Page 15 of this thread is what you need.

Heyo. Just wanted to chime in here and let you know how much this bind rocks, Sandolphan. Been using it on my Thugs/Traps mastermind for the past few days, and I'm amazed at how much easier it's made my life.
I've played around with masterminds before, but I've never really been much into the class due to the micromanaging needed, and the fact that it was always a bit tedious doing it with the mouse. But this bind has made things infinitely simpler.
Also, kudos to you Boooom for coming up with the files needed to use the second version of the system with Thugs.

BTW if you needed the bind chain version of Thugs (first version), I had posted them earlier in the thread here when the powerset was announced. Over time the thread has grown significantly and finding all the useful information in here has become harder.

Man I wish these awesome binds could be done using macros 
I play on a laptop so no numpad.
2 options:
Get a usb keyboard (full size) or get a usb calculator with a numeric keypad (like a Kensington Pocket KeyPad Calculator).
Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters
You don't have to bind to the numpad. Try using QWE ASD ZXCV instead of numpad789 456 1230...but add shift, alt or ctrl to the bind (ie lalt+Q). I experimented with alternative setups a bit and found lalt the best, with a 'thumb-under' approach. This setup also appeals to people who don't like to take their hand off the mouse during play.
There are many ways to remap the binds; the numpad was just an easy mnemonic layout and under-utilized by most people.

Is there any way I can create the binds in text files and then use a macro to execute them? If not then ill map them to other keys or pick up a usb numpad.
Thanks.
Forgive me if this has been asked, the thread is enormous, as we all know. Does anyone know if there is a good way of giving pets insps, assuming you are located close enough?
Let's say I had added to the Khaiba bind. In addition to being able to select tiers with 0-3, I'm wondering if we can make the outer ring of the keypad (numlock / * - + Enter Del - all assuming these can be specified as the KEYPAD + or KEYPAD Enter in some way) as individual pet name selects.
Does anyone know a way to then make a bind to give a named insp or F-position insp to the selected pet?
(not directed at anyone in particular)
Just a note for those of you who like to combine emotes with their commands. I discovered that since I7 that if you issue "Stay" along with an emote, as soon as you move away the henches will Follow (not Stay). Something about issuing the emote breaks the Stay.
I haven't tried it with other commands like Goto.
Was driving me nuts when I came back to my 40 Bots/FF when I7 went live. I have "Stay" also do "em atease" to give a visual indication they are set to "stand still." Had to ditch the emote to actually get them to stay. :/

Quick question.. if you rename your pets, commands like "petcom_pow Battle" will still work, right? They can still be identified by the power name even though they aren't named "Battle Drone 1", etc?

Yes.
/petcom <command> by itself will command the currently targeted pet.
/petcom_pow <powername> <command> sends commands to all pets of the specified powername.
/petcom_name <letters> <command> gives commands to any pets with names sharing the letters given.

I've seen a few people mention that they've bound keys to equp and upgrade their bots. Could someone please post how they did so? I'd like to be able to just push one key and have the bot selected and equipped/upgraded. I'm having trouble getting both to happen.

I do mine three step:
--Select Bot from Pet List
--Press the key bound to Equip
--Press the key bound to Upgrade (which queues it up)
Then I select the next bot, wait for Upgrade to start on the previous bot, then start the cycle again on the new bot.
I've got quite a rythm going for it. My little symphony of destruction...

This has gotten lost in the muck and I think it needs alittle bump.
Don't worry, it's always accessible to everyone on the Mastermind Guides thread. Guides don't get lost or deleted (but thanks for the sentiment 
)

Im sure this guide is awesome i get the idea of what it does and it would help out so much but for someone that knows nothing about Binds like myself its all chicken scratch. I need serious help on how to do this. Any advice where to go to understand binds and such.?

I used the ADVANCED BIND GUIDE v1.1, which includes a link to the basic bind guide in the second paragraph.
