Hi
Firstly, let me say that I am a long-time user of your sheets. I absolutely love them and always attempt to convert my friends. They are fantastic!

I was very happy to see that there were new versions of your sheets out at long last, and I dl'd them and am now merrily importing my characters. As I was entering in spells, I found that it would not populate data for spells from the Spell Compendium. I have that book enabled in the settings section (I have all sourcebooks enabled, in fact), but its spells will not populate and do not show up in the spell browser. Is data for Spell Compendium spells supposed to be there in this version? Or is its listing in the settings section possibly a placeholder for inclusion in a future version?

I only got started on adding the spell data from the Spell Compendium when I took a long break from development on the Spellbook early last year. When I recently re-started development, I didn't get around to completing the database. As such, only a few spells from the Spell Compendium are currently included.

To be honest creating the databases for spells, psionic powers, and other such detailed info are probably my least favorite part of development. It's simply transcribing from the books (shortening and paraphrasing where required), but doing so in a very strict set of rules. It's both tedious and boring. Ideally I'd love to find a way to mooch off of existing XML databases used by other programs/tools, but I have yet to do so.

Thanks for the positive comments on my products.

I dont know how helpful this is but OpenRPG has an xml library for 3e for spells, I dont know how complete it is but here's a sample:

Quote:

they also have ones on psionics, feats, divine spells, armor, and weapons.

like I said dont know if it helps, but I can email these or something if you want them.

Code:

<spell name="Resistance" memrz="0" level="0" desc="Subject gains +1 on saving throws." /> 
  <spell name="Ray of Frost" memrz="0" level="0" desc="Ray deals 1d3 cold damage." /> 
  <spell name="Detect Poison" memrz="0" level="0" desc="Detects poison in one creature or small object." /> 
  ...
  <spell name="Temporal Stasis" memrz="0" level="9" desc="Puts subject into suspended animation." /> 
  <spell name="Time Stop" memrz="0" level="9" desc="You act freely for 1d4+1 rounds." /> 
  <spell name="Wish" memrz="0" level="9" desc="As limited wish, but with fewer limits." /> 

they also have ones on psionics, feats, divine spells, armor, and weapons.

It's OK. If they're free, I'll check them out myself.

With the 4e character sheet I've been working on, I've designed a custom system and XML files. I may look to adapting it to run on the older 3.5e sheets, in which case the OpenRPG XML files may be helpful.

Thanks.
