A Coffee Tier Key

Hi Samuel, in the core settings screen Settings -> Module Settings -> DDB Importer -> Core Settings, does it show your connected to patreon at the bottom? ( feel free to reach out over Discord or DM if it's easier)

MrPrimate

Hey, I'm paid up for april but the module won't let me use the monster importer. Just says monster is patron only, but I paid on april 11th?

Samuel Murdock

that worked thanks

Luke thegamingkiwi

Is this using https://activate.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ or through the Foundry button?

MrPrimate

Hi MrPrimate I'm unable to auto connect to patreon and I'm unsure as to why?, I am still able to link it manually tho

Luke thegamingkiwi

samething s happening to me, i cant for the life of me get the extention. the manual works, kind of, but i am still unable to import character sheets, its beyond frustraiting

June Griffin

Huh! Try https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/761196994898165781/781176499155238942/manually-find-cookie.png

MrPrimate

When I go there, this is all I get on the page "AccessDeniedAccess denied.Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object." Actually if I use Chrome which I realized I'd probably need to, I get this instead... This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. AccessDenied Access denied. Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object.

Sorry, I hope this is the right place to ask about this, but, I had to do a big update of foundry and needed to apparently re-enter the cobalt code and for the life of me I can't get it to work. Went and installed the extension on Chrome, hit 'get cookie' and nothing seems to happen. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Bubbles

Weird, I did that but it didn't work at first...but I closed FVTT out and came back later and it now worked. Thanks for the response!

Brian Pritts

If the pop up remains open it should have a key in it you can paste into the field

MrPrimate

When I put in the key information and click detect patreon status, I am getting the authorization window, and then the "details have been sent to foundry" page, but the status in Foundry isn't updating, it just says "Not connected"...

Brian Pritts

Please update to the latest version of adventure muncher!

MrPrimate

I didn't know about the spreadsheet - but is this up to date? According to the sheet DOIP shouldn't have walls but for me they do when I import it without actors and journal entry pins. Using Version 0.3.4 And I did config reset but got the same problem with missing Actors - for ToA: "Gladiator, Fire Elemental, Goblin, Goblin Boss, Zombie, Skeleton, Allosaurus, Axe Beak, Poisonous Snake, and more to a total of 22 monsters."

Xoraliation

Can you try going to File -> Reset config and load your new config file in please they try generating DoIP and ToA again. If you have problems can you reach out on Discord and provide some screen shots of the errors. (Can you also let me know what version of Adventure Muncher you are using)

MrPrimate

The ones with missing walls and actors have likely not have them places, please see the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17b4jG2W521N_nFkE1jr2UGEjixHGjHGnEO9eSKhFmwo/edit#gid=190854504 I will check out the DoIP and ToA though as this has not been reported before.

MrPrimate

Tried uploading all adventures from DnD-B I own into my world and encountered a few problems - to compare: Lost mines of Phandelver: Worked perfectly Hidden Shrine of Tamaochan: Maps and Walls are there, but no Actors Sleeping Dragons Wake: Maps are there but no Walls and no Actors Dragon of Icespire Peak: Won't let me generate the file because "Rock Gnome Recluse" is missing - and it isn't Same with Tomb of Annihilation - can't generate a file because Actors are missing, but they all appear in the compendium I reuploaded the monster database today because I bought Dragon of icespire peak (+ additional adventures) + Tales from the yawning portal. Do i have to do anything else? I also generated a new config file.

Xoraliation

Fixed now!

MrPrimate

On 0.7.9 and the December key is returning unknown key

matt durham

Double check that the Cobalt Cookie is valid and that you have a patreon key inserted or your patreon account linked

MrPrimate

I might be too stupid... how do I sync back to dnd beyond? The option to update is grayed out.

