Mid's for I19 CRITICAL UPDATE

Well done guys, well done.

I'd like to add my vote of thanks. Keep up the amazing work!

Minor update:

The current development version of Mids is able to load up both I18 builds and unofficial I19 builds. Due to an error in the way the unofficial patch was implemented (namely when they copied the powers they didn't update the internal ID number so there are two powers with the same number and it gets confused), it won't read it properly though; instead, when loading up an unofficial I19 build, it will drop the bad fitness powers and load up the correct inherent fitness powers (it'll lose the slots and enhancements, so you'll have to readd them manually).

When you load an I18 build, it will load up exactly as now, except the Power Pool has been renamed to "Legacy Fitness". As soon as you remove the legacy fitness powers, it will add in the Inherent Fitness powers.

New builds, likewise, will use the Inherent Fitness powers unless, for some reason (like modelling an existing character you don't want to respec), you decide to give them powers from the Legacy Fitness pool, at which point it will drop the inherent ones.

As I said before, it is a priority for us to make the change to the new version as easy as possible, and I think we've pulled it off.

I just want to add my heartfelt thanks to all the folks involved in the Mid's project over the years.

I have derived many, many hours of enjoyment from that program.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Thanks for the heads up and all the work you guys put into Mids.

As another bit related to the unofficial update, and I assume caused by the same error, I found that if you revert to the basic i18 Mids, any build saved with the unofficial updates will have the fitness pool locked in as unchangeable. All of the powers show up as red and clicking them gives an error message about khelds and inherent powers.

Well, I am officially impressed with the Mid's crew on this one. Good job, guys. And I don't say this lightly.

I'd rather not bump an older thread concerning mid's, but I don't want to derail the discussion with a bug report. :3

Crab Spider Soldier's Frag Grenade is greyed out at level 18, and the only way to pick it is by selecting Arachno Soldier's Frag Grenade as a prerequisite... but if you then select the Crab Spider's version, the first is invalid, and if you try to deselect the Arachno's one, Crab Spider's Frag Grenade is in red complaining it can't be used that way ingame (although you can now put slots into it).

Oh, if you put in any power from your primary or secondary as the level 41 power, it will act as a prerequisite to unlock level 44 powers from the patron pools for Crab Spider Soldiers. Dunno if it's the same for other Arachnos Soldiers.

Awesome, just plain awesome.

Doing this many respecs is going to be tough. Doing them without a build planner: Truly inconceivable!

Yeah, thanks for your hard work. I don't think I could play this game without Mids.

What're the chances of Mids on Ipad? I'd use it more than any other app!

Just thought I'd ask... And hope.

In my opinion, complex programs like Mids' would require far too much effort to be worth the time to port/remake for a pretty rare system like an iPad/iPhone/Droid/Zune/Nintendo DS/XBox. If modern hardware makers weren't so blind, they'd make their systems support Java or Flash something else that's already cross-platform. I mean, come on. The iPad doesn't support Java, but my really old RAZR phone does? Boo, Apple. Boooooo. :P

Mid's doesn't even work on Macs, you're gonna need to get over that hurdle first I'd think.

Hey, this is completely unrelated, so I don't know why I'm posting it, but Titan Network's next project is being written in Java.
