Public Release

You can get the latest version here:
http://tenian.eugenez.net/Parser/4EParser_4_0_103.msi

I know it works with the MM3. I also ran tests on the original MM, the compendium updated a mass of data in the original MM. Much of it related to the origin/type/keywords of NPCs...and a lot of it seems wrong. Nothing I can do, WOTC needs to fix it.

Made a dent

I spent some time decoding the new NPC format and managed to get everything working. I also found and fixed some errors in older data sets (equipment wasn't showing up, historical notes were not being suppressed).

Now it's to the audit part of the process. Everything looks correct so far but the MM3 adds a pretty significant number of npcs. Also the update made major changes to the old data, particularly the keywords / origins changed significantly (check out the fire bat).


Also I was alerted to an error in some PHB2 powers, particularly the stupid Warden Wonder Twin powers where the paragon path name is included in the power name. I fixed this.

New Parser - MM3 support (pre compendium)

The 4.0.89 parser is out. It handles all the released MM3 content, but until the compendium gets updated and I can give it more MM3 data to process, I won't say MM3 is fully supported.

It can be found at the usual address

MM3

In addition to helping out with the Adventure workshop, I put some time into MM3 support. I haven't gotten around to handling the new mechanical format but I did get the Fluff format in place and support for Diseases that work on something other than Endurance (Meenlocks)
