Hi drdoom,
thanks for the answer, but what I was looking for is the bar for the experience of my pet. And there is none.

Go into the options by typing /xbar config
Click the + and select XPetStuffBar, then find the + down at the bottom and clidk it, you will see the options for the pet XP bar there.

Pet XP Bar

Hi,
I just found this addon and try to activate the "floating Pet XP Bar" for my hunter's Pets. But I have no idea how to! Maybe you can give me a hint?

Thank you!

Lol! And just as I got into learning how to create a Custom Bar (which, BTW, I love now). I did confirm that the last version was NOT saving configurations of what existing pet/mount combinations I wanted shown. However, I have created a custom bar for my alts that shows whatever pets and mounts they have of the ones I want shown. I'll check out this new version and get back with you about how well it's working.

EDIT: Yes, now the settings are being saved. CompanionBar is working the way it used to work. I'll probably find something to do with the CustomBar, but it's good to have the old model back. Great job. Keep it up!

Lemme test it out some more. I've been bounceing back and forth between the PTR and the live servers so much I can't be certain exactly what I'm seeing. I may just have not set up the bar after I upgraded. I'll go back to the main that was causing the problem and let you know what my results are.

Other than this little issue, I love XBar. I've been using it a LONG time.

v3.26 up, fixed some issues with the slide bars and XCompanionBar now lets you limit the # of shown pets, reducing lag. This fix was implemented so that the majority of users will not need any special configuration.

XCompanionBar limits the number of companions shown by simply ignoring them after a set number, so you will get the first (however many you specified) pets shown in your companion tab available to you. If you can't get the specific mounts you want to show without enabling a large number of companions (like the Zhevra), you should disable it and create a custom bar.
And now CompanionBar is completely useless. It doesn't seem to be saving, even on a per character basis, any of the companion settings. All it saves are the bar length settings. So hiding the unwanted companions again is a daily thing and even more of a hassle than making the previous version bar visible again. I'll look into creating a custom bar, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm just going to have to play with my mounts/pets the odd fashioned way. If the CompanionBar saved the configurations in some manner like it used to, that would be something.

Thank you for an excellent mod! Love it and can't live without it! Have one request though. My buff bar doesn't have the option to stack-ie, it's a really long bar and need it to stack sidebyside so that it is smaller in length or width; I have it vertical, so that it only occupies a small space horizontally but vertically it is really long and runs into my other bars. Anyway to fix this?

Not sure if it's related to that, but it seems that my Hunters start with CompanionBar set to invisible. I have ot go in every time I play and change it back to visible and then select and de-select (or vice versa) a pet/mount to get it to show up again. Only my Hunters are having this problem. Or course, since my Hunter is my pet/mount whore, I'm not sure if it's a high volume issue. I only keep the mounts lit that I actually use so it's mostly for my pets. I discovered yesterday (sadly) that the problem follows me to the PTR. Only my Premade Hunter has the issue, and he only has the default mounts (plus my five pets from being a Collector's Edition whore, too).

As for the Custom bar, sometimes they don't show up right away, sometimes you have to open your spellbook or move something in your bag to get it to display. Also, make sure you have the names typed exactly (case sensitive).

problem with macros

first off, i love the program. however i'm having a problem with it recognizing my macros and conjured items. i build it in the custom bar menu, when it reloads the ui they simply are not shown. they are still listed in the menu though.

Possible error in XCompanionBar

I've found a problem that appears to be within XCompanionBar, or just the XBar system in general. Mind you, I haven't done very extensive testing enabling/disabling my other addons, so the problem could be due to addon conflict, too ...

What I found is that when my XCompanionBar went over 150 entries (so far 78 pets and 75 mounts) I started to experience bouts of awful lag. The lag seemed to only occur when I entered or left a vehicle, or when I used vehicle abilities - for about 5-10 secs, I would be down to about 5fps. I always kept the XCB bar closed (150 pets IS rather screen-filling) but I noticed that the same lag happened when I opened it up. Disabling just that one particular addon removed the vehicle lag entirely.

So it appears that when there's over 150 objects on one of the XBars (or just the Companion bar), the client starts having trouble. This also only started after the recent patch (3.2.2a).

Otherwise, keep up the great work. A little more intuitiveness on the XCustomBar would be nice, but I really can't complain.
