Okay, it's LIVE! TheUnnamedOne presents:
The In-Game 'Badge Reporter' PopMenu Tool! 
In tonight's testing, I found that I accidently chopped out a chunk of badges and added them back in along with some more formatting to make the menus look better.
Final results for version 0.1.2 of the Badge Reporter PopMenu:
- File size: 128 KB (131,735 bytes)
- File length: 7,485 lines
- Number of internal menus: 156
- Number of Options: 1114
Also just posted a side-project to my Badge Reporter PopMenu, the Accolade Power Collector PopMenu. Track the Accolade Powers you have and learn how to get the ones you don't, right in the game!
Check it out in the Badge Reporter thread listed in my previous post.

Edit : Ought to mention here that I've also tested my own Menu system above and that choosing to hide toggles works perfectly and is a great way to hide shields and other toggles in the Team window, letting you more easily spot buffs and mezzes.
Well, this sucks. I totally misread your announcement. I thought you were going to give us the popmenu builder.
I've been waiting for it, and waiting for it, and all I've seen are custom popmenus. Went back, and re-read your post. You never said we'd get the program, just the popmenus you're working on.
*sigh* Oh well. Keep making those popmenus!!

Oh wow, THAT would have been awesome! I'd love to give it to you but I don't quite have the programming skills to do that. I'm more of a scripter and HTML-er than a programmer. I can almost think of a way to do it with VBScript and HTA but the menu-nesting would kill any attempts to do it.

Since I've made many modifications to it recently, due to Praetorian Market transporters and my own tendency to forget to set my "active mission" to red before clicking Mission Transporter, here's my latest version of my TeleTransPortals PopMenu:
Code:
I spaced out the Market Transporters into separate menus since you can have multiple powers simultaneously, whether the purchased ones or the Day Job ones. The made a change to them sometime not too long ago that causes them to act differently. If you have multiple Market Transporters and tried to put them all on one PowExecName command, only the LAST one would fire and if you were not in the right "Side" for that Market Transporter, it would fail with an error message. You have to actually be in a Blue-side zone to use a Consignment House Transporter, Red-side zone to use a Black Market Transporter and Gold-side zone to use a Trading House or Underground Transporter.// Teleportation, Transporter and Portal Powers
// Written By: TheUnnamedOne
// Version 0.1.7
//
Menu TeleTransPortals
{
Title "Choose your destination"
Option "&Base Teleporter" "PowExecName Base Transporter"
Option "&Mission Transporter" "t $Name, Did you select your Active Mission yet?$$PowExecName Mission Transporter"
Option "&Ouroboros Portal" "PowExecName Ouroboros Portal"
Option "Pocket D &VIP Pass" "PowExecName Pocket D VIP Pass"
Menu "&Purchased Auction Transporter"
{
Option "&Black Market Transporter" "PowExecName Black Market Transporter"
Option "&Consignment House Transporter" "PowExecName Consignment House Transporter"
Option "&Trading House Transporter" "PowExecName Trading House Transporter"
Option "&Underground Transporter" "PowExecName Underground Transporter"
}
Menu "&Day Job Auction Teleporter"

Option "&Day Trader Teleporter" "PowExecName Day Trader Teleporter"
Option "&Marketeer's Teleporter" "PowExecName Marketeer's Teleporter"
}
Menu "&Enhanced Day Job Auction Teleporter"
{
Option "&Day Trader Teleporter" "PowExecName Enhanced Day Trader Teleporter"
Option "&Marketeer's Teleporter" "PowExecName Accelerated Marketeer's Teleporter"
}
Divider
Title "Summon your teammates"
Option "&Assemble the Team" "PowExecName Assemble the Team"
}
I also added a bit that sends yourself a Tell when you activate Mission Transporter from the menu asking if you remembered to set your Active Mission. With the long activation time of Mission Transporter, you have plenty of time to interrupt it and fix it before wasting your chance for the next 30 minutes and possibly end up 3 zones away from where you need to be.
After creating the .MNU file in your Menus folder, I suggest using a Macro with this one:
/Macro TP "PopMenu Teletransportals"
Btw, you have 2 copies in that code block.

