Now with fewer bugs!

Mids’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.951 - September 2011

New features:

  • Enhancement boosters will now save and load with your builds.
  • Alignment and, therefore, Accolades will now save and load with your builds.
  • The Accolades, Incarnate, and Temporary Powers windows can now be accessed via the Windows menu.

Fixes & changes:
  • Missing enhancement values in pop-ups have been restored.
  • Enhancement values will no longer be 100x too large when using a European locale
  • Patron powers' prerequisites have been restored.
  • Divine Avalanche, Parry, Entropic Aura, Vigilance, and Aim (Beam Rifle) can now be toggled and/or varied properly.
  • Fly speed is now properly hard-capped at 87.95 mph when Afterburner is boosted.
  • Afterburner no longer incorrectly applies a fly speed buff.
  • Spring Attack has had its damage value tweaked.
  • The icons for Time Manipulation and Beam Rifle are no longer swollen.
  • Any boosts applied to an Invention enhancement now show up in the pop-ups.
  • Spiritual Alpha Incarnate Abilities no longer apply an incorrectly large buff to healing.
  • Changing from Dual Pistols to another set with Swap Ammo still selected will no longer leave the ammunitions in the inherent powers.
  • Hovering the cursor over the 5th power in a pool now gives the correct error message.
  • If a scroll bar is present on the epic pool when switching to a Warshade or Peacebringer build, it will disappear since it is unneeded.

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 location other 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.
  • 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.
  • In some cases, the Reactive Interface DoT damage doesn't correctly factor in the CancelOnMiss for the damage, resulting in slightly higher damage being reported.

Kudos to DeProgrammer for doing this while I'm away; I felt bad releasing a buggy version, even if that was the only way to get one out on time.

EDIT:
Holy crap, I have a special title now! When did that happen?

I noticed that the other day, and although I wasn't certain it was impossible to change it yourself since I hadn't looked at the user control panel much, I figured you weren't the one who put it there, because you know where the apostrophe belongs in Mids'.

very well done, however one small thing i noticed was in stalker.energy aura.disrupt it is still showing a knockback effect in the info and effects tabs

it only takes stun enhance sets and still shows the stun applying so that part is right

Thanks again to everyone who keeps this current and working! Keep up the excellent job folks! Just got the new version. Haven't figured out how to add the enhancement... enhancers, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Thanks again!

Use the +/- keys, just like you do with HOs to mark that they've been level shifted via combining.

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

I don't think that would be too terribly tough. As for the proc portions, I was thinking they'd either be always on or always off since Mids' would need a lot of work to enable level-specific data, but then I realized I could probably add both a proccing and a non-proccing version of each enhancement.

It will be fixed in the next release.

I'll look into implementing a visual interface for level boosters, in addition to adding the "+#" to the level.

Thanks for getting this out. I've noticed a few issues though:

Blasters powers no longer display their defiance buffs.
Scorch for Tanks displays Res: -20% (Tgt)

Virtue: The-Invictus (Blue)
The Emissary of Justice - Level 50 Fire/Fire Blaster
The Emissary of Justice. - Level 50 WP/Fire Tanker
Mesmerius - Level 50 Psi/Mental Blaster
Nucleoa - Level 50 Rad/Son Defender

That's because all Tier 1 Tanker attacks do -20% Resist to Target. It's called Bruising.

Wait, really? When did that get added?

Virtue: The-Invictus (Blue)
The Emissary of Justice - Level 50 Fire/Fire Blaster
The Emissary of Justice. - Level 50 WP/Fire Tanker
Mesmerius - Level 50 Psi/Mental Blaster
Nucleoa - Level 50 Rad/Son Defender

So you wanna make me wait until it's actually Live before I can plan a build? Make me wait the interminable period between when StJ is available and when you update before I can properly plan my build? Why would you put me through that?

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I have no idea where to find enhancement boosters in mids. Can someone point me in the right direction? Cheers.

As with SOs and HOs, just hit + or - on your keyboard when you're setting the enhancement. It won't show the level boost in that, but it'll appear in the other popup and in the info box at the left.

Same reason that we don't release before an Issue is live or a patch on test has gone live: because we get paid based on the number of tears you shed. Really, it's because (a) we never know if the patch that hits live is going to be the same as the patch on beta/test and that would mean making an extra Mids release if the numbers get changed, and (b) we do our work by the grace of Black Pebble and the Devs, and so we purposefully limit ourselves in certain ways... one of which is that we don't go and fish data from powers that aren't actually available yet (otherwise, Street Justice isn't the only thing that might show up in Mids).
