Convert.dat — Name conversion table

Maps old (legacy) names to their current names so that older data still resolves when it is loaded. When a stored name has since been renamed, this table supplies the replacement to use in its place.

Convert data exists only as a base file; there is no user-file counterpart.

Data in this file includes

  • Data Domain — The category the mapping belongs to: parts, monsters, races, wizard spells, priest spells, extended monster data, proficiencies, or miscellaneous. Each domain is kept in its own section, so the same old name can be mapped differently in different domains.
  • Old Name — The legacy name being converted; unique within its domain.
  • New Name(s) — The current name or names the old name resolves to, given as a list. The list is usually a single replacement, but may hold several alternatives or be empty to mark a name that was removed with no replacement.
