| So, I need some help now. WotC announced that the DDI online tools are going away at the end of 2019. And I want to get as much of that content off it as possible! With Silverlight going away, it is also difficult to even use anymore, too. I have an active account that I'm willing to share with anyone willing to help. So, we have a bunch of different sections to get offline. The best way I can find is to use a virtual printer program and "print" the pages as PDFs and save them to your computer. So, if you can help, post and pick a section to work on.
We need a browser that works with silverlight and a Virtual Printer program. here are what I have so far...
CutePDF for Virtual Printer
A member of my Online D&D4E group has a browser he uses for this. I asked him for the info and haven't gotten a response yet.
I'm gonna set up a dropbox folder thing to dump stuff into and I'll link it once ready.
Backgrounds- Character Themes-Done Classes- *Companions&Familiars- Creatures- *Diseases- *Epic Destinies- Feats- Glossery- Items-Generic Fighter *Paragon Paths- *Poisons- Powers- Races- *Rituals- *Terrain- *Traps-
So those with a "*" are the ones we should prioritized for this. I hope we can get this stuff offline! Thanks:)

| I don't know if my DDI subscription is still active, but if it is, I've already got the CutePDF printing extension (I use it as part of producing my Ruins & Realms playtest PDFs) so I'll help if I can. | |

| Okay. I found the browser and the version that worked. It is SeaMonkey version 2.46. Thanks for any help you can give. LMK if you need an account and I can send you the info for mine.

| I heard about this from a friend. It is sad that they are ending it, but there is a portable 4e rules compendium. | |

| Update... I'm just about done with the traps. For speed's sake I'm saving them as entry numbers (they can be renamed later) since the browser defaults to trying to name each entry "D&D Compendium - Traps" when you run it through the PDF converter.
After Traps I'll be headed for Diseases as that's another category that's rather spread all over the place. Monsters and character build related items are my last priority since all the character stuff and most of the monsters can be found in the CBLoader version of the offline character builder and the DMTools monster builder. | |

| Okay, I have the diseases (69), traps/hazards (631) and terrain (145) entries from the compendium.
I can cut and paste the player-side stuff (races, classes, feats, backgrounds, themes and items) from the CBLoader version of the offline builder at a later point and I believe the offline monster builder has everything up to Darksun, so if anyone’s going after other areas I’d say Dark Sun and Essentials monsters would be the priority for scooping up from the Compendium.
I’m basically out of time due to New Year’s family obligations, so good luck to anyone else doing this. I prioritized things harder to find elsewhere, hopefully someone else can snag the rest. | |
