RealmWorks CSV Import Tool

not if there is a redirect problem though, right? Anyway, right clicking is a work around, easy or not as one might think. Wouldn't you also have to copy 100's of URL's?

The redirect problem was fixed in v1.17 :-)

copy-and-paste in a single CSV file when the basic format of the URL is simple (such as the traveller map) is a lot quicker than open web page, copy link, select topic in realm works, press button to paste picture in edit mode, save topic.
 
Just used this tool for the first time the other night. Very slick. I was able to load some 5K spells into RW. Took a while to process that many rows of data, but it did. I am going to attempt the Feats list I have next.

I'm curious to know, are you creating the CSV files by hand?
 
Coming out of a set of Access db's I was originally using to do some other things that kind of went on semi-permanent hiatus.

They're a collection of spells, feats, magic items and monsters I'd been collecting from various spreadsheets and form data entry into them.
 
Hello all,

Version 1.18 has just been released that allows you to input the True Name and/or Other Names for a topic from your CSV files.

The really good bit is that you can set up several different "other name" configurations for the various flags on a name, and then assign a different CSV column to each configuration.

This means you can set up a CSV column for Revealed other names, and a different CSV column for still-hidden other names. The generated import file will ONLY contain the true/other names for the CSV cells which are not blank (so you won't end up with a blank revealed other name if that CSV column is empty).

(The correct install file is around 33MB in size. For a few minutes the wrong installation was on the web site that is only around 20MB in size.)

Any chance we can drop one of the columns as the parent item?

For example if my CSV is for Weapons and I want the parent to be Exotic, Simple or Martial from the file.

Also, Would like to generate a single file for multiple csv files.

Spells, Feats, Weapons.
Currently I need to generate 3 rwexport files, one for each and then import each one input my realm

What is your app written in? I'm a C# developer and would love to contribute to the development.

Hi Joe,

I will add your ideas to the list, both will require some thinking about to avoid the interface getting too complicated.

The application is written in C++ using Qt as the GUI framework; all developed with their Qt Creator IDE.
 
Version 1.19 of the tool has just been released.

This release allows you to create more than one parent, based on the unique values found in a single column of the CSV file. Each row of the CSV file will be placed as a child of the parent which has the matching value for the parent's CSV column.

Now you can group all your spells according to school, or all your weapons according to type.

(Don't worry about the slow turn-around, it only took around 2 hours.)

Wow, I start to think that this can be used soon to import a lot of text passages.
I didn't download the latest version yet, is it possible to set the "flavor" status? (Its not really that important, Iam just using it frequently)

Is it possible to set the desired flavor in the category definition?

If so, then you can set this up before exporting the structure file to be used by the tool.

If not, then I'll have to add it to the CSV2RW tool.
 
I don't think you can set up different flavours in the categories. I am setting it always when I add a snippet to a topic - choosing one of the available flavours.
 
Version 1.20 has just been added.

This version allows you to specify more than one level of parents for your topics.

This means you can arrange all your Traveller universe planets under their sub-sector category, and then group all sub-sectors below the appropriate sector category.

Or you could arrange your spells by subschool beneath a school topic.

Also, icons have been added to the buttons to make it pretty, and to help users understand what each button will do. The generate button is also disabled until both files have been loaded.

(There was some work done behind the scenes to move towards making it easier to support multiple CSV files as part of a single export file; but more work is required.)
 
A quick turn-around to version 1.21

This version adds the ability to set the Snippet Style on each snippet.

Hopefully Acenoid will like it :-)
