CoH runs on OS X in virtualization mode, so the Windows files are contained in the app's package. To see the contents of the Windows directory structure they're talking about, select the City of Heroes.app, right-click and choose "Show Package Contents". From there, it's just a matter of digging into the folders, i.e. City of Heroes.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh.
If you follow the instructions in the Pop Menu thread, things should work fine.

Thank You for the info. I followed the path in and was not able to locate the file. I went ahead and followed what they had suggested and inserted my own file. It didn't work. I was snooping around and found a keybind of "|" to call a quickchat but when I was looking for the quickchat file, I could find nothing. I have the feeling that CoH for Mac has those files programmed in rather than a file that is called. I'll keep looking around the files to see what I can see.|

Thank You Again for the info though! I now know how Mac stores the files which is a big plus for me!

Sorry you couldn't get Pop Menu working. (I haven't attempted it myself yet.) At least now that you know the way OS X handles CoH's file structure, you can add things like Vidiot Maps and Badge Reporter (which I have gotten working myself).

The CoH files within the package should behave identically to the Windows version. I haven't tried editing the quick menu so I don't know why it didn't work.

This does work, as I've done it on my OSx86 install of CoH, right click the City of Heroes icon, show package contents, nvaigate to City of Heroes.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh create the folder "Data" (no quotes) then inside data create texts/English (or uk, if you are running the EU version of CoH)/Menus.
So now your path should look like City of Heroes.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh/Data/texts/English(or uk)/Menus/ now place your .mnu file in there and start the CoH client.

Thank You for the detailed info. I did it exactly as you show and I still am not getting it to work. It's almost as if it's hooked on some other location. I put in the QuickChat file as shown in the sample and made a menu entry on that. I made a brand new mnu file and still I've gotten no where with it. I was able to get it to work on a laptop that I run once in a while that runs on Windows XP, but I don't use the Bootcamp feature on my iMac so I only run Leopard OS X 10.6.5 . (I used the English setup)|

Mac is not like windows. I was working on the package content under the application folder in Finder. However, I have a shortcut on the desk top which I was using to launch CoH with. It turns out it has it's own Package Content it calls from. Once I moved the Data File over to the app I launch from the desktop, it worked just fine. I was able to call my pets and buff them just fine from the file.
Thank You All So Much for the Help! I was ready to pull out what little hair I have left. You 'All Saved Me.

I see what you did - you made a COPY of the application instead of an Alias. The desktop icon should have a black curved arrow in the lower left corner if it's an Alias - otherwise it's a copy.

Ah Ha! That's what Alias means. I havn't looked into that yet, but now I know. I am learning a little bit more as I go along. |

I found this link : Quick Chat
It looks like he's navigating through the windows files. I am not able to locate these files in the COH stuff on my Mac. Am I going to be able to run this kind of feature using the Mac Version of the game?
