That is the case. I used a tree like that, but it didn't stop every kind of control. It just made the BUTTON4 POPMENU bind stop working until I typed it again.

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Hi,

A new popmenu I've created is behaving oddly, so I figured I'd come here for help.

The new menu has a few items, each of them saying something in Team channel. The bite of it is, any apostrophes are not getting passed along. For instance, if my menu says "I'm", that comes out in chat as "Im". Everything else that was part of the menu's contents gets included, just not the apostrophe.

(I'm sure the actual mnu file would help here. I'll include it later, I just don't have it handy right now.)

TIA

What are you using to create your PopMenu files? Could it be something that has "SmartQuotes" or a similar function? If so, it may be changing the "apostrophe" character to a higher-ASCII character that is not displayable in the PopMenu. I've seen a few things that the PopMenu simply ignores.

Or maybe you've stumbled on the "Escape" character for PopMenu... what happens if you put two single-quote marks together in the menu like "I''m"?

"Fluff" nothing, this is a GREAT idea! Even with the sliders in the interface, I never really changed anything. Now I can get the colors close to what I want and just tweak the sliders a bit.

Thanks to you, now most of my characters have GUIs that nicely match at least part of their main costume color scheme.

Of course, now my wife is bugging me to set hers up with "Just the right shade" of Neon Green to match her favorite character's costume...

Just revisiting this after the weekend derailed my train of thought...

I've got it fixed now. I copied a few of the items into Notepad from elsewhere, and when I did it must have decided to make those apostrophes some manner of funkified characters. I took a closer look at the menu items, spotted the items, and all fixed!

Thanks,

I'm glad you like it . Didn't get any replies when I posted it and figured people just didn't use it / want it.

I converted the ingame colors from the sliders (0 to 100%) to 0-255 rgb values....then I found a website that made adjustments to the 0-255 values easy in a nice visual manner. Once you have a color it's easy enough to add it to the menu list I made.

Example:

"color/character name" "window_color rrr ggg bbb xxx"

rrr = red
ggg = green
bbb = blue
xxx = transparency of window from what i remember


here is the website for easier color adjusting. Also you can screen capture that perfect green, then using the eydropper tool in something like photoshop or mspaint get the rgb values or a website hex value and punch it into the calculator below

OMG I'm Back yet again! This time I bring you a slimmed down, cleaned up version of my ingame popmenu for your use.

This menu lets you

  • Access the market (look mode for not 84 month vets and full for 84)
  • Access Incarnate Abilities
  • Access your enhancement management window (where your powers are)
  • Change fly poses, well on the fly
  • Summon temp pets & help (both factions)
  • Toggle on/off various stats ingame
  • Get info on self & others
  • Cast booster buffs
  • Change costumes or bring up the costume window
  • Change your UI colors
  • Take screenshots with/without the UI showing
  • Toggle on/off some game functions with /t feedback (supergroup mode, teleport promts)
  • And more ^_^
So because a picture is worth 1k words here's a few of the submenus...



and here is the menu code. Save into a text file named Useful_Commands.mnu

access ingame with this command /macro CMDS "popmenu Useful_Commands"

I find that they work best on the left side of the screen, otherwise it's hard to select stuff.

Code: 
//Custom commonly used commands

//can add the other popup menus here so its one file
EDIT: Removed some odd line breaks as mentioned below. This should fix the issue with it not working easily.

Some other things: I'm looking for the right badge name for the locked options for the Vanguard Costume parts if you don;t have the badge. The badge name listed on the wiki and in game doesn't work :/ Also same for the vet market access but the normal looksie toggle works fine So that line can be edited to just have a market toggle.

I Do want to add in the new Incarnate pets once I figure out how to and the Incarnate emotes/costume changes too.

That's pretty cool. I'll be trying this later.



If you want to nick my toggle buff commands from earlier in the thread to stick them in here feel free (link in my sig). Seems like a logical place for them.*

Hey there! They would be a great addition and easy enough for folks to add as another flyout menu anywhere they'd want in the list.

