Warmachine Card Creator V4

... And now there's a V4!

Changes from V3:
  • It is now possible to overlay and independently position multiple background images when loading images from URLs.
  • There is now and option to flip the small data box alignment. It will be automatically set to run left-to-right if there are more than 6 stat blocks.
  • It is now possible to have up to 7 model or weapon stat blocks if the life bar is hidden.
  • Numbers have been removed from health boxes, although they can still be added back manually.
  • The mini spell box now resizes automatically.
  • Added file upload options for background images, profile images, and icons since local paths don't work unless running the web page locally.
  • Replaced "import/export" options with single card/all cards JSON options (more future-proof as it only saves data, so more likely to be able to import the data in the future).
  • Unit health rows can now be hidden.
  • The unit health area is now raised if the fluff box is hidden.
  • The fluff box and unit health area are now raised if profile image is hidden.
  • Can now have up to 8 model health bars in unit health box.
  • Increased size of model name boxes in unit health area.
  • Added a more efficient font to save space in some fields.
  • Added an importer for importing data directly from the app.
  • Rescaled card elements and added an option to set the page size to try to make printing easier.
  • Added an option to scale up the warbeast damage spiral.
  • Added a separate colour control for damage boxes.
  • Automatically shrink ability text to fit available area.
  • Replaced base size icon with a text field next to the name.
  • Increased number of health boxes in life bar to 30.
  • Fixed some display issues.
  • Added the ability to print hardpoint option cards.
