Titan Network Presents: Titan Sentinel

Posted

For the past week or so, I've been dropping hints about some awesome project I've been working on. Ever wonder what I've been up to? Well, this is it! On behalf of Titan Network, I would like to announce our latest application: Titan Sentinel!

Titan Sentinel is an online character tracking tool that is officially replacing Glycerine. You can use it to track your character's statistics and Badges on City Info Tracker, but there's more to it than that! Here are some of the hilights:


Brand New Goodness

I'd normally not bring something like this up, but it deserves clarification: Titan Sentinel is 100% original work, not a derivative of HeroStats. If you have technical questions or suggestions, report them to Titan Network directly, since we're the ones who can make the best use of your feedback.

Giving credit where credit is due, though... We wouldn't be where we are today without the ideas and innovations of HeroStats, so I think they deserve a big round of applause from all of us.


Built-in Self-Update Feature

All of the information the tracker needs to retrieve information on your characters is stored in an external file, meaning you won't have to download and install a new version every time City of Heroes is updated!

  • Tracking information is stored in an separate file to promote flexibility.
  • Automatic updates keep the tracker ready to go without any user interaction.


Improvements Over Glycerine

Titan Sentinel sports a few key features that give it an edge over Glycerine. Among the big sellers mentioned below, you can also look forward to the following:
  • Native executable: Titan Sentinel is faster and more efficient than Glycerine because it runs as a native program.
  • Powersets are now tracked, meaning you won't have to assign them manually in your City Info Tracker character profiles.
  • Alignment is now tracked, so as soon as City Info Tracker's upgrades are complete, this piece of information will be available.
  • Side-switchers can now track Badges correctly. Even if you have a Hero archetype tracking the Spider's Kiss Badge, it will work just fine.


Tracking Badges with the Personal Info Window

Tired of /settitle binds? Set title no more, as you can now track badges with /info_self (or /info with nothing targeted if you prefer)! Simply load up your Personal Info window in the game, and all your Badges (no matter how many you have) are instantly tracked and ready to be recorded on City Info Tracker!
  • Throw away /settitle binds forever. All badges can now be easily tracked using only the tracker.
  • Track all of your badges instantly with a single slash command.


Character Build Exports

You've asked for it, and we've delivered (not that the one necessarily led to the other, mind you, it's just that both halves of that sentence happen to be true)! With the click of a button, you can turn the character you're currently playing into a data chunk build export for use with Mids' Hero Designer!
  • Export your current character's build for use in Mids'.
  • Inherent Fitness is already supported, even though Mids' itself isn't ready for it yet!


Go Get It!

Sound good yet? Head on over to Titan Network and grab it for yourself!

Note: Windows 7 and Vista users will need to run this program as administrator.

To paraphrase The Incredibles:

That. Is. AWESOME!

Edit: i just used the build export utility to export the build for my heavily IOed Dark/Ice Defender to Mids'. It was a build that i did entirely in my head and as i leveled up that i was quite happy with. For over a year i'd been telling myself i'd get around to copying it to Mids', and now it suddenly became trivial.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

I think I need a lie down. This is fantastic. My thanks go to everyone involved; you've really outdone yourselves.

Edit: I just used it. I'm loving this good. The build export and badge updating via /info make me smile. Very, very nice.

This is so awesome.

Aye, that we do, even though we don't do much solicitation. (Believe me, we hate spam and ads as much as everyone else does!) It's at the bottom of our home page. We use the funds to offset the hosting cost for the Titan Network sites. Although we may very well have to pitch in now to get GuyPerfect a headset so that he can talk to us during the meetings...


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

This is win just for the export build feature. Do you guys have any plans to integrate this with your online planner?

I don't understand the first post, but if it actually contained the phrase "export build to mids" I may have blacked out in reading it.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I can see why the devs scrapped the City Vault - you guys are eventually just going to make it for them for free, aren't you?

They practically have. I think all that's really missing is a way we can post builds to our character pages. Other than that, I'm not sure how much more can be added.

Edit some more!: or upload costume files! That could be so epic.

Then they just need to get that mac version out of the door.

QR: One thing i have noticed on a quick check is that TO's dont seem to be picked up when i did a build rip. Strangely enough though, on my L50 which has a mixture of IO's and SO's.. the SO's were picked up.

Only thing i have noticed... but apart from that.. I am still recovering from the shock of how awesome it is....

I've found that as well, and that the gamestop pre order special IOs don't show up either. (Not that they appear to be in mids at all at this point...) Even with that, this is SO MUCH of a time saver....

I also had one time when it couldn't access the clipboard. Don't know if I was going too fast, or if it's because I had *just* loaded one into Mids. Now I've been saving the just loaded build in mids, clearing, and haven't had a problem since.

With the sweat on your brow still fresh from all the hard work everyone put into this most awesome feature ever, now might not be the right time to start asking whats next. But, if you someday full fill my next request, I guarantee you I will force the next person who posts after me to have your baby.

I realize there would be multiple babies involved, but I wouldn't make each of you share one baby. Full fill my request and I guarentee the person who posts after me will have a baby for each and everyone one of you.

You Get a Baby
You Get a Baby
Everyone Gets a Baby

If you ever build a system that lets me export the contents of base storage into a system similar to mids, the next poster after is going to be so busy dropping babies.

*If you are the unlucky poster after and Titian develops a base storage exporting system, you better start getting every beverage you drink delivered unopened and still in the can, you better start preparing your own meals since I plan on slipping a baby seed into your food and your gonna have a whole litter of babies grow up in your tummy.

Titian ever makes the system I want Shadow Fate, you are going have a whole litter of Fionna Apples



Don't worry Shadow, she looks pretty thin, I'm sure you could have a litter of 8 or 9 and it wouldn't force you to buy any bigger pants.
