Not sure if this is bug or I haven't got an option switched on by when slotting sets the box that used to pop up showing the combos (ie Acc/Dam, Dam/End etc) and the set bonuses don't seem to show up anymore.

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

Came here to post this, tested specifically on a DP/Traps corruptor. The problem seems to only appear in Level Up mode. Workaround is to change to Dynamic mode, place the next power, then switch back to Level Up mode.

Thanks for your hard work on this program man, I'm sure I speak for many when I say it's really appreciated.

Very nice update. Thanks!


Just wanted to point out that Shield Charge for Brutes/Tanks still doesn't display damage, and the Scrapper one displays the wrong damage. Minor thing.

edit: Error: Damage listings in Info tab for DP attacks are adding the fire+cold+toxic to the base, showing the sum of all.

Edit: Turn on pop ups in top right

Ok, just thought it was missing all together as I noticed it in the drop down, but wasn;t displaying once it was elected. Thanks for the heads up.

Is anyone else having a problem where all resists are showing at 40% as a starting base?

You are in PvP mode - which is the default mode. Top right hand corner there is a little button that says Mode: PvP - just click that once

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!
I had the same error and found another workaround. Instead of choosing Swap Ammo, choose a different power, then place slots for whatever power you'd want to slot next. Remove the power that was chosen as a placeholder, and now replace it with Swap Ammo. You should be able to continue as normal from this point.

Level 50 at last:
VICTORY HEROES: Stonefall (Grav/Kin/Psy), Earthwave (Earth/Rad/Fire), Nae'bliss (Invul/Fire), Paradox Black Omega (Kat/Reg/Weap)
PROTECTOR VILLAINS: Ba'alat (SS/Will/Soul), Mechalomaniac (Bots/Dark/Soul)

I found to get past the Swap Ammo issue

Click it to Dynamic Mode, Add 2 Slots, then Swap it back to Lvl Mode. It will work then

Nice stuff. Let nobody say Stony isn't on the ball with Mids updates.

I like the update.

I do have one request though, St0n3y. Is there any way you can make Mastermind -> Traps -> Detonator show the damage it does? It technically "grants" the bomb ability to a minion, and there's no way to show the hard numbers OF the bomb ability.

Ok so I searched and I can't find anything on this anywhere on these forums or the Titan ones - having a weird error when trying to open builds using Dual Pistols. Two (DP/energy blaster and DP/pain corruptor) give me 'Unable to read data - unable to read beyond the end of the stream' and the other gives me 'Unable to read data - Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow' (Kin/DP defender, originally saved as Kin/Ice then changed when the update came out, possibly the reason for the different error message but I dunno why.)

Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it? I tried redownloading and reinstalling the program, and it worked fine until I closed and restarted it. Then I started getting the same errors.

I've downloaded this and tried on two different pc's, following an uninstall, but I always seem to get a 'default' resisitance of 40% before even selecting any powers.

Previously an uninstall would cure this but not this time it seems.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Amen. That's always been rather annoying.

Also, EAT's semi-break the window, in that I cant see the damage bar, even in fullkscree mode when the little window in the bottom left is fully open. This is probably due to me having a widescreen monitor, but it is fairly irritating =/

Thanks for the update.

I am having a couple of issues with it, or maybe with my memory.

1) I used to be able to get a pop-up when I hovered over powers. This pop-up would tell me what set bonuses were possible, and the best part is that the set bonuses that power has would be highlighted. Is that turned off by default? How do I turn that back on? I'm just not seeing it in the configuration options.

2) I'm having some kind of font weirdness. I am in 2-column power view. I am in PVE mode. I am in Dynamic mode. If I do File->New, my 2-column view ovals for power selections are pretty large, exactly how I like them (and how I'm used to them). When I select a power from my primary, the ovals and the font gets smaller. When I then pick a power from my secondary, the ovals and the font gets smaller again. Thats as small as it gets but its way too small for me. Is there some way to change that or is it a bug?

Thanks,

Lewis

Agg,

Thanks for the info about #1.

Do you not experience the same as I do for #2? Or do you simply not know what to do about it?

Thanks,

Lewis

Thanks for the update!!

The Swap Ammo bug isn't an issue for me, as I always use Dynamic mode. I pick powers first, then place slots.

I would like to have an option to either have the "classic" blue/red backgrounds, or the new black background. Personally, I don't like the black background.

Someone mentioned icons for the save files. Dunno what they look like, as I created my own icon long ago. I use the AE Customizer badge as the icon for the shortcut, and I use the badge with the gold border & the half hero/half villain icon for the save files.
