5E Character sheet from XML

[Trenloe]

Any chance you could try it and see if it works?

I don't use this. But maybe the discussion on the previous page will help - post #206 in particular.

For anyone else having trouble I can confirm that if you replace the first two lines of the xml with the old text below it works fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root version="3.3" release="8|CoreRPG:4">

Thanks to Milmoor on a previous post for that.
Cheers Trenloe too. Don't know how I missed that.

Can an extension change that first line of the XML export? Wouldn't be what I would expect but I'm out of ideas as to how it could have changed if that code hasn't changed.

The issue is that while they quit calling FGC version 3 it's root version is 3.3 and it uses different XML encoding than FGU. IE FGC's xml files start:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root version="3.3" release="8|CoreRPG:4">

While internally FGU is version 4 and starts

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root version="4.1" dataversion="20210302" release="8.1|CoreRPG:4.1">

FGU will not run FGC XML but while there are differences in the db.xml they are not, generally, in the character sheet elements so you are fairly safe just exporting the FGC character sheet and changing the first two lines of the XML to what FGU expects.

Just load the exported XML into a text editor like Notepad and change the first two lines.

I understand the issue and the work around but Moon said no code changes have been made in this area in a long time...and as of a few months ago FGU exports worked. I was trying to figure out if I loaded an ext that might have modified this.

Is still functional this tool??
I can upload the xml file, but there is no more response from the page.

I am not proficient with this tool. Did you read and try the stuff from the previous comments?
