Nero_Virtue

I want to be able to summon two dark knights to my left and right side, they should /broadcast We demand... A SHRUBBERY!* and vanish!
No. wait... this is brilliant! Instead, i'll summon Rick James and Charlie Murphy. While everyone is distracted watching them fight, i'll carry out my evil plan.
What was the question again?
Oh yeah... I'll have a cheese burguer and... no, that wasn't it...

I got nothing...

How about an exploding cigar in someone else's mouth? We light it with a pistol-shaped lighter... kaboom!
THEN, you give a second cigar, you pull out the pistol lighter and a "BANG" flag comes out?
Ah. Brilliant. (hopes no one remembers)

You bring marshmallows. No. I make joke. You like laugh? I like comebacks and confessions.

You might want to check Winza's guide for binds:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...part=1#2435314

Other than that, lemme try to make an easy tutorial for you.
For the tutorial purpose, i'm going to bind all sentences to the numeric pad 0 key. It's one of the keys that has a "special" name as binds go, numpad0 (check Winza's guide for the others)

Start by making a directory to store your bind files and memorize the path to it. c:\binds\ for instance

Now make a new text file. Mine are numeric (1.txt, 2.txt...) but they can be anything you want.
Edit that file, with notepad or whatever.
Let's make your character say something on the local channel by just pressing the numpad0.
Your first text file will need to be (ignore <>'s when you actually type this):

numpad0 "local <your sentence here>$$ bind_load_file <second file in your directory>.txt"

Save.
That's it. Decomposing it:
numpad0 - sets the bind key to the 0 key of the numeric pad. Pretty self explanatory
"local <your sentence here> - Makes your character actually say something in the local channel in-game. local Hi! would make you say "Hi!". This is as simple as it gets.
$$ - (don't forget a space after these.) These tell the game that another command is coming.
bind_load_file <second file in your directory>.txt - Loads the next file in your directory. If you go with numeric files like i did, it would be: bind_load_file 2.txt thus loading sentence number two.

Make your second file. Edit:

numpad0 "local <your second sentence here>$$ bind_load_file <third file in your directory>.txt"

Save. It's the same as the first, you obviously just change the sentence and the next file to link to.

Repeat these steps until you have all your sentences ready in their own little files.

On the last file though... Make, edit:

numpad0 "local <your last sentence here>$$ bind_load_file <FIRST file in your directory>.txt"

Save. That way it's cycling. Wouldn't want you stuck on the same sentence forever now would we?

When that is done, start CoH and whatever character you want to use those sentences type:
/bind_load_file <the path to your first file>
/bind_load_file c:\binds\1.txt (for instance)
You only need to load it once. It will stay in memory for that character.

This is the first tutorial i ever made, so it might be confusing. But post whatever questions you have and i'll try to answer them. Cheers!

I just need one key. Numpad0 for me = silly attack phrase = "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"

I have one folder on my hdd with 70+.txt files.
1.txt would be...
numpad0 "local Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!$$ taunt1$$ bind_load_file c:\binds\2.txt"

2.txt would be...
numpad0 "local I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick [censored], and im all out of bubblegum!$$ taunt1$$ bind_load_file c:\binds\3.txt"

Each leads to the next and the last leads to 1.txt.
It's that simple. One key. One million random sayings.

(pardon the bad syntax in the commands. Sneaking a post at work ) And you only need to type bind_load_file c:\binds\1.txt once. Even if you log out, it will stay in memory. The correct bind file loaded and all.

My bind files actually have more junk in them, like newspaper headlines, but you get the idea for just the phrases.

Cheers.

I'm silly. That's how I am. I can't take many things seriously when I'm online. Even when testosterone discussions escalate in groups I'm in, i just get out the ;newspaper and go get a drink until the kids train something, disband/kill each other.

Anyway... I'm that clown that is always saying something completely out of context, in the wrong situations, sometimes when people are discussing strategy (not that I'm not listening) or in the middle of fights.

So basically, the situation is this:
I /bind canned humor. What canned humor? Well, lately the canned humor are catch phrases from the 80's and early 90's.
I have one bind cycling 70+ phrases. Some are as is, some I've adapted.
I guess the most blatant one would be: "OMG, they killed Synapse! You bastages!"
But you can imagine. Steal every famous superhero phrase "My spidey sense is tingling"(even though i have absolutely nothing to do with spiders) to "Freeze! This is Miami Vice!" or "You're the weakest link... GOODBYE!"
There are alot, these are by no means the funniest, but from a list of 70+, i can't recall that many at work

I don't really have a system, i might be saying (local) some attack phrase like that on every other group of mobs we attack, i might only say them on bosses, but 95% of the time i'm getting "lol"s on every sentence.
The other 5% are usually on those groups where no one says ANYTHING for 2 hours. You just grind, grind, grind. Or on groups where someone will start venting because you dropped <insert AoE power here> on that group of mobs when everyone was looking at their shoe laces...
The silent ones bother me. They do.
So what I ask is this... Is canned humor bad? Should I stop my silly emotes if I get no response? Am I being annoying? Is there a net-etiquette rule of thumb for stuff like this? Maybe I shouldn't care at all and be goofy all I want? On the other hand, when my chat window only has 5 sentences, they're all local and they're my emotes... I worry.

(Ok, fine, i have some original sentences there somewhere, but the ones from TV shows in the 80's are much funnier :P
Cut that jibba jabba!)
((God, i'm old.))

It's my honor to aid THE uber of that fine art that is silly macro/bind making.
