Does anyone have advice? :?:
How are you importing the character? Are you using the Wizards summary? Make sure it has the full text of it - including the first line of characters.
Yes, I'm just using select-all to grab the entire summary. It spits out a level 1 commoner with 0 movement and correct HP and surge values.

Paste the character here in a spoiler tag. I've never seen that.

Possibly a dumb question, but are you using F4 first to set the token up for the FW before using F5 to import the character?

The only other thing I can think of is that "Feat User Choice: Implement Expertise (Orb)" looks unusual. I've never seen that in a character summary before. Is it an 'illegal' bonus feat (ie. does it mark the character as houseruled)?

Note the reference to 'Feat' in the error message. Maybe the framework parser gets confused by houserule bonus feats. Try removing that line from the summary and see what happens.

... whoops, I wasn't. It doesn't seem to be making any difference though.

And yes it is a houseruled in feat, but removing it doesn't seem to change anything.

EDIT: I just checked, and attempting to copy the character sheet out of the sample hero into a new token generates the same error.

It's a syntax error in the macro code. On Lib:RegExParser, in the macro "SummaryParser," the line

Code: Select all

   [if(!json.contains(ftnm)):revFeats = json.set(revFeats, ftnm, newFeat)]
should say

Code: Select all

   [if(!json.contains(revFeats, ftnm)):revFeats = json.set(revFeats, ftnm, newFeat)]

I have no idea why this hasn't cropped up before.

Oh, that makes sense. Um... how do I implement that change?

Find the Lib:RegExParser token (one of the main 6) and select it. Go to the selection window and find the 'SummaryParser' macro button.

Right-click it and choose 'Edit', then replace the text Rumble mentioned.

Just a link for the Custom Mods thread.

It's hard to see under all the stickies in this forum, so thought a mention in this thread might be handy :)

I am having problems with the characters skills page does not want to save. I mark the trained skills and then hit the save button. Then I get an errror message I press ok but when I leave that page and come back the information is gone? Any help would be appreciated. Outside of that I love the frame work Awesome work man thank you so much.

Just a couple random questions about power editing.

1. What is the 'no save' option for on condition duration?
2. How do you get the 'next attack' option to work and only apply an effect to the next attack and make it go away?

1. It's for things that have no way to save against them. I don't even know if there are any such effects in D&D, but I figured why not put it in there.

2. You can't. The "next attack" option is reminder-only; the framework doesn't check to see if you've made your next attack, or compare that to anything. You will have to manually remove those effects.

I reported a bug a little while back but I think it got over looked and lost in the forums but here it is again:

When a token has a BonusDamage condition, that damage is being applied to attacks that are marked as 'No Damage'
(i.e. I use a power to blind an enemy with no damage and I currently have a BonusDamage +2 condition, then the 'No Damage' power deals 2 damage.

I think an easy way to fix that would be to go to where ever the macro is for adding the bonus damage to damage dealt and just have it check to see if the power was no damage and if it is, dont add the bonus damage. Another way that might work, depending on how you have it written, is if your no damage macro just zeros out all the damage, you could just have it set the damage to negative of the damage bonus if there is one and then when it adds it in later it would end up being 0. Either way seems like a simple fix but you have so many macros it makes it tough to navigate it and edit your code effectively.

BTW, this framework is awesome. Thank You and good job.
I only have one request that I think would be a good addition to handle little things and add some customization. I have been adding code into the text boxes of powers for hit/miss/effect to make it so I can handle simple tasks that the framework doesn't cover (i.e. losing healing surges, applying auras/lights when you use the power etc). Only thing is that it gets tossed into the chat box with the normal description text. Would it be possible to just add an extra block on there for custom code that wont be displayed in chat? If its too much trouble then dont worry about it and Ill just make my players do that stuff manually if they dont like the code in the chat box :P

How do Ineherent bonuses work with magic weapons in the framework? In 4E they are supposed to overwrite, but the only way I could get a magic item to work in the framework was to disable inherent bonuses (these characters are level 2, so they don't have a bonus yet).

After disabling IB the magic item's enhancement bonus worked.
