Is someone taking up the mantle or will Mids Reborn become defunct if they add more tweets or pools in the game?  

I will still update it if they add/change something, just at this time I'm not sure if I want to continue working on the core of Mids itself.

Unfortunately you are reading that wrong.
If the software was never meant to do something then no matter how much I may disagree with it it wont do it and that is not a bug.
I want my car to fly. It doesnt fly. The car designer/builder never stated that it would fly and didnt design/build it to fly. That is not an issue/error/problem with the car but with my expectations.
You could call it a design limitation but its still not a bug.

There is nothing wrong with wanting software to do more than it was designed to do. But that is a New Feature Request or Enhancement Request not a bug to be fixed.

Your analogy is flawed.  This isn't an unreasonable expectation for a car to fly.  It is equivalent to expecting a car's stereo system to play an MP3 file encoded with an older codec.

 

Regardless of your interpretation of the definition of "bug", it won't change the fact others will experience similar problems in the future if nothing is done about this issue.  It won't change the fact those people will report it as a bug too.

Link Minds is currently showing that it is boosted by secondary enhancing effects, like Dominator's Power Up and Clarion Radial, but this doesn't work in game. Link Minds' defense buff cannot be boosted.

 

The secondary boost from Power Up is higher in Mids than in game.

 

Thank you for your work, and for any you may continue to do.

I do not support renditions of Mids that I was not involved. Sorry 😐

Renditions of Mids are as follows.
 

• Mids' Hero Designer - Created by Mids himself
• Mids' Hero/Villain Designer - Done by Mids himself and taken over by Titan Network.
• Pines Hero/Villain Designer - A port of the Mids' Hero/Villain Designer which was modified for SCORE servers by Pine.
• Mids' Reborn - A port of the Mids' Hero/Villain Designer modified for Homecoming servers by Crytilis
• Mids Reborn : Hero Designer - Another port of the Mids' Hero/Villain Designer with several core changes and tailored for Homecoming. Created by Crytilis, Maslow, & Pine and now maintained by Crytilis.

Since Mids Reborn : Hero Designer is another rendition of Mids it is natural that it uses the same file extension as other renditions. It *may* be compatible with builds made in other renditions. However since many things have been changed/fixed in Mids Reborn : Hero Designer, this is not guaranteed and a statement to this effect was already made with the release of 2.6.0.3. This will not change, if you wish to have your build be 100% compatible with the latest rendition then you should rebuild it in 2.6.0.3 or later. 

*Keep in mind, Force of Will was not added into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer until 2.6.0.6. 2.6.0.7 re-introduced the 2, 3, and 4 column layouts that were removed in 2.6.0.6.*

I'll have a look at it in the code, thanks for reporting.

There's a lot of love already in there, but even if it retired now, it'll be appreciated for what it is.

Need someone to take over titan sentinel also and make it point to a new website for homecoming so we can do our badge tracking there. You can still download the program but cannot login into city info tracker with it.

If you do that, then you'd likely want to find out who made it and If they're willing to share the codebase. Once accomplished, I'd recommend not including titan in the name.

Thank you very much for all the hard work in maintaining this platform!! Build design meta-game is a real joy. I won’t go into the amount of time I’ve appropriated from my employer created builds over the Interregnum. 

 

I searched but didn’t find a post on this topic (so apologies if I missed it). “Demons” are not selectable pets in the Incarnate Lore choices. Is this a possible addition? Admittedly, it’s a niche choice I’m sure. 

I'll have a look

Should I be concerned about this?

If you've downloaded it from the links in the thread, then no.

This should be an easy fix for me but I can't figure it out.  In the past when you slotted the Force Feedback Proc, Gaussian's Chance for Build Up or Decimation: Chance for Build Up MIDS would auto show the buffed values of the proc in your build unless you unclicked the little green button on the power that the proc was slotted in.  For example Force Feedback proc when clicked on will show how the different recharge values when it's turned on.  This no longer seems to be the case with this current version.  Is there a way to turn that feature back on?

Can someone help me figure out how to do enhancement boosts for specific IOs in a build?  I basically want to make my recharge IOs in Hasten + 5, but I only see the ability to make all enhancements + 5.

When you go to select the enhancement, press the + button once for each level up

[Canoe]

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I can't find it anywhere. When I print out my builds, the level numbers are messed up on both power levels and enhancement levels. Instead of level 4 it prints as level 31. So basically to get the level you have to add the numbers 3+1=4. All the level numbers print this way. Since no one else seems to be having this problem, I'm wondering if it's something on my end. I've been coping with this since I started using Mids again, but it would be nice to sort it out.

[J-Naught]

Mids seems to have decided that every version of my main's build I can find is a Kinetics Manipulation Buff-debuff/Ice Armor Scrapper. Suggestions?

titan network keeps sending mixed signals on how they feel about homecoming and I honestly doubt they'll share code. In the same article about titan website being merged with homecoming. Tonyv gives instructions on how to delete your account if you're worried about the merge rather than clearing up misplaced fears.

 

This version of mids is a crack like pines was right? I seem to recall the original mids developer not wanting to continue development and then someone cracked it and made pines and here we are now with a cleaner version called reborn. Seems like someone smart will do the same someday for titan sentinel if not write something entirely different.

It started as a decompilation from the original. Since then Mids himself as well as the Mids Team from Titan Network have graciously given us their source and their support as we continue the project.

Nevermind, figured it out.

Hmmm, I do not have a dominator atm to test this, but it's values show they are enhanceable... and the Power Build Up numbers look correct from in game. 98.34%

Link Minds with Power Up info 1.

 

Power Up+Link Minds with Power Up info 2.

 

Link Mind's value (6.13% in this case) is the same with or without Power Up, and Power Up's secondary boost is listed as 74.50%, rather than 98.34%. As I recall, when Power Boost was turned into Power Up, the secondary effect buff was reduced in compensation for the damage buff.

Aight, I see. Numbers have been noted. Thanks.

Importing a build file...  I get an error, and while it gets the powers correct, the slots are empty and the full inventory of slots does not show up.  (In the picture below, Stamina should be three slotted.)  It also acts as though I'm a level 2 in terms of adding slots.

Was the build you imported done on Mid's Reborn or another version (like Pines or the original Mid's)??  They are NOT 100% backwards compatible as crytilis has mentioned just a few posts above yours.
