The New PetEmote Thread - Incubus Ideas
You can find the original thread here!
Current News
I finally updated this page! Also Incubus have emotes!
The Pet Emote Addon and This Project
What PetEmote is:
PetEmote is an addon originally produced by Jorna and filled out by Teigan, now myself, and other people from Petopia. It produces random, pet family specific text emotes for your hunter pets, as well as warlock demon minions, DK ghouls and abominations and frost mage water elementals, to give them some much needed extra personality.
It is available on CurseForge and can be updated with the your favourite addon manager.
New emotes will be posted here first as ZIP files which can be downloaded and extracted into the PetEmote addon folder. My sibling, EthanCentaurai/Ravendwyr, is in charge of the addon's coding and looks after the Curse side of things and will update when necessary. Unzip the customemotes files into the PetEmote addons folder and overwrite the existing ones and you should be golden!
If you have your own version of the editor and make your own emotes with it: Make sure you backup your personal custom emote files! If you overwrite the existing files either with my own or by updating the addon they will be lost. There is currently no way around this, so keep your work safe!
What it does:
PetEmote causes random text emotes to appear in the game's chat box. These emotes appear to come from your pet and describe an action the pet is "doing". To someone who has the addon, your pet's name will appear. To someone who does not, the pet's family will appear. As these are actually customised character emotes those of the opposing faction will not be able to understand them. All they will see is "____ makes some strange gestures" as they would see for any non-standard emote.
What I did
Ever since Teigan stepped down as manager of PetEmote I, with some help with the hunter community, have continued to add new emotes to new and existing families as well as removing some old or redundant ones. That's... pretty much it right now

Re: The New PetEmote Thread
Wain told us to move our discussion of the "happy medium" or potential multiple packs to this thread, so I'll copy and paste my list from there.
To be honest, I think cats and quilen are hardly in need of a revamp when compared to other families. Sure, there are sabretooths and tigers vs stone and non-stone, but there are pet families out there that are much more diverse. Some of those have emotes that literally do not work for that model (I'll again bring up the example of my massive 1-ton silithid colossus "leaping maniacally in a circle" around me, and "fluttering his tiny wings" that do not actually exist.)
In the old thread, I proposed creating two separate packs, with such examples as...
The idea was not to implement some extremely complicated system that determined what NPCID the player's pet is, but rather the user would choose the emote pack based on which pets he or she used.Pandaria or Outland Striders only
Silithid Colossi only
Demon Dogs or Mastiffs only
Firespiders only
Arcane Serpents only
Owls or Eagles only
Arcturis or Ghostcrawler-unique emotes, because the existing emotes, which involve leaping, racing, and pouncing, don't really emanate "huge spirit bear" or "big ghostly crab"
If you use two different ones of those species on the same character (a regular serpent and an arcane serpent, or a tarantula and Deth'tilac) then presumably you'd stick with the same, default addon. If you use one on a certain hunter and a different species from the same family on another hunter, you could download both and enable/disable the two packs on those toons as you please.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread
I'd appreciate a toggle feature like this, as well as one that automatically disables PetEmote in battlegrounds/arena. (Now that I'm asking for the moon, hehe.)Poesje wrote:If I can suggest a feature, I think it would be nice if it would only show emotes to other people with the addon rather than to everyone. I get angry whispers from people when I use it, so Ive been running without it and missing it lately.

Thanks for taking this on, Varethyn. Best of luck with it all
P.S. I've also un-stickied the old topic (we really do have loads of stickies). The thread is here:

Could you please put a link to it somewhere in your first post as a permanent reference? Thanks

Re: The New PetEmote Thread
@Poesje: Having PetEmote able to be seen by everyone is how most people find out about it! Myself included I'm not sure how they'd be hidden anyway since they are really player emotes (hence the "makes strange gestures" to opposite faction thing). Best you can do for now is turn it off in places with lots of people. Or just when they complain, it's no fun having an addon you never use
A feature to disable it in BGs and arenas might be more plausible.
@Wain: Thanks a bunch! I had a link right at the very top but have now moved it down a bit to its own line and made it more noticeable.

