Select the token (or tokens), type '!hl-import' into the chat window, and press enter. Repeat steps 1-4 on new tokens, if you want to import multiple files at once. Paste the JSON text into the GM Notes on a token you intend to use for the FIRST character in the XML file (if you're importing more than one). Go to 's XML to JSON converter, and convert the XML to JSON (paste the XML into the field on the left, set the result mode to 'text', click 'XML to JSON', then copy the text from the text field on the right). Open the XML file in your favorite text editor that isn't WordPad, MS Word, or any other word processor (I recommend Notepad++ ) and copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C, for the shortcut-impaired). Usage: Export the character (or characters) as an XML file in Hero Lab (File -> Save Custom Output, choose 'Generate XML File'). I should mention that due to the API environment not including the XML DOM parsing part of the JavaScript language, I've opted to convert the XML to JSON first, rather than trying to hack together a way to process the XML as text. Since the only script for importing Hero Lab characters hasn't been updated in over a year (not to mention the link to it is dead), I've been working on my own script to import characters into the Pathfinder character sheet.
