I've now added all the races, their variants and monster races (PH, SCAG and Volo) in your framework so if someone is interested I can link the Lib:Character Creation and Lib:Character Tokens (you need the feats with the explanation for some features).
That said this is still a Work in Progress since I plan to start working on the backgrounds options if someone is not doing it already.
Interested!!!

I've already added a couple of extra races for my players (Aarakocra, Aasimar & Tortle) - but if you've gone to so much effort getting everything else in I can't just let you keep that to youself now can I!?
Though If you're still working on adding more I will happily wait until you're ready to share...
It's a work in progress but I've stopped working on the backgrounds at the moment since I was working on the 2.0 version and I've read Rod has been working on them in the 2.3 so I'll wait and see what he already did.
For the races I've already done the full list is this one: (you can copy/paste the list in the races section in settings to make them selecta
Human,Human (Variant),Elf (High Elf),Elf (Wood Elf),Elf (Dark Elf),Dwarf (Hill Dwarf),Dwarf (Mountain Dwarf),Dwarf (Gray Dwarf),Halfling (Lightfoot),Halfling (Stout),Gnome (Forest Gnome),Gnome (Rock Gnome),Gnome (Deep Gnome),Half-Elf,Half-Elf (Variant),Half-Orc,Dragonborn,Tiefling,Tiefling (Variant),Aasimar (Protector),Aasimar (Scourge),Aasimar (Fallen),Firbolg,Goliath,Kenku,Lizardfolk,Tabaxi,Triton,Aarakocra,Air Genasi,Earth Genasi,Fire Genasi,Water Genasi,Bugbear,Goblin,Hobgoblin,Kobold,Orc,Yuan-ti Pureblood
These are the races from: PH, SCAG, EEPC and VGTM.
I've not added the other ones since I was not interested in them. Maybe I'll add them later.

files
the four files are the expanded feats, equip and spells requested by some races and the macroset for the races to import in the Lib:Character Creation token.
I've also checked if they work in the 2.3 version and from what I've seen the only problem is the missing tables for the races I've added

Thanks for sharing!

Have you tested the dice rollers from a player perspective?... That's my only issue and I can't figure it out. Don't know if it's something I've done it an actual bug...

Just finished upgrading from FW 2.0x to 2.3. I like the new DM page graphics, and really like the multiple new windows into things like Races, Feats, and particularly spell lists. Basically, the new lib:Tables stuff looks interesting. I'll have to study up on how to integrate the 3x new subclasses I added into 2.0 to see how they have dealt with in 2.3.

I'm receiving Stack Overflow errors attempting to open any of the Class windows, but I'm assuming I'll be able to address that with startup memory size mods. Has anyone else experienced this?

A "wishlist" item: I don't know enough to know whether this is possible in MT, but is it possible to separate out a lot of the static data into tokens that would NOT normally be part of any updates you do? I had to re-import the following things:

a) (Compendium) Equipment
b) (Compendium) Feats
c) (Compendium) Additional Feats
d) (Compendium) Manage Spells

e) (Character Sheet) Feats
f) (Character Sheet) Races
g) (Character Sheet) Backgrounds
h) (Character Sheet) Classes
i) (Character Sheet) Spell Lists
j) (Character Sheet) Spells

While a-d are less troublesome because you can do a bulk JSON merge, e-j are a bit more fiddly because you basically have to cut/paste data from old to new FW one field at a time. Doing j), in particularly, is tedious.

Awesome work! This is shaping up into something wonderful :)

With regard to the spells, backgrounds, etc. it might be worth looking at 5etools. They have the near complete data of 5e including every spell, background, race, monster, etc, all of it in JSON form.

I think it wouldn't be too hard to modify your framework so that part of this data can be imported directly into it. That might save you some serious time.

Indeed, I've been playing around with mass import of various things using 5etools-style json files as input. Here's a PowerShell script that will take background definitions and create a file whose contents can be copy/pasted into the Feats table. I still need to work on a couple of enhancements (see the "not yet implemented" notes in the script comments), and there are 3 bugs - 2 minor, 1 major - in the code that are also called out in comments. I hope someone can really help me figure out the BIG bug. Even with bugs, however, the output generated is valid. (Some Backgrounds will only show one paragraph of text in sections where there should be multiple paragraphs.)

As always, be safe and backup your cmpgn file before you play with this!

I also used a combo of spell data exported from 5etools (rather than raw json data) + Excel to massage data into Rod's markdown format to populate the spells database, and also an Excel table that generates all the strings needed to specify which spells are available to each class at each specific level. (It was faster for me to do this in Excel than to write a program to do it.) I'll try to figure out a way to share that later.

