Creature Exporter for MasterPlan

An AddIn for Masterplan for those still using it to DM D&D 4th Edition that will export all the creatures in an encounter into json format to allow them to be easily imported into Roll20 or Foundry VTT

Written because I am running a 4th edition game and want to do my plannning in masterplan but get my monsters easily to roll20.

As Masterplan is sadly gone from the internet, along with all its offical documentation, this project owes a huge amount to the blog: http://paigew.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/creating-a-masterplan-add-on-part-1/ which is the last remaining documentation on how to write an AddIn and even more to the coder guillaumejay. Guillaumejay replied in the comments to that blog post with a link to the sourcecode for the AddIn they wrote using it.

This code was based off a copy of Guillaumejay's Compendium Import that they put here: https://github.com/guillaumejay/CompendiumImport which was a huge kickstarter in project setup and using the API, without which it would have taken me forever to get started.
So please - always post thank you comments to blogs with examples of how you used them! 1. it makes blog writers happy and 2, you never know who will find your code years later as just the thing they were after!

Installation

Head to the Wiki Documentation for documentation on how to install and use for the various VTT's that are supported.
