Presents for everybody from the Titan Network!

Happy Holidays!

The Titan Network has been busy at work over the last month since the release of Mids' 1.9 and the brand new Sentinel software, and as a little gift from us to you, we've got brand spanking new versions of both sitting on our servers! While the Alpha Slot is still another Mids' version away, we've got full compatibility here between it and Sentinel (and vice versa), having fixed all (we hope!) of the bugs that you have found. Mids has a variety of QoL fixes, too, including Suppression support and Damage/Animation Time support.

So, without further ado:

Titan Sentinel v0.9.3

Titan Sentinel v.0.9.3 - December 2010

Patch Notes

  • Fixed a bug that was causing crashes for characters exporting builds that added Enhancement slots to the Inherent Fitness powers
  • Corrected mistaken "Error applying updates" message when updates were in fact successful

Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.9.1

MidsÂ’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.91 - December 2010

Update Note
Because this update includes backend fixes to the MHDLoader program, Mids will need to be reinstalled instead of simply using the internal autoupdater (the internal autoupdater should still run, but instead of a patch file, it will download the exe via your web browser).

Changes & Updates:
  • Fixed a variety of crash bugs introduced with 1.9.0
  • Fixed database errors (ammo powers not working under all conditions, Shield Charge not showing damage on Brutes and Tankers)
  • Added Suppression flags in the Configuration, under Effects & Maths. Checking the boxes will update your power effects and totals to match the condition.
  • Damage per Animation time now fully supported throughout the program (in comparison windows as well as the main Mids display)
  • Fixed issue with Fiery Embrace numbers being shown no matter what if damage mode set to minimum or maximum damage
  • Fixed issue with old build files (pre-1.4) not loading
  • Mids should be smarter about asking for administrator access when it needs it
  • Plays better with Sentinel

Known Issues
  • Windows Vista and Windows 7 have issues with the updater due to UAC interfering with writing to the Program Files folder. Many of these problems can be resolved by (a) installing as Administrator, (b) running Mids as Administrator, or (c) installing Mids to a different location than the Program Files folder.
  • Diminishing Returns for PvP mode have not yet been added, all buffs currently show their full, unmodified values.
  • The Power Graphs for the current build do not display effects for pseudo-pet powers like Ice Storm. This does not affect the Powerset Comparison, which is now fully aware of pseudo-pets.
  • 60 Month Vet reward button not added. This means taking a Tier 3 travel pool power at level 6 or higher is automatic for everyone. You need to know whether or not you are eligible for this reward or you must take your travel power at level 14 or higher.

The PvP set bonuses weren't really on my radar, I'll admit it (and this isn't anti-PvP sentiment, since the Alpha Slot and full Pet Powers haven't been done either). Luckily, I looked into this today (because everybody asked me too :P), and I might have these reinstated in the next version or two.

Yes! Go Diellan and go Team Titan!

Downloaded and installed the updates, and just finished saving my Widow's build from live. A couple minutes after installing i'd worked out exactly what set pieces i still needed to finish the build.

That would be awesome if you could. As someone who uses mids only for pvp builds it would be a big help

Cheers guys. There appears to be something funky going on with the window scaling though. Minor issue really though.

When I get it up to full width it's fine but scaling it in seems to work at 200% so it scales faster than the edge of the window moves.


 

Posted

Hm, I thought I'd fixed all the scaling issues... I'll check this.

Sorry, meant to put in my spec: Win 7 home premium 64bit,

I'll be honest, i havent had the chance to download it, and check myself, but does the suppression cover both stealth, and travel?

Yeah. Heck, it even covers things like "I've been held, what do my toggles do now"?

Have we told you lately how awesome you guys are? Cuz we really need to say it more often


*edit* Could you add a toggle option on Hail of bullets? Its not really needed, but as HoB does add a 'defense' bonus during its animation time, it might be useful to know exactly what your defense looks like when HoB is active.

*edit edit* And a toggle option on Protector bots (for the force shield they offer) The toggle button is there, but to my knowledge it doesn't affect affect anything, so maybe just having it add the defense value of 1 force shield..


 

Posted

Hail of Bullets and Protector Bots are both special cases that we've had to think seriously about (check the accuracy on Hail of Bullets, for example - Mids is confused because the buff is autohit on self). I have yet to come up with a good solution for this, sadly. But it is on my radar.

Program updates can't be fetched from the server the same way data updates can, unless some special "updater" program is made like what the game uses. When the software itself changes, you'll need to download the new version.

So, then, the Update Now button on the About window is for manual updating of your character info?

*confused*

I believe it's to update the file manifest that allows Sentinel to collect data from CoH.

Yeah, Sentinel can't track anything without data for the current game version. That's what needs to update from build to build. Mids data is also needed for exporting correctly.

If a new program update is available for Sentinel, it will say so when it checks for updates to the data files.

Can't seem to get that database update to, well, update the database. Everytime I restart the program it says that the new database update is available.
