Actors does not open. Spells and features bug

Issue #249 new
Kim Maninnerby created an issue

Hi, whenever i try to open some specific character sheets some doesn't open, and give an error.

I import characters from dndbeyond, with MrPrimate's muncher/character importer. Is it perhaps not compatible? Is there a specific importer that would work?
All the features of the characters usually ends up in the "Other" sub-tab.

The spells doesn't seem to have the right modifiers, such as some spells go on Dex rather than Wis.

Would it be possible to go through the program thoroughly via Discord? I really want to have it work as it is the best character sheet i have found so far.

Thanks!

    Yes, it’s quite possible that the importer is supplying character data in a format that obsidian does not expect, so it’s unable to open the sheets. If you attach your actors.db I can try to take a look.

    So I’ve had some time to look at this, and when I loaded up your actors.db, I tried each of the PCs in there and they all opened without issue. Are there some particular actors that you are having trouble with? Do you still encounter the issue if you disable all other modules except obsidian?

    With regards to features of the character ending up in the ‘Other’ sub-tab, this is because the default dnd5e system does not have a way to distinguish between the source of each feature, this is functionality that obsidian adds itself. The character importer you’re using would have to add that obsidian-specific data itself, but I assume it’s probably just targeting the default dnd5e system.

    I can’t comment on spells not having the right modifiers, I would need some specific examples to check.

    Would it be possible to see the icon of the items in the actors inventory?

    Yes it’s possible, but would add too much visual noise for my tastes. They could reasonably appear in the item ‘view’ box though.

    If you want to catch me on discord, you can find me on the foundry discord under the username ‘Kim’.
