Mids Hero Designer Question

How do I add enhancements to the powers that I selected in the program? First time I attempted to use it and I'm not sure how to do that part.

Right-click in the slots and then select the enhancement you want to put in there. Sometimes it bugs out and closes the enhancement window, I don't know why, but just keep trying and you'll get it.

My pleasure. Also, if you are going to use more set pieces or more of the same enhancement you can middle-mouse-button click on an empty slot to 'repeat' the last enhancement or to add the next piece of the last set you used into a power. I'm not describing it well but you'll figure it out quickly. Like if you're going to 3-slot Hasten with Recharge IOs, you'd select a recharge IO for the first slot then middle-click in the other two slots to repeat the IO in those slots.

If you have things taxing your vidcard, this is likely what's causing the freaky behavior.

If you have the game running in the background this happens.
I've had it happen running the Distributed.net GPU client as well.

Me neither! Awesome tip, thanks.

It's really easy to put the wrong pieces of a set in like that, though. You want to make sure to mouse-over each of them and see which things went in which slots, or just right-click on one of them and see which are grayed-out for that power.

Also, say you're gonna put 4 sets of Positron's Blast in your powers... just select the first slot from one of those sets, then you can middle-click into each other power's slots to add the next ones in the set. Makes setting out sooooo much faster.

You're all welcome!

Back when Mids' first started desinging his Hero Desinger program, he asked what features we'd like to see added. I contacted him (I think I did it via e-mail), and asked if he could add it. Shreksliver/Shreksilver (I've seen it spelled both ways >.<) had that in his Hero Planner, and I found it to be very useful.

And an update or two later, it was added in!
