Badge Reporter - In-Game badge reporting tool!
Found both of these way more useful/addicting then I thought I would
|
One thing for the Accolades, is there an authbit for each one of the history plaques individually? When going for a history badge, and going between however many alts, I just don't remember if I already hit a particular plaque through their career; kind of tedious to go after all of them even though I know I'd have hit at least one of them since they aren't currently highlighted through the menu. |
Thank you for the awesome result of your efforts. VERY much appreciated.
This tool is phenomenal. Kudos to you!! And a hearty thank you from me!!
Here's hoping it gets widespread use!
I love this tool, great job!
FYI - I don't know if its' been mentioned but it looks like we are missing the newest Brickstown badges. If I remember correctly, (I installed it last night), Brickstown only listed 4 badges.
This is fix #2 that will be in version 0.1.5 when I get a couple more changes. Thanks for spotting that!

Place a divider between old and new explore badges in the regular zones. This would help players know which badges are needed for teleport beacons.
Example:
Menu Atlas Park
Title Atlas Park
Divider
Undefeated
Silent Sentinel
Hero Corps Insider - Hero Corps Infiltrator
Patriot - International Spy
Top Dog
Freedom - Covert Operator
Divider
Edge of Chaos
Observant
Second suggestion:
Separate hazard zones to their own menu and a slight change in sort order.
Example:
Paragon City
Paragon City Hazard Zones
Rogue Isles
Rogue Isles Hazard Zones
Rikti War Zone
Praetoria
PVP Zones
etc.

I must say, this is an awesome, awesome tool, and it got me into the popmenu. I'll be using it for lots of stuff

I had tried using the LockedOption BADGE functions to key off the SuperGroup Badge names but it did not appear to work. It seemed to recognize the SG Badge names (since they were greyed out) but it doesn't appear to work since the BADGE function only works on badges awarded to the user not the SG. Now if there's a different SGBADGE LockedOption function that would be a different story but it's not "SGBADGE", I tried that already...

I might try this but since there's no way (that I have yet found) for PopMenu to access SG Badge info then I don't know how useful it would really be. Due to the ordering and naming of Explore Badges, most of the SG Badge requirements are simply all but the last 2 or 3 badges anyway.

I think Talos is the only one you have the accolade in with the rest of the badges in the latest version that I have from you (0.1.4). Good idea, but it needs a divider too.
A player doesn't need the SG beacon badge recognized, they would only need them separate from the "new" badges that don't count for the beacons.

Wow, this is awesome! Do you know if there's a way to change the color of a highlighted section if your'e missing any badges in it? So say with my badger who had 950+ badges, the "DayJobs" section would be reddish or something like that? That would help narrow down which badges I need, or if I know I'm missing a certain one, help me figure out without looking through 3 badge sections before I figure it out.

I know I already replied, but I just have to get in here and rave about this tool. It has revolutionized the way I hunt for badges. I learned about badges I didn't even know existed, and now I'm out to get them. It was much easier to figure out what I was missing for other badges as well, and focus on those to acquire those badges (especially the power accolades).
I can see this thing getting far more sophisticated with time. If this thread hasn't been stickied yet, it should be.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have not earned badges highlighted instead of earned badges? Then you make it so clicking the badges sends a tell to "$name" (yourself) saying how to earn said badge.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I can't seem to get it to work. I'm not sure why.

Would be great if that functionality worked in popmenus, but the locked options were added simply so that the default quickmenu could include all the emotes and lock out those the player couldn't use. Given that custom popmenus aren't really a supported feature, I have my doubts that the Dev's even considered implanting not having the flag as a possible "key."

This is where I copied the files to: C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\texts\English\Menus
And yes, I reloaded the client, cut and pasted the /bind statement, hit enter, and then nothing happens when I hit SHIFT+B.
I don't get any error message so the /popmenu command is being executed, but it doesn't bring up any menu.

/popmenu BadgeReporter
If not, does the following work for the standard menu:
/popmenu QuickChat
If QuickChat works, but BadgeReporter does not, make sure you have the name of the menu correct. If you input a wrong name, there is no error message.. it just does nothing. That's what it sounds like is happening.

You can get the popmenu to show if you have UNLOCKED a badge/authbit (perk/expansion), but not if something is still LOCKED.
So you can't say "show this item if it is still locked".