Same. Most people absolutely love it.TygerDarkstorm wrote:That's weird. I've never gotten any complaints from other people about my addon. Usually I get curious statements, I've had raid members find it incredibly amusing and play along with it, and I've even had it start random RP sessions. I'm sorry you met up with some unsympathetic people.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread
I can kinda see why you dislike some of the emotes for the silithid collosi, i personally love that emote for mine. If you think about it those two emotes actually can work for them. If you have ever done AQ 40 the second boss in. Its the 3 silithid collosi. Yauj, Vem, and Kri. Yauj and Kri (blue and orange) are sitting at the back. And vem (pink) is skittering around in a pacing manner. Now if some collosi behave that way, why couldn't yours? And as far as the wings, I know the kuchong are not directly related to the collosi but visually they share similarities. Who is to say that they dont have underdeveloped wings underneath their shell casing? Not saying you are wrong or wrong to feel like they shouldn't be there, just my thoughtsEqueon wrote:Ah, glad to see that this excellent addon will continue!

Re: The New PetEmote Thread
Re: The New PetEmote Thread
For me, the cat emotes that say 'yowl' bother me, particularly the 'Cat yowls talkatively' emote. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see yowling as being talkative at all, but again, just my two cents.
Also, I've moved my dire horn and serpent emote ideas from the old thread, so Varethyn won't have to go digging through all those pages for them:
Dire Horn Emotes
Dire Horn snorts explosively, ruffling his/her master/mistress's hair.
Dire Horn bellows and tosses his/her head in a threatening gesture before charging at (hostile target).
Dire Horn stamps a foot and lowers his/her head, displaying his/her frill as he/she glares at (hostile target). Bring it!
Dire Horn bites and tugs on his/her master/mistress's pack, yanking him/her off his/her feet. Feed me!
Dire Horn rumbles and lashes his/her tail
-- anxiously, displaying his/her sharp spikes.
-- angrily, displaying his/her sharp spikes.
-- snapping a nearby sapling in half.
-- narrowly missing his/her master/mistress.
Dire Horn looks over at his/her master/mistress and lumbers off
-- to graze on a patch of nearby grass.
-- to browse through a nearby bush.
-- to nibble curiously upon a clump of nearby plants.
-- and scratches his/her side against a large rock. (Credit to Kalliope.)
Dire Horn leans
-- protectively against his/her master/mistress and stares at (neutral/friendly target).
-- against his/her master/mistress companionably for a moment.
-- against his/her master/mistress and yawns contentedly.
-- against a nearby rock and scratches his/her side against it, annoyed by an itch.
Dire Horn raises his/her head and bugles before tilting his/her head to listen
-- but no answer comes.
-- a few answering calls are heard in the distance.
-- and bristles when a roar is heard in the distance.
Dire Horn paws at the ground and snorts
-- flinching in surprise when he/she accidentally stirs up a critter.
-- sending up a cloud of dirt and debris, causing him/her to sneeze and shake his/her head.
Dire Horn gently rests a horn on his/her master/mistress's shoulder and rumbles
-- softly.
-- affectionately.
-- nervously.
-- protectively.
Serpent emotes
Serpent coils himself/herself around his/her master/mistress and
-- lays his/her head on his/her master/mistress's shoulder.
-- gives him/her a gentle hug.
-- glances around, looking for signs of trouble.
Serpent raises the first one-third of his/her body and
-- eyes (friendly/neutral target) warily.
-- regards (friendly/neutral target) curiously.
-- hisses threateningly at (hostile target).
-- stares at his/her master/mistress.

Would you like me to add that to the lumbering off emote to keep things organized? Credit to you, of course, Kalli!
Thank you, Lupis, I'm really happy you like them so much!