Michael Andai

@Alkkor please reach out on discord

MrPrimate

I've used the monster importer successfully before, however recently I ran into a similar issue. I get the error "Indicate whether to send a cookie in a cross-site request by specifying its SameSite attribute", where it says to resolve the issue by "updating the attributes of the cookie" (SameSite=None and Secure). I'm not 100% sure if this is the issue but it does list the affected resources as dndbeyond. Furthermore I'm not sure how to resolve this if its an issue on my end. EDIT: I've managed to clear up that error by specifically allowing all cookies for dndbeyond.com, however I'm still unable to download new monsters, I'll look into it more later.

had this exact problem. gonna try this when i get home

Aron Hellsten

I was running direct off the .exe. When I logged in via my browser it worked perfectly. You mentioning F12 gave me the idea. Thank you very much.

Michael K

Sounds like it - things to check: - your cobalt cookie is set correctly - you clear any source filters you have set - when you run the Monster Munch process, does it generate any error messages in the browser console (F12) If you have discord it will be easier to debug via chat there. Thanks!

MrPrimate

Wow! I love your Importer - that coffee is on me! It imported 0 monsters. SRD has many, most with images, yet DDB Monsters is empty Am I doing something wrong ?

Michael K

Please Mr Primate, allow to use the function that import classes to Coffe Tier, thanks for the great job!

Newton Negri

Hi Federico, it's right at the end of the post! If you're on 0.8.8 of Foundry you can now link directly to Patreon and get a key that way, and of you've increased your tier you can find links here https://www.patreon.com/posts/45692991

MrPrimate

Goodmornig, i need new key please ^^

Federico Branduzzi

You can use one of the extensions (https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer-chrome or https://github.com/IamWarHead/ddb-data-grabber) or manually https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/761196994898165781/781176499155238942/manually-find-cookie.png

MrPrimate

How do you load valid Cobalt key

Gabe

OK.. had to do it manually (get the cobalt key from developer screen) once I found out how to do that in case anyone else has the issue.

Chris King

I tired this and it does not work. I struggled to get it to allow to paste anything in, then when I do it says key failure. It imports my character fine but the whole reason for paying for a patreon is to upload back to dndbeyond and this fails. I can see it linked my patreon but now the cobalt key fails no matter what I do. I have tried both chrome extensions to paste the key and no success. To be clear if I use the module to import my character again, it overwrites things that I have changed in Foundry from the source in dndbeyond. When I go to the Update DND Beyond option, it fails due to wrong cobalt key?

Chris King

Only when you want to update, once they are in Foundry they stay there.

MrPrimate

Will i need to put a new key in every month to keep my monsters, or only when i want to update my catalog? Great content btw, really love your software! :)

Bogdahn

Yup, Patreon will email you when I update the post!

MrPrimate

Will there be a new May key release for the coffee tier?

Martin Auclair

Yep it's in the works

MrPrimate

Any plan on automating this part of the process?

Curfew1103

You saved my evening sir :D

Marco Walz

Make sure your on the latest version - DDB changed some formatting last week which broke older versions of the monster parser

MrPrimate

So i did what you describe in your video tutorial but something seems to not be correct. I imported spells and items without any problem but when i tried importing the goblins it said that it parsed 1 monster but failed 3 and i only get the goblin commoner. Not sure if I missed something or not :) Help appreciated

Marco Walz

Can't wait to use this when I get home!

Logan Pawlus

Hi Stoet - it can be imported, so don't worry. Follow these steps: * if you've just purchased the book, and recently imported, then the data could be cached on the proxy server - check again in a couple of hours. * make sure you've not got any source filters set in the filtering option, * if you still can't import it, make sure you can see the monster in the encounter builder monster search tool on DDB https://www.dndbeyond.com/encounter-builder

MrPrimate

This is great, thanks! But I can't find the "Flind" monster. Is there a particular reason why it can't be imported to Foundry?

Stoet

Hi Alena, *removes previous note* sorry I didn't read the question properly! Ths is very odd - if you're on discord please reach out and I can have a look.

MrPrimate

I went to enter the key today and it seems as though I can't paste anything into the field in Foundry/Forge
