Felis Noctu

No no, I was confusing the old modding tool (which no longer works) with this one. :P

Ahahaha, there I go being a doofus. "Don't I already have this installed? Yeah, there it is." *runs CoH Modder* *computer proceeds to have a meltdown* Shows how long it's been since I've played. :P Does City Mod Installer check for conflicts between installed mods, or is that something we still need to figure out ourselves?

While I can't make any promises because it's not specifically my work, Metallios has been messing around with newer frameworks for the proposed "successor" to Mids. While the current Mids will likely never see any kind of mobile release due to how horrifically outdated its backbone is, the newer frameworks themselves were designed with cross-platform support in mind. So, you know, some hopes on the horizon. 😛

If I'm reading all this correctly, that means for munchkins trying to minmax everything, Tsoo may be the best Lore option? Up there in the top 3 Core DPS, and the boss also adds a -10% res AoE. That aside, I'm usually taking my Lore pet to fit my character's design, with Polar Lights being the general catch-all. Concept over numbers!

Haha, the Mids team definitely has experience processing poorly-/unlabeled blobs of data, I can tell you that much! We've pulled our data from several different methods and formats at this point. This is incredibly useful, thank you for providing this! And like Flea said, please let us know if you're looking for help to keep the lights on. I'm sure we can scrounge something together.

Apologies for only getting to this now. I've been pretty disconnected from CoH/Mids lately, so I haven't been lurking the forums much. I can confirm that Mids does scale visually with the Windows Display Scaling options (though things do tend to get blurry). What you're seeing is normal for a 3 column layout. Like @plainguy said, if you go to the View menu at the top, 5 column tends to work best for Mids at 100% scale fullscreen window: As well, if text is difficult to read, you can actually configure those sizes, weights, and colors in Options > Configuration however you'd like, including changing to High Visibility text for the power 'tablets' As for the boxes and windows not being able to rescale, that's an unfortunate factor of the technology behind the program's layout. It's a large part of why we're looking into working on a new build planner project with current tech. The current one is a nightmare to get to cooperate, even after all the refactoring that's been done. We are aware of some issues (such as the stats being cut off, which you can see in my screenshot), which hopefully we'll get to in the future. Obviously at the moment the team's more focused on data parity with the game 😛

No worries, just trying to remind people. The team goes down so many rabbit holes on a daily basis that there's no way we can keep track of everything going on 😅

Thank you for telling us, we'll add it to the list. We can't fix what we don't know is broken! 😛

Thankfully Crysis let us know about this. We had no idea. Please, if you find errors like this in Mids, let us know directly somehow! We can't fix what we aren't aware of! 😛

We have had several issues with the updater in the past, yes. We went through a couple different iterations of it, trying to get new functions to operate correctly with the old code. This latest iteration seems to work just fine, however we have told people in the past to do a fresh install from the website if they're having problems. So I'm going to tell you the same thing. Please fully uninstall Mids from the Windows Settings > Apps & Features screen, and then install a completely fresh copy from the website. If you're still having issues with future updates with this fresh copy, but others aren't, then we can be fairly sure that the issue is on your end and not ours and can troubleshoot from there. Again, we haven't had people complaining about updating about going from the last version to this most recent (except for your report here), so if it breaks again, it's not likely to be Mids specifically, but something related to .NET.

Unfortunately we've been having to deal with this on most updates due to the application not being signed. We implemented features in the newer version that are typical in high-profile applications (internet connectivity, ability to self-update, modify the system registry, etc), but because we don't have a valid recognized signature submitted to anti-viral/-malware companies, we get flagged as a threat until they "pass" us. That's why on our Discord I supply links to VirusTotal scans that show we aren't doing anything shady, and the project's been open source since Metalios got his hands on it (and before, for that matter). That aside, "why don't you get a signature then?" Money. It's expensive. If it wasn't for the current pandemic we might be in a better position, but at the moment, just like HC, we need to rely on crowdfunding to make any of that happen. There hasn't been very much of it. So we're trucking along doing everything we can to get Mids verified, but really all it comes down to is time and patience. Out of curiosity, what part of Mids was your system having trouble with? Was it the installer? The app itself? We have steps we can provide for you to whitelist the application folder and other such things with the various popular defense software, if that'll help. We just need to know where the problem location is.

That's specifically for the Mac link, it looks like. Here's two more Mac OS X sources. I'll see if Metalios will update the first post. Homebrew (OSX): formulae.brew.sh/formula/winetricks MacPorts (OSX): macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=winetricks The first option, Brew, is probably going to be the best for most people.

Given the bias at the moment, and how the strict level-up mode makes other feature implementations difficult, there's a fair chance it'll be stripped out in an upcoming update. I think Metalios has been looking for an excuse anyway. 😛
