Description

Hello folks!

Thanks again for the wonderful code you have created! The ability to use it on linux makes me most happy, far too many things are windows only.

My party is getting into late heroic, so I just imported all the level 11 monsters from the insider compendium. Of the 199 level 11 monsters, 198 imported without issue. The Doppelganger Infiltrator failed, with error "Failed capture of 'moster' with id=5566".

I don't see anything on the page that looks like it would be a problem (as as the case with warerat filth fever a while back), but in 3 attempts, 2 with auto capture on and once with a manual capture I wasn't able to get this particular monster.

I can live just fine with 198 of 199 level 11 monsters, I'm just letting you know about the error in case the info is helpful.

Thanks again for VCC!

I checked the entry in question and the problem is the power:

Change Shape (polymorph) At-Will polymorph

The second polymorph is the culprit. This seems like a manually edited entry with the keyword in the wrong place. I wonder if this is the only case or this is something more generic.

I managed to import this entry after using the Firefox Firebug extension to remove the extra keyword.

I will have to investigate if this is more pervasive or if it's a one off. I'll investigate a way to get this work-around.

Title:Import of Doppelganger Infiltrator fails» Capture fails to read power usage with text in description
Version:1.7.1» 1.7.2

With the implementation of #123: Import creatures from D&DI Adventure Tools you now have an option for importing this entry. However this issue is similar to the Kobold Slinger "Special Shot"

Since this problem is a bit more pervasive, I'm going to tackle these issues since the affect both the web capture and the .monster import (which share code).

Fixed the over strict reading of At Will and Encounter power. Still evaluating the error on some monsters (that are either correct on the Adventure Tools).

One such cases is the Cloaker Lord. It does not import, and the version on the Adventure tools does not have an aura.
