Pet Battle Music

Version: 1.7.1

by: Choonstertwo [More]

Description
This AddOn simply plays custom music (like Pokemon music) during pet battles. To add tracks, follow the instructions in music.lua.

For copyright reasons I can't distribute any Pokemon music with this AddOn, but if you know of some suitable music with a permissive licence (or in the public domain), just leave a comment on Curse or WoW Interface and I'll see if I can package it with future releases.

CAUTION: The included Populate_Music scripts will completely overwrite your existing music.lua file! Make sure you back up any manual changes you make.

Both the Windows and Unix scripts require the ogginfo program from the vorbis-tools package.

On Windows, download vorbis-tools-win32-bin.7z from here, unpack it and copy ogginfo.exe, libogg.dll and libvorbis.dll into the Interface\AddOns\PetBattleMusic\ogginfo folder.

On Mac OSX, you can install vorbis-tools from Homebrew (you don't need to put ogginfo in the AddOn folder like on Windows). On other Unix-like systems, you can probably install it from your package manager.

The Unix script also requires mp3info, available from Homebrew or your package manager.

Alpha Versions, API and Source Code
For the latest alpha versions, check CurseForge. API documentation for AddOn authors can be found here.

The source code is now available on GitHub.

I was, but it turned out I was mistaken... Apparently I threw around some mp3s in the folders last time I played WoW and didn't update the music.lua and then forgot about it during my WoW break.

Working now, was completely my error

Keep up the good work, I still totally love this addon!

Thanks, glad to hear it's working.

Are you still developing this awesome addon? Because right now, when I enter a pet battle, no music is playing at all for some time. If I wait long enough, eventually one of my tracks will start playing. Maybe a track plays in the background, muted, and the music can only be heard from the second track or something

If there's bugs, I'll try to fix them.

Demonstration effect ftw... since I downloaded 1.5 and added the GitHub core.lua, the problem seems to have vanished. But it's been random before, so I'm going to keep the debug version for now and I'll give you a holler once I run into the issue again. Thanks a lot anyways!

I just realised that I uploaded the 1.4 zip as 1.5. The real 1.5 zip has been uploaded now.

When things start acting strangely, could you upload the output to Gist and link it here? You only need to replace core.lua; you don't need to change music.lua, config.lua or your music files. This will be easier with an AddOn that allows you to copy the contents of your chat frame (e.g. Prat). Last edited by Choonstertwo : 10-31-14 at 10:45 AM.

The music keeps on playing and some of my other addons won't show up because they seem to think that I'm still in a pet battle. When I start a new pet battle in this situation, it loads a new random track. Now with 6.0.3 I get another issue as well: Sometimes when I enter a pet battle, the music plays for a few seconds but is then suddenly cut off before I can even enter the first command to my pets. No new music starts up until I finish the battle. I did some pet battling before I updated your addon to 6.0 and I never saw any of these issues on vanilla Nevertheless, I still keep using your addon as it's far too awesome for a few glitches to stop me from using it

It's been quite a bit more than a month now, I apologise as I must have forgotten about this.

Unfortunately I never found any issues; I'm not sure if 6.0 has changed anything for you now, but it may be worth a try.

In the meantime I tried setting it the config.lua file to "Master" instead, now it's totally screwed up: Sometimes at the end of a pet battle, my victory music does not play and it doesn't show the sequence of my pets being healed a little and gaining EXP; the game jumps right out of the pet battle the second the last enemy pet dies (my pets DO get healed, gain EXP and level up, it just doesn't show the sequence). My custom pet battle music will keep on playing when that happens and the default background music is muted. I have to log off WoW and log back in to stop the music playing. I set the config.lua back to "SFX" thinking "Master" might just be even more broken, but since then, it keeps happening from time to time even on "SFX". I'm afraid to try out "Ambient" next because it might be screwed up even further

I'm not even sure if it isn't a bug with the pet battles themselves rather than with your addon, because it doesn't even show the usual "after-the-fight-sequence"; it just happened the first time when I set it to "Master".

Anyways, whatever causes these issues, it definitely happens at the end of a pet battle. I'm using BattlePetCount and PetLeash, maybe there's a conflict with one of these?

EDIT: Also, it appears that the problem I posted back in october is still there.

Maybe the two are related? In one case the music doesn't stop playing despite the fact that the battle is over, in the other it keeps playing although the fight has been interrupted. I don't know anything about writing WoW Addons, but couldn't you just include a bit of code that checks every few seconds or so if the player is still in a Pet Battle and reverses the music back to normal if it returns false? As a workaround I mean, until you can nail down the true reason and fix it

The problem is that most of the time, the addon will leave the default WoW background music muted after a pet battle. I know I could get around that by changing the channel in the config.lua to "music", but I don't want that since it'll cut off my victory music before it's finished with the default background music starting up too early.

Version 1.2 includes separate music for different battle types (e.g. wild, NPC, PvP) and compatibility for Windows 8 in the two Windows scripts.
