Basic Popmenu

Create a file in notepad with the following:

//Summonin' Dem Thugz!!
//
Menu "Thugs"
{
Title "Callin' The Posse"
Option "&1 Call Thugs" "powexec_name Call Thugs"
Option "&2 Call Enforcer" "powexec_name Call Enforcer"
Option "&3 Call Bruiser" "powexec_name Call Bruiser"
Option "&4 Gang War!!" "powexec_name Gang War"
Divider
Title "Thug Buffin'"
Option "&5 Equip Thugs" "powexec_name Equip Thugs"
Option "&6 Upgrade Equipment" "powexec_name Upgrade Equipment"
}

Save it as a .MNU file (ie: Thugs.mnu)

Then in game type in the follwing:

/MACRO "Thugs" "POPMENU THUGS"

First "%%" (ie: Thugs) is the button name.
Second "%%" (ie: THUGS) is the name of the *.mnu file stored in "\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\texts\English\Menus"


This will allow all Sumon and Enhance/Upgrade power to be selected from 1 button.

NOTE: you need to create the files BEFORE you start the game as it reads for these files when it starts.
Or create during the game but restart.

Interesting. I am guessing it might be more useful for someone that isn't a hysterical button clicker with his mouse like I am, especially useful on a laptop setup.

More details on the Popmenu command can be found here.

I have found this simple command to be a huge help, not just for Masterminds, but for all of my characters. I have a popmenu with all of the Veteran Rewards, so I no longer have to keep a tray open for them. After the tear off trays were added recently, I changed my UI to have up to four of them (including the original) up at all times. With the popmenu, I've managed to eliminate most of them, and now I only have two.

In addition, I used to have to have two trays for Masterminds, as I needed one for all the summons and equips, and the other for my own personal powers. Now I just need the one. (I have two, like I said, but only the one popmenu takes the place of all my summoning powers)

I basically have the main tray at the lower right, and then at upper left, under the target window, I have a 6x2 tray with the popmenus as the first options in the tray. For Masterminds, I have three macros, one for the Vet rewards, one for the summoning commands, and one for pet commands that have chat phrases assigned to them. (I just use the keys for "silent" commands, but I can select to say something if I want my teammates to overhear)

And for those who still don't get it, how about a picture? (This is from the post I linked to, not mine)
