Thats a shame cause I noticed PetEmote has a small typo.

should be sniffs, not sniff.

What do I need to download to get this epic add-on to work, with the latest patch? I get an error message when I try. Thank you!

Yes, Taluwen. I know. You pointed it out before. After I noticed it. There isn't ANYTHING I can do. I can't get the Editor to open and Jorna doesn't answer her email anymore.

Wonder why....hmm....

Pets are allowed their typos too.

Yeah, it's hard to type with paws *keysmashsnarlbitekeyboard*

LOL!

I haven't tried the editor, but I haven't had trouble getting pet emote to work.

I had to create a file for it in my Addons, but otherwise, it seems to be working fine.

My version is still working fine too, though i haven't updated it for a while. Might even have the raw zip file somewhere.

I wish I could help you out Teigan I just now downloaded this addon and your update package and have been enjoying it Wish I knew of a way that you could work on it again!

[Lisaara]

I wish I could help somehow.

[Jorna]

Erm... hi there! Looks like some trouble here.

@Teigan: I didn't receive any email from you since... May or so? Nothing in my inbox, also no spam. I thought you were just working on it. I don't know what's wrong that you can't run the setup, so maybe try this:
http://ammunition-company.zirkel-des-ce ... _setup.zip
You can unzip this and start it directly. If it throws any terribly looking error like "wtf, missing dll stuff, version 3.5.0.0" or so, you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21
If that doesn't work, I have no idea what's going on. What's your Windows Version? Maybe it's a problem with admin rights.

For those having problems with the "out-of-date" Addon: That's not a problem, just check the checkbox to load outdated addons. PetEmote is for WoW 4.1, now we have 4.2, but there is no need to change anything, it still works fine. Sorry if there are other problems - this addon stuff is really a mess in general.

Anyway, I have some other not-so-good news for you. I'll quit my account again in the middle of October. I have played WoW for about 5 afternoons since February. I just got bored after 6 years doing the same quests and I don't want to pay for it anymore just to log in once in a while to say hello to the remaining 2 people I still know. Oh, and I play Minecraft now.

So, it will be impossible for me to test PetEmote after I quit. I'm pretty sure that I will not want to resume work on PetEmote, if I ever play WoW again... too many other things to do, you know. I was thinking what to do and the best would be to find someone else who will keep this addon alive. Someone speaking English preferred, because there is nearly no PetEmote community in Germany like yours here. (Also there are not half as many German emotes). So I think it wouldn't be too bad if support for German clients ends at this point.

So maybe you know someone who

- basically knows how to code WoW Addons with LUA, no GUI skills needed
- can write full English sentences with less then 1 spelling mistake
- has Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 (Express should work too) and knows how to work on Windows Forms with C# (this last point is for the PetEmote Editor, not for the addon itself, but it should be the same developer if possible)
- has some webspace to host the downloads or knows how to use Curse (I don't ), though I don't know if Curse would want to host the Editor for security reasons
- has enough time and is willing to play WoW for the next 3 years or so
- is playing a hunter with all his heart and maybe warlock, dk or mage

Some IT student would be great. Also I always had the idea to re-invent the Editor as a web application for full support on all systems - might be a very fine project for someone who likes that kind of things.

I will release the Editor as Open Source the next days as zipped Visual Studio Project and additionally as Subversion dump. The code is rarely documented in German, but it is well structured and uses 100% English wording. There's no license or something, put it on Creative Commons if you like, but keep my name somewhere in it and don't sell it.

If we find someone who takes care of this nice piece of work, I will try to answer as many questions as I can (or want), but I will not help coding.

Does it look like I just came here to tell you that? Well that's it, sorry about that. I just had a 3-hours-trip around the Eastern Kingdoms on Sunday, that felt so goodbadgoodbadgoodbadwhatanicetimewehadhere... I'm sure you know what I mean, and it's the same with PetEmote.

Now, say something.

[Lisaara]

Aw We'll miss you Jorna! Thanks for lending a hand and creating this wonderful addon!

Maybe Teigan can take over. She seems to know how to work with it.

[Kalliope]

Jorna! We will certainly miss you and your work, though moving on is certainly understandable. Thank you for giving such a wonderful gift to the WoW community.

[Varethyn]

Sad to hear you'll be leaving the project Jorna, you pair did such great work together. If I had any IT skill whatsoever I'd offer but... sadly not
I know how it feels being bored of WoW. If my guild didn't need my dps (BM hunter in 1st-3rd place in raids, woop) I'd quit too. But as long as I'm playing WoW I'll be happy to check for typos and the like
Thanks for all you've done. Have fun in Minecraft!
