v1.3: Removed some unnecessary strings and exposed some new ones for localization, fixed a string in French. Hardcoded some new mounts to compensate for inconsistent tooltips. Fixed a bug where progress bars in the Skills tab could exceed the width of the window. Modified the look of the Pets tab to more closely match Blizzard's Currencies tab.

No error comes up, neither ingame or lua. Disabling this makes it work again. __________________ Livestream \| Twitter \| YouTube

Gah! I've been too busy this week due to school.

Anyways, hello again

Not sure why the weapon skills wouldn't show up. Possibly, there are some invisible characters attached to the string that're throwing it off. Would you grab this addon and send me the file it specifies? It should trigger when you log in and dump all of your Skill data into your Saved Variables.

It's something that I'll consider. I'm still not truly happy with the 3D tooltips for the Pets, and have some plans over there. The Character pane may see the same treatment, or some sort of toggle. For the time being though, my efforts are going into the Reputations tab. It's badly in need of some help, now that its worse-off brethren have been taken care of.

Thank you.

This was suggested by vivianalive a few weeks ago. Basically, I do not intend to restore the 3D display because I see it as a waste of screen real estate, although you are welcome to argue (not flame) against that; I've been reconsidering the point recently. My response to him was as follows:

One of my primary goals is to make this addon feel so "in the background", so passive, that it just feels natural. That said, I'm aware that not all classes need all of the stat displays; that's the nature of the game itself. However, Base Stats, Resistances, and Defenses all have some relevance for every class in the game (though perhaps not your particular playstyle), and hybrid classes may care about more than just the two sets of stats the Blizzard UI can show you.

I choose to hide the 3D model of your character because, if I should want to view my character, it is always sitting in the middle of my screen. As such, I find an additional display of my character on the UI to be without any additional value, and indeed, a waste of screen space. Once that portion of the UI is freed up, there is exactly enough room to comfortably display all of your characters stats, and I choose to believe that more information is a preferable state of affairs, even if some of that information is of only marginal worth.

In summary, I am unlikely to adopt your suggestions, because the presence of such a toggle runs counter to my intents in creating this addon. If you desire a 3D display on your Character pane, this is not, and likely will not, be the addon for you.

I believe Torhal was looking into making it work, but didn't know if you guys were collaborating or not.

After having looked into it, this is a change that would be better made on the Collectinator side. It's a fairly simple fix, though, and Collectinator offers the same support for PetList+. I shot a Bug Report over to Ackis with those fixes, but if you can't wait, try copy/pasting the following blocks of code into your local files. Just select the entire block in your file that matches and paste this in its place.

Collectinator\Frame.lua, line 4054:

Code:

	if (PetListPlus and PetListPlusFrame:IsVisible()) or (CE_Pets and CE_Pets:IsVisible()) or companion_frame:IsVisible() then

Collectinator\Collectinator.lua, circa line 333:

Code:

	-- Add to PetList+
	if PetListPlus then
		button:SetParent(PetListPlusFrame)
		button:Show()
	end
	if CE_Pets then
		button:SetParent(CE_Pets)
		button:Show()
	end
	button:SetHeight(20)
	button:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonUp")
	button:SetScript("OnClick",
				  function()
					  local companion_frame = PetPaperDollFrameCompanionFrame
					  local is_visible = (PetListPlus and PetListPlusFrame:IsVisible()) or (CE_Pets and CE_Pets:IsVisible()) or companion_frame:IsVisible()
					  -- Alt-Shift (Warcraft Pets)

Love the idea though, and the layout is great, so really hoping they some day work together. Thanks Last edited by Fraktyl : 05-09-10 at 08:10 AM.

I was unable to recreate this bug by any combination of changing tabs, summoning and dismissing my pet, and relogging with and without my pet active. If you can provide more details on how to cause the bug to occur, or the circumstances in which it did, I'll be happy to take another look.

However, I did find a couple of bugs related to proper texturing of the frame, and assigning companions the proper ID numbers when new companions are learned. So, there is a small patch going up now.

You certainly should have a Pet subtab. I'll hop on my own hunter and see if I can replicate this bug; if I find it, expect a fix within the day.
