How to Import XML Files

Fight Club 5
There are three different imports into Fight Club 5. Compendium files, including races, classes,
backgrounds, feats, spells, items, and monsters, are imported from the Main Menu. Notes are
imported from within a character. Characters are imported from the Create New screen.

You can also export characters in formats suitable for either Fight Club 5 or GM 5.

Compendium Files
To import compendium files, tap the
compendium icon in the lower left of
the main menu.

Tap the import icon in the upper right

of the compendium window.
Tap "Select File from DropBox".
Navigate to your file in the DropBox
app and select it to return to Fight
Club.

If asked if you want to replace

duplicates, select "Replace".

You will receive confirmation that

your file was imported. Tap "OK".
Notes
To import notes to a character, open
a character, scroll all the way right
to the Notes section. Tap the Import
icon. Thereafter, the process is
identical to importing compendium
items.
Importing and Exporting Characters
To export a character, tap the Sharing icon
on that character's portrait while viewing
the character.

You can select a format suitable for either

Fight Club 5 or GM 5.

To import a previously exported character

file, tap Create New on the main menu… 

...and tap Select DropBox file.

GM 5
GM 5 has three different import locations: compendium items are imported via the compendium
in the main menu, notes and characters are imported using the import function within a
campaign, and a rules reference/DM screen is imported from within that function.

Compendium Items
GM 5 imports items, spells, and monsters. You must import spells before importing
monsters, otherwise the import will fail and the app will crash. This is because monster's
entries include links to the spells used by each monster.

Begin by tapping the compendium icon

from the main menu.

Tap the import icon in the upper right of

the compendium window.
Tap "Select File from DropBox". Navigate
to your file in the DropBox app and select
it to return to GM 5.

If asked whether to replace duplicates, tap

"Replace".

You will receive confirmation that your file

was imported. Tap "OK".
Notes and Characters
Notes and Characters are imported from within a
campaign. Start by tapping the cog icon in the
upper right of the campaign screen.

Next, tap "Import".

Tap "Select file from DropBox". Navigate to your file

in the DropBox app and select it to return to GM 5.

If asked to replace duplicates, tap Replace. Your

import will be confirmed; tap OK to continue.
