Notebook in the screenshot

Is it possible for you to share a copy of the notebook you have in the screenshot with a page for every monster for download? I own the books legit but I've been putting off making my own notebook like that because it's a lot of work

Unfortunately, i dont really share out my personal notebook due to piracy concerns, coupled with the fact that oneNote pretty liberally plasters in your personal information. That said, there is an SRD oneNote notebook that exists as a good starting point here (its what i started with years ago): http://www.cryrid.com/digitaldnd/

 

Also, if you have PDFs of the supplements you want to add, you can very easily insert them in to oneNote as a printout (just make sure to turn on the option to make each page of the PDF its own oneNote page), and then you just have to manually rename pages. The inserted PDF pages are printouts (basically images) of the PDF pages, but they're still text searchable.


Additionally, i've been considering coding this extension to allow for the import of lion's den 5th edition apps because i know a lot of poeple use that as a backup format for D&D related stuff (and i believe there are potentially less than legal-ish copies of official stuff shared online) and coding it to insert oneNote pages into your notebook. That's actually on my to-do list right now, because i've started updating some more functionality on this plugin recently, as i've had a chance to return to it some.

Yeah, I totally understand piracy concerns, was just hoping to save myself some work. Its great that you're coming back to this and Iook forward to what you come up with.


I wish wizards was better about formats people could legally buy the books in, I can't stand dnd beyond and would love for them to release high quality downlodable PDFs and epubs

hey there.

So I went ahead and prioritized adding in XML parsing in order to populate oneNote pages. Would you be interested in beta testing the functionality? It works out fine for me locally, but I wanted to get someone else to test it before I considered merging it into a release candidate.

If so, you could PM me on Reddit if you use Reddit, I'm /u/eerongal and I can get you a development build.

Hey there, i didnt see any response to the above question. Did you have any interest in testing out this functionality? :)
