I was flying from Dalaran to Fizzcrank Airstrip in Borean Tundra. I was looking around at things to do in that three minutes, and saw that I hadn't done anything with setting up prefs for PetLeash. First, I noticed it in the slidebar, and tried to poke it there - but when the mouse came off the slidebar to choose something in the list, the slidebar went back and the panes with the choices went with it, effectively making it impossible to do anything there. (Not sure if that should be a complaint against teh slidebar or what...)

So then I opened the config by clicking on the icon in slidebar, and opened up the pane (I can't remember the name?) that includes the checkbox for 'Weighted Pets'. I clicked that checkbox, and WoW froze. After a minute or two, I came here and started typing. It has since unfrozen, reloaded the ui twice, and logged me out to the initial game launch screen, all without my touching it.

Yay, computers are fun! :/

ETA: I logged back in, and tried again, disabling one addon I had that I thought had been lagging me before. I used control-click on the slidebar icon, hit the + next to the PetLeash name, clicked on "Enabled Pets" and it froze again, right there. It did finally wake up again, and showed me the pane to weight the pets with. Not sure what's happening here, but if it does this persistently it's not a good thing.

Son of ETA: Clicking on the arrow of any of the dropdown boxes causes 1-2 seconds of freeze. Clicking on any of the choices causes 5-10 seconds of freeze. Note: I have over 500 pets, due to having 10 toons on the server and having gotten pets for all to have the same one, so I have LOTS of duplicates. I'm ONLY clicking on one of each. Also, clicking on either of the scrollbar arrows causes more than 1 page of scroll.

A suggestion for future releases: now that lots of people (read: me) have lots of pets and are catching new pets at a faster rate than before, would it be possible to alter the weighted scale so that the user can dictate what the default weight is? Currently you can only toggle it to "often" or "never" and even if you toggle it to "never," new pets still enter the petleash weighted scale as "often".

Personally, for example, i would prefer to be able to make most of my pets "hardly ever" on the weighted scale so that they all still come out, but the few that i choose come out most often. It would be optimal if i could change my default to "hardly ever" so that, A.) they would all change to that setting without me having to change all two hundred of them individually, manually by hand, and 2.) i don't have to fish through my huge list of pets to change it to that every time i catch a new one.

Anyways, just a thought.

Is it possible to make an option for the addon to dismiss any pet and disable it's self while in a bg, rbg or arena and reenable when outside of them ?

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know that the new Brewfest item, Keg Pony (different from the Pony Keg) gets despawned by PetLeash.

The Keg Pony is and isn't a companion. It isn't learned in the Combanion Spellbook, but does replace any existing companions when summoned. Because of this, PetLeash detects no companions and immediately summons an actual companion - despawning the Keg Pony which is on a 30 minute cooldown.

Is it possible to add this to the list of Special Item exceptions?

So how do u make the "Auto Switch when changing maps" not occur when ur mounted, 100m in the air?

This fix will unsummon upon casting Camouflage, and resummon upon leaving Camouflage.

Open PetLeash.lua

Find line:
local INVIS_SPELLS = {66, 11392, 3680}

Change to:
local INVIS_SPELLS = {66, 11392, 3680, 80326}

Save and restart WoW.

Cheers!

I've been having problems with the new hunter ability Camouflage. Camo is only a true stealth when you stand still, so when you start moving around, petleash will summon a pet and break it.

For anyone else having the same issue, I found a temporary solution. Replace the Camouflage spell on your toolbar with this macro:

#showtooltip
/cast Camouflage
/petleash desummon

Then use another macro to do

/petleash enable

along with one of your combat spells, or something else that would break camo anyway. I simply added it to my existing "hunter's mark and send pet" macro. A vanity pet will be summoned the next time you're idle.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I've said this before, but thanks for this great addon. Before I installed it, I used to hardly ever see my vanity pets because I'd forget to summon one. Now I get to see all the ones I like regularly.

yes that would be a great feature. espacialy as these items dont use up the internal cooldown.

something like this translated to lua (which i dont understand at all) would do the magic.

/target <petname>
/use Rope Pet Leash
/use washingitem
/use feedingitem
/targetlasttarget

Most of this addon (one of my favorites!) seems to work in 4.01, but I keep getting this error upon toon login:

It seems to be only affecting the LBD function, as I no longer get a Petleash button on TitanPanel.

Would it be possible to have something that brings up a pet from a list when a druid is in a specific animal form? i.e. I'd love to be able to bring up a bear pet when in bear form, a feline pet when in cat form, a flying pet when in bird form, etc. I know you can test for animal form in macros, so I'm assuming there's a way to do it in an add-on.

As ElvisDumbledore discovered, pet weighting doesn't work at all. After some digging around in the source code, I found the problem: the PickPet() function is testing self.db.weightedPets when it should be self.db.profile.weightedPets.

Even without weighting, this is a great addon. I almost never used to see my small pets because I didn't think to take them out -- now I get to see all my favorites regularly.
