FuBar - Critter InFu

Version: v2.1.1
by: Kayde [More]

Introduction
This is a port to FuBar of my "Doppelganger Critter Info" addon.

This addon was created to replace the PetXPBar addons that I have used in the past, most of them were full of bugs and broke with every patch. I have (hopefully) created a solidified Pet XP Bar that will withstand the test of time!


Features
FOR HUNTERS (See pictures for details):

  • 1) Adds your pets Name, Level, and XP percentage to the FuBar header. These can be toggled on and off via the right click menu. [picture #1]

    2) When mousing over the title, a tooltip pops up with TONS of info about your pet including: Experience, Basic Information, Attributes, Combat Info, Pet Skills, and your "Herd" (your current and stabled pets). [picture #2]

    3) LEFT clicking the title will open your beast training window for easy access to updating your pets skills (saves at least one valuable hotbar spot).

    4) RIGHT clicking the title will display a drop down menu with submenu options for all the controls of the tooltip and header displays. You can control how much information you desire to see. The addon is built in such a way that if you don't want something to be shown, toggling it off will save the resources that would normally go toward the calculations for those categories. [picture #3]

    5) If toggled on via the "Other Options" menu (and if you use the Cartographer addon (why aren't you?)), you can auto-save note locations for every stable master that you visit. There is no default listing at this time (possibly available in a later release). This information is shared across your whole account, so if you have two hunters (like an alliance and horde hunter), both will benefit from the listing. [picture #4]
FOR WARLOCKS (See pictures for details):
  • 1) Adds your minions Name and it's Creature Type to the FuBar title. This can be toggled on or off via the right click menu. [some in picture #1]

    2) When mousing over the title, a tooltip pops up with TONS of info about your pet including: Attributes, Combat Info, and your Pet's Skills (if you have the Demonic Knowledge talent). [some in picture #2]

    3) LEFT clicking the title will open your pet's spell book. I couldn't think of anything else that could be tied in logically to a left click (and was allowed by the Blizzard API).

    4) RIGHT clicking the title will display a drop down menu with submenu options for all the controls of the tooltip and header displays. You can control how much information you desire to see. The addon is built in such a way that if you don't want something to be shown, toggling it off will save the resources that would normally go toward the calculations for those categories. [picture #3]


Commands
"/cif" or "/critterinfu"
No options but the basics here. The plugin works automatically.

Future Changes
None at this time, but I'm always looking for ways to improve.


Credits
Wow! Where to begin! First my older history:
I have installed and deleted so many of these pet info addons over my time of playing, that I have lost many names of people that should be rightfully thanked. However, most of the code was drawn from Mark Murray's "PetXPBar". His organization drew me to his addon above all the others.
I also based this entire plugin on the work done by Corgi and his FuBar - PetInfo. Thanks for porting over Hemco's Titan plugin Corgi!
But when I sought to port this to Ace2.0 and Fubar2.0, I looked to the other pet info addons out there and put my own spin on their works. For this I owe a TON of thanks to the following authors:
Jayhawk [Fubar_PetInfoFu]: I used his addons LUA to restructure my entire addon from. Essentially, he laid all the groundwork!
Ricowan [Fubar_PetFu]: I ported several of his features to my addon.
Kemayo [Fubar_PetInFu]: I ported several of his features to my addon as well.
These gentlemen are due the real credit here, all I've done is combine what I feel are the best parts of each of their addons into a single addon that gives me a more organized feel and is written in the most efficient way possible (yes I cleaned up some of the redundant code they used).


Changes
v2.1.1 - UPDATE (May 28, 2007)
I had uploaded a new version without the libraries/externals. Fixed! thank you Henchen and lauramarie for the bug report!
v2.1 - UPDATE (May 26, 2007)
Code cleanup mostly. Minor buggy items fixed.
v2.0 - UPDATE (May 15, 2007)
So many updates that I will not list them all here! I have NOT tested this with the upcoming 2.1 patch, but I will update it again if for some odd reason it breaks.
v1.1 - UPDATE (July 10,2006)
Updated the Defense rating to reflect the proper number. Prior to this, I had stapled in an "888" to judge the size of the text. <BLUSH>
v1.0 - RELEASE (July 7,2006)
Offical first Stable release. No issues found in my own testing.

I just realized that I never finished the Defense rating information (currently it displays "888" for everyone, lol)! Sorry about that, and I will have a fix put in place ASAP!

Update coming soon.

I will nto be updating this to Fubar 2.0 just yet, as i have certain features I've been working on forthe current version.

New features will include:
1) Resistance tracking. I will add all resistances to the tooltip - something I've overlooked foolishly. Some re-arranging of the tooltip layout was required to make it visualy appealing.

2) Additional Warlock support. I will be adding some auto-functions when left clicking the title like auto-resummon last known demon, dismiss demon, and sacrifice demon. I'm debating on expanding the right click menu as well to sort-of assimilate further what SummonFu was doing. I like the functionality of SummonFu. Resistance if futile (except for the above feature, lol)!

3) Chatty chat commands! (May not be out with my next patch - but coming soon) I used Necrosis for my warlock for a short time, but I did not use most of the functions due to ShardAce and my little number here filling the same gaps quite nicely. Two things I love about Necrosis is the timers (looking into AceTimers now as a viable alternative) and the querky little sayings that pop up when you summon your pet or cast a specific spell. This second feature will be added to CritterInFu, with options to turn it off or customize your own randomly played message(s)!

Sorry for additional delay on updating this. I am playing the hell outta my Warlock now to gain better understanding as to what will benefit this mod the most.

More to come after a few more levels and talent points!

Arrow Fu 2

It would be nice to have a FuBar 2 update for this soon... this is my last FuBar 1.2 addon and once this has been updated I can finally get rid of the compatiability package.

I know you are busy but... hurry up! :P

Sorry for the delay. I wont get to it anytime in October unforunately.

I am getting married on the 14th, and am currently scrambling to fiinish the last minute wedding plans, the it's off to the honeymoon for a week or more (unsure yet how long we will take).

It is on my planned list, but not until we return and I can get settled back into making some money to pay this wedding off.

WoW had taken over all my time and I failed to get this updated since playing a Druid to 70 post TBC, and I ended up letting my Hunter weapons rust at the blacksmith...

But fear not! I have an update planned in the next two days. Basically a combination of all the Fubar pet mods out there, combined to become what I hope to be the ultimate pet companion - for BOTH Hunters and Warlocks.

My lock is now lvl 48, so I have many more features that I can test with him (save felguard functions).
