Petster

Version: 20100.00

by: Zuban [More]

Update: Unfortunately my WoW account is no longer active and as a result, I will not be able to maintain my addons. If an author is interested in picking up where I left off, they are welcome to. Thank-you to those who enjoyed using Petster and sorry for having to leave it behind.

Forum Thread

The successor to my previous Feed Pet Button addon.

Warning: This addon is no longer dependent on the ZubanLib addon. Please delete the ZubanLib folder from your addons (if it's still there) since it may cause conflicts with Petster.

Note: The Basic Feed Button addon is disabled by default. Go into the addons management during login to enable it.

A hunter button addon that can be configured to feed a particular food to your
pet when clicked. The button casts other spells when "Feed Pet" is not ready.

Other features:
Basic Feed Button: Simplified version of the main feed pet button that only
casts Feed Pet. The button hides when the pet is away. By default this addon
is disabled and can be enabled through the "Addons" menu during WoW startup.

Extended Pet Buttons: a set of regular action bar buttons that switch
based on the presence of your pet.

Available actions:
- casts "Call Pet" if pet is away
- casts "Mend Pet" if your or pet is in combat
- casts "Revive Pet" if targetting your pet's corpse or while holding SHIFT
- casts "Feed Pet" if pet is available and not in combat
- casts "Dismiss Pet" while holding ALT

To associate a food to a pet:
- Call your pet if it is away
- Drag the desired food from your bag onto the button
- Each pet family is mapped separately to it's own food so you may have to
repeat for each pet

Note: Since this is a class specific addon, it is disabled by default. Click
the "addon" button on startup and enable this for your hunter character(s).

DEPENDENCIES
The "Petster" addon is a library that the others depend on so it should always
be enabled. You may choose to enable or disable the other addons as needed.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	I remember....back in the day...when HunterBar_FeedButton was a button that fed your pet . This seems to be growing out of control. If I wanted a bar mod, I'd download a bar mod. I can understand the below poster's comment. The major problem here right now (besides the increasing feature bloat)...this is apparently starting to taint frames in order to provide this new bar functionality. v20000.5 after adjusting some of its options on a hunter (not attacking or doing anything else): "ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED:AddOn 'Petster' tried to call the protected function 'PetsterExtendedAwayGroup:Hide()'.\n<in C code>: in function `Hide'\nPetster\\PetsterExtended.lua:44: in function `SetVisibility'\nPetster\\PetsterExtended.lua:376: in function `OnPetBarUpdate'\nPetster\\PetsterExtended.lua:308: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\Petster\\PetsterExtended.lua:296>" "ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED:AddOn 'Petster' tried to call the protected function 'PetsterExtendedPresentGroup:Show()'.\n<in C code>: in function `Show'\nPetster\\PetsterExtended.lua:42: in function `SetVisibility'\nPetster\\PetsterExtended.lua:375: in function `OnPetBarUpdate'\nPetster\\PetsterExtended.lua:308: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\Petster\\PetsterExtended.lua:296>".

Mousing over them pops up a drop down menu with serpent sting, rapid fire and several other skills. No idea what that's about.

Aalwein A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 147 File comments: 91 Uploads: 1	I don't remember where I saw this suggestion, but I wanted to repeat it because I would like to see it done: When the button is locked, hide the tiny little arrow that locks/unlocks the button. I find myself clicking the arrow more often than not even with the button scaled large. I guess I'm getting old or something. I just prefer the old functionality of Pet Feed Button (having to right click or ctrl+click on the button to unlock and lock it).

