Yay new Mids, thanks Stoney, and everyone else involved. I really appreciate your work on this. I feel lost without at least a basic plan in mids. Testing dual pistols felt strange without any way to even look at it in mids.
I hate to bring up bugs so soon, but I am having a problem with ninja run. I noticed NR and Rest don't show up until you place a power at level two or higher, which makes sense I guess. This seems to me to be a new feature of this build and I think it is related to my problem.
If I load a saved build from the previous version that has all it's powers placed Ninja Run doesn't show up, and there seems to be no way to force it to. If I load a saved file that has open power slots NR will show up, but if all power slots are filled there's no NR.
Removing a power and re-selecting it doesn't work, and neither does removing a power, saving and reloading.
The lack of NR on a build with all it's powers seems to be related to Mids not recognizing that the build has "leveled" past 2 already.
Edit to add that Rest does show up on a "complete" build when NR does not. So maybe it's not just based on the level 2+ flag, or whatever it is.
Regarding this new Update (and i also downloaded it from the CoH Titan network too) every time i try and update it, it comes up with an error message saying "Mids' Hero Designer has encountered a user-defined breakpoint" and i'm running it as administrator (i have windows 7) and was wondering if you know how to fix this.
Many Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the update, but I've run into a bug:
When you select the Swap Ammo power it immediately refuses to let you place /any/ new slots into /any/ power.
Also, if you first select a different power, add a slot to it, then deselect the power and select Swap Ammo instead, the slots remain.

I also noticed it defaults to PVP mode and Level-Up mode instead of PVE and Dynamic.

You have to run the file you downloaded from Titan. Make sure you have version 1.621. Once that version is installed you will be good to go. Also make sure your not trying to "update" through the Mids' program itself (IE: clicking yes in the update window that may pop up).

Edit: thanks for the quick reply
Thank you.

Someone mentioned they received a error when selecting Swap Ammo. I too have encountered the same thing. I'm going to lean to the side of it being a bug since its a new mechanic of Mids, and it was most likely overlooked.
Once you select Swap Ammo, it seems you can't add slots anywhere after that, nor add a new power. In order to work around this, change the type of build you are creating from Level Up Mode to Dynamic Mode, this is next to where you enter your name for the character.
If you use Dynamic Mode all the time, it won't be a iussue but for those who use Level Up Mode, like myself, after you choose the Swap Ammo power, change the Level up Mode to Dynamic, after you choose your next power, you can change the Dynamic Mode back to Level Up Mode and you are back on track.
It's a minor error, but very easily worked around.
Also, Stoney, on the Blaster Secondary, you are missing the Icon for Electrical Manipulation. Other than that, I haven't found anything else.
Keep up the great work!

oh, nm, just grabbing the fresh one from cohtitan runs it. mids has been getting really buggy with how it updates lately (before I upgraded to win 7 it would bug out with XP :/), but i guess that's to be expected with 3 different versions of windows people are running instead of just trusty old XP anymore.
The new install defaults you into PvP mode. Not a bug but wanted to make note of it in case anyone else couldn't figure out where those random resistance values were coming from.
Thanks for the quick update. This program makes the game much more fun.
Thanks, Stoney!

If anyones having any problems downloading either via the Mids updater or the titan network, dont click run, save it to desktop and then run it from there. I was getting a carpload of error messages, before saving to desktop and then running seemed to solve the problems.
Thanks much, Stoney, the work is majorly appreciated =]
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

I love the icons you made for saved builds. Nice to have something besides the generic Windows "I don't know what this file extension is" icon.

Also, thanks for the update. For me, this proggie is a "must have" to enjoy City of Heroes. I'm glad to see it continues to be updated and at the speed of the updates. Even with the bugs that crop up from time to time, I appreciate you guys taking the time and putting forth the effort.

I will make sure this is fixed in the next update. It should be PvE by default, but I plan most my builds for PvP which is why the flag was on by default.

Here is what everyone has been waiting for.
Game Build
Power database in line with game build 1600.20100114.7T (Issue 16)
Changes & Updates:
• Scrapper > Shield Defense > Phalanx Fighting – Corrected error with ranged defense not displaying properly
• Added Ninja Run
• Added Dual Pistols for Blasters, Corruptors, and Defenders
• Corrected error for teleport distance on Team Teleport
• Change made to GUI background color. Background for both Hero and Villain builds are now black
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.
The new installer can be used to over-write your current version of Mids'. If running Windows Vista or Windows 7, be sure to right click and run as administrator.
When you run Mids' it will inform you that an update is availble. If you have not downloaded the new isntaller from the site, then do so.
Edit: New version uploaded to clear up the constant notification of an available update.
