Fantasy Grounds Conversion Tool for D&D Beyond

[dberkompas]

The site is indeed dead. i've been hosting it on my own site as well as when that site might go dark again. https://www.alexanderkorn.nl/dnd2fg/index.html

Just curious if the code has changed much since I released this freely 2-3yrs ago?

Are you talking about the 5E ruleset code? If so, it has been slowly evolving, but is generally the same.

The most recent update did move the class specialization and subrace data around a little.

My apologies, I'll provide context.

I'm talking about the code for converting a D&D Beyond Character to the XML for Fantasy Grounds.

I wrote the initial code 3yrs ago, and was wondering how different it looked today.

I don't think it has changed much. I found a repo on git that was a year or 2 old. tested it and made some minor changes to it as there were some changes made to the code of D&D Beyond. Right now I'm looking into the new inventory system of them if i can add that in the xml as well. no success yet but i do have to say that I'm not actively trying atm due to holidays.

That was most likely my repo, and it's now 2+ yrs old, and I just tried it, and it still works, amazing.

What 'new' inventory system are you talking about?

So in D&D Beyond they added inventories. So as an example. Before: all items in 1 container called backpack or inventory. Now: If you have a bag of holding it creates a new inventory named to that item where you can store things separately.
I'll post an image as example:

This is fixable by using a loop in the inventory read-out.

I've changed a few things, but haven't had much time for any really new stuff.

Playing around with:
item.definition.isContainer == true

Looks promising.


Dave

Note: JSON fail. I created a character, put some things in the backpack, and pulled the JSON, and nothing that was in the Backpack showed up in the JSON data.

How very odd.

Possibly because the inventory feature is relatively new, and the JSON generation is legacy?

I thought it was maybe the way that we were requesting the json, but couldn't find another api to get it from.

Now that Wizards has absorbed D&D Beyond would it not be pertinent for FG to get on the band wagon to provide more support for that app?
I am thinking import of characters into FG, export into my D&D Beyond account, and the wildest dream the control of my character moves, rolls, etc... from the D&D Beyond app itself.
Guys whichever VTT gets there first will probably be the next mission for Wizards to "absorb" or be absorbed by...
I hope FG fusion with Steam, which I embraced, has led to an expanded FG "empire"...
Keep up the great work there!

Sincerely,
Dred
