Any chance of incorporating the option to use a URL shortener on export links? People give me the side-eye when I post a huge long export link into Discord. Of course, I could simply put it into a URL shortener myself, but it would be nice to have the option to save that extra step.

The option to export a build to discord exists, you would need to invite the ever faithful MidsBot into your server first however.

The big one, however, is that PVP numbers (for those that PVP) are going to be WAY off, as Homecoming introduced dedicated PVP modifier tables. This was a fantastic idea for disconnecting PVE balance from PVP balance, but unfortunately Mids has no idea what to do with those tables yet. Even after we do fix that, we're going to have to modify every single power in the game to point at these new tables for their PVP effects, just like HC did.

Firstly, thank you and the others for your great work in up-keeping mids.

Is there currently any kind of date or time frame we can expect these PVP fixes for mids?

Not really. It would be a haphazard guess to suggest an eta. But if/when it does get addressed, it will definitely be broadcasted.

[BitCook]

I think there might be an issue with Corruptor and Defender AT modifiers.

 

I created a Elec/Time and Time/Elec to see the differences.  However, across the board the defender has more damage, which is odd...

 

First a direct compare of powers:
I'm looking at Short Circuit as I have that slotted identical.  I've taken out Vigilance so there's no +DMG for the inherent.  I would expect the corrupter to be higher since they have a higher damage scale.

 

 

 

So the defender is showing more damage, which all I can guess is that it's an AT scale issue.

 

Here are the build links.

They are aware of the issue, but apparently it is a difficult fix so it will take a while.

This is something that would be fixed the same time I/we make a pass over the entire database in full. As Bopper said, we have no ETA for that at that moment.

 

To be more transparent, the team's in a bit of a limbo state between reworking Mids and planning/investing towards a successor tool. Metalios is kind of working on both simultaneously (changes being made in Mids that lead towards and/or make things easier for a future transition), so beyond information gathering (much of which is done on the Discord), we're in a bit of a "working hiatus". Still doing things, just probably not what you'd expect.

This is a fun one, yeah. The class AT modifiers are correct now, but Zed had made changes prior to that to make the numbers line up closer. On top of that the AT passives need a bit of work (across the board really, several of them are strangely implemented and screwy), and on top of that HC's power info is displaying incorrectly for Corr's Scourge. It isn't labeled as a conditional, so in-game tooltips show double damage all the time. That isn't an issue with Mids obviously, but it has skewed some bug reports while we doublecheck.

 

In terms of database corrections, this one's higher up on the priority list.

I have installed both Wine and Homebrew (I think). I'm not able to see Winetricks because it's not secure and my Mac stops me from going there. 

 

Clicking Installer (Main) and Installer (Alt) get me a download .exe file, but I'm unable to run it. I was hoping one of the programs above would help. The URL is not found for the two links for the ZIP files.

 

Can anyone share some simple step by step instructions on how to do this on a Mac? I must be overlooking something.

[Jacke]

I've discovered a bug in the latest Mids Reborn, 20.0515, Windows 10 1909.

 

If "Load last build on startup" is disabled (Options > Configuration... > Options window > Updates & Paths tab > lower left uncheck "Load last build on startup"), then if an .mxd file is opened outside of the program (say via the File Explorer), the window that opens has the path to that file set (shows up in the title bar and in the save dialog) but doesn't load the file, leaving it at the default (Blaster Archery-Atomic Manipulation) with an empty build.

[Sailboat]

So is "/buildsave" working currently?  It said "BuildSaved" when I ran it, but there's no build in the directory Mid's points to (I put that under Documents) *or* the place COH is loaded (C:\apps\homecoming).

 

I just found out about it today and I would love to get it working.

 

Whoops, I think I found it... there's a <username> directory OUTSIDE the hiomecoming folder for some reason, and that has a "builds" folder.  But the Build.txt file doesn't load into Mid's with "open," am I doing something wrong?

It is buggy and not reliable. No promises, but there may be a fix down the line. As for now, consider it not working.

So nice to have Mids up and current.

 

For us old ppl with only 20/20 vision and large 4k monitors can an option be added to increase the window size/scale? I am hoping to avoid changing the resolution of my monitor or use the windows scaling option as both cause other issues. 

 

The text is a bit small to read otherwise.

