Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.950!

(I'm told exclamation marks are necessary for release announcements)

Not too long after I21, we've updated Mids to give you some of the great new features of City of Heroes: Freedom! Due to the fact that I'm going on vacation for two weeks, we've pushed this out even though it only has partial support for some features (Enhancement Boosters) and a few minor bugs (like the icons for the new powersets being wonky).

Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.950

Mids’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.950 - September 2011*

New features:

• Added ability for power pools to contain more than 4 powers.
• Added partial support for relative levels to IOs: setting your relative level through the menu applies to them, and using + and – keys while the enhancement picker is open will modify them. You will see the enhancement value change in the display in the lower lefthand corner, and once an IO is chosen, mousing over it will display Invention Level +x. Builds currently do not save relative IO level.
• Added support for Delayed, Disintegrate, and Accelerated
• Added support for max movement speed modifiers

• Fixed bug causing “Keep on Top” in the Totals window to change colors in some cases even though it still had “Keep on Top” chosen.
• Removed notices about City Traveler, due to them no longer being necessary (woohoo!)

• 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.
• Icons for Time Manipulation and Beam Rifle are formatted weirdly
• Mousing over the 5th power in a pool when it is placed invalidly gives incorrect message
• Relative IO level is not saved as part of a build.
• Some Patron epics do not properly check prerequisites on their powers
• 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.
• Power Boost affects some powers that should ignore its buffs, such as Ice Shields.
• Temporary and Accolade powers are not being affected by buffs such as recharge rate.
• Alignment and, consequentially, Accolade powers will not load from saved builds.

I love you.

I was just about to post in that other thread that it's Monday and there's been no release yet and what a slap in the face that was


Awesome - much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you so much

The british should throw a parade for you when you get to england in honour of all your hard work and sacrifice.

Couple things -
I'm told that some of the APP powers for Dominators are showing the incorrect damage - something about them being based off of the Controller version which has containment built into it.

Also, when I hover over a power, some of the enhancement numbers are not being displayed.

Awesomesauce. Ty again.

As usual, thanks to every single person involved in this project (and associated projects, as I use most of the Titan Network).

For something that is donation-optional, Mids truly is a marvellous product that has become almost mandatory for this 'City' player. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!!

Yay and a half!

Awesome. Many thanks.

You're the best! Party in your honor!

Much thanks

I was so excited planning my Beam/Time Corrupter on Mids, until I actually did it and realized how much Beam sucks.

You're a good man, Diell. Thanks for everything.

Heroes, Villains ♦ Reviews ♦ Retrospect

People can report bugs here or over in the Titan Forums (the link in my sig). Either DeProgrammer will do them while I'm away, or I'll get them when I come back. Hopefully, Street Justice will be out around then and I can give you guys an update with it.

Yay! I can enjoy CoX again!

Hallelujah!