Zuban A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 16 Uploads: 1	@Lindalas, Petster will consume the same amount of memory regardless of disabled features but it is a not a data based addon so relatively speaking it's not a lot of memory. @Otano, yes it is possible to cast in combat as long as there is keyboard/mouse input to go with it. @Kolakhan, Petster comes with 2 size options. If you would like further control, it's possible to hack it in with these steps: 1) create a new blank text file called "PetsterCustom.lua" under the "Petster" folder 2) Put a single line into that file: Petster.Mover._smallScale = 0.3; 3) Play with the scale value until you get a size that you like. The normal scale is 1.0 and the default small scale is 0.6 so in the line above, it's even smaller. In version 20000.04, the extended pet buttons scaling can also be tweaked by adding a second line: Petster.Ex.Mover._smallScale = 2.0;

Zuban A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 16 Uploads: 1	Version 20000.05 Hi, I fixed a few bugs in this version. If you are still experiencing dragging issues with .05, try running "/petster reset" (note: reset is broken in .04). To be safe, follow that up with a "/console reloadui". Then reconfigure the options. Sorry for the inconvenience. I probably should be saving my configuration state before each major change so that I can test upgrade paths. When developing, things change incrementally and I probably miss stuff. But that's a lot of work.

Skan A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 75 Uploads: 0	I used this addon for a long time before 2.0 release, and quite frankly as it was: a simple button to drop pet food into and click when pet needs feeding : was perfect, I'm going to try this one again to replace fizzwidgets PetFeeder addon. I really really liked its simplicity in the first place (PRE 2.0 patch) Awesome Zuban, I'm really glad you made this one again!

Lindalas A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 76 Uploads: 0	Cannot drag buttons I cannot drag either of the two buttons. I really like the basic Petster button and wont use the extended one. Which leads me to my follow on question... does the "extended buttons" affect memory usage even if they are disabled? If they do it would be nice if we could get a separate download. If they don't I don't mind having all of it there and just disabling what I don't like.

Zuban A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 16 Uploads: 1	Version 20000.04 I've revived the Extended Pet Buttons addon as a "sub-addon" to Petster. There are no new features to the Feed Button so this release is mainly for those looking for a port of the Extended Buttons. There is also a new options form which allows either sub-addon to be disabled. Sorry to those looking for a simplified feed button. Instead I'm throwing out more features. There was a demand for this port so I thew it in first. After a round or two of bug fixes and localization, I'll work on the "Basic Feed Button".

Zuban A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 16 Uploads: 1	Tweaks can go in PetsterCustom.lua @Vladinator, Thanks for the suggestion. I welcome any tweaks or dependent addons to Petster. I've made it easier for anyone to add custom code such as Vlad's sample by creating a file called "PetsterCustom.lua" and dropping the file into the Petster folder. This is available in version 20000.04. In this new .lua file, you can override the existing code and it will not be overwritten when unzipping the next version. Of course, there are no guarantees that the custom tweaks will still work in the next release. I may overhaul the code on a whim. I'm crazy like that

Vlad A Molten Giant Forum posts: 793 File comments: 337 Uploads: 31	Imba addon, love it! Also here is a small tweak by me (nothing big) that was inspired by GW_FeedoMatic == OPEN == Petster.lua == FIND == //Around line 215 Code: Petster:Write(PetsterResources.FeedingPet..": "..self.SelectedFood.Link); == REPLACE WITH == Code: if (UnitSex("pet") == 2) then SendChatMessage("feeds "..UnitName("pet").." some good stuff! Good boy!", "EMOTE"); elseif (UnitSex("pet") == 3) then SendChatMessage("feeds "..UnitName("pet").." some good stuff! Good girl!", "EMOTE"); else SendChatMessage("feeds "..UnitName("pet").." some good stuff! Yum!", "EMOTE"); end When you feed the pet, it will say emote it (according to the gender) instead plain chatbox information. Last edited by Vlad : 12-22-06 at 07:05 PM.

Zuban A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 16 Uploads: 1	@Ricowan, the frame position is something handled by the native UI engine. If you edit the layout-cache.txt file in your WTF/Account/<account>/<realm>/<character/ folder you should see a reference to a Petster frame inside. If something is preventing this file from being updated then it may not be persisting the location settings. You might want to try a "/petster reset" to see if that changes anything.
