex Fighter?

Because that one is parsing fine, so if you can give me some more specifics, I can find the character sheet.


Dave

[dberkompas]

Found it, looking into what's going wrong.


Dave

Interesting.

If you look at the spells, such as Bane, it has a <C> after it.

What's happening is that the XML parser is seeing that as a tag without a closing tag.

I've never seen this on my own character sheets, do you know what that means?

Duel Wield Dex Fighter was the my 'successful import'.

All the gear shows up, but it's all empty, so when you set it to be equipped in fantasy grounds it does not actually change the AC (armor) or give you an attack action (Rapier, Longbow). Hope that helps!
