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 hchste gefangene Stufe und Qualitt.
ES Mostrar el mayor nivel y calidad de las mascotas de combate capturadas en las descripciones.
FR Afficher le plus haut niveau et qualit des mascottes de combat captures dans les infobulles.
IT Mostrare il pi alto livello e qualit dei mascotti da combattimento catturati nelle descrizioni.
PT Mostrar o mais alto nvel 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 games 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, Espaol, Franais, Italiano, Portugus, 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.

Please read the addon description under the large orange heading that says "Feedback" and report back with the information requested there for bug reports. Vague "it doesn't work" comments don't actually give me anything I can use to find or fix the problem.

@Tr909Tom:
I've deleted your post, since I don't want to have to scroll through 500 lines of local variables (for future reference, please don't include those with the actual error message), but based on the error message the only thing I can think of is that one of your other addons is breaking basic GameTooltip functions, or reassigning the global name "GameTooltip" to a custom object that does not provide the same methods as the real GameTooltip.

Please try to reproduce the error with only BetterBattlePetTooltip enabled. If it doesn't happen, then you'll need to figure out which addon is breaking the GameTooltip. Either way, report back with the rest of the information requested in the addon description under the "Feedback" heading. If it's an addon conflict, let me know which addon is causing the conflict, and I'll see if there's anything I can do to support it.

Okay, but the fact remains that one of your other addons is breaking basic, default GameTooltip methods provided by Blizzard. If you don't want to figure out which one it is, you're likely to encounter the same error with other addons that want to read from and/or write to the GameTooltip in the future.

I'd be happy to look into the issue and talk to the other addon's author about ways they could improve their addon's compatibility with GameTooltip-using addons, but without more information from you, the only thing I could do would make BetterBattlePetTooltip disable itself if the GameTooltip is broken, which would not really help anyone.

I don't ask for all that information because I think it's funny to make you spend 2 minutes disabling addons. I ask for it because without it, there is often no way for me to identify the cause of the problem, let alone fix it. I don't even know what addons you have installed, let alone how you have them configured, etc. all of which are critical pieces of information in a situation like this where the problem is being caused by a conflict between addons. I have no idea why you find a simple request for more information (and a simple explanation of what information doesn't need to be posted) so offensive.

There'll be an update shortly. Battle pets no longer despawn when you forfeit, so I'm adding a system to keep track of specific pets you've already battled so you don't try to battle them again... I'm pretty sure I battled the same two Bandicoon Kits a good half-dozen times before I realized that they weren't just respawning with incredible speed.

Error when mousing over Ti'Un the Wanderer (and others)

I get the following error when mousing over some of the new "Beast of Fable" battle pets. I'm not sure if I have noticed it with other pet battles but I know for a fact I get it with them. A specific example is Ti'Un the Wanderer in Townlong Steppes.

Error message:

Yes, I have the latest and greatest Ace library

There is already an open bug ticket about that issue.

Also, this addon does not use any Ace libraries. You're only seeing AceHook mentioned in the debug stack because you have some other addon running that uses AceHook to modify the tooltips, and hooks are like a set of Russian nesting dolls -- each new hook is hooking not only the original function, but all previously applied hooks.

Version 5.2.0.31
  • Mostly rewritten
  • Added support for chat link tooltips and spell tooltips (eg. in the trainer UI)
  • Fixed species detection for minimap tracking tooltips with color codes (eg. underground pets shown in gray)

Due to all of the rewriting, I don't really know what was causing the error when mousing over elite pets in the previous versions, but I've been unable to reproduce it with this version. If you encounter any similar problems with this version, please let me know.

Also, I don't actually speak French, so the existing French translations are based on Google Translate, with adjustments based on the similarity to Spanish, which I do (sort of) speak. So, if any of the other French translations aren't quite right, please do give corrections.
