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.

First, thanks for the great add-on, it works wonderfully. Next, would there be a way to add an option to summon a ground mount instead of a flying mount using the smart macros? Such as <click> runs regular, flight or ground witch ever is the default for the location, or <alt-click> summons a ground mount?

Of course if there is already an option for this and I'm just missing the obvious please feel free to point it out.

Thank you.
Hi Tarquin, there's no "built-in" option to modify the Smart Macro but you can adjust it on your own once it's created! Try this on for size:

/click [mod:alt] LivestockLandMountsButton; LivestockComboButton

An alt-click will force a land mount but any other click will get a Smart Mount out.

And one suggestion: Will be great if in Oculus when i press shortcut and i have any of the quest items to summon drake to summon them instead of ground mount.

Kind Regards
zirka, thanks for this suggestion. While those items are related to travel, I think I'm going to keep Livestock away from them. It wasn't easy to get the addon to manage spells (Travel Form, Flight Forms, Levitate, etc.) at times and mount macros (the main random mount summoning). Adding items into the mix for such a specific circumstance seems like it'd be more trouble than it's worth.

So you just screwed author's choice to not include his addon in wowmatrix database?

So now we are ADVERTISING Wow Matrix?? No offense but do you even have any idea that they make money off of other addon sites bandwidth and ads? Why on earth would you recommend that to people? There is a reason that Wowinterface doesn't allow matrix.dat in any uploaded files.

And how is it up to you to send an update when the author asked for it removed?? How rude of you!@

P.S. - After playing around with my "new & improved" Livestock, I do have a suggestion: If it's possible to do, would there be a way to code an option which allows for casting Travel form as a Druid while in an "outdoor" area, not in combat, & moving?

For instance if u only have to go a short distance, want to get there sooner than running, and you feel mounting would defy the point &/or just take too long! lol Just a thought. =]
And that's why "auto" updaters are a very, very poor choice. Unless you're running an updater tied to a specific site (such as the Curse Updater or the WoWInterface), you're almost guaranteed to have out of date versions at times. Also, it's good to know that WoWMatrix never complied with my request of two months ago to have Livestock removed from their database. Thank you for this information.

As far as your other idea, there aren't any options available to the macro system to detect movement, and Livestock uses the macro system code to figure out what you're up to when you try to mount. So, this wouldn't be possible. If you're using macros to activate smart mounting, you can adjust the macro yourself to allow for an override with a modifier key, if you like.

Hi User4574, thanks for your comment. I don't use the macros myself (I'm a keybinder!) but when I tested the smart (combo) macro with my druid, it worked in Dalaran. (Flying Form at Krasus's Landing, Flying Form in the Exit Pipe, and land mount everywhere else.) I can't pinpoint exactly what you're seeing on your end though.

If you're using the latest version, have deleted the existing macro and made a new one and are still having issues with the macro, could you please fill out a bug report? Helpful information to include would be your class/level, the actual text of the macro you're using, and what happens when you click the macro in various places such as Dalaran's streets, the sewer pipe, etc. That way I can make sure to address the issue. Thank you!

Hi Somaru, use the Macro Generator to make a Smart Mounting macro (or any other kind, really) and then squeeze the following line in at the top:
Code:
/stopmacro [mounted]
If you're mounted when you hit the macro, it will do nothing.

I wasn't sure if you were suggesting that is an improvement I implement, because I didn't see a corresponding feature request submitted through WoWInterface. However, I have no plans to change the behavior of the macro generator at the moment, because people who want to adjust the macros can easily do so after they are generated. Thanks for the suggestion though!
You're right, I didn't mean that as plugin change request.
Just an idea for usability. For those who may be seeking something likewise.
