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. Have fun!

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  |
Uninstalled again, ran it as an admin, still have the popups. Not sure what to do about it. Don't see an mhd.mhz file anywhere in my Mid's folder, either.

I wasn't aware the NCSoft developers took over the production of mids. Maybe it's because PvPIOs no longer drop in the game.

One bug to report, though: PvPIO's are only showing the PvE bonuses. |

Excellent. Thanks for the reply!

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Installed it from the .exe (I keep the versions separate - old unix habit 
)
Anyway, it works great, and I'd like to echo my gratitude for the work
you guys are doing to provide the community with this program.
I especially want to applaud the reinstatement of the mouseover popups
on powers and enhancements -- I didn't realize how incredibly useful those
are until 1.810 stopped doing them.
If you're soliciting end-user opinion, count me as another who'd like to see
the various bonus powers click selectable for visibility (if you have/want
them shown), and not displayed by default otherwise (the 2-column version
is quite unreadable even when set to same size as the old versions).
Once again, thanks for the awesome work, guys.
Regards,

A bug i've only just noticed is that Mids' currently has a tendency to set IO levels to 30 seemingly at random when changing around slotting. i'll open a build, reorder some of the IOs in some powers, and the new IOs will frequently be set to 30 even if the set goes to 53.

If you trust the source of the program (and I assume you do as we're talking about the Mids folks) and don't mind allowing a program to always run as Administrator, I found that you can work around the problem by right clicking on the shortcut you're using, or on MHDLoader.exe, and selecting the Compatibility tab. There's an option at the bottom to "Run this program as an administrator." After that, you'll get a little confirmation box when you run the program; click "Yes" and it will open and run just fine.|

EDIT: Oops, forgot to add a word of thanks to the Mids developers. I love this program so much now; tweaking my characters builds in Mids has become its own little mini-game to me.

Excuse me if this has been mentioned before:
Is it just me, or has the defence values for "Stealth" from the Concealment pool been revereted to display the non-combat values again? (ie, you have to divide by half if you want the values when you're in combat to see if you're at softcap while something).

Ok, running into a really annoying problem. Ever since version 1.9 came out... I can only run the program once, on an install. ANY attempt to launch the program after the initial install results in a DB error and the program bombing. Basically, I need to reinstall it EVERY time. I have Windows 7 64 bit and never had any problems.. has anyone else seen this?
EDIT-
OK, for whatever reason, once I installed the program folder to the desktop, I am fine.. weird.

Not sure if I'm the only one noticing this, but a heads up for you Diellan...
With set bonuses, it seems to not be following the rule of 5. On occasion it's allowing me to slot the same bonus 6 or 7 times, specifically with the 1.25% Energy/Negative bonuses.
Noticed it on an EM/EA Brute build while trying to add more regeneration with the Pounding Slugfest set, and saw it also added the 1.25% Energy/Negative bonus as well, for a sixth time.
Already had three Reactive Armor sets, The Gaussian's Synchronized Fire Control set, and one three set of Pounding Slugfest when I noticed the sixth bonus add in. (Which all give the same 1.25% Energy/Negative bonus)
Also had it happen while experimenting on an Invulnerability/Super Strength Tanker build, and had the 1.25% Energy/Negative bonus apply seven times.
Life is something that happens while making other plans.
Quote:
Its not the value of the bonus that matters it's the name. Gaussian doesn't give a 1.25% to En/Neg, it gives a 2.5% to range 1.25% to en/neg(Moderate Increased Ranged/Energy/Negative Energy) which is different from Reactive Armor and Pounding Slugfest's 1.25%to En/Neg .625% range (Tiny Increased Energy/Negative Energy/Ranged), you can stack up to 5 of each.

Thanks for the response!
Always wondered if there was actually a difference between those two, because of the naming rule. This makes it clearer, and settles that.
Thanks again!

Yes. Look for the next version for a solution to this problem. Hint: it involves checkboxes in the Configuration window.|

Got a Mids suggestion? Want to report a Mids bug?
Q: I noticed that Kinetic Melee->Power Siphon no longer accepts Taunt sets. Did they change the description in-game, or is that reflecting that the power won't currently accept those sets (even though it originally said it could)?
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level

Right, I get that. But the description of the power previously stated that it accepted Taunt sets (and Mids' previously allowed them). But the power didn't actually take them. |

My question, again, was if this was corrected in-game (that the power doesn't accept Taunt sets, because no, it's not an attack), or if Mids' was just reflecting that you can't currently slot them (due to bug, whatever).
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
Power Siphon does not currently accept taunt sets. I don't know if it did in the past.

Is that why I've not had any problems with it? I installed mine in \Games\Mids and set the shortcut to run as administrator. I know Windows protects Program Files, but not random folders I create.

Installing the program worked without a hitch for me on Win7 x64. I do not have UAC on, however.
