Customizing the QuickChat Menu

As far as I know, that's not a problem you can solve without renaming the channel. Channels with spaces in their names require quotation for the /send command, and the game's parsing for MNU files is not sophisticated enough to distinguish the inner and outer quotes.

What you could try doing, is to set your chat window to "Active Tab" (the little 'A' above the input box), rather than any specific channel. Then, rather than "beginchat /send...", use "tabselect ...$$startchat". Tabselect doesn't appear to require quotes around the tab name (and the tab name doesn't need to match the global channel either), so if you've always got global channel X in a tab named Y (and X is the default channel of Y), then you can simply move the chat focus to Y and start chatting.

For example:
Option "&5 VU2010" "tabselect virtue lfg alpha$$beginchat [$name, $level $archetype]: "

This would require that you have the chat send mode set to Active Tab, and you have a tab named "virtue lfg apha" (case insensitive) with the Virtue LFG Alpha global channel set as the default.

FW, awesome work... Now another two weeks of tinkering with my UI!

(I actually enjoy such things... not meant to be a complaint at all. )

I use a custom popmenu bound to TILDE to bring up a list of my chat tabs, and then use tabselect to switch between them. Been doing that for about 6 months now. I <3 /popmenu.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Anyone know what the new quickchat menu is for i-17 ?

The default QuickChat menu (updated for I17) can be found here. I've also updated the OP

Edit: the default MNU contains a line //Option "Hold Crate" "e HoldCrate" -- (the the text is in the file, but sine it's commented it won't appear in the menu) /e HoldCrate does not work

Still no version that has all the emotes from all the packs?

Edit: Well, I'll take a stab at figuring it out again. I failed miserably last time.

    Menu Boosters
    {
        Menu Cyborg
        {
            Option "Robot Dance"            "e dance7"
            Option "Power Down"            "e powerdown"
            Option "Power Up"            "e powerup"
        }
        Menu Magic
        {
            Option "Card Trick"            "e CardTrick"
            Option "Magic Card Trick"        "e MagicCards"
            Option "Juggle"                "e Juggle"
            Option "Juggle Balls"            "e Juggleballs"
            Option "Juggle Electricity"        "e JuggleElectricity"
            Option "Juggle Fire"            "e JuggleFire"
            Option "Juggle Magic"            "e JuggleMagic"
            
        }
        Menu Super Science
        {
            Option "Experiment"            "e experiment"
            Option "Calculate"            "e calculate"
            
        }
        Menu Natural
        {
            Option "Push Ups"            "e pushups"
            Option "Bring It"            "e bringit"
        }
        Menu Wedding
        {
            Option "Propose"            "e propose"
            Option "Throw Confetti"            "e Throw Confetti"
            Option "Throw Rose Petals"         "e ThrowRosePetals"
            Option "Throw Rice"            "e ThrowRice"
         }
    }

Still here, even after all this time!

Update on the QuickMenu

Thanks, Zombie. I've also added a hypothesis to my guide as well. Unfortunately, I can't test it. If anyone has some purchases but not others, I'd appreciate the help.

Known:
Badge A B means "A or B"

Hypothesis:
Badge A
Badge B means "A and B"

(Same for authbit)

If the hypothesis is true, the implication is that you could mix Badge and Authbit, as well. IF you have GR AND you've done the Hess TF, THEN you're allowed to execute command XYZ.

Thanks, Zombie!

I have a copy of the current QuickChat menu here. Just cut and paste it into the relevant file (see first post).

It's cleaned up with proper tabbing (at least the left side is, the right side columns may or may not line up depending how big one's tab stops are) and all the spaces removed.

It also has the Costume menu enabled. The one on Live isn't enabled because the Costume section got accidentally moved in with the hidden section.

I left the hidden section out... 'no spoilers!'

Also, Pro Tip: If you want the quickchat menu to pop up with a button on the mouse, then use this bind (and change the button you're using)...

/bind button4 "popmenu quickchat"


Also, Pro Tip #2: I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend editing the quickchat and popmenu files with this handy utility:

• Notepad++

Does anyone know what the Vanguard Sigil is locked by? I was working on a set of Costume Change menus and thats the only one I couldn't think of how it was locked. Im trying to set it so that it locks all of the costume change emotes that you don't have access too. For that matter is there one to lock based on your Archetype?

Thanks VooDoo but what I was meaning was what is the command that goes along with LockedOption{} to verify if the player has purchased Vanguard Sigil.

Fleeting Whisper, has anyone told you how epic you are... just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for the list of badges you had there. That will help out a ton when I make later quick chat edits and pop menu edits.

Edit:
Also, how in heck did you find all those I must ask?

Thanks again for all the work FW!

I was wondering, is that an exhaustive list of AuthBits or just the known ones?

I'd really like to use Menus for the character types, archetypes and even origins if they exist.

Should I just try things out or do you "know" that what's listed are all the AuthBits?
