The Inspiration Maker's Guide

 

Search for #1 to go straight to binds and macros, #2 to go to movement versions of the binds, #3 to go to straight to multi-command POPMENUS, and #4 to go straight to consolidated POPMENUS

 

I made a short guide soon after the i12 launch for kheldians about using the then new inspiration changing system to help with status effect issues of the AT. It included macros and binds to turn available inspirations into break free's. Some people rather less short-sighted than I mentioned that the guide had potential for all the AT's, not just kheldians; so I decided to make a more comprehensive and (hopefully) helpful guide for anyone who finds he or she has a unique inspiration need for any character. If you have a tanker, for instance, that you find has no need of break free's or catch a breath's (purple and blue "pills"), but only really ever needs accuracy or damage inspirations, then this will give you the ability to turn those useless inspirations into something useful for you on the fly. (Mid-battle if I need a certain inspiration, I find it takes too long to right-click the excess inspirations, go down the list to what I need and maybe even accidentally clicking on the wrong thing).

 

Here, then, is a list of macros and binds to help you with your unique inspiration needs. They are divided into sections based on type, each getting three macros (for small, medium and large versions of the inspiration) and a bind you can use to execute the inspirations after you have made them.

 

Notes: If you are not used to making macros or binds, the following might make your head spin a little. Don't worry; all you have to do is

1 find the one you want based on the sections,

2 highlight the parts from /macro to the second " you see after it,

3 hit [Control+C] on your keyboard,

4 go into the game and click on your chat bar,

5 hit [Control+V] and hit enter.

A nifty little grey button will appear in your power tray which you can now click to make your inspirations.

 

    --The binds will work from smallest to largest, so each time you use the bind the smallest version available of the inspiration will be executed until there are none left, at which point it will start to execute the next size inspiration (one execution per use of a bind; so if I wanted to use my bind for two damage inspirations, I would have to hit the bind twice).

 

    The macro commands work once per click per inspiration type, but on all different inspiration types available. (I can convert a group of small reds, a group of small yellows, a group of small blues into break free's all at once, but not two groups of small reds into two break free's with the same use of the macro; it must be used twice for that)

 

    For the added movement binds or POPMENU commands, scroll past these. I recommend using the movement binds as the most efficient method of combining.

 

    All my binds here are bound to the letter "u" (as in "use"), but they can be bound to different keys, such as the ESC key, especially appropriate for the use of break free's (thanks to _Granny_ for that )

    Example: /bind ESC "inspexecname escape$$inspexecname emerge$$inspexecname break_free"

 

    Unfortunately, consolidated commands are too long, so I cannot combine the three sizes of macros into one macro.

 

    A macro, according to my testing, will not both change inspirations into another type and execute that inspiration at the same time.

 

    Sometimes there isn't enough room for all the inspiration names given the macro limits; so the ones that do not fit at the end are set off with brackets so you can swap them for others at your discretion. (The POPMENU version of these commands at the bottom is apparently not bound by this constraint, so they can fit in all inspiration types)

 

    I have not included macros for making "wakies" because if you are defeated, using the normal inspiration changing method is fine, and hopefully you do not need to make several awakens all the time on the fly.

 

    For the very longest macro commands, replacing (for example) [inspcombine escape phenomenal_luck] with [inspcombine restoration phenomenal_luck] may not work because the length of the word "restoration" (as opposed to the shorter "escape") makes the command go over the macro limits.

 

    For those of you who will be replacing some command names, I highly recommend copying the command to a word processor to make the changes and then copy from there to the game, as it can be difficult to edit these things in-game.

 

 

 

OK, here we go.

Update: Movement binds

The following is possibly the most efficient way to make inspirations as you go, because it uses the movement keys to do the combining while you move. Credit is due to Stratos for this brilliant idea I swapped Stratos's binds around, made them for all inspiration types, and made mousechord (clicking with both left and right mouse buttons) the way to use your inspiration. Also, you can add "powexecname hasten" to every command for going forward, which is a frequently used tactic for freeing up your autoexec command (of which you can only use one). (If you don't have hasten, don't worry about it; I took it out of the commands because I got tired of seeing "recharging" above my character's head every time I pressed or released w). With these, other than just moving normally, no extra button pushing or clicking is involved other than using mousechord to execute an inspiration.

 

Make bindfiles for the following sets of commands and put them in your bind folder. Copy/paste the commands instead of retyping them to avoid errors.

These should all work, but feel free to test them and give me feedback.

 

I hope you all get good use out of that; it took me a while to put together.

