For great Street Justice! (Darn you, Zwillinger.)

MidsÂ’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.952 - October 2011

New features:

  • Street Justice has been added

Fixes & changes:
  • Stalker / Energy Aura / Disrupt no longer has its repel and knockback effects
  • The Set Bonus Finder no longer miscounts enhancements required for an effect.

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.

You know what you doing.

(And I had *just* finished putting together a general build using another set as a placeholder.)


Tech support IRL, CLR/DRU/MED/WHM/PRI/DEF. Hmm, I sense a pattern...

I think DeProgrammer is deserving of his own special title (not just for this ).

Thank you for your hard work.

Just wondering: has anyone else run into performance issues using Mids since the I21 release? I'm often getting delays and overall jerkiness when selecting powers and placing slots. It's not something I could quantify properly, but I can tell the difference compared to the previous Mids versions (which I keep installed and, due to the above, end up using instead of the newest if I don't need I21 features for a particular build), so I'm wondering if it's just me, my hardware or whatever, or something other people have run into.

It's been a bit unresponsive to me too, lagging and acting a little juddery on my PC.

I've been refactoring the Mids' code a lot over the past year, and doing a bit of optimization along the way. Theoretically, it should be faster, not slower - it's certainly smaller (the installer executable is smaller now than it has been since at least I18, even with the addition of all the Incarnate data).

Diellan, I want to report a possible coding bug.

Time Manipulation: Time's Juncture
Slot either (or both) Dark Watcher Proc IO or Pacing of the Turtle Proc IO ... toggle the power on ... and the effects of these two Procs are applied to YOUR global recharge, modifying the recharge time of every power in your build.

I'm figuring that this sort of thing is an "accidental side effect" of how Mids' handles the effects of these Procs with this toggle power.


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

As always, Thanks a Bunch!

Bug: Fly is still showing the old 1 end/sec cost.


 

Posted

Reporting that I can't see any Destiny powers other than Barrier Invocation, and that placing enhancements is very laggy, and that when I remove an enhancement after all enhancements are placed, I have to switch to Dynamic mode to re-place the enhancement.

edit: also reporting thanks a lot for the fast update and all your hard work.

@Redlynne: Reported already on the Titan forums, thanks for your input.
@Caulderone: Confirmed. Fly is .46/s on the live servers, 1/s in Mids 1.952.
@Emberly: Destiny issue was reported already on the Titan forums, thanks for your input. Cannot reproduce your issues with enhancements. Further details?

Well there are two issues with enhancements. First and more tiresome is that when placing an enhancement, the progress of clicking down through the set type to the particular set to the particular IO is laggy. I am using a Radeon 5850 card with 11.9 Catalyst package. My PC is a Q6600 with 8 GB RAM. A friend with a Geforce card says he doesn't have this problem so maybe it is just me or a driver issue or whatever.

The other one is that when I open a saved build and shift-click a slot (to remove it), I cannot re-assign that slot to any power until I enter Dynamic mode (as opposed to Level-Up mode). It's only happening on this one saved build. Here is the data chunk for the build that is doing this:

Once again thanks Mids crew for the hard work and effort. Mids is the best tool for any game ever.

Still cannot reproduce the lag on my two Windows systems (XP with subpar video and CPU, and 7 with [newer but still not current generation] video and CPU). Having absolutely no issues clicking through any of the sets. Tried all kinds of things, including opening tons of resource-intensive programs to try and steal away computing power from Mids but still have no issues. I have no idea what to suggest!

I am, however, reproducing the LevelUp mode slot issue with the build you posted. I'm still poking around with that one to see if I can figure something out.

I have found out SOMETHING at least.

If you remove a non-50 slot, it is locked out from placing until going into Dynamic Mode.

If you remove a level 50 slot, you can replace it immediately, while still in LevelUp Mode.

If you remove a non-50 slot and a level 50 slot, you can replace both of them (it will place the lower slot first then the 50).

It's somehow interacting incorrectly with the level at which a build is set, which is 50 when all the powers are picked and slots have been placed.

Hmmmmm....curious. Continuing to poke.

So I am not crazy! At least about the slot thing

I totally suspect it is my PC somehow with the lag. My partner just tried it and wasn't able to reproduce the lag thing.
