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.
Quote:St0n3y,
Its a minor issue but both web sites still have May 4 as the date, even tho they have the version (1.706) right.
LewisCheck out this post for more information.

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.
If you have any questions/comments/concerns/bugs, please report them at the Titan Forums. -
Quote: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.Hi St0n3y,
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!

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. -
Quote: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.Getting the following error when trying to install ...

Quote: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.Love the app, but does this program have so many builds it warrants a build number tree such as:
*build 1800.201003300904.10T4 (Issue 17)
For real?
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)" -
Quote: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.The About information from the program is showing that it is version 1.704, on the latest download. Is this right? I uninstalled it completely and reinstalled it and got the same thing, and I am still getting the updater message that there is a newer version. The installer is labelled as 1706 but running the program reports 1.704. Am I doing it wrong here somewhere?

Quote:Got the new version uploaded. Vigilence is fixed along with a couple other bug fixes.Mastermind Patrons still seem.. not quite right; the last power will open up even if none of the other patron powers have been selected by level 47. The other Mastermind patron powers seem to be working correctly as are the other Patron and Epic powers as far as I can tell.

Head over to Titan Network to get it. -
Quote:LOL.Dude. That could have come straight out of BAB's or Castle's posts. You're channeling a dev with that "Soon(tm)" talk.
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. -
Quote: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.That's just great. Stalker fix yay!
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. -
Quote:This is a known issue and is listed in the patch notes.Another bug I found: When I make a PB or WS and select a powr at level 1, I get Energy Flight or the WS TP power, which is correct.
However, when I choose my level 4 power, the flight/tp power HEATs get at level one are replaced by Ninja Run.
Check out this post for an update Mid's for I17 with new and improved bug fixes. -
For those that dont venture to the General section of the forums, here is my post for the new version of Mids' for I17.

This update took a little longer than we had hoped for, but here it is.

Quote: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.Is your mids in PvP mode? One of the buttons in the upper right hand corner sets this (Mode: PvP/PvE, Recipes: Off/On and Pop-Up: Off/On are the 3 buttons). I can't get your exact value to show in my copy but in PvP mode I show 796 base damage for unslotted pistols, 1552 fully slotted. 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. -
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.

Quote:Hmmmm, I will take a look and see what is going on.Thanks St0n3y!
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!
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. -
Quote:Got it. Thanks for the catch Zombie.Great work! Thanks!
(Now, update your download page to say it's I17 compliant. It still says I16 compliant.)
-
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.
-
Steiner deserves a BIG thank you also. I am not the only one that works on this great program. If it wan't for Steiner, my work would not even be possible.

For the first time ever, Titan Network is pleased to bring you a Mids' update on the same day as it's issue release.
Get it here.

Just so you know, that release is going to be outdated as of tomorrow. Keep an eye on Titan Network for some exciting news.

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.

Thats fine, since I hate all the PvEers and RPers.
