What are the odds of getting Mids passed to someone who can actually fix the program rather than talk about fixing it. Seems St0n3y is on track to doing just that. Thanks St0n3y for taking the initiative and mad love for not throwing out imaginary deadlines that you can't meet. This site has about zero credibility left and I'm over the excuses. Never be to proud to ask for help or admit you can't do something. Feel free to shred me, I dont care.
Life gets in the way sometimes. I can understand that.

*ATTENTION*
Mids is moving forward.
Here's the plan:
Because we're so close to Issue 16 Open Beta, we want the Issue 16 version of Mids to be the next public release. We're going to have a tight group of testers to get an up-to-date, clean-as-possible version out for Issue 16. You'll probably see test builds floating around all over the place.
If you use one of those test builds,
BACK UP YOR FILES
- AND / OR -
SAVE BUILDS IN A DIFFERENT FOLDER ALTOGETHER
Anyone who is watching this thread and will be a dedicated tester to make the new Mids as clean as possible, sign up in this thread. If you just want the test builds, watch the official forums. They'll be all over it once Issue 16 hits Open Beta.
That is all for now.

:o Pick me!

You speakith, Titan bringith.
St0n3y is now a full-fledged Titan! He will be lead on the Mids' project and I will be his code-monkey backup that does all the shifty work with the code. Energy Aura will be his right-hand man relating to the numbers and such. Got ourselves a well rounded team here with st0n3y at the head of it.
They'll tell you more as we progress!

Im generally quiet on these forums, But willing to test the new Mids. Also my wife (who doesnt use Titan, but loves mids/CoX works QA for a software development firm) would love to take a crack at it.
Though How badly do you want your testers to try breaking the program? The spectrum me and her joke about goes from "Lois Lane getting kidnapped yet again" (every day use) to "Doomsday fighting Superman with a Kryptonite Baseball Bat." (I didn't know you could even attempt to do that).
Also Will this be a PC only test, or multi platform?
-
Windows only - the multi-platform Mids is not available yet (nor any deadline for it).

Test everything you can think of, TRY to break it as best you can...then just remember what you did when it broke so we can see if it's something that no one ever should've done so we aren't going to fix it, or how badly it affects the system so we need to fix it asap.
LOL @ the jokes.

The most important part of testing making errors reproducible. Break the program as best you can, so long as you can give repo steps for the developers to see exactly how to break it in the same way.
-
if there excists a list of tester move me in there please
is the actual official version of mids the one to test or the inofficial ones?
-
It will be the official version.
-
Correction. Cath's Test Crew will be testing both.
As of right now it will be the unofficial st0n3y build (getting it all wrapped up and put into installer format in the next few hours here). And the crew will be the guys/gals who find all the bugs and issues and make it easier for us to address them.
In a nutshell, anyone who joins this team will be sort-of expected to help us out for all future builds of Mids. It is true that these people will by playing with official beta versions of Mids before anyone else, but the team also has the obligation to report any issues in a well formatted thread that Cath has prepared.
We're not going to pressure anyone into doing this, but we're giving the users more say in what goes on, and power of the progress of their favorite Titan application. It's a win-win situation!

Welcome St0n3y and thanks!
-
I'll be glad to help test it. I found and reported quite a lot of bugs when Mids was at the helm.
-
I will be glad to help out with testing. ive been following this thread for a while, but dont tlak much over here. But if im testing that will change. I also got some time on my hands and love the MIDS program
-
I'll put my name for the beta testers 'lite'. I'm willing to help try to break the program but I don't know if I use it enough* or in such a way to cause it to toss errors. ;)

* = I use Mids to create builds for my existing characters but rarely do 'what-if' builds.

Excellent.
Now who do I send my check to?
Of course there was a similar post. That's me too.
-
lol, St0n3y just showed me a similar post on the OF.
donations@cohtitan.com via PayPal if you're serious. All funds go into keeping Titan's servers solvent.
And all 3 active admins have access, so no foul play whatsoever.

In good or bad fashion, becoming a member of Titan does that to you ;).

Ok, everyone who requested to be added to the Mids' Testers via this thread (exclusively) has been added.
Any additional requests should be sent via email or PM to me. We do not have a limit, but we would like people with some Q&A abilities/experience, not just state the obvious a bunch of times, lol.
These threads are designed for the Mids' Team to collaborate with the users, please attempt to stay on topic.
The new forum should be the first in the list under "CoH Planner" section on the forum. Titled: "Testing Crew".

Sounds like everything is going well, with a new version coming soon. I knew everyone pulling together would make it work for the best. I use Mid's Hero Designer a lot, but don't know if I would be any good at beta testing, so I'll just support from the sidelines. Best of luck to the endeavor, and once you have it all set up, I'll download the up-to-date version,and be sure to do some donating, when I'm back to work.
Thanks again for all the hard work.

Did you want to be part of the testing crew?
P.S. Thanks for the donation.

Not really that sounds like a responsibility.

Haha. Okay. Not a problem.

Been reading the forums for quite some time and try to keep as up to date as possible with them, recently noticed you were looking for people to beta test the next official release of Mids, and would love the chance to help out, I think of myself as an expert at breaking things and then breaking them again so I know what I did wrong the first time lol, so sign me up and keep up the good work guys.
-
Looking forward to tooling around with an official updated version (even if it's a pre-release). I've been playing with the unofficial I16 update but haven't made too many serious builds because I don't want something to break when things get sorted out. :P
-
Anyway Mid's Designer could be made Mac compatible?

Not specifically Mids, but we are working on several cross-platform planner options. Stay tuned for announcements on those!
-
Good to hear, I'm getting tired of having to fire up VMWare each time I wanna tool around with Mids on my MacBook. :P
-
have you looked into Mono Framework or WINE?

Well, it'd be Darwine.

Looks like Stony and Steiner have a release candidate out for I16 Mids' :)

Si Senor.
It is quite nice having Stoney and Energy Aura do all the hard work while I just make it work with their data, lol.

Awesome, can't wait to see the new release!