After you've made a exreporter.mnu (or similarly named file), you can access in game with:
/popmenu exreport
Or make a bind/marco for it similar to the ones above.
I'm currently working on an unlockables reporter for vanguard/weapons/vet costumes/contacts/and missions (certain badge missions and mayhem/safeguard completions).

As far as the CoV DVD, I've tried the following (both as badge and authbit):
COV_DVD_Edition
COV_DVD_Edition_CapeCostume
COV_DVD_Edition_CapeCostume_DVD
COV_DVD_Edition_EmblemCostume
COV_DVD_Edition_EmblemCostume_DVD
The other problem is that I have the CoV DVD so I can't tell a false positive (any error shows "true") from a true positive on my account.
As for the Macpack, I've tried macpack1 as both a badge and an authbit with no luck. Again, I have it so I can't tell a false positive from a true positive. Though when I was running my second account during reactivation I had a "positive" result even though I didn't have the mission transporter on that account.

little issue with one of the popmenus I came up with tonight.
While trying to use the popmenu to create macros (so I can just load the popmenu whenever I wish to impliment a new macro to a toon) only the first command before the $$ actually saves as the macro, and the string itself triggers regardless.
I'm also getting "chat_send" coming up as an error when I try to send to my own channel. Even though its listed on the paragonwiki site (So I can notify myself of taunts, binds etc without having to /t $name and having two things pop up, also I can keep it in a new window)
and finally team_select 1 (and other numbers to 8) brings up the number as an error message.
here's the current code.
Code:
//

}

Option 8 "Assist 8" "team_select 8$$chat_send Team Assisting $target$$chat_send Flints Assisting Teammate 8 $target$$assist$$powexec_name Taunt$$face$$powexec_auto Quick Strike"
}
}
Multiple-action macro making has been acting wonky for I don't know how long. The last time I tried to make a macro that did more than one thing, it didn't work.
I found I had to just do /macro <NAME> meh and then manually edit the macro to make it do what I wanted.

I think you can fix this with power and inspiration names by substituting an underscore _ for any spaces but this does NOT work with the Macro command because Macro can only take exactly 2 arguments: the Macro Name and the commands to execute. Since most commands inherently have spaces in them, commands passed to Macro that have a space ANYWHERE in it must be enclosed with quotes or else you'll get a Macro command error.
You might be able to fix the "Chat Send" issue by creating a new chat channel with no spaces in the Channel Name.

It's possible to work around this with multiple keys to make the selection at the time you launch the PopMenu:
Code:
TeamSelect 5$$PopMenu Macros
One more note: The BindLoad and BindLoadFile commands also do not work correctly within a PopMenu. They work, but the binds loaded do NOT take effect until you exit and restart City of Heroes. Not very useful there.
I managed to get around the macro issue by making black macros and copy and pasting the information in while editting, as even just making a macro with those command only shows the first command.
the Team Select 5$$Popmenu Macros seems to be a good idea, its just a case of being able to quickly select a teammate and taunt their target without having to click the mouse.
Hi there,
I'm loving what this command is opening up for me! Let me describe what I've got so far and what I'm trying to do...
I'm using this in one of its most obvious places, MM commands. Below is a sample of the file I'm using to issue commands to my Battle Drones:
Quote:
That's great, as far as it goes. But let me ask this: is it possible to set those keypress options up such that they will respond to either the 1 up on the top row of the keyboard, or the numpad1 key? Barring that, I can replace "&1" with "&numpad1" to make it respond to that key, right?|
// POPMENU File for setting Battle Drones' aggression and orders. // Menu "BDrones" { Menu "&1 Aggressive" { Option "&1 Attack" "petcompow Drones agg att" Option "&2 Follow" "petcompow Drones agg fol" Option "&3 Stay" "petcompow Drones agg stay" Option "&4 GoTo" "petcompow Drones agg goto" } Menu "&2 Defensive" { Option "&1 Attack" "petcompow Drones def att" Option "&2 Follow" "petcompow Drones def fol" Option "&3 Stay" "petcompow Drones def stay" Option "&4 GoTo" "petcompow Drones def goto" } Menu "&3 Passive" { Option "&1 Attack" "petcompow Drones pas att" Option "&2 Follow" "petcompow Drones pas fol" Option "&3 Stay" "petcompow Drones pas stay" Option "&4 GoTo" "petcompow Drones pas goto" } Option "&4 Dismiss" "petcompow Drones Dismiss" } |

