Jacke Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Ever since I discovered the @TheUnnamedOne's BadgeReporter popmenu, I've found it an amazing tool for seeing what Badges you have on a toon. Pop it up and Badges unlocked on the current toon are in aqua text, Badges still locked are in grey text. Original Authors @TheUnnamedOne and @MultipleGirl pre-Shutdown Several Previous Maintainers and Contributors Current Maintainer for Homecoming @Jacke Version 20221004a release for Homecoming i27p4, to Halloween 2022 patch Download the Popmenu file here.

Jacke Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) INSTALLATION Quote Place the popmenu file in this location in your City install, creating the folders if they don't exist. Use only one Badge Reporter file in your install. After replacing the file, restart your City client program to load the new popmenu. <City install root>/data/texts/English/Menus/ Finding Your City Install Root on Windows for HC Launcher, Tequila, Island Rum Replace "English" with the language of your install (see the Wiki page for details). https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Popmenu_(Slash_Command) On your current logged in toon, invoke the Popmenu to see it and its Badge Report for that toon. Best invoked by keypress, allowing placement of the mouse pointer to the upper left to allow the submenus to cascade to the right and down. Bind it to a key, example 'N': /bind N "popmenu BadgeReporter" Or create a macro and put it in your trays: /macro BR "popmenu BadgeReporter" USAGE Quote Hover your mouse in the upper left of your screen, then press the key to trigger the bind or macro. You'll then see the main menu with each entry cascading to a submenu or a list of Badges. If the Badge name is greyed out, the toon doesn't have it yet. If it's bright aqua like the menu entries, the toon has the Badge. Additional information included for some Badges such as Mission Level Ranges and how to obtain the Defeat Badges. Most Accolade Badges each have guidance for which Badges are needed to unlock them. For the many Accolade Powers, each has a submenu listing the Badges needed and that show whether or not those requisite Badges are unlocked. I adapted this feature from a similar one in HC user @AboveTheChemist's Badge List popmenu. Achievement Badges Special Adjustment There are 23 Achievement Badges with Categories similar to ones under Accomplishments. As well, there are 7 Achievement Badges with Categories similar to ones under Defeats. They have been placed respectively in the Accomplishment and Defeats menus to group them with similar Badges. Look for the note "(Achieve. ...)" appended to the Badge name to identify them. BadgeReporter History BadgeReporter up to the initial version 20201211a for Homecoming was developed independently going back to its original authorship by @TheUnnamedOne and @MultipleGirl pre-Shutdown. I do not know the full details besides it passing through at least two maintainers with contributors before its maintenance came to me. Those previous maintainers and contributors known to me wish to remain anonymous. Other Homecoming Badge Popmenus There are other Badge Popmenus developed and released for Homecoming. Please check their linked topics for more details and their current versions. @Janrith's Alphabetic Badge List Popmenu, currently maintained by @ROBOKiTTYhttps://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/7636-alphabetic-badge-list-popmenu/?tab=comments#comment-161922 @AboveTheChemist's Badge List Popmenu (with other contributors, developed from @Janrith's Popmenu)https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/24454-atcs-badge-list-popmenu/ The Alphabetic Badge List was developed independently by @Janrith and others in the Homecoming community from information referenced in its topic. It is currently maintained by @ROBOKiTTY. The Badge List Popmenu was developed by @AboveTheChemist building on the work of @Janrith, @ROBOKiTTY, @Wingman, and others as an offshoot of the Alphabetic Badge List.

ElectronMaiden Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I downloaded the Version 20201211a menu and it seems to be fine, except that under the "by issue" menu does not have anything beyond issue 23. Is this an oversight? I am also still using the old Badge Reporter Expanded, which includes descriptions on how to achieve each badge. Is this something that may be added in the future?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "by issue" menu. Can you provide a screenshot? The in-game screenshot won't work as when you press the key for it, the popmenu will disappear before the screenshot is made. Normally the operating system will save a screenshot on the clipboard when you press the PRTSC key on your keyboard. You can then paste that screenshot into a program like Irfanview and save it and add it to a reply here in the forums. I'm not familiar with the Badge Reporter Expanded. Can you attach a copy of the .mnu file for it to a reply here? The next version will have features that guide getting the Accolades, which often require getting many other badges.

I don't think either of those is the @TheUnnamedOne's BadgeReporter Popmenu nor my version 20201211a. They may have been developed from an earlier version of BadgeReporter before mine, or they may have been developed completely independently. Compare them to the screenshots of 20201211a in the initial post and you'll see that the menu structure is completely different. For your first screenshot, what I think is happening is in the folder for Popmenu files: <City install root>/data/texts/English/Menus/ there are at least 2 files with the same internal menu name, these lines near the top of the file, with the very first open brace '{': // Menu "badgereporter" { With 2 or more files with the same internal name, it's a toss-up which one the City client uses. It appears to be picking the one that's not 20201211a. You'll have to look at the files to figure them out, see if they have any comments saying who wrote them. The first one appears to have been put together sometime after Issue 23 was released. Edited October 4, 2022 by Jacke Remember Let's be careful out there!
