Fleeting Whisper

Probably not a requirement to uninstall the old version, but as with most programs, if you're downloading and installing a new version, uninstalling the old version is probably a good idea, anyway.

You won't lose your builds, so no worries there.

As far as I know, aside from the data files which are just plain text, the "database" is just an arbitrarily binary packed file with all the necessary information. I could be wrong on the specifics of that, but attempting to document the Mids' database format would likely be an exercise in traipsing through a set of source code files to reverse engineer the documentation.

I am willing to tell you, however, that the cross-platform Mids' I'm in the process of building is using Apache Derby to store program data in a fully relational SQL database. The database editor I'm implementing will be different from the one that exists in Mids' currently.

Currently, in Mids', the database editor directly modifies the stored data used to display things in the program. In the version I'm developing, the database editor won't touch the data at all. Instead, it will develop a second schema representing the changes you've made. Your changes will override the values in the main schema (thanks to the wonders of Outer Join), but this format means that at any time you can undo your changes to the database (when your changes are deleted, the 'official' values reassert themselves), and any updates to the database won't override your changes (they're still listed as changes in your schema, and will still override the new, updated values).

Please recall, however: the Cross-platform Mids' Hero Designer is being built from the ground up. There is no projected release date for the program, and Mids' will be .Net only for some time yet. Apologies, Mac and Linux players!

And is cursed to be entranced by beautiful things, and to be unable to create beauty.

Maybe it's like Time Not?

These are robots:

Myth. The truth is that healing can be useful. Healers are not

That's what I16 is for!

You can also use a self-rez. And Howling Twilight works on you just fine (since it doesn't need a target). And through what's most likely an unfixable bug as a consequence of the way the powers system and networking work, it is possible for an ally to use powers like Fallout, Vengeance, and targeted resurrection powers, it's just extremely unintuitive and probably shouldn't be happening at all.

Technically, all knockback is radial... from caster... which could be a pseudopet you drop in the middle of the spawn (eg: Bonfire).

But what if the room contains a "deactivate robot guardians" button?

It was ready yesterday. Note that the previous version of Mids' is pointing at Mids' website (honorableunited.co.uk, IIRC) to check for updates, rather than the Titan-controlled cohplanner.com. In order to get I16 Mids' Hero Planner, you have to uninstall your version of the program, and download the new version from cohplanner.com.

Future versions will be capable of auto update, since the I16 version also now looks to cohplanner.com for updates.

Steiner and St0n3y are different individuals. People were getting frustrated with Steiner for not updating Mids' fast enough for their liking (since he also manages other parts of the Titan Network), St0n3y created an excellent unofficial update, and Steiner brought him on as an official member of the Mids' team.

Speaking of HeroStats, I've been using it with Windows 7, and it's worked wonderfully until yesterday. When I tried to run it yesterday (trying out I16 on my Kin), HeroStats alone took up half of each of my two CPUs, as well nearly twice the RAM of Firefox. With HS running, CoH was chugging along at about 4-5fps (or more like 0.5fps if I was somewhere busy, like the market or the tailor yesterday). Shutting HS down bounced me straight up to 30fps.

Always puzzling, though. You can be standing not 2 feet from a target, and get the "Target out of range" message.

No. The final placement of the location target can only be with the left mouse button.

Most (non-purple) damage procs are 15-20% chance, with 20% being far more common. In fact, I can't think of any damage procs with a 10% chance, and the only one with a 15% chance I can think of is Touch of Death. I believe all (non-purple) damage procs deal 71.8 damage. Purple damage procs are 33% for 107.1 damage. (Damage stats listed are for characters fighting as lv50)

Ignoring ToD, that makes non-purple procs average to 14.36 damage per activation, and purple damage procs average to 35.343.

Six, for SoA

I'm posessive of my pet's!

Public works?

I believe it's in the works to make it a toggleable option. I'm not sure about the ordering issue, though.

It's not a bug, but a feature, for the 60mo Veteran Reward. I believe the next release is planned to have a button to toggle whether you have the 60mo reward or not.