Code: Select all


function Quote-Literals {
	# Encode any string literals that have to be protected
	
	param( [string]$txt )
	$txt = $txt -replace '"', '\"'				# protect embedded quotes
	$txt = $txt -replace " d(\d+?)", ' 1d$1'	# replace " dN" with "1dN"
	$txt = $txt -replace " (\d+?d\d+?)",  '[$1](roll \"$1\")'	# encode die rolls
	$txt = $txt -replace "^Prerequisite:(.*)",'*Prerequisite: $1*'	# KLUDGE: not sure why the replacement in Remove-EncodedText not working?
	return $txt
}
	
function Remove-EncodedText {
	param( [string]$link )
	# Remove @<text> through to space (inclusive)
	# Remove { and }
	# Remove anything from first | through to } (inclusive)

	$link = $link -replace "\|\D+?}",""		# Remove ALL lists from <pipe> through end bracket (inclusive)
	$link = $link -replace "{@\D+? ",""		# Remove ALL {@<tag><space>
	$link = $link -replace "}+?",""
	$link = $link -replace "\)\|.*$", ")"	# KLUDGE: handles things like "pole (10-foot)|<blah" by removing from just after the ) to the end
	$link = $link -replace "{@i (.*)}", '*$1*' # Convert italic directive to italic markup

	return ($link)
}

# Iterate through the 5e Tools backgrounds.json file and produce the following output
#
# 1) json strings to be imported as Feats to Rod's 5e Framework
# 2) (not yet implemented) a macro script to be saved to Character Creation as part of the Background frame

EDIT: I have figured out a work-around for the big bug - seems kludgy but it works. I've updated the code above.

While you track this down, is there a simple was to reset the database of spells so I can re-import a clean copy? EDIT 4/24: OK - I found the property where the spells are stored on the lib token and manually removed the two offending entries.
I did a 2.3.1 fix that fix that, I mean, I didn't do a way to delete the problematic item, but I figured the problem happens because there is a space in the beginning of the json object key (on the end also breaks it), but I added a code that removes spaces from beginning and ending so it wont happen again, hopefully... thanks for the report!

We came across a bug that completely froze up maptools and required a forced shutdown of the application.
We retested to confirm, and it seems that the dice rollers in the 'Campaign' macros window are broken.
Oh, other people reported the same! I did a 2.3.1 patch that probably fixes it (I couldn't test with many players yet) but the link in the roll was auto executing, so one extra player was making it repeat once, with two, it probably retro actively feeds itself into an infinite loop. mb, thanks for the report!

Also, super glad to see it worked (mostly) well for you!

I've been playing around with backgrounds that have apostrophes in them. I cannot figure out how to properly escape them in the Backgrounds list, however. All text prior to the single quote are dropped on output.

Example: in AI there's a background called "Celebrity Adventurer's Scion" The backgrounds list string should therefore be Celebrity Adventurer's Scion=Name Dropping. This string is accepted by the input field, but when selecting a background during PC creation the selection list shows

's Scion

I've tried prefixing the ' with \ and double-quoting the background, but that simply suppresses the display of this choice entirely.

This is a massively revised and improved version of my PowerShell tool to convert background definitions exported from 5etools into things compatible with Rod's great framework.

There's a bunch of notes in the opening comments. Check and adjust the path definitions around line 75 for your environment. To prepare your source JSON, select the background(s) you want in 5etools, right-click and Pin them. Then go to your Pin list, right-click, and choose "Download JSON Data". THAT file becomes the input used by my tool. The tool is fast - on a decent PC it will process several dozen backgrounds in just a few seconds. Most of the effort is a lot of copy/paste of text from tool output into the FW.

I have run this tool against several dozen backgrounds, but I have NOT exhaustively tested every one of them inside the FW. I tested about a dozen to ensure that the basic class of functions worked as expected - or, in some cases, to determine that my tool is not yet capable of creating a small handful of the backgrounds available. If anyone comes across a problem that's not already discussed in the tool's comments please let me know so I can look into it!

Code: Select all

#
# Import-Background.ps1
#
# This tool is designed to work in support of Rod's D&D 5e Framework for 
# Maptool, found at https://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=28435.
# 
# It takes as input a file containing D&D 5e Background descriptions 
# exported from 5eTools as JSON definitions.  It will generate as output
# the following:
#
# 1) For EACH background in the JSON source, a file called <background>.mt.
#    The contents of this file are meant to be copy/pasted into the 
#    framework as a background defined at Lib:Character Creation.
# 2) A single file called parsed-backgrounds.json.
#    The contents of this file are meant to be copy/pasted into the
#    Menu->Settings->Feats (compendium) Import field.  What you are
#    pasting in are all the text descriptions of the Backgrounds plus
#    the special Feature associated with each Background.
# 3) A single (potentially LONG) line of text is printed to the screen
#    after the tool runs.  It is a list of all the Background=Feature
#    pairs just processed.  You should copy/paste this into the 
#    Menu->Settings->Backgrounds link of the framework.

