The most recent update to Mids' Hero & Villain Designer is now available, with support for Issue 13!

You can get it from www.cohplanner.com or via the program's auto-update feature if you already have a previous version.

Please note that to install this new version, you will be prompted to un-install your old version first, as some of the changes to features and deployment may not behave as expected otherwise.

The Microsoft uninstaller is quite well behaved and should leave your saved builds right where they are, as it has throughout testing, but I still advise backing them up anyhow.

This release has a new default save location inside the current user's My Documents folder to be more sensible and Vista-friendly. It's recommended, but not essential, that you move your save files to there after installing.

The 120s duration is probably the 'NoPhase' power that is triggered when you use it to stop you re-phasing/hibernating too soon.

What's the name of the new directory for saving so I cna rename my My Documents/Builds folder and just be lazy before installing it?

They were appropriately appalled

They're now putting it all together.

with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

The new folder is My Documents\Hero & Villain Builds

Which, I admit, I should have made it use right from the start. Better late than never...

Perfect timing - I'm creating a new build for my character in my 'second build' to eventually move over to, and having access to the new enhancements and changes is perfect. It's appreciated, Mids.

But if you go into options you can set it where you want, a feature I am grateful for... I loath 'My this' 'My that'.

Also I want to change AM so that it imitates many Rads in one team, done everything I did in the previous version but not seeing any difference (I get the bar that shows how many stacks, and it adjusts the mez resistance but the recharge times aren't effected. How can I do this?


 

Posted

The way it decides on which effects stack is now automatic rather than manually set by a flag. off the top of my head, you need to set the power to scale, and then edit the effects of AM as follows:

Affects: Self
Effect Can Stack: Yes

The effect string should then have '(Variable)' at the end.

Many thanks Mids. This is a great tool.

Incidentally, the un-install wasn't visible in my normal Vista login. I had to switch to my local admin account. I can't remember if I installed it under the admin account in the first place. This isn't a big deal. I'm must mentioning it in case anyone else has trouble removing the old version.
