I will push out a new installer. AV's are incorrectly detecting the exe which downloads and executes the msi from the website as a virus. This is a false positive.

Rathulfr Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 My network at work is fairly restrictive, so it does not allow connectivity to https://midsreborn.com/; however, it does allow connectivity to GitHub (since we have developers in house). Unfortunately, our workstations policies don't allow us to run installers, either. Where can I get a zip file with the 2.6.0.5 version in a non-installer ZIP file, instead? The last I have that worked was 2.6.0.1, which I got from https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer/releases (which appears to contain 2.6.0.2). @Rathstar Energy/Energy Blaster (50+3) on Everlasting Energy/Temporal Blaster (50+3) on Excelsior Energy/Willpower Sentinel (50+3) on Indomitable Energy/Energy Sentinel (50+1) on Torchbearer

The current MRB team is focused on a windows program that has always been a windows program. They seem to make every reasonable effort to make it accessible to other OS, but that's not what it was developed for or written to accommodate.

Redlynne Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 I'm not throwing shade just simply to throw shade (even if it looks like that at times). I'm simply pointing out that if a developer wanted to build the functionality that MRB provides "from scratch" today you'd build it as a web page which would allow people to link to builds and all you'd need is a web browser. It seems like the only reason why we're still tied (chained?) to the legacy UI of Mids' is because ... well ... that's what was done almost 15 years ago, so ... why reinvent the wheel? Is the program useful/functional? Sure it is. Is it what we'd really want to be using for this purpose if we were starting over? Not exactly.

I personally don't have the skills (or experience) to program that kind of a web page. There is a significant difference between developing Mids', and developing a website. You can't do it. The Mids' developers may not be able to do it. The way Mids' is written it is extremely tied to Windows, and separating the two is impossible. It would require a ground up rewrite, which the Mids' developers may not be capable of doing so as C# is not HTML and CSS, and vice versa. You've been essentially demanding that someone that plays the piano to play the guitar, "because they're both musical instruments, right?" Until someone that can code websites and is interested enough to develop a City of Heroes character planner comes along, Mids' Reborn is it. Edited September 25, 2019 by Apparition
TotalFocuS Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 This is super petty, but I'm wondering if you intend to re-add the red theme when the "Villain" bubble is selected. I have poked around extensively in MRB, but have not located anything that would change this unless I'm missing something. The red is easier on my eyes and let's face it: Red side - best side. Any help y'all give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch for the great work!
Redlynne Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 Isn't there a Hero/Villain button up at the top in the center already? When you pick a Hero AT it'll automatically default to the blue theme ... and a Villain AT will automatically default to the red theme ... but you can swap by clicking on the Hero/Villain button.

Apparition Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I believe the red theme was removed in 2.6.0.4 in order to be more color-blind friendly.

Anaku Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 On 9/20/2019 at 11:25 AM, crytilis said: The biggest thing that is preventing myself, or Maslow from doing any type of porting the app to different platforms is that just about everything inside of the app ties heavily into the Windows System.Drawing namespace within the .NET framework. For example. the creation of the power slots, enhancement slots, etc, are all done via Classes and Methods within that namespace. That in itself would be a massive undertaking, requiring hundreds of hours (most likely) in order to move away from this into something like Xamarin Forms and then changing all the individual pieces that made changes to it. Someone had previously mentioned .NET Core also, this however does not solve that issue either. While .NET Core 3.x does support Winforms and WPF, they still require those types of applications to be ran on a Windows platform. A branch of MRB utilizing .NET Core 3.x has already been created and tested confirming this. NET Core however is more optimized than the .NET framework itself as in many cases, entire portions of the framework were re-created from scratch. This does seem to provide some performance increases and after more testing we may choose to move to this as the standard going forward.

Chrome Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 heh i just found a funny error after updating to the most up to date MRB. Kick unslotted in PVP mode on a Ice/TA corrupter shows it doing 1400 or so damage...im thinking a decimal place was missed somewhere:)
mcdoogs Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Great tool! Quick suggestion though, at least on homecoming servers when doing a respec there is no level/power limitations on slot placements (ie. can 6 slot a power taken at lvl 49). Can this be added as an option for QoL? thanks.

BadLuckProphet Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe an odd question, but where are the json files for powersets and stuff coming from in your source code? Are you maintaining them by hand? I'm working on a side project (a build designer obviously) and found it REALLY convenient to just copy your json files into my project. But it didn't feel right to do that without asking about it, and should you ever decide to stop maintaining your files I'd have to figure out something else. So, do you mind me copying your json files? Especially if I decide to run ads or something and would thus be making money partially off of your work? Or is the data is just freely available and I haven't found it yet?