I'll probably be adding them myself but I rarely ever play buffers (hate buffing people), but my very few buffers could use it for sure!

I dug through the threads, but it's late and I couldn't find an answer to this question (I probably just scanned right by it):

Are hotkeys in menus restricted to the first 9 lines in the menu?

I have 14 lines, including 2 titles and a divider, in a menu and with that the last 4 lines' hotkeys don't function. The commands work if I select them with a mouse, so that isn't it. And if I comment out the divider and a title one more starts working. If I comment out the other title yet another starts working.

Here's the code, just in case I'm missing something. I'm trying to add use commands to an old inspiration combination popmenu without resorting to a second tier of submenus and another keystroke. The last six lines in each submenu are the new ones (NOTE: The copy-and-paste messed with some tabs, but it looks to have come across fine otherwise.)

I think the forums broke this code. When I copy/pasted this into a .mnu and loaded it, then tried it out, it only gets to the "Prompt Team Teleport" part and breaks. It also broke all the default keybinds so I couldn't even move my characters.

After looking at the code, there are extra line breaks here:

Quote:
Menu "&4 Team Teleport Prompt"
{
Option "See Prompt On" "option_set PromptTeleportFromTeammates 1$$t $name, Team Telepot

Prompt is Enabled!"
Option "See Prompt Off" "option_set PromptTeleportFromTeammates 0$$t $name, Team Teleport

Prompt is Disabled!"
}
After I took out the line breaks and loaded it again, it broke at vet buff pets. Again, extra line breaks:

Quote:
Menu "Vet & Buff Pets"
{
Option "&Non-Combat Pet" "powexecname Clockwork Pet$$powexecname Demon Pet$$powexecname

Redcap Pet$$powexecname Rikti Pet$$powexecname Mekman Pet"
Divider
Title "remember to turn off hover/fly"
Option "&Buff Pet" "powexecname Light Fairy Pet$$powexecname Dark Fairy Pet$$powexecname

Power Oscillator Pet$$powexecname Blue Wisp Pet$$powexecname Red Wisp Pet$$powexecname Shield Drone

Pet$$powexecname Power Drone Pet$$powexecname Shield Oscillator Pet"
}
And here:

Quote:
Menu "&Quick Screenshot Stuff"
{
Option "Screenshot with UI" "screenshotui 1$$screenshot$$t $name, UI is Enabled in

Screenshots, remember to turn it back off"
Option "Screenshot without UI" "screenshotui 0$$screenshot$$t $name, UI is disabled in

Screenshots"
Don't know if it was the forums or when you copied from notepad you had Word Wrap enabled?

Anyway, after fixing those extra line breaks it seems to work.

Oh and edit to add, now that it works, it's awesome. Thanks!

There shouldn't be any restrictions on the number of Hotkeys. I've used more than 9 before
How much have you customized from the old menu? Maybe it's something you put in causing troubles? I'm not sure by any means if it will help, but you might try one of these things:
  • Removing the comments from inside the menu structure
  • Remove empty blank lines
  • Remove the triple periods ("...") from the titles
  • Change the beginning header from:
// Inspiration Combination and Use Popmenu

Menu Inspirations
  • To:
// Inspiration Combination and Use Popmenu
//
Menu Inspirations
Of course there's also the chance that a recent update made changes to the parsing of popmenus, intentionally or otherwise...

It's definitely broken inside the original post's code block and needs to be fixed.

Hmm, I'm having a problem with a new popmenu file. I make a new MNU file for each armor set. I opened an old one, changed out the names, saved the file as stonearmor.mnu and used the ANSI encoding in Notepad when saving the file as I always do. I go into the game, type "/bind [key] popmenu StoneArmor" and get nada. I've gone through and checked everything numerous times. I've done this for all the MNU files I've made, so what am I missing this time?

