CreatureGen Extension: Import Stat-blocks on the fly with populated spells

[KevenSimmons]

I'm not quite sure when it happened, but I've noticed that the iterative attacks are no longer being removed when the "attack" field is being populated. Here's a sample output from the log window and screen capture of the results

[1] parseAttacks (melee)elven curve blade +10/+5 (1d10+3/18-20)
[1] parseAttacks (ranged)+1 composite longbow +12/+7 (1d8+3/x3)

Can you post the statblock?

[KevenSimmons]

Slightly different statblock from my original post - but exhibits the same behavior

I've tried stat blocks from a couple different sources, and even manually retyped the weapon attacks in the CreatureGen input window in case the copy-paste was bringing in delimiter characters that weren't being recognized - all did the same thing. Very odd. I've recently updated the CreatureGen extension, and of course the new FG version last week so I don't know for sure when the behavior started. My next test will be to see what happens if I use a previous version of CreatureGen.

Update 1.61: Bug fix
- Fixed dropIter bug introduced awhile back when fixing another issue (several versions ago actually!)
- Fixed removed old debug, and made existing debug messages more useful to diagnose statblock issues.

If you're having issues with attack or spells being parsed, log level 3 has those details.

Also Keven, the statblock works fine and the bug wasn't due to FG's update, it was a bug introduced in an early version during a patch for dropIter's regex. The only thing I'd change is that the CR field should be on the same line as the name as when I generated it, It internally looks for a line with a CR field.

Check the github for the freshest update.

Thanks Ken. New update is working great. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Yeah. The tool looks super helpful, but I can't figure out the Github thing. I'm going step by step but I just end up with a zip folder with a different name in my extensions. FG won't recognize it. Any suggestions?

Just unzip and paste the full folder. It should work!

re-zip all the files in the folder and name it Creaturegen.ext do not let your zip program name it .zip.

I get a lua error immediately after installing it and before i import any stat blocks if i go into the NPCs window and click "by Type"

Script Error: [string "scripts/data_library_35e.lua"] 48: attempt to index a nil value

I would try checking other extensions. Start by disabling all extensions but this one and reenable them one by one until you get the error
