Better Battle Pet Tooltip  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.0.0
by: Phanx, Akkorian

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.
Adds your highest collected level and best collected quality to battle pet tooltips.
DE — Zeigt in den Kampfhaustier-Tooltips die höchste gefangene Stufe und Qualität.
ES — Mostrar el mayor nivel y calidad de las mascotas de combate capturadas en las descripciones.
FR — Afficher le plus haut niveau et qualité des mascottes de combat capturées dans les infobulles.
IT — Mostrare il più alto livello e qualità dei mascotti da combattimento catturati nelle descrizioni.
PT — Mostrar o mais alto nível e qualidade dos mascotes de batalha capturados nas dicas.
RU — Показать высокий уровень и качество, которое вы поймали, во всплывающих подсказках для боевых питомцев.

Features
It works with unit tooltips for wild battle pets, item tooltips for caged battle pets and items that teach battle pets, and minimap tracking tooltips.

The default "Collected (1/3)" text is changed to "Collected (Level 25)", to indicate the level of your collected pet, and both the text and the tooltip border are colored by the rarity of your collected pet.

Colorblind users will be shown the rarity name (eg. "Rare") at the end of the info line, and the text won't be colored.

For wild pets you have already fought, but forfeited out of the battle, the tooltip for that pet will show its quality. This can be helpful for pets that travel in groups, so you can easily see which ones you haven't checked for quality yet. Please note that this only works for unit tooltips (not minimap tracking tooltips) and only for that individual pet (not others of the same type). This information is not saved between login sessions or UI reloads.
Options
Type /bbpt to open the options panel, or browse to it in the game’s Interface Options window.
Feedback
Post a comment. If you are reporting a bug, please include directions I can follow to reproduce the bug, whether it still happens when all other addons are disabled, and the exact text of the related error message (if any) as shown in Bugger/BugSack/Swatter.

Please note that I consider this addon to be complete, and will probably not add any new features.
Language Support
Works in all locales. Translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский.

To add or update translations for any language, post a comment.
Credits & Colophon
Better Battle Pet Tooltip was inspired by PetCaught by Lifetapt.

The font in the screenshot is DejaWeb. Visible addons include Bagnon, PhanxTooltip, and my private minimap and border addons. Private means I will not upload them for you, so don't ask.

Very nice addon. Thank you!

However, I am getting the following error: Missing pet string for Heavy Murloc Egg

I am assuming since this pet is extremely rare this was overlooked. I just happened to go to BlizzCon 2009.

There are already addons that add that info to the tooltip; they should be compatible with BBPT. If the one you want to use isn't compatible, post a link and I'll look at it next week; I'm AFK for the weekend.

Great addon, I was wondering if there's a possibility to add the specific breed to the tooltips aswell?Or perhaps as an optional addon.. It doesn't matter much, but i'm amongst those annoying min-maxers when it comes to poké-, I mean, Battle pets.

Thanks. I'll add those shortly. Wish Blizzard would expose an API for associating items with the pets they teach so I didn't have to maintain a hardcoded map.

Missing pet string for species

Code:
[21:11:32] Missing pet string for species: Lodernde Rune
"Lodernde Rune" is Blazing Rune in English.
All pets from Raiding with Leashes seem to be missing. This message is posted several times as long as you mouseover the item.

I'm guessing one of those words translates closer to "collected" and the other closer to "captured" .. this nuance definitely exists in other languages, too, but for all the other localizations, either the same person translated all of the battle pet strings, or the translators were more coordinated.

Anyway, I'll add those updated translations to the next version.

deDE update below.
Code:
if LOCALE == "deDE" then
	L.AlreadyBattled = "Bereits bekämpft%s%s"
	L.NotCapturable = "Nicht einfangbar"
	--L.Parentheses = " (%s)"
	--L.PetString = "%s"
	--L.PetStringCount = "%s/%s %s"
	L.PetStringCountLevel = "%s/%s %s (Stufe %d)"
	L.PetStringLevel = "%s (Stufe %d)"
	L.ShowCount = "Zeige eingefangene Anzahl"
	L.ShowLevel = "Zeige höchste eingefangene Stufe"
	L.ShowWildQuality = "Zeige Qualität des wilden Haustiers, wenn möglich"
	L.ShowWildQuality_Tooltip = "Dies ist nur möglich, wenn du das Haustier bereits bekämpft und aufgegeben hast, und funktioniert nur für Einheiten-Tooltips, nicht für Minimap-Tooltips."

Ya I know that problem from MiniLoot Vladinator can tell you big storys of it :>
Maybe they were not well coordinated but also many words and and phrases that only have one meaning in other languages have many different meanings in different situations in german. What is the other word for "Gesammelt"?

Fügt den Kampfhaustier-Tooltips die höchste gefangene Stufe und Qualität hinzu.
I'll update the description, and that'll be in the TOC in the next release, thanks. Feel free to correct the options translations, too. I don't actually speak German beyond a few basic words, so my ability to write things in German that make sense is pretty limited, and heavily augmented by Google Translate.

*fixed:

But this sounds better and is closer to the english one:
Fügt den Kampfhaustier-Tooltips die höchste gefangene Stufe und Qualität hinzu.
