Hi Guys, Thanks for being patient with this, it appears I didn't copy a handful of files over and there was a slight discrepancy between my local server and the live one. However this has now been resolved and it's all working correctly once more (I've done a load of live testing). I've also fixed a problem where the Google Authentication didn't always tell the Warscroll you were logged in - if you are logged in you should now always have "Save to Server", please shout if you don't. Frustratingly any lost warscrolls have gone the way of the dodo I've just tweaked the routine so that if something goes awry on the server it will no longer remove the local copy. On a positive @Bowlzee I did have a Blood Warriors warscroll I'd done which I've copied over to you.

Nuts. I'll have to look at this in the morning if that's OK?

Well there we go - at least the first part. The website should now allow you to sign in with Google and subsequently change the "Save to Local Storage" button to "Save to Server". Any local warscrolls will be available, but the first time you edit/save them they'll be moved over to the server storage instead. I'll likely investigate proper offline access at some point in the future (I want to for another project anyway) but this could be a little more challenging as I'll need to handle conflicts and such like. I've tried to keep the above bits simple as I've never played the Google API - please let me know if there are any problems!

Sounding like save to database with an option to save PDF to drive may be the best option. The "file" I need to save is going to be a raw data file so not much use to share "as is" if that makes sense. This would allow you to directly share a PDF via drive. Saving to database would also make it a bit easier with sharing as you could share a link to a warscroll which you could then edit/amend without breaking the share.

He's not released for a couple of weeks - first chance will be the AoS Open Day

Think I've managed to crack the Google log in (though not uploaded any changes yet). Currently unsure if it's best to save Warscrolls to your Google Drive or to a local database... Any preference - only disadvantage of using Google Drive is that it'll be completely private to you, whereas a local database has a bit more versatility for sharing or similar.

Lol, no worries. I only know as I needed to pick one up a while back

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Citadel-170x105mm-Oval-Base Here you go It's the Imperial Knight sized base I believe. However I think the 160mm round is actually a better choice due to the overall size of the thing

This was pretty much confirmed during the FW Open Day, there will be daemon primarchs designed outside of FW. Reading between the lines this means they'll be handled by the main studio (highly likely in plastic) which in turn means they'll have rules for 30k & 40k in the same way that the contents of the Calth boxed set does.

Cool - I'll have a look into how to integrate Google login I'm always cautious about FB as I always feel it contains a lot of private information! Don't think I'll have much time this week though as I'm rehashing the mobile website for the company I work at (flipping working getting in the way of fun things). In theory it's entirely possible, would need some form of cleverness to work out page breaks (which I need to work out for the warscroll tool too). Deployment zone is actually easier than it seems as I've extracted out a plain "board" from somewhere so it's just a matter of overlaying the coloured zones in whatever configuration you fancy. Another thing I'd love to do is to combine the data from Scrollbuilder and the printable PDF GW have produced. Would mean that we can quickly spit out a nice looking army roster.

Mispelled! never Quietly goes and corrects thanks

Hi all Was just having a think about the best way to tackle Warscroll sharing. My original thought of a copy/paste link isn't going to work very well, with just some filler text the "optimised" link is around 1800 characters long So I'm thinking about alternatives. One option is a "free-for-all" that simply saves the Warscroll and gives you a link. All well and dandy but you'd have no way of ever editing it and it's always open to abuse... Another option would be to allow you to log in using Facebook or Google, and your Warscrolls are saved alongside your login. Not everybody has FB or Google though and some people (e.g. me) are quite apprehensive about signing in on an insecure website for what is in essence a novelty. I could hook registration into my blog - so you could sign up there but it means another account in a world where every website needs a different log in. Final option would be to enter your e-mail address and get sent the sharing & editing link (or something along these lines). This would actually be the easiest but would people be happy at doing this? Again there could be questions over data entry security. Thoughts? Happy to take suggestions too!

Nice! Quite curious about the free mini - I actually hope we don't find out until it arrives through the door if I'm honest, there are times where I miss that "wow" moment from finding something out in a magazine for the first time.

