Any ideas where the import process might be choking? I thought initially it was the class id "Animal 1" but adjusting it to "Animal" or adding an "Animal 1" entry in the classes.txt didn't seem to help me out.

 

When I get home I'll export again and see if for some reason exports of non-standard or npc races (animals, whatever) have spaces/lines before the xml definition/prolog/whatever

No problems with standard PC chars/races.

Edit: No such luck. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something silly with my particular files.

 

Update: Found initial problem, found an unrelated problem

Found it, and the d20pro error message helped me hunt it down.

'1' is not a valid die, but '1d1' is.

Code:

<attack id='wUnarmed' name='Unarmed Strike' attack='-4' damage='1' critical='20/x2' multiattacks='no' class='light' equipped='' melee='true' ranged='false' thrown='false' finesse='true'/>

Updated damage to '1d3' and it works fine.

Of course, this could probably be fixed by not including unarmed attacks for this creature in Hero Lab, which would probably then not export an unarmed attack style, but having unarmed attack exported as a default is a good thing in most cases (pc's, npc's, humanoids, squids, whatever, heh)

Seems they just threw in a "1" because there was no die type associated with an unarmed attack for a no-armed creature.

A second issue was found while I was messing around with the imported weasel. Refer to the xml in the code box above, this one could be more critical:

Code:

<hero heroname='Sneak (Weasel Familiar)'>
    <keyvalue id='Size' value='Tiny'/>
    <keyvalue id='Space' value='3'/>
    <keyvalue id='Reach' value='5'/>

Seems that the "Space" attribute follows the d20 "round down" mantra, and rounds down to "0" for space. When you drag the creature to the map, it immediately disappears from view, an artifact appears off grid that looks a lot like the measuring line, and if you select the creature from the Roster view, you'll get a select animation centered on one of the corners of the space you placed it.

Since there's no space selection lower than 5 in the drop-down list (although creature successfully imported with a space of '0'), maybe round up space < 5 to 5? Seems the size attribute handles the icon size from there on out.
