A little present for you guys

Updated to v0.3 - Changes listed below

I've been working on these for a while and have been meaning to post them on the forums for others to use but kept putting it off to improve them, but now is as good a time as any to post them.

Anyway, they are a set of popmenu files that will allow you to remove all those rarely used sprints, vet powers, accolades, and other stuff into two small buttons. It also includes shortcuts to use every costume change emote with every costume.

Screenshots



Instructions

For those of you who know how to use these; click here to download them, then make a macro that creates the 'Start' popmenu.

For those who don't:

  1. Close the game if you have it open
  2. Find the 'data' folder in your CoH directory (if you don't have one, make one) - It should be something like "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\Data"
  3. Download this file and extract the 'texts' folder from it into your data folder
  4. Start up the game
  5. Type this, exactly:
    Quote:
    /macro S popmenu start
  6. Hit enter
  7. You should now have a button that says 'S' in your power tray, click that and you'll get a small menu up. Each option in this menu will create another button that will in turn open up one of the other menus

Change log

v0.3
  • Fixed Villain Power menu not spawning from the Start menu

v0.2
  • Fixed Vanguard Medal not working
  • Added a Villan Power menu (Thanks to Evils for the help )
  • Removed the 'Hero' tag from the costume menu as it works for both factions


Please post any feedback/suggestions/requests here - I'd be happy to make a few variations of these if people want them.

Thanks, and I hope people find these useful

Didn't BABs talk about some reason against putting Booster Pack or unlockable emotes in the emotes menu?

They had no way of limiting it to only the ones you had available.

Rather then frustrating people with reminders of what they can't do they only used the ones everyone has.

Very, very nice indeed! Thank you!

Nope.

The Villain one doesn't work, as the line for it in Start has "macto" rather than "macro"

This is great, however. I've been too lazy to make my own popmenus :P

Oops. I'll fix it in a min.

It's actual name is 'powers1v' if you want to manually make one for now.

Many thanks for this great little present! I think I will tinker around a bit with those ideas you have given me. Should clean up that pesky lot of power bars just nicely.




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Was this popmenu thing something that was added along with the extra trays? Because I don't remember us having the ability to mod ANY part of our UI in that way before aside from Vidiotmaps.

So what else is there that's moddable by third party developers?

Fleeting Whisper did a post about them being customizable several months ago... or was that a different type of editable menu? I can't recall now and am too lazy to look for the post.

Orion, wouldn't it make more sense for the "No Emote" costume change option to be under "Standard" and not "Special"? After all, it is standard to not have an emote to use at all, well at least it was before they were made.

I guess it should be - I'll change that in the next update
