    Can 4E monsters be imported from the adventurer tools like the plays can from the character builder? Or is there another altrnative to adding monsters besides manually?

    An importer for the monsters from adventure tools is in the works. Please stand by.

    Due to personal issues I have not made any major progress.

    It is on the top of my list of things to do though. My apologies.

    This didnt seem to be included in the latest version (at least that I can see), is this going to be released as a plugin, or included in the next version?

    Any idea on an ETA?

    Thanks

    Well right now we have to see what WoTC is going to do with everything. Currently they have things all messed up. We are in a holding pattern until they can get stablized with the ability to export the xml from their current version.

    Ahhhh, I didn't realize they were planning on going to full online so quickly! (According to the WOTC forums they plan to have the beta up by the end of the year, along with the 'export' option of the Character Generator. I'm not holding my breath, and even if they do get a beta up, I doubt it will have an export feature.)

    Thanks for the quick reply, and I love that I can hide my monsters HP from the players in 2.3! :D

    On a related note:

    The "online" character builder doesn't support house rules or custom equipment (for that matter, it doesn't even support all of the "regular" equipment either).

    For the time being, I am sticking with the last working "offline" CB.

    Alternately, I might bite the bullet and get all of my characters properly formatted in HL and skip the CB process altogether.

    Well, the latest WOTC CB update's export feature seems to work fine with importing to D20pro, I guess that's a step in the right direction!

    I plan on experimenting with having all my players log into my DDI account, and use the CB as their character sheets, and re-import them every session. This has the added benefit that they can level up their characters on their own time, and not hold up the game while they are researching what powers to choose.....I hope it works....

    I have a question about Adventure Tools.
    I understand the stance you've taken about waiting to see what WOTC is going to do with Adventure Tools and going online with it, but for those of us that are not going online with them can you reconsider your stance.
    For example the the Old CB, I use it and I love the fact I can import into D20 with it. I don't have any complaints even if it becomes no longer supported it makes my life easier.
    And to be honest with you, I'm not going with them online with the Adventures Tools either, so is there any way you could go ahead with the Adventurer Tool importer and if you decide too that this will no longer be supported, I honestly dont care it makes my DMing easier.

    Thanks for at least listening to my request

    Well, WotC didn't change the export format from the old to online CB, so there is a possibility that the new Adventure Tools will follow suit (I won't ponder on the likelihood).

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the new Adventure Tools won't have an export (or it will be something they will add later).

    I tested the new CB and exported a character (a knight) and it worked fine. I'm not holding my breath about the monster builder though.

    Been awhile so I thought I would ask

    So will there be a importer for the new monster builder?

    So, now that the WOTC OMB finally has an export feature, and it seems to be the same file type as the old monster builder, any plans on continuing work on a 4E monster importer for d20Pro?
