Thank you for sharing this! I've been using it for a while and it's kinda sad to see it removed from DM's Guild, but since it's available here, that worry is gone now.
Also, for anyone looking for Xanathar's import script, they are available at Reddit. You can either import all the materials or pick and choose the ones you want here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mpmb/

Happy New Year everybody. I'm anxious to see what version 13.0 will bring.
So for some reason my race keeps returning an error. I'm completely lost. JSConsole says it's on line 80, but that's just before "features":

Code:
/* -WHAT IS THIS?-
The script featured here is an explanation of how to make your own custom addition to MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools.
To add your own content to the Character Sheet, use the syntax below and save it in a file. You can then import this file directly to the sheet using the "Import" button and "Import/Export" bookmark.
There you can either import the file as a whole or just copy the text into a dialogue.
-KEEP IN MIND-
Note that you can add as many custom codes as you want, either by importing consecutive files or pasting the scripts into the dialogue.
It is recommended to enter the code in a freshly downloaded or reset sheet before adding any other information so that there won't be any conflicts.
*/
/* -INFORMATION-
Subject: Class
Effect: This is the syntax for adding a new race to the sheet
Note that you will need to define the race once for every sub-race (i.e. there is a separate entry for High Elf, Wood Elf, and Dark Elf)
For races that have variants, like the human, you can define a variant using the RaceSubList. Any variant defined like that will only be selectable through the "Racial Options" button
Sheet: v12.999 (2017-12-19)
*/
var iFileName = "Homebrew Race - Moonfolk.js"; // Optional; This is how the file will be named in the sheet if you import it as a file and not copy-paste its content. Only the first occurrence of this variable will be used

regExpSearch : /^(?=.*moonfolk).*$/i, //required; regular expression of what to look for (i.e. now it looks for any entry that has both the words "something" and "catlike" in it, disregarding capitalization). If this looks to complicated, just write: /something catlike/i

sortname : "Moonfolk", //optional; this is the name used to fill the drop-down boxes. If you don't include this, the 'name' will used instead

Or define a new source using the "Homebrew Syntax - SourceList.js". // This can be an array of arrays to indicate the things appears in multiple sources. For example, if something appears on page 7 of the Elemental Evil Player's Companion and on page 115 of the Sword Coast Adventure Guide, use the following: [["E", 7], ["S", 115]]
plural : "Moonfolk", //required; the name to use for the race when the plural form is used

speed : { //required; This sets a value for one or more speed modes, and/or a value to be added to a specific speed mode or to all speed modes // the attributes of this object can be "walk", "borrow", "climb", "fly", "swim", and "allModes"
// all of the following attributes are optional and you can add more ("borrow" isn't part of this example!)
walk : { spd : 30, enc : 20 } // the objects "walk", "borrow", "climb", "fly", "swim" are all the same, they are an object with two attributes, 'spd' for the speed in feet, and 'enc' for the encumbered speed in feet.

vision : ["Darkvision", 60], //optional; An array of arrays that each have a length of 2; This adds the first value of each array to the Senses field. The second value is the range in feet.

adv_vs : ["charmed"] // Optional; this is an array of things that the character has advantage on saves against. This is put in the field after the text "Adv. on saves vs. ", so in this example it would result in "Adv. on saves vs. traps and charmed"
},
skills : ["Arcana"], //optional; Skill proficiencies the race has. This line can be deleted if you don't have anything to put here. If the race doesn't give fixed proficiencies, but instead gives a choice, delete this line and use the line below, "skillstxt"

name : "Lunar Magic (level 1)", //required; this is used to identify the object, so must be an unique name
spells : ["dancing lights"], //Optional, but required if not including the "class" entry; If a "spells" array is present, all other objects will be ignored and only this list of spells will populate the list of available spells. each entry has to match the name of the spell in the SpellsList

Reading this, and finding the error, would be much easier if you post it somewhere that uses JavaScript syntax highlighting, like Gist.GitHub.com. That way, you would see that the " on line 59 are causing the issue. You removed the backslashes in front of the quotation marks that indicate feet.
You have:
Code:
height : " range from 5 to over 6 feet tall (4'9" + 2d8")",While it should be:
Code:
height : " range from 5 to over 6 feet tall (4'9\" + 2d8\")",Because the quotation marks signal the end of a string and when there is a backslash in front of it, they are 'escaped' as it is called, they no longer signal the end of a string.
Also, you don't have a closing curly bracket } for the "faerie fire" feature.
For making your code more readable and condensed, I suggest removing all the comments (everthing after //) and removing empty lines.
Also, you set 'prepared' to true while also setting 'atwill' to true. You can't have both, as 'prepared' adds a checkbox in the first column, while 'atwill' adds the 'At Will' text in the first column. They are mutually exclusive.
You don't need a sortname if it is the same as the name.
Your regExpSearch can be simplified to just:
Code:
/moonfolk/i,
You are using languageProfs wrong. It is a one-dimensional array, not an array with arrays in it. If the language is fixed, just write the name of the language as a string. If the language is a choice, you write a number of how many choices can be used. So you should make it:
Code:
languageProfs : ["Moonspeak", "Common"],I fixed your code and put it in a GitHub Gist here.

I guess you are referring to the scripts for PHB material found on the /r/mpmb subreddit? For any issues with it, contact the person who made those, which isn't me. Note that using the content of those scripts is a violation of WotC's copyright, so I can't endorse it at all!

So, now it is again here on ENworld and still on My Patreon.

Your regExpSearch can be simplified to just:as this will match if that one word is in the string. You only need the complex syntax if you want to match more than one word, in any order. One word can't have an order, so you can just do it like thisCode:/moonfolk/i,

Thank you! Ironically I think the error with the " was introduced when I removed comments.

Ugh. Silly wizards of the coast removing perfectly good things from their site...
Is there an easy way to edit/add things to the sheet? Like more skills to the list etc. if I have some home brew things?

You can modify almost everything on the sheet. Most of it using the import functionality. Check out the /r/MPMB subreddit and my GitHub for information. I would link it here if I want writing this on my phone.

Wow, awesome!
I am working on a new Wheel of Time group which would require some specific modifications. If it all works on importing, it should be relatively easy
Just need to add and remove some skills, change some spells, etc.
Thank you!

Huh? Microsoft doesn't own Adobe, how would they "retire" it? Please cite your source for this information.
Sorry, they're retiring use of it on Windows 10 devices.
That's a screenshot I just took, having downloaded and opened one of the character sheets in Reader.
If the picture doesn't work, here's a link to an article about it: https://www.onmsft.com/news/microsoft-ending-support-for-its-windows-8-10-reader-app
I'm not terribly well-versed in technology so maybe I'm missing something? Please lmk if I'm just being dumb lol

I can't read anything in the screenshot, but that might just be because I'm on mobile. The article you linked to is taking about the Microsoft Reader App. The sheet doesn't work in that app. You can open the sheets in any PDF reader, including the Microsoft Reader App and Microsoft Edge, but the sheets automation only works in Adobe Acrobat.
You can use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, for which the are no plans to discontinue as far as I know and even if there were, Microsoft can't stop you from installing the most recent version of it. You can get it here for free: http://get.adobe.com/reader
