Mid's Question


Aggelakis

 

Posted

Okay... I've been using Mid's for a while now, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Many thanks and bows to St0n3y & crew.

Sorry my search-fu is so weak, but I have a couple questions.
Most likely, I'm just missing something obvious...

1. I opened up an old file with the new download and Ninja Run was "not available"... got the answer as to why over in the discussions forums... SO, I opened a brand spankin' NEW BLANK file, but Ninja Run still didn't show up... What'd I do wrong?

2. When I try to add temp powers, all the vet powers are white. I can't add my Sands of Mu or Blackwand, etc. Is there a setting or some such that I need to fiddle with?

Thanks in advance

Do you have at least 1.6.something or 1.7.something?

Other than that, I got nothin'.

You don't get Ninja Run until level 4, did you put in a couple power selections?

The reason they are white is because they aren't powers that affect your character. If you click a couple of the yellow powers, then toggle on the "Temp Powers" field via the green dot, then you'll see that those temp powers will affect the numbers in the "View Totals" screen.

Hmmm... no, but I'll give that a try.

And thanks for the link, but I'm not registered with the Titan Network... personal preference.

You don't have to be registered with the Titan Network to look at their forums and check out the threads already posted there and the responses from the Titan team.

Nine times out of ten, your problem has been posted there and you can save yourself the effort of making a new post here.

Yeah, but by postong on the Titan Forums, I am more likely to see your issue and comment on it rather than trying to filter through 500 different posts all across these forums.

I think St0n3y is suggesting that it is much easier for him, as the "go to guy" for Mid's, to field usability question on his home turf, than it is here in the CoH forums.

Mid's is still a third party tool, AFAIK, and in not a Paragon Studios / NC Soft product, so it makes sense to ask questions at the source to get answers from the people actually working on it.

I was not looking for answers from St0n3y in particular... Though my thanks is definitely directed to him, the questions were open. I figured they were questions that anybody who uses the program might be able to answer.

This is where the general populace of CoH players come to ask questions. Since many players use Mid's, it's logical to come here to ask questions.

I prefer to come to these forums, because this is where *most* of the knowledgeable CoH players congregate. I do not care to run around to a bunch of different sites to find answers, when I can come to the one place where I know most everyone will be.

Why belabor this point?

It may be easier, but I'm with Impish Kat: Not a member of TN, and have no plans of ever joining. I tend to post my tech issues with Mids' into the thread(s) St0n3y makes here when he releases a new version, and hope that he at least sees my post.

That is exactly it Stalemate. The problem with posting Mids' issues on these forums is people create new topics for their issue and in different sections. It is easier for me to go to the Mids' section on the Titan Forums and look there at the posts when everything i need is right in that one location.

I do try to keep an eye on the threads I start since MOST people do post there if they have issues. The problems I have are when multiple new topics are created all over the place with questions that have already been answered or already discussed in the original threads, and new questions end up appearing in the new threads.

I don't mean to sound like an a**, but I have better things to do then fish through every section and multiple topics to find problems.

I was reading into your statement an attitude of "my time > your time" and "help me on my terms, not yours" which is something I face daily as a sysadmin and work hard to curb.

My apologies if that wasn't your intent.

May CoH players also use the Windows OS, yet there are more specialized places where official support can be obtained, like, say, from Microsoft.

I see your point, but as St0n3y implied: if you're looking for answers from the people in charge of Mid's, going to the official source is ideal. You'll get answers to your questions here as well. But personally, I prefer to consult the official sources with 2-3 more mouse clicks.