Had to split the popmenu part into a second post... so

 

Update: POPMENU

A POPMENU version of these binds appears, at least at the moment, to not be bound by the constraints of the binds; this means we can fit every inspiration type into our command without running out of room. For more information on how the POPMENU works, go here and here. {Links currently broken}

After you understand how they work, make a POPMENU for each inspiration type, so you can load whatever you need for any given character by making a macro [/macro Def "popmenu defense"] or a bind [/bind mousechord "popmenu defense"]. There are two kinds of menus listed below, the first has each tier inspiration split up, and the second has all three tiers consolidated into one command. This has not been thoroughly tested, but results so far say that this will work. Obviously only pick one of the two options for your menus. Name each .mnu file the simple name put above the menus copied below for simplicity. In case you didn't pay attention in those other threads, you have to make sure your .mnu file is not saving as a .txt file, and they have to go in this file location even if you have to make these folders:

City of Heroes > data > texts > English > Menus

 

copy the part beginning with // up to the } and paste it into your .mnu file, which you are naming appropriately, right?

These need more testing, especially to check that they really aren't bound by the length constraint that binds are, but the ones I have tested so far work perfectly. They are, however, very temperamental, and you may need to reload the game several times before it actually picks them up.

It's worth noting that, on Homecoming, you can refuse certain insp. drops at the Pay 2 Win vendors if you like, doing this reduces your over all number of inspirations received, but it can be a very valuable thing if you plan to combine inspirations to one or two types you need.

 

For example, my spines/fire brute really only ever needs reds and purples. I could deny everything but those, instead though I deny Break Frees and Awakens (and their subsequent tiers), and convert the remaining types in to reds or purples as needed. This allows me to almost always be sure I have enough insp. to combine, and have more streamlined commands to do said combinations (once I get my lazy arse around to remaking commands to do it).

Yes remember that denying a type of inspiration doesn't mean you get something else instead, when the RNG decides you should get an awaken and you denied it you get nothing. Still useful to help limit the combining options, awakens drop less often in my experience so you rarely have 3 handy to combine.

You can also limit your drops to medium and large inspirations, again helping to get more of the same. After a certain level you get enough mediums and large you don't need the smalls.

I just saw this thread in your .sig, so I thought I'd check it out.  Good stuff, but what I found was I usually only want/need one type of inspiration in bulk and thus would convert.  Nine times out of ten, I need reds.  I keep a small number of other "potentials" (e.g. break-free's on non-mez protected toons, a purple or two on all, never any yellows or greens; I turn off rez and oranges).

 

I keep rez's in my e-mail (about 20 or so), so I have them at any time across all my characters.

 

That all said, I use a BIND chain to convert everything to REDS.  I disable Tier 1 completely, but include it here for those who may (for whatever reason) still want/use Tier 1.  I've posted this before around the forums, and it's become second nature for my right-hand/mouse-hand to extend the thumb to the NUMPAD 0 (big key).  Change it up, obviously, for your needs:

*** One-Key Combining Inspirations into REDS ***

• T1, T2, T3 - all w/ NO rez or breakfrees, turned off @P2W.
• Make three (3) text files in <CoH Directory>\data (ex: E:\Games\CoH\data) called SRed.txt, MRed.txt, and LRed.txt - each containing the single keybind  (Numpad 0, if you want another key, change it in the files) below:

SRed.txt
NUMPAD0, "inspcombine Catch_a_Breath Enrage$$inspcombine Insight Enrage$$inspcombine Luck Enrage$$inspcombine Respite Enrage$$inspcomine Sturdy Enrage$$bind_load_file MRed.txt"

 

MRed.txt
NUMPAD0, "inspcombine Take_A_Breather Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Keen_Insight Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Good_Luck Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Dramatic_Improvement Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Rugged Focused_rage$$bind_load_file LRed.txt"

 

LRed.txt
NUMPAD0, "inspcombine Second_Wind Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Uncanny_Insight Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Phenomenal_Luck Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Resurgence Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Robust Righteous_Rage$$bind_load_file SRed.txt"

 

*** If you turned off T1 (small inspirations), then use these two (2) text files:

MRed.txt
NUMPAD0, "inspcombine Take_A_Breather Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Keen_Insight Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Good_Luck Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Dramatic_Improvement Focused_Rage$$inspcombine Rugged Focused_rage$$bind_load_file LRed.txt"

 

LRed.txt
NUMPAD0, "inspcombine Second_Wind Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Uncanny_Insight Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Phenomenal_Luck Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Resurgence Righteous_Rage$$inspcombine Robust Righteous_Rage$$bind_load_file MRed.txt"

 

Now, in your keybinds.txt file (default game directory, not the in the .\data directory) add this to your file:

• NUMPAD0, "bind_load_file MRed.txt"  or in-game type in "/bind NUMPAD0 "bind_load_file MRed.txt"

This is just a kick-off.  Now, in game, when you SPAM the 0 key on the numberpad, it will convert ALL tier 2's (that you have 3 of) into Reds.  Press it again and it will convert ALL tier 3's (that you have 3 of) into Reds.  Nice.  Spam Numpad0 and you're golden.  Gotta have at least 3 to combine.
Edit as desired, if someone wants something OTHER than reds, let me know and I can whip up a custom one.
