Exactly. As long as the name matches, it should work.
There's some stuff I can try in order to strip extraneous info and do some word replacement to handle common cases, which I'll do. Stuff like "Giant Rat" vs. "Rat, Giant" and stuff like that.
Regarding the named NPCs, yes, I want to both remove the attack modifier workaround that comes with the entries in the OSRIC refs and find a way to auto-create the correct matrix and the Fights As and Saves As entries which create the correct matrix in the first place. Just gotta figure out a reliable way of doing such a thing since the classed NPC entries have no class or level fields.
Of course, just wanted to get basic conversion out there first so that people could use it and mess around with it.
Happy to take any and all requests.
Thanks!
