Module Creation
How does one get this level of module organization? When I export an NPC module, all I get is "NPCs". Does this require XML editing?
Code:<library> <testsummon static="true"> <categoryname type="string"></categoryname> <name type="string">testsummon</name> <entries> <npc> <librarylink type="windowreference"> <class>reference_list</class> <recordname>..</recordname> </librarylink> <name type="string">NPCs</name> <recordtype type="string">npc</recordtype> </npc> </entries> </testsummon> </library>

These are the modules and extensions created and/or taken over by dellanx for PFRPG.
I had a lot of help and advice from many here at FG.
Thank You!

Yeah, I think such things are done directly in xml
By the way, you may want to cut down your screenshot; one can see your campaign password there (because you took a screenshot of all your monitors, also with your FB page and the conversations there)My extensions for 3.5e and Pathfinder
Bug reports please here

No, and I think I misunderstood what you were asking originally since the screenshot was so huge and you copied the library text so... anyway the category that you set in the export dialog is the text category in your library page and there's only one of those.
Could you post a more concise example of what you're trying to do? There are a couple list types already in FG that you could point to (still an XML job) or create a custom list. I do that all the time for practically every project I work on. Some lists are easy (FG does all the hard work) where some of the older list types are fully manual (you have to build each entry yourself) which is still ... "easy" it's just time-consuming and tedious.

I export a Module "test-summon"
Untitled.jpg
The Astral Deva and Barbed Devil (hamatula) are organized under NPCs. I would like there to be Summoned NPC 9 for Astral Deva and Summoned NPC 8 for Barbed Devil (hamatula).
Just like in this module: Summonable Monsters.mod here. The problem with that module is that the special abilities are not parsed. I am able to do that, but I would like to organize my summoned monsters by spell type.
Thanks

Oh, gotcha. What Blackfoot did was create separate XML lists for each summon level, which was really the only way to do it back in 2013. What I'd probably do today is add a custom tag to each monster entry then code a single reference_groupedlist to have FG create the list and categorize them for me on the fly. Either way it's six of one, half-dozen of the other, and it's working in the XML no matter what.
Something along the lines of:
Code:<summonlevel type=string">Summon Monsters 8</summonlevel>

Not getting very far, came up with this, but something is wrong:
<name type="string">NPCs</name>
<recordtype type="string">npc</recordtype>
<reference_list type="string">summonlevel</reference_list>
and
<summonlevel type="string">Summon Monsters 8</summonlevel>
<name type="string">Barbed Devil (hamatula)</name>
