How to import your mids build straight onto BETA (By Xhiggy)

[America's Angel]

Okay so a genius PVPer by the name of Xhiggy has made a bot that lets you upload your mids build to beta. Here's how it works:

 

Step 1:
Join the PVP Discord: 
https://discord.com/invite/ACfXPxK

 

Step 2:
Look for the bot called "PVPBot". It should be on the right near the mods.

 

Step 3:

DM the PVP Bot your mids build. (The actual  .mxd file)

Make sure you type "!popmenu" in the message without quotations as you send it. Like in the gif, below.

 

 

Step 4:
Take the "menu.mxd" file it gives you and put it in:
C:\Games\Homecoming\data\texts\English\menus

(Or whatever the path name is for your installation)

 

Step 5
In game. Type "/macro mxd "popmenu mxd" and press enter. Congrats, you now have a macro that:

-Imports all the IOs from your build straight into your enhancement tray:

-Autolevels you to 50

-Unlocks all the patrons/accolades.

 

 

All hail Xhiggy for putting this together. It's a life saver.

 

(Note for PVPers: You'll still have to buy the PVP accolades from the arena store.)

 

**EDIT FOR QUICK LEVELING**

After you've used the macro to autolevel to 50, type the following into the chat and press enter:

/bind l "train 0"

 

This lets you level to 50 quickly. Just press "L" every time you need to train up a level. (This helps skip having to talk to Ms Liberty or one of the other trainers when leveling.)

This is absolutely amazing.

[macskull]

Nice try, you're not getting me to submit my super secret builds to some bot!

[SuperPlyx]

Question it states it -Autolevels you to 50....do you still have to go to a trainer and pick you powers and place slots? I.E, train up 50 times?

I suspect the answer is yes, and I in no way mean to belittle this option.

 

However, you can already level to 50 with the jerkhack menu on beta. This will also unlock patrons, travel powers, etc

And Mid's Reborn has a feature to export all of your builds enhancements to your toon. It's called Export to Beta.

 

I only mention these thing to show all this can easily be done already without Discord for those of us that don't use it.

I need help! I found my CoH folder but when I go into the data folder its blank.  How would i find the "texts\English\menus" part?

Create a folder Data in called "texts"

In texts create a folder called "English"

In English create a folder called "menus"

Then copy the mxd file in menus:

Ok cool, so I can instant level all my characters to level 50 eh?
(just kidding lol 😄)


No for real though this is HUGE for being able to quickly test out build theory on the beta server.  Thanks for making this @xhiggy and thanks for sharing this @America's Angel !
This is a huge game changer for many of us!

Thanks for sharing this and the type up, AA. Message me on discord or tag me here if you run into issues.

 

Edit: The current version of Mids now has this export functionality included and this Discord bot is not longer maintained, please use Mids instead for you popmenu needs.

This is amazing and saves -so- much time. What takes longest is not leveling and adding slots but navigating the menus and pick the things we need one by one.

 

I have but one like to give.

[DarknessEternal]

This is the greatest gift I have ever, or will ever receive.

So when I hit the macro, nothing happens?  Any idea what I have foolishly done wrong?

This is my .mnu

Yes.

[DarknessEternal]

Figured, it out.  Back to glorious testing, thanks.

OK, I was wrong again.  Now it only generates the very first menu it sent to me (the one in my spoiler up there) no matter what the contents of mxd.mnu actually is at the time or does nothing.

Edited April 16, 2021 by DarknessEternal

[Bionic_Flea]

Mids added a command (Import/Export, Export Build to Beta Server).  It then asks you to save file in your CoH directory.  Then you log into HC Beta, create your character, and type "/popmenu MRBTest" to get half of your Mids build enhancements and again to get the second half.  You still need to level to 50 and slot them, but it's a time saver.

 

[DarknessEternal]

Turns out the quotation marks in the mxd.mnu were not correct and identical (I don't know what would cause that, probably some setting in one of the many formats I got messed up)  I did a global replace on all of them now and now it works.

 

Thanks for all the trouble shooting help.

[Hew]

Thanks to this tool, I have discovered my possible tw/wp scrapper with _3_ travel pools is actually highly efficient. This was unexpected. I had zero problems mucking around in DA without any incarnates at all. +4s take a little to grind down without incarnates, but all good! Nothing seemed able to kill me. Was an interesting playstyle. 

 

Thank you build importer!

 

[golstat2003]

This . . . is fantastic!!!! TY!

[America's Angel]

Updated the OP to explain the new command that's been switched on on beta:

 

/bind l "train 0"

 

It allows you to skip using a trainer when levelling up. You can just click "L" and it takes you to the power select/slot placement screen for the next level.

I'm going into Outbreak and training to 50

Wow Who knew. Can't wait to try.

Are people unaware that this is possible in Mids? No need to use discord.
