Full Description

This extension enables the bulk import of story entries into Fantasy Grounds, using structured chapter formatting, list recognition, and advanced table handling.


How It Works:

• Each entry must begin with a chapter reference in this format: XX.XX Title
• All lines that follow (until the next chapter line) are included in that entry
• Paragraphs are created from normal lines of text
• Bullet lists are created using the • symbol at the beginning of a line
• Tables are added using the format: Table: Number Title
  ◦ Example: Table: 51 Crystal Nexus Effects
  ◦ Tables must have a header row followed by data rows
  ◦ Columns can be separated using tabs or two or more spaces

After import, right-click each story entry and select “Clean Up Text” to apply markup formatting


Image Link Detection:

• You may include image links that auto-insert as clickable buttons inside your story entries
• Image records must already be imported into the campaign’s Images window
• Supported trigger formats (each on its own line):
  ◦ IMAGE: Airship Deck
  ◦ Airship Deck.jpg
  ◦ Moon Ritual.png
• The importer will detect the image name, match it to a sanitized record ID, and insert a proper Fantasy Grounds image link
  ◦ Example result: a clickable link labeled “Airship Deck” that opens the image


Planned Future Support (if feasible):

• Rollable tables
• NPC entries
• Classes
• Races (Species)
• Backgrounds (Kits)
• Skills
• Spells


Vision for This Tool:

This tool is designed to allow you to take an entire book exported into Notepad++, make necessary edits, and paste the content into the importer—automating 90% of the conversion process.

As this extension expands in functionality, the price will increase.