Unfortunately, Mids uses old technology to display itself and to get it properly displaying on 4K monitors would basically require re-writing much of the application.  It is on the to-do list from what I understand, but don’t expect it for a long while if ever.

Let me start by thanking you guys for keeping Mids up to date.

 

I just ran in something and figured I should post it in here, so you guys can verify if it's me that need moooar coffee, or a real glitch.

Catalog the issue if need be and maybe sometime fix it.

 

So here I am trying to do something stupid and slot -tohit set in Terrify on my mind dom.

Not a great pick, but heck the bonus help me toward my goal.

Mids allows it, so i guess it's the same in game...

 

Only issue, the game don't want me accommodate my crazy plan:

Win 7 and most updated version. I was able to fix it by installing into the C drive (where I keep my OS) but as I keep my data on my E drive which is where I was having the error.

I am trying to add Blessing of Tielekku to the Temporary Powers window, so I can see the effect on my character build.  I see that Blessing of Tielekku is in the DB editor, but not sure how to get the effects to show up on a build.  Is there a way?

 

By the way, I use this tool all the time.  If there is a way to contribute a few dollars I would be happy to do so.

The Temporary Powers window, as far as I understand it, is actually hardcoded to display specific powers. That whole system is one of the messes we shake our heads at due to it being a somewhat hacky workaround to allow for heroes and villains to have different lists. Unfortunately, this means that to add the Blessing of Tielekku to the list, you'd have to edit the source code itself.

That being said, if people want to give us a list of temp powers that can be regained through the Flashback system or other means, I'm sure we could apply them to that list.

At the moment I don't believe we have anything set up for that. However, you could always pester Metalios for his Paypal or something. He's the most invested in the project, he should be the one getting the financial motivation. 😛

I have a hack job for you, if you're interested Lockpick. You know how you have 5 Presitige Sprints that you're probably not using? Let's take one of those and add an effect that will redirect to the Blessing of Tielekku power. This will override the Sprint effects, so just keep in mind that you will permanently turn ...let's go with "Prestige Power Rush"....into Blessing of Tielekku.

 

 

First, go to Options -> Advanced -> Database Editor...

 

 

 

This will open up the Database Editor. Select "Main Database Editor".

 

 

 

This will open up the Power Database Browser. Under the Group panel, select Inherent. Under the Set panel, select Inherent. Under the Power panel, select prestige_Gamestop_Sprintp, which is the Prestige Power Rush power. Then select the button "Edit" on the bottom right (below the Power panel).

 

 

 

From the Edit Power menu, select the Effects tab (at the top, third from the left).

Optional: If you want to rename the power, you can do it here. In the Display Name, rename it to what you want (Blessing of Tielekku). It will show up next time you restart Mids

 

 

 

You will see the following (except for the 100% PowerRedirect, which I added in already). Select "Add" to add a new Effect, which will become the new PowerRedirect effect.

 

 

From the Edit Effect menu, set your Scale to 1.0, your Magnitude to 1.0, and your Probability to 1.0. Then select in the menu "PowerRedirect". You should now see "100% PowerRedirect". On the far right, there is an edit-box called "Override:". In that box, type in the following: 

Temporary_Powers.Temporary_Powers.Blessing_of_Tielekku

Then click OK, and save everything. (Click OK in the Edit Effect menu, Click OK in the Edit Power menu, Click Save & Close in the Power Database Browser menu, Click Close in the Database Editor menu.

 

 

Now you're done. 

 

Here is an example after all is said and done (BTW, I renamed Prestige Power Rush to Blessing of Tielekku, which you'll see). The 2.8% defense to all shows up.

That's a Mids' database issue.  Terrify doesn't do -ToHit, just Damage and Fear.  I don't think it ever did -ToHit, so someone updating the DB probably mistook it for Fearsome Stare.

This may have changed, Terrify in days of old was classified as Fear (Special). Some of the things you will see in MRB are left over (reverse engineered from the data files) from the project of old/live game. Terrify at that time I believe did add -ToHit under it's special effect. Also unless it has changed on HC the power also accepted ToHit Debuff IOs and sets.

I usually have my nose deep in source to check things so I leave that to rest of my team as I continue to make improvements to the program itself. 

Thanks for the report 🙂
