    Yeah, but by postong on the Titan Forums, I am more likely to see your issue and comment on it rather than trying to filter through 500 different posts all across these forums.

    If you have UAC turned off you do not need to "Run as Administrator." Auto-updates work for nobody. Basically the auto-update feature is now used to notify you if there is a new update. Mids' purposely broke the code for the auto-updater so it could not be used because of UAC.

    None of that matters anymore. Check out this post for more information.

    Mids' 1.7.0.7

    Get it here.

    As always, after you download the new version, RIGHT CLICK ON THE FILE AND RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

    Mids’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.7 DB v17.90417– May 2010

    Game Build
    Power database in line with game build 1800.201003300904.10T4 (Issue 17)

    Changes & Updates:
    • Fixed version issues that was causing false update flags
    • Fixed a bug in Mastermind Patron pools that would not allow the last power in the set to be selected if only the first two powers were taken
    • Fixed bug causing new Defender Vigilance to not work correctly

    Known Issues
    • Ninja Run does not display correctly for Kheldian form powers. Ninja Run is replaced with a form inherent power.
    • The powers obtained by Dual Pistols > Swap Ammo, do not apply any effects to Dual Pistol powers.
    • Diminishing Returns for PvP mode have not yet been added, all buffs currently show their full, unmodified values.
    • The Power Graphs for the current build do not display effects for pseudo-pet powers like Ice Storm. This does not affect the Powerset Comparison, which is now fully aware of pseudo-pets.
    • 60 Month Vet reward button not added. This means taking a Tier 3 travel pool power at level 6 or higher is automatic for everyone. You need to know whether or not you are eligible for this reward or you must take your travel power at level 14 or higher.

    Thanks for the update. Quick question: when I fire up Mid's, I see that the database version date is 3/5/10. Is that the latest? I uninstalled the version I had before and installed 1.706 (MDXSetup1-706.exe). I've installed it on my Win 7 system with Run As Administrator.

    Thanks in advance and great work!

    FF
    3/5/10 is UK format for 5/3/10. Since Mids' is from the UK, this was the format that he used, and we just stuck with it.

    No, you can not use the auto-update. This is due to UAC in Vista and now Win7. You will have to download and install the new verisons. They will actually overwrite your existing install so an uninstall of the old version is not necessary.The auto-update is now basically there to let you know there is a new version.

    After you download the file from Titan Network, right click on the file and select "Run as administrator". That should take care of that issue.

    For real?
    That is the build for the game, which we use for Mids' so everyone knows what build the program is designed around. If you have an issue with a few numbers, take that up with Paragon Studios.

    Edit: Also, when you copy/paste, be sure to paste the rest of the relivent info..... "Power database in line with game build 1800.201003300904.10T4 (Issue 17)"

The installer is labelled as 1706 but running the program reports 1.704. Am I doing it wrong here somewhere?
    No you are not doing anything wrong. For watever reason the version nubmer in the program didnt change. Correct data is more important than correct versioning. To bypass this issue click Options > Configuration > Updates & Paths > UNCHECK "Check for updates on startup.

    Got the new version uploaded. Vigilence is fixed along with a couple other bug fixes.

    Head over to Titan Network to get it.

    LOL.

    On a side note, in this newest version, in my insanity of trying to get the blaster and troller numbers fixed, I forgot to double check to make sure the new vigilence was working correctly. It wasn't, so when I get to work, I am gonna roll up a new install and get that out.

    Sorry for all the problems with the I17 realease(s) everybody, Steiner and myself ran into a lot of stuff that we weren't really expecting. We are determined to make sure you guys (and gals) have a quality program with correct data and information.

    I only have one question (out of curiosity). Do you have a plan on how to add diminishing returns for pvp? Because even the pro players who pvp all the time with the combat monitors on don't have a clear idea on how much anything gets DR'ed in pvp.
    DR is a work in progress. As of right now, there is no clear-cut formula to figure DR. There have been some ideas posted, but nothing concrete. This is something that I really want to get implemented into Mids', I just don't know when it will happen.
  11. Be sure to tell your friends.

    This is a known issue and is listed in the patch notes.

There used to be a problem with Mids installs where they would override the PvP/PvE setting and set it to PvP. It didn't do this on my install, but it might have on yours.

    Another possibility - if you have build up turned on (small green dot on the right hand side of power listing) it's damage boost will be applied to all powers in the power info display.
    The modifier table seems to be jacked up for Blasters and Controllers. Therefore, all powers for those 2 ATs have wrong numbers across the board. We are aware of the issue and currently looking into a fix.

    You have to select a T1 power AND a T2 power in order to unlock the T3 power. You can't select two T1 powers and then select a T3 power.

    BTW two things I noticed so far:

    1) HP set bonuses are bugged. For example, Luck of the Gambler is giving 778 HP on my fire/kin (I believe it was 1/100 of that before). I think this applies to +maxhp powers too. Earth's Embrace activated on the fire/kin shows that he goes from his 'base' 9k hp (9k because of the bugged set bonuses) to 45k hp.

    EDIT: This seems to affect controllers and blasters only - I tested making new ATs of almost all of them (except VEATs and EATs) and the bonuses seem normal. The +maxhp Blaster power Hoarfrost is also affected.

    2) On the same fire/kin my def was 45.2% to s/l and now it shows 49%ish, I couldn't find what was changed. My /SR, /nin and /shields toons show the same defs they had before.

    Hope this helps!
    Hmmmm, I will take a look and see what is going on.

    Look at the post from Zombie Man that is directly above your post. Also, updating through the actual Mids' program does not work. When the update window comes up it tells you to go to then Titan Network homepage to download the new version.

    Up in the right hand corner of the window, click on "Pop-Up: Off". Clicking it will switch it to on so the pop-ups will be back.

    Mids new version

    Just so you know, that release is going to be outdated as of tomorrow. Keep an eye on Titan Network for some exciting news.
  23. That was a big waste of time. I'm glad all the important questions that people asked got answered. You know, like the ones about when is I17 being released, I19 being released, and stupid **** like that.
  24. Thats fine, since I hate all the PvEers and RPers.
