Pet Theory  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 5.4.0-1.1.12
by: Torhal [More]

Improves upon the functionality of the PetJournal and information during Pet Battles and while wandering Azeroth.

Features

  • Clearly displays rarity for both enemy and friendly pets during Pet Battles
  • Shows which rarities and levels of Battle Pets have been captured in their tooltips and in Minimap tooltips.
  • Displays rarity color for pets in the PetJournal, and displays rarity for non-wild pets.
  • Displays a tooltip when hovering over pets in the PetJournal so you can easily see their passives, pros, and cons, without having to click on them first.
  • Allows sorting by name, level, power, speed, health, and type in either ascending or descending order.
  • Filter pets by zone.
  • Double-click a pet in the PetJournal to summon it.

5.2.0-1.1.11
- Bump ToC version to 50300.

5.2.0-1.1.11
- Fixed incorrect check for unknown pets.

5.2.0-1.1.10
- Bump ToC version to 50200.
- Cleanup, and color the names in the PetJournalPetCard by rarity.
- Updated API usage.
- Added item-to-NPC mappings for Hyacinth Macaw, Mr. Chilly, Sen'jin Fetish, and Lil' K.T. (thanks, sidji!)

5.0.5-1.1.9
- Added mappings for Wolpertinger's Tankard and Parrot Cage (Cockatiel)
- Fix zone filtering for zones with empty sub zone names.
- Might help to include AceDB-3.0 in the list of files to load. Oops.
- Give pets which are set as Favorite precedence in the sorted list.

5.0.5-1.1.8
- Fixed errors caused by the fact that FloatingBattlePetTooltip doesn't have an info_line (yet).
- More loading changes, to prevent errors.
- Don't just hide the PetJournalFilterButton and PetJournalListScrollFrame - completely remove their anchors as well so they cannot possibly show.
- Handle edge-case where zone name is nil (likely before the player is completely in the game) and added matching against the sub zone as well.

5.0.5-1.1.7
- Removed redundant information from Auction House tooltips.
- Fixed the ever-growing Auction House tooltip.
- Revamped loading and list handling logic.
- Don't color the pet level by quality - it can be hard to read when blue.
- Prevented the final (and invisible) list button from displaying a sticky tooltip when clicking on the Pet Journal tab.
- Treat all sort fields the same; check to see if one of the compared pets has a nil field and relegate to the end of the list. This ensures that sorting by, for example, primary stat will not mix pets without a primary in with those that do.

5.0.5-1.1.6
- Changed tooltip code to be sensible - no more overlapping FontStrings.
- Show the rarity color for the pet named in the release-confirmation popup.
- Disable the "Only Favorites" checkbox when turning off "Collected" - don't disable "Collected".

5.0.5-1.1.5
- Added filter/sorting persistence. Completely exit WoW before updating.
- Setting up hooks when Blizzard_PetJournal is already loaded would probably be a good idea…
- Added the ability to summon a pet on double-click of the list button.
- Check for nil rarity (only happens immediately after learning a pet).

5.0.5-1.1.4
- Properly remove/relocate pets in the registry when one is released.
- Repopulate the caches and list even when the PetJournal isn't visible...fixes issue where releasing/obtaining pets wasn't registering on the minimap and also causing Lua errors for pet rarity.
- Switch tooltip when hovering over a pet in the list to show one of its three abilities when pressing SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT.
- Widened the total/unique frame so the text will fit in other locales, and moved it to the bottom-center of the PetJournal.
- Fix display of known/unknown in tooltip of Battle Pets in the auction house.

5.0.5-1.1.3
- Don't allow the inserted text to overwrite the speed advantage text in the PetBattle tooltip.
- Minimized lines added to tooltips.
- Update the pet list when zoning so the list is correct if filtering by current zone.
- Set released pets as unowned.
- Make sure the Blizzard_PetJournal isn't already loaded before setting up UI elements.
- Changed calculation for max health stat weight.
- Reset the list scrollbar to the beginning when toggling Collected/Not Collected or the zone-only filters.
- Much improved filter handling.
- Restore generic sort fallback to hit level/descending before name/ascending.

5.0.5-1.1.2
- Added display for a pet's primary (highest) stat next to the level icon.
- Added ability to sort by primary stat.
- Fixed issue some people were having with tooltips suddenly appearing while the PetJournal was closed.
- Fixed issue where typing in a search query would produce erratic results in the list and make it seem as though no other pets existed for the tooltip output.

Error message when highlighting pets

Every time I highlight a wild pet in the mini map or in the wild that I don't have a rare of I get an error message.