Here's how it's currently formatted. This hooks in with a fuzzy lookup routine which provides the autocomplete functionality { "ga": { "chaos": {"name": "Chaos"}, "death": {"name": "Death"}, "destr": {"name": "Descruction"}, "order": {"name": "Order"}, "scenery": {"name": "Scenery"} }, "matched": { "leader": {"name": "Leader"}, "behemoth": {"name": "Behemoth"}, "artillery": {"name": "Artillery"}, "batt": {"name": "Warscroll Battalion"} }, "allegiance": { "khorne": {"name": "Khorne", "ga": "chaos"}, "nurgle": {"name": "Nurgle", "ga": "chaos"}, "tzeentch": {"name": "Tzeentch", "ga": "chaos"}, "slaneesh": {"name": "Slaneesh", "ga": "chaos"}, "skaven": {"name": "Skaven", "ga": "chaos"}, "zharrgo": {"name": "Zharr Goroth", "ga": "chaos"}, "build": {"name": "Building", "ga": "scenery"} }, "faction": { "bloodbound": {"name": "Khorne Bloodbound", "allegiance": "khorne"}, "slaves": {"name": "Slaves to Darkness", "ga": "chaos"}, "rotbringer": {"name": "Rotbringer", "allegiance": "nurgle"}, "tamhorde": {"name": "Tamurkhan's Horde", "allegiance": "nurgle"}, "mastclan": {"name": "Masterclan", "allegiance": "skaven"}, "pestilens": {"name": "Pestilens", "allegiance": "nurgle"}, "verminus": {"name": "Verminus", "ga": "chaos"}, "eshin": {"name": "Eshin", "ga": "chaos"}, "skryre": {"name": "Skryre", "allegiance": "skaven"}, "moulder": {"name": "Moulder", "allegiance": "skaven"}, "legazg": {"name": "Legion of Azgorh", "allegiance": "zharrgo"} }, "unit": { "bloodletter": {"name": "Bloodletter", "allegiance": "khorne"}, "plaguebearer": {"name": "Plaguebearer", "allegiance": "nurgle"}, "horror": {"name": "Horror", "allegiance": "tzeentch"}, "flamer": {"name": "Flamer", "allegiance": "tzeentch"}, "daemonette": {"name": "Daemonette", "allegiance": "slaneesh"}, "dogre": {"name": "Dragon Ogre"}, "duardin": {"name": "Duardin"}, "ogor": {"name": "Ogor"}, "trog": {"name": "Troggoth"}, "gargant": {"name": "Gargant"}, "greyseer": {"name": "Grey Seer", "allegiance": "skaven"}, "skavwar": {"name": "Skaven Warlord", "allegiance": "skaven", "faction": "verminus"}, "warlocken": {"name": "Warlock Engineer", "faction": "verminus"}, "packmast": {"name": "Packmaster", "faction": "moulder", "tags": ["hero"]}, "plaguepriest": {"name": "Plague Priest", "faction": "pestilens", "allegiance": "skaven", "tags": ["priest","hero"]}, "skaass": {"name": "Skaven Assassin", "faction": "eshin", "allegiance": "skaven", "tags": ["hero"]}, "bahai": {"name": "Ba'hai", "allegiance": "leg"} }, "tags": { "hero": {"name": "Hero"}, "daemon": {"name": "Daemon"}, "monst": {"name": "Monster"}, "wiz": {"name": "Wizard"}, "human": {"name": "Human"}, "mortal": {"name": "Mortal"}, "celst": {"name": "Celestial"}, "totem": {"name": "Totem"}, "priest": {"name": "Priest"}, "mach": {"name": "War Machine"}, "crew": {"name": "Crew"}, "dragon": {"name": "Dragon"} } }

And re-releasing too - gutted I missed getting one at the time

They're in a bizarre JSON format currently, I'll post up what I've got so people can see how important tackling it I'm currently toying with the thought of pre-populating all of the Warscroll names with keywords but not sure if that would be useful or crossing the line on IP?

Very quick update (managed to knock this out in my lunch). I've branded up the web application with 'unofficial' and a GW disclaimer as I realised I'd not done it (and don't want to get in trouble after all). I have also implemented the initial part of Keywords! This is currently quite limited and you can only select from my pre-defined list which is exclusively Chaos at the moment. I have added in some advanced pre-population however - for example if you select "Khorne Bloodbound" it will also add the Khorne and Chaos keywords I think I've managed to get everything worked out for Chaos but it'll need the other GA's added - of which I will likely need a bit of help. The new Generals Handbook keywords of "Leader" and "Behemoth" are there too. Have a play and let me know any issues. I know the display of the keywords on the Warscroll does need a little improvement

I fully expect a reboxing of Leadbelchers in the future. I've still got a box in a cupboard and quite fancy doing an army next year once they get updated (Chaos this year).

You'll have to pay for the full 20 if you're playing an "official" matched play battle. Of course you there's nothing stopping you and your opponent agreeing to split the points cost

And another update. I've added page margins for the PDF and added various graphics to make it look a little less like a dogs dinner. I've also properly fixed the abilities bug where they wouldn't reload from a saved profile. Abilities also display more like a GW Warscroll - so they're headed up with Abilities and each ability is inline with the descriptive text rather than a heading above it. Keywords are likely to be the next update as this will make the tool useful for games.

Just done a bit of an update, it's now possible to generate an A4 PDF page with a single warscroll on! This should be a pretty decent quality version (easily good enough to print out). I've added in a third of an A4 layout size. One pretty large "under the bonnet" change is I've modified the zoom component. Originally the card was rendered huge (300dpi) and then shrunk down (hence the zoom being at 30% initially), this didn't actually work when I joined it up to the PDF tool so I've had to reverse that and instead scale it up to 300dpi when I generate the PDF. The only thing you should notice is that the zoomer now starts at 95% and goes up to 150%

It's the Forge World Open Day on Sunday so I'm hoping I'll get the opportunity to ask them when points are coming

Likewise, the chance of loosing initiative (and thankfully lack of abilities that modify it) is one thing that adds a huge tactical element to the game. Play too cautiously and you may be on the back foot, play too aggressively and you may leave yourself open. One of the things that defines the game in my opinion

I'm hoping they might consider releasing PDF's for each of the existing Battletomes that contain some traits for those armies. It would at least level the playing field out and avoid people suffering from having an "old" army and mean they can focus on bringing out the new Battletomes

The issue with printing has now been resolved and everything should render nicely and print out at the designated mm size Printing does need some improvement which I'll tackle at some point - likely at the same time as handling multiple Warscrolls on a single sheet. I may add an A5 size too as that could well be quite useful. That said, that's all for another day - unlikely to do any further changes until next week now!