No. Unfortunately, it looks like the Devs never spent much time on the QuickChat and PopMenu menu code. No one yet has found a way to have the Keypad keys respond to a PopMenu hotkey. The & also seems to only respond to the character right after it so if you used "&numpad1" the menu would treat it as "n" being the hotkey.|

We can do some cool things with PopMenu but it's almost like trying to create old Commodore64 BASIC programs to do things in a C++ world.
LOAD "*",8,1
OK, found this today and can't say how happy I am to have found it. I keep all my trays so full its not even funny, and never use the Quickchat, so this is going to be a blessing of unparalleled magnitude!
But I can't get it to work!
I've made the nested folders (texts, English and Menus) in the data folder so I have the c:\program files\city of heroes\data\texts\English\Menus\quickchat.mnu file.
I then made a notepad file, titled quickchat.mnu that contains the following, which was stolen lock stock and barrel from this thread:
Code:
When I go in game, the quickchat button on the chat GUI does nothing. I click, nothing happens. When I use the "/popmenu" command in the chat area, nada.Menu QuickChat
{
Menu "TeleportersH"
{
Title "Teleport to..."
Divider
Option "&Ouroboros Citadel" "powexecname Ouroboros Portal"
Option "&Supergroup Base" "powexecname Base Transporter$$powexecname Base Teleporter"
Option "&Pocket D" "powexecname Pocket D VIP Pass"
Option "&Wentworth's" "powexecname Consignment House Transporter$$powexecname Day Trader Teleporter$$powexecname Enhanced Day Trader Teleporter"
Option "&Active Mission" "powexecname Mission Transporter"
}
}
No errors are reported, nothing happens.
HELP PLEASE! I really, really want this to work. I'm a coding idiot, but relatively comfortable as a user...
EDIT: I get now, after some more experimentation, that the new popmenus don't go inside the quickchat, and I now have a workable TP macro for all my temp and other teleportation powers. Whoops.
I still can't get it to make the quickchat menu work though... help on that would still be appreciated.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

That and the "&Pocket D" the & is for the key command such as Option "Pocket D &3" would trigger the Pocket D transporter after pressing the popmenu and key "3"

I noticed something interesting PopMenu-related tonight while playing...
When you right click a power, the UI opens what looks exactly like a PopMenu based on that power. The menu contains a highlighted option for viewing the power's "Info" which opens the Power description window just like if you clicked on the bracketed power name (e.g. [Sprint]) that someone typed into a Chat Channel. And if the power is a Temp Power with charges or time limit, then it's directly access the power information in your character to display the charges or time left.
This means the PopMenu command/function has some kind of direct access to the Powers data, at the very least an undocumented hidden command that opens power description windows. Maybe even some more dynamic functions that we haven't found yet.
Of course, I have no idea how to access this yet, but I'll keep it brewing for a bit and see if anything comes of it.
There was something else that was very PopMenu-like that I saw tonight but can't remember what it was...

As for the powers, I'm nearly 100% sure they are dynamically generated. All of the bracketed links are just that: links. Basically you are seeing a generated popup, just as you would in HTML.

I can't imagine the Devs would create multiple different menuing frameworks in the client that look exactly like each other and perform almost the same thing. I'm sure that the right-click power popups are POPMENU-compatible code. Has anyone been able to "deconstruct" the code for a power popup?
There's plenty of undocumented stuff that's just waiting for us to find. I recently stumbled upon a chat variable -- $side -- that I have never seen referred to anywhere else. Admittedly it's not very useful but I'm sure there's more of those, just like I'm sure there's more popmenu menu file keywords that we haven't found yet.

Like with HTML, you don't technically have to use a webpage to get the webserver to give you data, you just have to give the webserver the correctly formatted code that it's expecting from the webpage. There has to be SOMETHING on the client that makes the request for the generated power info popup. That's what I'd love to find.

There are, like RapidShare and MediaFire, but they generally have various delays and stuff before you can download.
I think FilePlanet, however, is free, and easy to download from... Since it's from IGN, it's main focus is gaming.
