Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.900

XP home SP3 updated fine here. Looking forwards to the Alpha Slot build!

PS: Kinetic Melee's Power Siphon doesn't seem to have a damage boost for the scrapper version, not checked the others. To-Hit is there, but other than that no effects are listed. Is this an issue with the power itself, or something that's been forgotten?

(Guessing that the way it applies might mean it's a little difficult to get it in properly.)

One question though? Why the prestige sprints? Anything you can do in them you can just do on the regular Sprint and switch ingame if you're using a different one. Too much Clutter IMO and it's just ugly, lol.
Probably because people slot them for different reasons (IE Stealth IO's) so may have more than one use for them... not sure really.

Grats! Thanks for the update.

Works fine on my Vista, xp, and Windows 7 boxes.

Also figured out how to get 187% recharge for my fortunata.

Thanks Issue 19!


Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!

EDIT: Also want to thank the Titan Network as a whole again, as it (and now with Mids 1.9) makes downloading and reworking builds stupendously easy.

If only the game developers made in-game respecing this easy.

Save the file from the Titan Network to desktop on Windows 7. Run install as admin. Leave it to work. All done.
That will cause the popups to never happen, and it will run without a problem.

Thanks much, guys, looking forward to the Alpha slot version

I have installed the new mid's but I still have to choose the fitness powers to get em on my build the only difference is the pool is now called legacy fitness?

You shouldnt have to. Remove all fitness powers from your build, and they should appear in inherents.

Also worthy of note, Crab Spider Frag Grenade is borked. I think its mapping of 'cannot be taken if you've taken Soldier Frag' got reversed or something, because its greyed out normally, yet becomes available when I take Soldier Frag. Which if I take it then bugs out Soldier Frag. Bleh.

Thanks for all of the work you and the team put into this! It is hard to imagine COH without this very valuable tool.

Like many others above, I was unsuccessful in getting the in-program update to correctly function. (Win XP SP3, program not in default location) I downloaded the installer from your link, and it worked perfectly.

I just had to add a couple of shiny pennies' worth of thought to this thread.

I diligently try to avoid assigning much individual credit to the folks at the Titan Network because I really want to build up teamwork and avoid making any one person's skull expand to a large degree. Still, I feel the need to heap high praises and compliments on two members that have been busting their collective butts the past couple of weeks, and that is Diellan and GuyPerfect.

Everyone probably is already aware of the Sentinel application that GuyPerfect released a couple of weeks ago. He's been almost the sole person leading that effort and discovered the mechanism by which the data is reported without having to parse out data that is, at best, ambiguous and difficult to get. It represents a significant evolution in our character tracking abilities.

Meanwhile, on the drop of a dime, Diellan took over another developer's project with very little background or graceful turnover. Not only has he come up to speed in an excruciatingly short time, but he's really owned the project, making significant improvements.

I just wanted to add my "Thank you!" to the chorus for both of these guys who have really stepped up to not just keep the Titan Network running, but add significant contributions!

BUG: The new version does not allow placement of Level 3 Enhancement Slots. In both Level-up and Dynamic mode, the lowest level slots that are able to be assigned are the Level 5 slots. I've tested this with new builds and legacy builds after removing the previously placed level 3 slots.

I've tested this with multiple ATs and powersets, and it appears to happen in all cases.

Thank you SO much for your work on this, guys!

Edit: also, when creating a new build, the slot counter says "67 slots to go". This drops to 62 as soon as a level 1 power is chosen.

Edit 2: Nevermind, downloaded an older version. I'd apparently downloaded a slightly older version from the site instead of from this thread. This bug was fixed (if anyone else is having this, use the install in the first post of this thread).

Precisely. I slot a stealth IO in my Prestige Power Slide, and it's nice to be able to place it properly in Mid's finally.

Bug Report
This bug existed in previous versions also, so it's not new.

The Requirements settings for Arachnos Soldier and Crab Soldier are improperly set with respect to Frag Grenade (Soldier) and Frag Grenade (Crab). The mutual exclusion of these powers is improperly coded in the database. Should be a relatively simple fix, especially for those people who know how to edit the database.


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Any chance you can add incarnate stuff to this? Its kind of hard planning defense capping builds without it.

From the very first post:

Greetings and salutations!

Issue 19 has come out this past week and, surprise, we've got a new version of Mids' for you. Sadly, we haven't implemented the Alpha Slot yet, but you'll be seeing that in an auto-update later this month. If you have your Auto-Update feature turned on, then you should already be getting the new version when you next activate Mids... Or you can choose to update from within the program. If you really, really want, then you can get a new install exe from the Titan Network.

First, thanks for the latest update!

Now, some feedback.

Meh. I'd like to see a way to turn these off. I only use them on one character, so they just take up room. Maybe make them a special Pool of some kind, so that they show up if you select them?

I saw that after the update, and I was excited. Then I tried it. The only version that is readable is the 3 Column Layout. The 2 and 4 Column Layouts become really small, making them hard to read.

Once again, thanks for the update.

I haven't updated Mids since Leandro's early pirate Fitness patch, since I just HAD to rebuild ALL my characters IMMEDIATELY upon hearing that it was going inherent.

Downloaded the new mids, it updated my previous version and opens all my characters. I do have to go in and re-place their inherent fitness slots, since it didn't read them from Leandro's patch, but that's no big.

Thank you so much! <3

Thanks so much for taking over on this project.

I tried to let it update from the i18 version, but encountered an error. So I went to the main site and reinstalled Mids.

I'll add confirmation that new builds don't have the option to apply level 3 slots.

Also, the new inherent fitness powers are labeled as level 3 but I believe they are awarded at level 2.

On none of the layouts (2,3,4 column) is the screen big enough to show the Ancillary Power Pools - either on 1920 x1080 or 1680x1050. Even with window maximized, can't see below. Scroll only works for power/slots.

this is an extraordinary tool to have available. thank you for keeping up with it.

The most recent version of that file in my Mids directory was from September. No, it wasn't locked. Yes, the program reported (at least twice) that it fully downloaded the patch.

Prestige sprints were added because of Titan Sentinel. These powers are available to be slotted in-game, just like Ninja Run is, so they needed to be properly exported by Sentinel and imported into Mids'. Being accurate by actually showing the prestige sprints and their slots was a highly favored decision over automatically putting enhancements in a place they shouldn't be.

Snow Globe, wasn't September before the I18 Mids' release that Diellan said "after you manually download THIS version, you can start using the automatic updater function again"?
