Further Notes on CMP to RSRD Migration, part2¶

Page 2¶

Apologies for the formatting, this probably needs tidying up...This really is just a cut and paste from a scratch file I used whilst converting data Some of this (most?) is possibly done by PrettyLst (I wasnt using the right options initially!) Much of it was just notes I'd made as I manually updated some files, and possibly prettylst now does a healthy chunk of the below.

Several of these commands are search and replace regex expressions for VIM (my editor of choice), the concept should be clear though as to the intent (on every line, search for 'foo' and replace with 'bar'), and updating to your editor of choice. I copy the line from the scratch file, and in vim, press ':' to enter command mode, and then just paste and hit return.

Section 1¶

replace % with %% in descriptions

Willpower - replace with 'Will'

ADD: can't be used more than once per class line, so split it into two lines. I.e

1ADD:feat1ADD:feat2

becomes

1ADD:feat1

1ADD:feat2

Cannot have commas in names, just remove them/replace with a space.

Section 2¶

Above are confirmed as necessary following proper prettylst conversion, below still need to be validated.**

Spells File¶

changed all to .mod other than specific few (20 odd non-srd spells) note - we only really want the descriptions, not the mechanics..

changed all to .mod note - we only really want the descriptions, not the mechanics.. ExtraTurning - CHOOSE: nochoice Typo???!!!

# note - need BOTH of the following, first one splits, second one cleans %s/HITDICE:[0-9],/HD:,&HITDICE:\tHITDIE:/ %s/,HITDICE://g or just remove it completely... %s/HITDICE:[0-9],[0-9]*//g

No Longer using HITDICE, please remove and just use MONSTERCLASS

Typically replace 'Heavy blah' with 'blah (Heavy)' etc.

if you use linux, or have 'cygwin' installed under windows, you can run a bash script to do some extra conversions - note that some of this may be unnecessary as PrettyLst may fix it)

<<--start of file

other manual changes:

WEAPONPROF:blah to : BONUS:WEAPONPROF:blah AUTO:WEAPONPROF|Longsword|Rapier|

BONUS:ToHIT|blah to BONUS:COMBAT:TOHIT|blah

ADD:FEAT|(blah) ADD:FEAT|(blah) to ADD:FEAT|2|blah,blah

Note that LANGBONUS (and potentially others?) take pipe (|) separators in one file but comma separators in others.

Further note that there are various typo's, particularly in 'DEFINE' variables.
