badges @TheUnnamedOne's BadgeReporter Popmenu version 20250420a

[Jacke]

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.

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"

Expand  

 

 

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.

Expand  

 

 

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.

 

NOTE: This Popmenu now appears to be unsupported, with the last update in2023 Apr 27 for the release of i27p6.

@Janrith's Alphabetic Badge List Popmenu, currently maintained by @ROBOKiTTY
https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/7636-alphabetic-badge-list-popmenu/?tab=comments#comment-161922

 

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.

 

 

NOTE: @AboveTheChemist is a key maintainer of various City mods and always keeps them up to date soon after changes.
@AboveTheChemist's Badge List Popmenu (with other contributors, developed from @Janrith's Popmenu)
https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/24454-atcs-badge-list-popmenu/

 

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.

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?

Edited January 25, 2021 by ElectronMaiden
Thought of another question.

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.

My first picture is for the "by issue" menu. You can see that it lists madges by which issue they were added to teh game. The second picture shows the badge reporter expanded. I can drop the .mnu file, but I can't remember exactly where I got it and I don't want whomever made it to not have the credit that is due.

My first picture is for the "by issue" menu. You can see that it lists madges by which issue they were added to teh game. The second picture shows the badge reporter expanded. I can drop the .mnu file, but I can't remember exactly where I got it and I don't want whomever made it to not have the credit that is due.

Thanks for the screenshots.

 

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.

You are right... the Expanded version came with a smaller version that was named "classic" but the internal name was just "BadgeReporter"

Yep, that was it, all right. Your menu looks just like in your screen shots now. Thank you 😄

Just updated after I fixed my issue.

as I've tried to show in the screenie, it appears that a couple of the Lambda badges are cross-connected so that when you have the Well Stocked badge, it shows you have Lambda Looter and vice versa

Thanks for pointing that out.  I've spent the last 2 months doing up a new release of the BadgeReporter and that error is fixed in it.  Speaking of which....
