Hello, Homecoming! I'm thrilled to be back, and even more excited for some minor improvements to my old mastermind binds! What follows is a minor adaptation from a guide I authored (based on another's work, see below) waaaay back in 2006.
Overview
The guide to these controls was initially posted on the Official Forums by Sandolphan. Sandolphan's Mastermind Numeric Keypad Pet Controls.
These controls are very intuitive, easy to set up, and quite possibly the most powerful set of pet controls yet devised.
The 9 key, go-to, is extremely useful. By using this command often, you gain the ability to flank your foes, clear your henchmen from doorways (teams will love you!) and set up ambush attacks.
Control Scheme
The active controls can be categorized by which row the key appears on on the number pad.
1-Row and 0 : Select what pet to command
0: All Pets
1: "Minion" Pets
2: "Lieutenant" Pets
3: "Boss" Pet
4-Row : Set stance
4: Aggressive
5: Defensive
6: Passive
7-Row : Issue command
7: Attack my target
8: Follow Me
9: Goto
Other Keys: Summons and Upgrades
/ : Summon "minion" pet
* : Summon "Lieutenant" pet
- : Summon "Boss" pet
+ : Equip (First Upgrade)
Enter: Upgrade (Second Upgrade)
Setup
Download the attached zip; it contains files for all the power sets:
Beast Mastery
Demon Summoning
Mercenaries
Necromancy
Ninjas
Robotics
Thugs
Extract the zip to your City of Heroes directory; there should be a big stack of files in the folder `mastermind_binds`.
Load the base power set file
This step only has to be done once per character. Grab a slash command from README.md!
Open Source
All this is also available at https://github.com/pythe/mastermind_binds. I'd love to see about improving these further!
