((I don't have time to read the entire thread. So appologize if this has already been pointed out.
The Hive exploration badge section is missing about 6 badges. It just lists heart of hami and time bandit. There are a total of 8 badges I think.
Edit: I used to tool to see several areas where I am missing explore badges. I just got the accolade for all the Terra Volta badges.
This list shows I have:
Conjunction Junction
Meltdown
Nervous Dreck
It shows I do not have:
Transmogrified - This is not an explore badge. It is the badge for completing the Terra Volta Respecification Trial.
It should also list:
Guardian of the Volts
Danger! Danger!
Scrap Heap of History
Power Walker
High Voltage
BTW... thanks this tool is real awesome.

You have a really old version. Both of those issues are fixed in newest version.
Newest version of Badge Reporter is done.
Issue 23 badges have been added with most of the info. Some I23 badges still need a little bit more info, which I will add as I get it. Because I23 has been added, some SetTitle numbers will be off until I23 hits Live servers. You can still set badge title under the in game badge list however.
A couple of new features in this release.
Badges are now sorted into different main catagories. They are
- PW Catagories
- InGame Order
- Alphabetical
- By Issue
- Recent Adds
1. PW Category - Badges listed in same Category/Sub Categories as Paragon Wiki lists them. A few have additional subcategories for display purposes (ie. to many badges in one list to fit on screen (defeats/Gladiators))
2. InGame Order - Same order as in game
3. Alphabetical - Self Explanatory
4. By Issue - Badges listed by issue they were released in game. They are in the present categories though.
5. Recent Adds - Badges that came out in the current issue or that are in Beta and to be released.
Hopefully this ordering will help anyone find the badge they may be looking for.
AutoTargeting for defeat style badges has been changed as well. Now when choosing AutoTarget, an entry on your chatline is loaded for the bind. In order to create the bind, choose "Load AutoTarget File" from Badge Reporter for whichever badge, and then press [Enter] twice. (once brings chat in focus, the second creates the bind)
Your [TAB] key will now just tab to the alive enemy that you need to defeat.
To reset [TAB] back to the default, choose "Reset AutoTarget" from BadgeReporter.
Powers from badges (accolades/Day jobs) will now open the Power Info for the power it self.
All the images in Badge Help have been updated to current images.
I still need to add a Credits page, but for now -
Special thanks to:

Hi there,
Sorry for being a n00b and my complete technical incompetence.... But ( there is always a but isn't there ? ) I can't get this working 
1, I downloaded the "All 3 versions"
2, Extracted the zip file to my data folder ( It created a folder called "BadgeReporterALL")
3, Started COH and made the 3 macros. ( Only the Help one works and it pulls up the standard COH help menu )
Looking at the older threads, I would guess I need to copy the contents of "BadgeReporterALL" and put that in my Data folder ( overwriting the "texture_library" folder ? ) Is that correct or have I completely missed the whole idea ?
Once again so sorry for not being at all technical, it is a wonder I managed to extract the files in the first place 
Many thanks in advance
Electra

Yes that is correct. You will be adding to/overwriting the texture_library folder (as well as Texts if you already have one)|

The end result will be:
Code:
City Of Heroes
Data
texture_library
Badge_Reporter (Folder with lots in it)
Texts
English
Help
Help.txt
Menus
BRBinds (Folder with lots in it)
BadgeReporterClassic.mnu
BadgeReporterExpanded.mnu
But what if like me your a total idiot and have know idea where to start to install this little gem.
Are there any step by step instructions for old computer dummies like me. My last class of computers i took
10 print happy
20 goto 10
run
i mean thats about all i got in konputer skill or lack thereof.
if i have instructions that are detailed i can follow it.
Any help would be most altruistic and helpful to the person that can post it.
thanks in advance for any help
No prob at all. The install instructions are at beginning and middle of this thread, but I will repost again.
Download and save the BadgeReporterAll version. Once it gets downloaded, double click the file to open it. Inside you will see a folder called "BadgeReporterAll". Double click the folder to open it. You will now see 2 folders called "Texts" and "texture_library". These 2 files you want to copy to inside of your City of heroes Data folder. By default, the data folder is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSoft\City of Heroes\Data\ (for 64 bit windows) or C:\Program Files\NCSoft\City of Heroes\Data\ (for 32 bit windows)
If you have them copied in the right space, you should see files at:
C:\Program Files\NCSoft\City of Heroes\Data\Texts\English\Help\Help.txt
C:\Program Files\NCSoft\City of Heroes\Data\Texts\English\Menus\BadgeReporterExpan ded.mnu
and a few other files.
(there are over 500 total files, but if those 2 are in the right place, the others should be as well)
To use the menus/help - refer to previous post for the macros

...That would have been me that mentioned it to you, dear MG. Thank you for re-writing and updating the code for all of us. I am still (at this very moment) cranking on the old version, and thought it was time for me to check the forums finally (after you told me weeks ago it had been updated) and get the new version. It's a serious godsend. |

So it has since been rewrote. It's still in testing atm, but I will post the download link for now. The order of some badges may be off (ie Badge Collection Achievements), but all the current badges should be listed. I have pulled the other older versions for now, but should have the Extended as well as the help file (with new pics) posted by the end of the week. Any problems found with this version will also be fixed by then.
Again, sorry for not keeping this updated, I just had not been playing at all for a while..
Current Version as of 5-08-2012
