Is there a reason I cant seem to open a lot of builds like the ones on the bottom of this page http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=135036 (when they have no data link to copy.) I get an error from cohplanner telling me "Error Downloading File!"

Because they are in improper format for these boards.

Well i hope there's an update coming for i16. At least an updated database would be fine if the new guy behind that doesn't have enough time for including everything like vet stuff, pvp IOs, etc...

Is there anyway to extract the correct format from them, or is it impossible to in any way obtain the build they're referring/linking to?

When I try open it it says "ExtractAndLoad Failed" (the header of the popup) then an exclamation triangle and "Unable to locate data header - Magic Number not found!" It says this on all 3 of files I was trying to open :/ |
I believe that the improper format corrupts the data and is therefore unfixable. So, unless you want to input the sets and slots by hand, you are SOL. But I could be mistaken.

This isn't quite true, if you fix the URL and then open it in a browser it will still work.|

Here are the steps needed to get them to work:
1. Right-click the URL and select "Copy Link Location"
2. Paste the URL in Notepad (or any text editor)
3. Replace all "&" with "&"
4. Copy and Paste the updated link in your browser
It's a bit of work, but the links still function fine after following those steps.
but what about the old files?

The only option is to load the file in the app, found here, and copy the information to a build in Mids manually.

I think the new version will be up to date. I am excited for this as well.

You're linking to information Stoney's unofficial patches to Mids'. Since releasing those, Stoney has been added to the official Mids' development team, who are currently working with Release Candidate 1.6001, which should become the official Mids' version soon. The release candidate should be up-to-date with the current build on the Test server.

how are we supposed to know this when the thread doesn't get updated? :/
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=8#post2229222 ...
and anyway, it seems to be blocked from being able to be downloaded even when I made a throwaway account for your compulsory registration...
Aye, something wrong with that link, FW.
Be well, people of CoH.
Well color me embarrased. I didn't realize the forum the release candidate was posted in was closed access 
I suppose you'll just have to wait until the RC version becomes the official version. My apologies for getting your hopes up.

The current version of Mids does not support the 60 month veteran benefit of 2nd tier travel powers available at level 6. I get by this by putting tp foe, flurry, or jump kick instead of the travel power since I don't usually take those powers anyway. I look forward to the continued maintenance of this fabulous tool.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
