Livestock  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.4.1
by: Kharthus [More]

Livestock: For all your companion needs

Now that your pets and mounts don't take up space in your bags, Livestock lets you manage them intelligently. This addon sorts your companions into land mounts, flying mounts, and vanity pets. Then, with the push of a button, you can randomly summon any of the three, or designate a favorite pet to have out on command.

You can also have Livestock always keep a pet by your side, and have it dismiss your vanity pet when you are in PVP battle and it would give away your position.

You can even tell Livestock to put you on a random land or flying mount depending on whether the area you're in lets you fly or not. Underwater or in combat, Livestock can also be configured to cast certain spells relating to travel, such as Path of Frost or Ghost Wolf.

New to version 1.2 and above, you can designate certain pets or mounts to be called in certain zones or subzones. Ride in style on a Frostwolf Howler while in Alterac Valley, and then switch to your favorite color of Mechanostrider while in Ironforge. Livestock will let you make sure that you have your good luck pet out whenever you're in Ulduar or Trial of the Crusader.
You can summon critters, land mounts, and flying mounts in various ways. See the ReadMe file for more information.
Localization Help:
Livestock currently only works for the enUS, deDE, eES, ruRU, and frFR clients. (The client is only localized completely for the enUS client, and assistance in localizing is always appreciated!) If you are on another client, Livestock will load but will show all English strings. If you are willing to help localize the addon for your language, please let me know - you'd only need to provide some simple translations and I'd do the rest. You can reach me through the Private Message system available here.
Slash Commands:
There are currently eight slash commands for the addon. View the ReadMe file for a more in-depth explanation. /livestock and /ls both work for commands.
  • Use "/livestock" to bring up the main menu bar.
  • Use "/livestock reset" to move the four Livestock Buttons back to their default positions.
  • Use "/livestock scale <scale>" to change the size of the Livestock Buttons.
  • Use "/livestock prefs" as a shortcut to access the preferences, described in the ReadMe.
  • Use "/livestock redo" to force Livestock to reset to default. Useful for squashing buggy behavior at the cost of having to reset your settings.
  • Use "/livestock [zone/subzone/party]" to designate a pet or mount for your current zone, subzone or party. For more information, check the ReadMe.
  • Use "/livestock [mount/nomount/pet/nopet]" to add/remove pets and mounts from the random summon list. Uses your active summon.
  • Use "/livestock debug" - Prints out useful debugging information that can assist the developers in solving problems. Use the command again to turn off the debugging output.


Livestock Options and Preferences:
You can find the options for Livestock in the Addons tab of the Blizzard Interface options menu. The "Livestock" tab has the major options, while options for pets, Smart Mounting, and zone/subzone preferences are in sub-menus. You can read more about the preferences in the ReadMe file.
Bug Reports and Feature Requests
If you find unexpected behavior in Livestock, especially in locales other than enUS, please check the FAQ first to see if it has been addressed and if there is a possible fix.
Please report any bugs you find with Livestock -- or feature requests you'd like to see -- using the "Report Bugs" or "Feature Request" button underneath the Download button, up and to the right. I appreciate your feedback and support.
If you are reporting a bug, the following information is helpful: Any error messages that you saw, where you were (if you can give coordinates, that's excellent), what you were trying to do, what your menus looked like, and what class you play.
Thanks!
Well-deserved credit goes to the following people:
  • Khanthal (Uldum), for the original idea and being our MT so often!
  • A BIG thank you to Sbo (UI and Macros forum, Live) who helped me figure out what was the issue with Dalaran and Wintergrasp as well as suggesting the way to get around it.
  • Grimgear (UI and Macros forum, Live) for helping troubleshoot a bug, pointing me to keybindings, and suggesting rotation speed. Also for pointing out how best to adjust my GUI to compensate for localization.
  • Lunessa (UI and Macros forum, Live) for pointing me to Blizzard's instructions on creating panels in the Interface menu.
  • Xelron (UI and Macros forum, Live) for helping construct debug messages to get more information and indirectly convincing me to make my own dropdowns.
  • Ro (UI and Macros forum, Beta) for the 3D model viewer idea. Ro also originally suggested making my own custom dropdowns, which I thought was beyond me!
  • Elloria and Tgulics (WoWInterface) for helping spread the word and test the addon in its early stages and for suggesting highlighting the buttons when they're clicked.
  • The MVPs (UI and Macros forum) for providing the resources needed to accomplish this one as well as stepping in and answering my questions from time to time. Special thanks to Alestane and Iriel for helping me with secure handlers.
  • kdkunde (WoWInterface) for helping translate this mod into German so far!
  • Vastilia (WoWInterface) and Yorgl (Curse) for helping translate into French!
  • madbit (WoWInterface) for the Spanish translation.
  • simply (Curse) for the Russian localization.
  • Certainly not least, Brenkite (Uldum) for being my personal troubleshooter and moral support.

