Redshift, did I read your post correctly, that you found a way to use Laridian bibles in Rapier?

Hi Walts,

I used this guide from crosswire.org, you'll need to reference it to follow my guide:

http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/index....vTools:Modules

You will need to do a few things to create an NIV or any other custom module:

1) get the full text of the Bible in your desired translation as a raw text file (use Google, or write a script to download from Biblegateway and parse out the raw text)
2) convert that file into the verse-per-line (VPL) format (I wrote my own and compiled using MinGW on Windows)
3) convert your vpl file into a sword module using vpl2mod.exe, downloadable from crosswire.org
4) create a .conf file for your module using the module-making guide's instructions

Sorry, I am not able to email the modules. Apparently there is some legal distinction between downloading the content for personal offline use and distributing modules to others, so yeah.

Hope that helps.
