Dielen, I'm glad to see that you've added CancelOnMiss functionality.

Unfortunately, the program seems to crash on me whenever I try to load a hero with Overwhelming Force slotted in. To keep the system functional, I've rolled back to a prior version, and I'll have to wait for the new version to be released.

This is absolutely true. Java != optimized. I use more Java programs than I care to admit in my day job by force and they're abominations as far as smooth usability is concerned.

I found the cause of the overflow bug (more accurately a divide by zero error caused by some powers having CancelOnMiss flagged as true by the Devs, even though they have a 100% probability of hitting, like Cremate). I'll have a new version up soon.

Would that make it one step closer to have on an iPad? I would likely be willing to pay quite a bit for a mids app.

The thing I hate most about Java is the built-in UI. It's terrible.

Sort of. Mono is free for desktops, but the MonoTouch library for mobile devices requires the purchase of a $399 license... and on top of that, we'd need to pay Apple's licensing fee for the right to develop for iOS.

The more likely option would be the development of an HTML5 application version of Mids, which would require a ridiculously large amount of work - the kind of thing that would require a couple months of full-time development work from yours' truly. And I already have a job, so unless we wanted to run a $25,000 Kickstarter campaign or something, we'll have to stick with the current method of minor iterative improvement.

Just a heads up.
That's because Nature Affinity's original form had those flagged as not enhancing. This was fixed already in a patch, but Mids wasn't updated.

Wait, would the html5 application be usable without a Internet connection? So like suck up in a cabin in middle of nowhere, but can still run mids to plan out some builds... Or lolitswebbasednub. One of these options will make me a sad bear...

Am I the only one not getting any info in the enhanced window for Titan Weapons? With a build that was working previously with all the info shown, the new version is now blank for most of the Titan weapons. Other powers in the same build don't seem to have changed.

I checked out other builds/ATs and don't see the same issue.

To be kind of helpful, 3 powers do show information: Follow Through and Whirling Smash and Build Momentum


I've already forgotten about most of you

You are not the only one, and it affects all Assassin's Strikes and Water Jet (everything that uses the Power Override mechanic).

A) It could be done with Offline Storage so that you'd only need web access the first time (and whenever you need to update).

B) HTML5 apps are easy to wrap inside an actual application using a Web View.

Apart from Overwhelming Force Enhancements not appearing when you reload a build, the whole set has completely different set bonus stats from those in game. Thanks for all the hard work at Mids, but thought I would bring these 2 errors to your attention.

Many Thanks

Diellan,

All kidding aside why not try a kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/ and see where it goes.

What is the worst that could happen, you don't reach the target and no one looses anything.

If the Devs over at Mids would rather have written this in something else but need capital to survive while they write it then by all means give it a shot.

In the end if it works for you and makes it easier for you to work with for future updates and what not its a win win.

The thought has crossed my mind more than once. But it's not like I would just quit my job in order to build Mids once. Maybe if things go south at my workplace, I'll reconsider it.

1.959 is released with fixes. I updated the post. It has some problems with the Bio Armor toggles not appearing.

Sabbatical.

Edit : If you actually need to offer incentives other than maybe a 'credits' menu button mentioning donors to this community, everyone here is an ungrateful selfish *******. That being said I bet we could do a twitter campaign for them to put in a Mids' logo chest costume option in the game and give you codes to distribute. I might do that anyway just because it's win.

I'm not quite sure what I did, but now I can't get Mids' to launch at all.

When I first installed the update, I was prompted to download an updated database. Did that, and it said it needed to restart to finish applying the update. Fine, I did that.

When it restarted, the update applied, then I got the prompt for the same database update. Figuring I'd just downloaded the database, I declined, and got a database error that crashed the program.

Relaunched it, downloaded the database again, decided not to restart to apply it, and it finished launching.

Well, I can't leave well enough alone; I wanted to see if I'd have to go through that every time. Close and relaunch. Updated database is applied, and I get the prompt to download the database. No, I say. Crash.

Go through a few more cycles of everything until I'm where I'm at now...

Launch, get the prompt to finish applying the latest update, hit OK, "The system cannot find the file specified." Well, pancake.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried restarting the computer in between. Still not able to launch.

Had the same problem, ran my cheap registry cleaner, every thing loads now.

Problem with Warshades, Umbral Aura no longer has Long Range Teleport.

Seems like the Widow, Night Widow Training is missing a power or two, can't remember which it is.

Is the character data base the correct version?

IO sets are unavailable for Bio Armor or Nature Affinity. I know these are still in beta so this may be intentional, but just incase it's not thought I'd make sure you know.

I had the exact same issue.

I renamed the D:\Program Files (x86)\Titan Network\Mids Hero Designer\mhd.mhz as indicated in the screen prompt and tried again but no luck.
I renamed the "Titan Network folder", renamed my "Hero & Villain Builds" folder (in Documents) and ran the install from the Internet (didnt download the file first) to my original location.
I then renamed the "Hero & Villain Builds" back and ran Mids and it worked.

I looked at both my original Mids folder and the newly installed one and the new folder does NOT have the mhd.mhz file at all.

Also the Bio Adaptation toggles are working on Brutes/Tanks at all and has overlapping issues with Staff/Bio Scrappers
