... Heh-heh. Nice. But it doesn't display the name of the file that the string was found in! Which makes it pretty useless for Andargor. I propose: alias...

Hi Alnatrus, I've been working on my own format for the same purpose, finding Andargor's format close, but not perfect for computation. Unfortunately, I got...
I'm currently working on a D20 XML format to work with an online character generator for my website Roleplay Market (http://www.roleplaymarket.com). The format...