# Things this tool currently does NOT do:
#   o Doesn't check for duplicate Features, which, when imported, will cause
#	  at least one of the related Backgrounds to generate errors in MT.  
#	  Example: Charlatan, Dimir Operative, and Baldur's Gate Charlatan all 
#	  have a Feature called "False Identity".  As a result, these three 
#	  backgrounds could result in three DIFFERENT JSON entries, all duping
#	  the key of "False Identity".  SOLUTION: The user will need to manually 
#	  modify the input file to differentiate these better.  PROBABLY Note
#     GOING TO FIX THIS IN THE TOOL.  THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SOURCES ARE
#     NON-UNIQUE.
#
#  o At least one Background has a Language description of "Dwarvish, or one
#	 lanuage of choice is Dwarvish is already known". I don't know what the 
#	 MT macro code would need to look like to a) figure out if a language is 
#	 already selected and b) perform an appropriate "if <langknown> then 
#	 <select language>".  (I know how to do the <select language> portion. If
#    someone could help me with a) and the syntax for "if x then" I'll add it.
#
#  o For starting equipment, we can only recognize gear that is tagged in the
#    JSON sources.  For example, the Acolyte's background shows this starting
#	 gear:
#    A {@item holy symbol|phb} (a gift to you when you entered the priesthood), 
#	 a prayer book or prayer wheel, 5 sticks of incense, vestments, a set of 
#	 {@item common clothes|phb}, and a belt {@item pouch|phb} containing 15 gp
#
#    The prayer book or prayer wheel, the incense, and the vestments are not
# 	 tagged as @item in the source, and are therefore not added to the 
#	 inventory of the Acolyte.  (I will be adding support for defining 
#    supplemental equipment later.)  ON THE LIST TO FIX
#
#  o For starting equipment, only grants Qty 1 of items regardless of what the
#	 background text might say.  EXCEPTION: Always grants 20 arrows or 
#	 10 torches when the item is spec'ed in the background.  (So far, these 
#	 are the only exceptions I've encountered in backgrounds.)
#
#  o At least one background (Archaeologist) grants ONE tool proficiency, but 
#    it is from a choice of two options.  I don't yet handle this - and any
#    .mt file generated will not work correctly.  ON THE LIST TO FIX
#
#  o At least one background (Far Traveler) requires a Tool Proficiency choice
#    of Musical Instrument OR Gaming Set.  I don't currently handle this and
#    the output .mt file that is created will NOT work.  ON THE LIST TO FIX.
#
#  o Backgrounds that have 's in them don't display correctly in the list
#    when selecting a background.  Everything prior to the 's is dropped.
#    As a result, choosing these options results in the matching macro to
#    not be found.  I have a query out to Rod re: whether I can solve this
#    by better string quoting.  I'll wait to see if this is a bug in the FW
#    that can be fixed.  If not, the only solution will be to manually rename
#    things to avoid use of 's.

Re: Rod's D&D 5e Framework

Post by Rukbat »

FIrst of all, I would like to thank you Rod for making this framework, it looks great!

I have been able to mass import spells with the Import function. I'd rather not share my file as it is not SRD-compliant, but there is nothing against sharing the method I used!
I first exported the spell list from maptools to see the format they needed to be in (I know nothing about java, I should mention).
I then downloaded the complete spellcards from dnd-spells[dot]com, pasted the text from the pdf into a txt, and with some regex magic in notepad++ formatted them as needed, including the dice roll macros.
Tips: there are some " in the text of a few spells that will need to be escaped. Also I first put in all the \n signs and then did a mass unwrap text (using the TextFX plugin). Last but not least, the whole thing is too big for the import box and it crashed maptool. I had to import one spell level at a time.
This took me a couple hours, but some of that time was wasted figuring out why certain sections would not import (because of the unescaped " in the text).

Now I would like to import subclasses and backgrounds. I started with subclasses and the artificer by pasting them into the "Classes" bit and hit a snag. While the link to their entries were created in the library, no macro was created in the tables lib, and if I click on the new entries I get this error:
Unknown macro "Path of the Ancestral Guardian@Lib:Tables".
Unknown macro "Artificer@Lib:Tables".