Code: 
//  POPMENU File for Stone Armor – Super Strength
//
Menu "StoneArmor"
{
Title "StoneArmor"
Option "Rock Armor &1" "powexecname Rock Armor$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Rooted &2" "powexecname Rooted$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Brimstone Armor &3" "powexecname Brimstone Armor$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Crystal Armor &4" "powexecname Crystal Armor$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Minerals &5" "powexecname Minerals$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Weave &6" "powexecname Weave$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Tough &7" "powexecname Tough$$popmenu StoneArmor"
Option "Mudpots &8" "powexecname Mudpots$$popmenu StoneArmor"
}

Also a big "Thanks!" to Stargazer for bringing up the POPMENU command in that post so that I could explore it more.

First, everything technical I'm going to mention here, follows the EXACT same file syntax as FW's guide so just go there to get the layout of the Menu (.mnu) Files and come back when you're done to see how the /POPMENU command can expand on the functionality.

All right. Finally got around to futzing with this. First project, a macro menu to house all the calls for a ship raid.


Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

First off this is awesome just grabbed some scripts others wrote and messing around with them in game so thank you.

Has anyone created one for an emp? using the select member then bring up heals and buffs?

As a matter of fact, I have!

This is what I use for my Emp:
Code:
// Empathy Buffs by TheUnnamedOne
// version 0.1
//
Menu "EmpathyBuffs"
{
    Title "Empathy Buffs"
    Divider
    Title "Healing"
    Divider
    Option "Heal Other (&1)" "PowExecName Heal Other"
    Option "Absorb Pain (&2)" "PowExecName Absorb Pain"
    Option "Resurrect (&3)" "PowExecName Resurrect"
    Divider
    Title "Single Target Buffs"
    Option "Clear Mind (&4)" "PowExecName Clear Mind"
    Option "Fortitude (&5)" "PowExecName Fortitude"
    Option "Adrenalin Boost (&6)" "PowExecName Adrenalin Boost"
    Divider
    Title "Area Effect Buffs"
    Option "Recovery Aura (&7)" "PowExecName Recovery Aura"
    Option "Regeneration Aura (&8)" "PowExecName 
    Divider
}
And for the player targeting, this is my keybind file to use the Numberpad numbers for Team targeting:
Code:
NUMPAD1 "TeamSelect 1$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD2 "TeamSelect 2$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD3 "TeamSelect 3$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD4 "TeamSelect 4$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD5 "TeamSelect 5$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD6 "TeamSelect 6$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD7 "TeamSelect 7$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
NUMPAD8 "TeamSelect 8$$PopMenu EmpathyBuffs"
So to Absorb Pain on my teammate in the 4th team slot, I hit the Numberpad 4 key, then the 2 key on the top bar or click the menu item.

Ok, I'm at a loss here:

I was working on a new menu for Lambda runs in Notepad++. After creating it and taking it for a test run, I ended up getting a game crash. I wasn't sure what the problem could have been, so I restarted the game and decided to just go on my way and come back to the popmenu later.

Then I noticed ALL of my previous popmenus now crash the game. What gives? Has anyone run into this? I hadn't touched the files at all, just the new one I made this morning.

[UPDATE]

Figured it out. Somehow the new file (despite having it's own name and not sharing a similar "title") was locking up popmenus altogether. Moving it out of the folder fixed things up.

Okay, so after reading this entire thread, I have fixed my issues with formatting and what not. My question is this: Is there a way to make the window stay up after option selection? I was using it to make insps during farming and I really cannot see a reason to use it over a bind. Someone fix me?

 

Posted

No. The popmenu options are a menu selection. When you've made your selection, the menu disappears.

Actually, in the set up I had in this post, I used multiple popmenu files to allow the selections to stay up after making a selection, as well as giving an option to go back to a previous menu.

Hmm, i see what you did there. This gives me some ideas. I'll repost if i come up with anything useful.
