Pathfinder Creature Parser V2

[Trenloe]

Spells known need (x/day) not just (x) for the number of daily uses. Good examples of the correct format of these are Dragons. Have a look at the ancient red dragon - scroll down a bit from here: https://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/...tic-dragon-red

[madman]

so i need to edit the spell section to be a prepared caster and not a spontaneous caster..

Nope, just change the daily spell count to be the right format.

For example, change this:
7th (5)—destruction (DC 24), repulsion (DC 24)

to this:

7th (5/day)—destruction (DC 24), repulsion (DC 24)

Change the daily uses (X) to (X/day) for each spell level.

Sweet!!!!

For the example I mentioned (Ancient Red Dragon), this shows the correct format:

Spells Known (CL 15th)
7th (4/day)—limited wish, spell turning
6th (6/day)—antimagic field, contingency, greater dispel magic
5th (7/day)—polymorph, telekinesis (DC 20), teleport, wall of force
4th (7/day)—fear (DC 19), fire shield, greater invisibility, stoneskin
3rd (7/day)—dispel magic, displacement, haste, tongues
2nd (7/day)—alter self, detect thoughts (DC 17), misdirection (DC 17), resist energy, see invisibility
1st (8/day)—alarm, grease (DC 16), magic missile, shield, true strike
0 (at will)—arcane mark, bleed, light, mage hand, mending, message, open/close, prestidigitation, read magic

Tried parcing a character for the first time. Got all these errors. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You're trying to use the parser with the OGL Bestiary module supplied with Fantasy Grounds as the input file.

This parser accepts a text file, into which you copied/pasted the text of one or more Pathfinder statblocks. When you press the "Select Data File" button, select the text data file you've created which contains the statblocks.

Please make sure you read the instructions and the gotchas in the first few posts of this thread.

@ Trenloe
I know you are busy with other things....
I was curious if you have plans to add all the other spells out there to the spell parse option?

Not any time soon.

You can substitute a spell module db.xml into the SpellParseRef.xml file - as long as the same structure is present. The parser looks for spelldesc.<XML friendly spell name> to find the XML node with the spell data.

For example, "Acid Arrow" is converted by the parser to acidarrow and spelldesc.acidarrow is looked for in the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <spelldesc static="true">
    <acidarrow>
      <name type="string">Acid Arrow</name>
      <school type="string">conjuration(creation)[acid]</school>
      <level type="string">sorcerer/wizard 2, magus 2</level>
      <components type="string">V, S, M (rhubarb leaf and an adder's stomach), F (a dart)</components>
      <castingtime type="string">1 standard action</castingtime>
      <range type="string">long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)</range>
      <effect type="string"> one arrow of acid</effect>
      <duration type="string">1 round + 1 round per three levels</duration>
      <save type="string">none</save>
      <sr type="string">no</sr>
      <shortdescription type="string">Ranged touch attack; 2d4 damage for 1 round + 1 round/three levels.</shortdescription>
      <source type="string">PFRPG Core</source>
      <description type="formattedtext"><p>An arrow of acid springs from your hand and speeds to its target. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to hit your target. The arrow deals 2d4 points of acid damage with no splash damage. For every three caster levels you possess, the acid, unless neutralized, lasts for another round (to a maximum of 6 additional rounds at 18th level), dealing another 2d4 points of damage in each round.</p>
</description>
    </acidarrow>
    <acidfog>...

You can get all of this data from most spell modules - quite quickly if they already support this format.

Then, find where the App installation of the parser is and where SpellParseRef.xml is stored. This should be somewhere under C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Apps. Search for SpellParseRef.xml here. Make a backup of it, and copy/paste the data from the spell module you wish to use into the file, replacing the old data if necessary.

I can only assume I'm doing something stupid here, but I'm getting this error.