It won't let you mount while swimming anywhere?

What class are you?
Where (what zone/subzone) are you trying to mount?
What happens when you press the smart mount button?

Yes.
Paladin (So no questionable abilities, like my main's Levitate).
Stormwind canals.
Specially displayed aux button and clicked it to avoid possible interference from my macro. Nicht, nada. Zero effect.

Huh... weird... the code detects swimming, and the comments even claim things like druids should auto-use aquatic form, etc... but it doesn't look like it was actually written to do anything when in state "6" (which Livestock uses for "swimming").

Bizarre.

It's easy to hack it to handle state "6", and just cast a land mount, but I'm too lazy to make it do all the druid logic stuff.

Find the "Livestock.SmartPreClick()" function - should be around line 1085, and add a line:
Code:
self.mounttype = "LAND"
right after the local declaration.

Pretty crappy hack, but it should work for what you want

I'd like to see auto-call/dismiss when stealthing to have more options:
"Do not auto-call companions while in a PvP area" and "Only dismiss when stealthing in a PvP area"

There is already an option for dismissing while stealthing and PvP flagged - perhaps I'm misunderstanding you?

Dang, I rewrote the comment and forget to mention PvP servers, and it still sounds weird (it's early here, plus lack of sleep after getting a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday)

The thing is, on a PvP server, you're almost always flagged, except in cities and instances (and even then the flag only fades after 5min) so I'd like Livestock to only auto-dismiss companions when you stealth/turn invisible in PvP areas, not generally when flagged for PvP.

If you ask me, this is overcomplication.

So I have this bug where it chooses the Epic Purple Draeni Mount when I click the Flying mount button.

Any idea as to why? The mount is not chosen to be used in options, and why would it be used when I click the flying mount, that mount is not even in the flying mount section.

Thanx

Does the issue persist after doing a /livestock redo ?

Random vanity pet timer summon

I used to use Nugminipet mod for handling my mini pet summons.

It would randomly pick from a list of pets i had, and it gave one option that I see missing from Livestock.

I could set a time limit, that would resummon a new mini pet. That way, if I had it set to 5 minutes, it would auto summon a new pet for me, replacing the old one, any time I hit my "forward" key.

Never had to worry about hitting a button, clicking an icon, or any macros. Would love to see something like that added to this mod.

An interesting idea, Gadzooks - I'll consider this for another version!

Emerald Raptor bug?

Livestock keeps summoning the Emerald Raptor (a non-epic land mount) with the epic land mounts. I have the appropriate box unchecked, and the Emerald Raptor is deselected in the list.

Note that the Emerald Raptor also shows up in the flying mounts list.

Next time you're logged into the game, try this:

Run this code first by pasting it into the chat box:

Code:
/run for i=1,GetNumCompanions("MOUNT") do if select(2,GetCompanionInfo("MOUNT",i))=="Emerald Raptor" then print(i) end end
You should see a number pop up on your screen. Next, use this code:

Code:
/run LivestockSettings.Mounts["Emerald Raptor"]={["speed"] = "slow", ["type"] = "land", ["show"] = 0, index = X,}
but replace the X with the number you got in the first step.

Last, use a /reload to reload your UI.

Let me know if that fixes the issue!