Message: PetTheory-5.0.5-1.1.2-5-gaf39c16\Core.lua:181: attempt to perform arithmetic on field "rarity" (a nil value)
Time: 10/05/12 21:19:42

Locals: <none>

Once I caught a rare that would bring up the error before has now stoped. Also if I don't even have an uncommon the error also shows up. So just when I highlight a pet that I either don't have or don't have the rare of that type of pet. But stops once I have it.

Thanks and great add-on by the way. Only thing it needs now beside a few fixes is a way to set up and save battle pet teams.

filter wierdness

I just noticed when I'm in Iron Forge and sort on zone only it shows no minipets.
Dun Morogh shows minipets not found there like cockroaches, snakes, frogs, maggots, and spiders.

Then during moving back and forth between IF and Dun Moroh for testing it added Adders to the DM list, but IF stayed an empty list.

I enabled and disabled it - nothing.
Restarted the game client - nothing.
I use Pet Battle Teams so tried it with that disabled - nothing.
In DM if I toggle showing uncaught it changes the order in the list for duplicate pets by green vs blue.
Toggling the unselect all and select all for each filter did nothing.
There were no config files to delete in case something got corrupted.
I tried changing zones with Current Zone selected and not selected - nothing.
I run Bugsack and no errors get thrown into it.

Have fun.

I have not disabled all mods except this one yet.
I will try that later when I have time to play.

Persistence is something I hope to work on over the weekend, time permitting.

Excellent! And they both work like a charm so far! Still, I feel the urge (even though I may cross a line here ) to stress out the need for less cluttered tooltips. At least the ones in your mini map! I don't mind world tooltips being informative and detailed, but the same format in your mini map makes it a little overwhelming.

They tend to obscure and/or make it harder to identify some other items you may be tracking like mining/herbalism nodes, townsfolk (like stable masters) etc. One simple line à la BattlePetCount with a colorized, based on the highest quality, "owned" or a red "not owned" tag would suffice. Or better yet if you still want to go on with the current tooltip approach you could present us with a few options and let us handle world and mini map tooltips ourselves.

Thanks again for your hard work.


EDIT: Something I just noticed during the course of my play. The option to filter pets by current zone doesn't stick. In other words if you log out and then back in you have to re-apply the filter. You might call this nitpicking but having it stick is indeed a huge time saver! You just log in and get into action ASAP!

suggestion

One of my biggest gripes about the standard pet interface is that each time you add a pet to your team, it defaults to using the first ability in all three slots. There are a few pets where I always want the second ability. I'd like the ability to remember the ability choices so that it defaults to whatever I last picked.

Having it "stick" is something I'm adding to (likely) the next release, as well as options. As for the quality/rarity of pets in the field, that is not possible.
Awesome! Also, I like how you've highlighted things with the quality. Borders, Names, etc. But not the level numbers. The blue level numbers can be difficult on the eyes. Perhaps an option to turn this back to white? Love the highlighting everywhere else though. Great job and thanks for your reply.

After playing a bit with my low level monk, I realized that filtering/sorting by zone is absolutely essential. Questing in a zone and knowing what pets to catch while doing so, is a huge time and trouble saver! Adding this feature would make a lot of us very happy pandas (pun intended )

If you close the pet journal window with text in the search field the tool tip will not accurately show if you have the wild pet you are pointing at.

Example.

I search for rat in the pet journal.

I point at a rabbit and it shows I do not have a rabbit captured yet.
But, I do, in fact, have a rabbit in the journal.
So...I blank out the search field and close the journal again.
This time pointing at the same rabbit shows in the tool tip that I have one captured.

It appears the data used for the tool tip is dependent upon the search field results even if the journal is closed.

I thought the tool tip was broken or inconsistent until I realized this was happening.
I hope fixing this is a SMOP and not a Blizzard bug.


Love this addon....
Not actually a bug - unfortunately, it's an issue with the evil filter system for the PetJournal that I'll have a workaround for soon.

The way you decided to handle AH tool tips is one good step in the right direction. Could you please do the exact same thing with the world and mini map tool tips? Or at least give us an option to either choose the more detailed (and clutter-y) format or the minimal and more easily readable one? For me, all you need to know is if you have the mini pet, how many of it and their quality all in one line much like how BattlePetCount handles this info.

Again thanks for your work. I'd rather have one addon that handles ALL my pet needs in one convenient suite than four different ones! Yours is just what a sensible pet collector needs and spot on for the job (sans those minor details ofc )!

Could you add sorting by zone and also add number of unique pets to the pet journal please? Then I can stop using Pet Journal Enhanced completely.

Also the tooltip is messed up a bit when you are battling a pet on mouse over the current opponent health bar. Your info is displaying over the last lines of that tooltip