I am trying to create new NPCs from scratch using a token, but if the variant rules option is checked, normal features (the ones that go with the feats field) are not shown and are entirely replaced by the variant rules. Not sure whether this is a bug or intentional?

Well, I have finally finished editing my collection of SRD monsters for this framework, though I can't seem to be able to import more than one at a time.
Of course, that could be caused by a buggy one in the mix.

Anyway, I'll post it here, hope it can be of use to someone :mrgreen:

BIG BIG WARNING:
Do NOT paste the whole thing into an import window. It will likely crash your Maptool.
(That happened to me when I tried to mass import my spell list, which was a little smaller.)
I wanted to divide it into manageable chunks, but actually my maptool is not letting me import more than one monster at once. It's not crashing, but it just won't do it. And I'd rather not create 320 files, though other users are welcome to do so if they have the patience. :mrgreen:

Disclaimer: to speed up the process, every stat block has all the options ticked (such as Damage Resistance, etc.). They can be turned off manually from within the framework.
Dice rolls and spell links that I have tested worked, there could be the odd buggy one in the mix, but they should work. Of course, the spell links only work if you have the spells loaded and with the exact same title as mine, but they should be easy enough to correct if your spell list is different. (and let me tell you, I thoroughly regretted the decision to include full spell links about halfway through, but I decided not to quit and here we are)

what i did was cram everything in excel, clean it up and then created json code to in excel and copy pasted the lot in a macro: run that and voila, you have a complete library. Here's the file as reference:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b441wgxmwre1v ... .xlsx?dl=1
have a look at the tabs like: weapons, armour, talents, etc.

Fixed a couple of json issues in Rukbat's excellent monster library. You should now be able to import the entire json file into Rod's beastiary library. :D

Re: Rod's D&D 5e Framework

Post by OokOok »

This PowerShell script will convert the entire 5etools item files available in the downloaded 5etools source into a JSON string that can be directly pasted into the Import field of Rod's item database. The two files are in the data subdir. I was able to fully convert and import 777 items with full support of all layout features. I did not hyperlink spells or monster, although that wouldn't be that hard to do. I've commented the code so you can hopefully make whatever changes you want. My recommendation would be to run the program twice with these args:
Import-Equipment base $true --> cut/paste the contents of the output file into the FW, then repeat as follows:
Import-Equiment all $true

This will convert all NON-WONDROUS items, which I think are best left out of the FW inventory. You can introduce selected wondrous items as needed. (Passing $false will also convert wondrous items.) You can optionally add a 3rd argument matching one of the acceptable itemType values. For example, adding WD as a third arg would convert ONLY wands. Here are the acceptable type codes:

Code: Select all

Types:
	$		Treasure				
	A		Ammunition					
	AIR		Vehicle (air)				
	AT 		Artisan's tool				
	G		Adventuring gear			
	GS 		Gaming set					
	HA 		Heavy armor					
	INS 		Instrument					
	LA 		Light armor					
	M 		Melee weapon				
	MA 		Medium armor				
	MNT		Mount						
	OTH		Other						
	P 		Potion						
	R 		Ranged weapon				
	RG 		Ring						
	S 		Shield						
	SCF		Spellcasting focus			
	SHP		Vehicle (water)				
	T 		Tool						
	TAH 		Tack and harness			
	TG		Trade good					
	VEH		Vehicle (land)	
	WD		Wand


Note that magical items are often NOT tagged as wondrous. So even with the $true flag you're going to get a LOT of magic items. I suggest looking over the output and deleting the ones you don't want prior to importing to the FW.

Note that the items schema is the most complex in 5etools. You can't just export item JSON from 5etools, which only exports a subset of what's needed. An item might need access to several different JSON structures, including baseItem, item, itemType, itemProperties, and/or itemTypeAdditionalEntries. 5etools only downloads the baseItem or item table entries. So if you want to import your own homebrew items you'll need to study the data files distributed by 5e tools and structure your JSON like that. (It may be easier/faster to hand-enter your homebrew rather than try to coerce it into acceptable JSON.)

Code: Select all

param(
	[string]$itemList = "all",			# Spec whether to import "base" (aka $baseFile) or "all" (aka $allFile)
	[string]$noWondrous = $false,	# if you set this to $true, no Wondrous items will be converted.
	[string]$typeFilter = "" 		# you can (optionally) spec an item type to output only those finds of items.
									# for example, adding "HA" will output ONLY Heavy Armor.

)

if (($itemList -ine "base") -and ($itemList -ine "all")) {
	Write-Host 'Missing itemList spec: your first arg must be either "base" or "all"'
	Write-Host '	"base" will import the contents of $baseFile, while'
