Pops up the quickchat menu.
Customizing the QuickChat Menu
Custom Quickchat Menus can be created by placing a properly formatted text file named quickchat.mnu in the following directory and then restarting COH after completely exiting to the desktop:
<COH_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>\data\texts\<LANGUAGE>\Menus\
<LANGUAGE> may be one of the following and needs to match the language of the version of City of Heroes that is installed:
- ChineseTraditional
- English
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Korean
- uk
Syntax
MNU files can be created and edited in any text editor. QuickChat Menus have the following general structure:
// Opening comment line for the QuickChat Menu
Menu QuickChat
{
Title TitleName
Option OptionName Command
Divider
Title TitleName
Option OptionName Command
Menu SubMenuName
{
Title SubMenuTitleName
Option OptionName Command
Divider
Option OptionName Command
}
}
- Menu defines a group of Options. Menus can be nested, but each sub-menu requires its own pair of curly braces.
- To create a submenu name of more than one word with spaces between them, enclose it in quotes.
- Option is a selectable command within a menu.
- One letter in OptionName can be designated as a hotkey by prefixing an ampersand (&).
- To create an option name of more than one word with spaces between them, enclose it in quotes.
- Command is one or more slash commands (separated by $$).
- Title is an optional element.
- TitleName labels a menu, or a section of a menu. Titles are not selectable.
- Menus can have more than one Title.
- Divider places a horizontal line in the menu.
Notes
- MNU files allow comments. Use a double forward slash (//) anywhere on a line to force the client to ignore anything between the double slash and the line return.
- IMPORTANT: MNU files must have at least one line containing a carriage-return at the end of the line above the first "Menu" entry. It can be blank, a full comment, or just the comment tag (//) or any number of those lines otherwise it will not function.
- Changes to custom menus require you to exit the client in order for the changes to take effect.
- Custom menus are accessible by all characters on the same machine. By extension, you can send custom menu files to other people so that they can use them as well.
- Option and its parameters must be on one line. Otherwise, the menu will not function.
- Inspiration and power names with spaces can be used in commands by replacing the spaces with an underscore (for example, Catch_a_Breath). You can also enclose the entire Command portion in quotation marks.
- Multiple Commands can be executed by one Option by joining them with $$, just as they would be on the client command line.
