PDF Monster Parser for DN's D&D4e Character Sheet Framework

I've tried clicking on/off all the settings....did that paste work for you?

It's not one of the option check boxes.
At the top of the input screen, it says "MM1 Monster Stat Card Entry"
Below that it says "Click to switch to MM3 monster format"
Click that line of text.

I started doing this, and it rocks the MM1 cards, but when I try to make tokens MM3 style, I don't get any powers.

I'm getting this too, and yeah, I'm swapping to MM3 in the Stat Card Entry Box. It happens when using both the basic DN 5 campaign and the hybrid Veggie/DN5 campaign in use over on the LFR boards. I'm using a Mac.

What you posted does not post the powers.
Is that a new adventure?
I'm guessing they changed the format or hidden characters for spaces or tabs or something, and that's what is causing them not to be recognized.
As an aside, if you use the compendium, the Evil Eye power doesn't show up, but the other 2 powers do.
So that's something that TravisT will have to look at.
Do all the other monsters from that adventure work?
Do the monsters from older adventures work for you?
I would provide TravisT as much info as possible.

Aha, betcha I know what it is (now that I'm sure we're not insane). Here's a block that fails:

hmm, tried that change and still not working with the monsters in my PDF =/

For what it matters, my chat window has output that looks like this

Quote:

Invalid condition in IF(getState(tempCond) == 1) roll option. Statement options (if any): r, if(getState(tempCond) == 1), code Statement Body (first 200 characters): { [r: macroLink(strformat(" ", getStateImage(tempCond, 25)), "Info@Lib:Sheet", "none", json

There's also a big-red-X image icon in there as well

please verify it works before you insinuate that I can't read how to use it.

I didn't insinuate. I was making sure that all steps had been taken. I wasn't able to run the program at the time.
Sorry to bother you.

Change all the uppercase section heads to mixed case.

Yea, tried that =/

Looking at your example which now works and mine that doesn't, I'm not seeing any context differences, driving me nuts.

Huh. I'll mess around with yours some later.

I tried the Drow Ranger, and all I had to do was change "STANDARD ACTIONS" to "Standard Actions" to create the powers. If you still have issues with it creating powers--and assuming the sheet type selection is correct--then, double check to make sure that you have your stack size set to around 4MB. If the stack size isn't set high enough, then the parser will fail at some point as it goes through its iterations. It won't give you an error message; it will just fail to process. Powers are created after stats in the process, so your token could get all of its stats but still fail in the power creation process.

I took the Cyclops Hewer, and changed the following things:

TRAITS -> Traits
TRIGGERED ACTIONS -> Triggered Actions
STANDARD ACTIONS -> Standard Actions

Worked like a charm. Evil Eye needed a little cleanup, but otherwise it's good.

really? hmm, I tried that and it was still throwing errors..now that I know it works I'll mess with it again.

Well, apparently I am an idiot, afterall, as this time when I did it, it worked.
