PF2CreatureParser Extension

Version 1.2.4 is now attached to post #2. Fixed a potential script error when writing a line to the parse log.

Yeah, I completely overlooked it in the example I was contrasting for my own errors.

For example: "Druid Order Spells DC 21; 2nd (1 Focus Point) wild morph, wild shape"

It is entirely possible that this format might have changed in subsequent bestiaries, Paizo isn't very good at maintaining consistency. Please see the stat block definitions on page 5-6 of the Bestiary. The only sources I have to go on right now are Bestiary 1 and Fall of Plaguestone, so if they have changed formats in subsequent books, someone will need to let me know.

I caught this problem after going over the block of text, but I forgot to edit it to the newer version.

Working on prepping some new scenarios and the Hazard is putting the entire parse block into the name of the hazrd (all the lines) and not parsing anything. Nothing in the error log. Is this a known issue?

As far as I'm aware the extension doesn't have a code to deal with hazards at all.

The extension only deals with creatures. Hazards are not supported at this time.

This is easily fixed manually, but I wondered what was going wrong here.

Code:

---

AC 25; Fort +18, Ref +12, Will +15
HP 160; Resistances fire 10; Weaknesses cold 5, good 5
Attack of Opportunity [reaction]

---

results in

HP 160
HP Abilities Resistances fire 10
Immunities
Weaknesses
Resistances fire 10;

Here's another one.

Code:

---

Skills Athletics +19
Str +6, Dex –3, Con +5, Int –5, Wis +0, Cha –5
AC 16; Fort +18, Ref +8, Will +11

---

Skills get filled in, so does the AC and the saves but the ability modifiers stay 0

Here's the log output:

--- ParseSection1 ---
Line:UNCOMMON N MEDIUM MINDLESS OOZE
Line:Perception +11; chemical sense 60 feet, no vision
ParsePerceptionAndSenses(Perception +11; chemical sense 60 feet, no vision)
Line:Skills Athletics +19
ParseSkills(Skills Athletics +19)
Line:Str +6, Dex –3, Con +5, Int –5, Wis +0, Cha –5
ParseAbilityModifiers(Str +6, Dex –3, Con +5, Int –5, Wis +0, Cha –5)
--- ParseSection2 ---
Line:AC 16; Fort +18, Ref +8, Will +11
ParseDefenses(AC 16; Fort +18, Ref +8, Will +11)
Saves:; Fort +18, Ref +8, Will +11

For the first one, the correct order (as specified in Bestiary) is Immunities, Weaknesses, Resistances. The parser expects them to be in that order. Also, that Attack of Opportunity line is in the wrong location. It should be after Speed and any attacks. This seems to work correctly:

Code:

---

AC 25; Fort +18, Ref +12, Will +15
HP 160; Weaknesses cold 5, good 5; Resistances fire 10

The second one works fine for me.

Thanks.

FYI, they are both a direct copy + paste from the new module The Slithering
The first one now works - thanks.
The second one - after a new copy + paste - works now. :confused:

Paizo is terrible about sticking to their own formatting, expect things like this to crop up all the time.
