Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Need Ideas For MECH Pets!
Here's what I have set up for mechs so far:
For now oxen are copied from boars and scalehides from clefthooves. Mostly cos I can immediately access those families whereas the most recent, custom ones need to be manually copy/pasted. Much fun. Not to mention the above mentioned problem determining sense throughout. Tweaks will be made!
Re: Gender-neutral options in all pets. I'd love to keep things equal and address this, however I don't think it would be possible with the current system as there isn't an option for "no gender". Because of that even if I did make gender-neutral emotes that mention gender (his/her master/mistress) the pet will still be made male or female and thus pull from the respective gender-specified emotes. Meaning you would get both "its master/mistress" and "his/her master/mistress". In short the only way to have gender-neutral pets is to remove all emotes that mention the pet's gender. Which is a lot of them. I'm sorry about that

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Need Ideas For MECH Pets!
just wanted to say hello. I'm Jorna, the original creator of PetEmote. So, hello!
I'm glad to see that PetEmote is still alive after all those years. The community seems to be bigger than ever. Wow! When i wrote the first lines of code (back in August 2008 I think) I couldn't imagine this would become such a big throw.
It was a good idea to hand this over to the English speaking community. Here in Germany the PetEmote community was pretty small, if it existed at all. Some of you might remember my horribly translated emotes from the early versions. Thanks to @Taigan this was fixed quickly.
Well, I'm not back in business, sorry. Just cleaned up my password database and found this old forum. I hope you will have fun with PetEmote for another long time, as much as I had creating it. Now after visiting this thread again, I'm sure PetEmote was one of the best things I did in my 7 years of playing WoW. So again: Wow!
And remember: Don't mess with the bear!
Greetings from Germany

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - New Emotes for New Families!
Dumb question but will the addon itself be updated come 7.0? For some reason pet emote seems to still show as "out of date" and causes hiccups for me even though I have the 06/27/15 file.

Zed - It should be. If it doesn't I'll be sure to give my brother a poke about it; he's gotten a job recently so it's possible it slipped his mind.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - New Emotes for New Families!
As Frisk said all if not most hunter pet families have some sort of food-related emote, whether they tug at their master or mistress' pack, mope about or simply wander off to find their own meals. All emotes save a few, a particularly special crab emote for instance, have a 100% chance to be used so there's a 1 in however many emotes that family has for your pet to say it's hungry in some way. What people are referring to when they mention nonstarving/starving pets is the old Affection system pets used to have, and some emotes were created specifically for each mood the pet could be in (Happy, Content and Unhappy). Since that was taken out ages ago the affection rule no longer applies so all emotes are completely random regardless.
On a semi-related note, I've seen people mention that they've been using Feed Pet a lot more since the Mend nerf. Would some feeding emotes be something people be interested in?

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - New Emotes for New Families!
some things I wanted to suggest if that is okay? on the subject of feeding related emotes could it be possible to have a favored food group for families? I.e Cats would maybe prefer Fish, and turtles could prefer fungi or fruits? sorta give it that "special treat" feel?
I'd also like to point out the Death Knight Lv 60 Talent "sludge belcher" which summons an abomination in place of your ghoul doesn't seem to be supported, if you like I could write some stuff up and post at a later date?
and lastly is there any way of have a pet emote if you emote to it? like that Dog npc at your farm in panda land?
sorry if these are a bit pretentious, I have no idea how hard making or maintaining an addon is.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - New Emotes for New Families!
Ooh I didn't know the abos had their own family! I'll certainly look into getting in some gross and disgustingly delightful emotes for them. I already have some good ideas.
Sadly there's no way to have a pet respond to emotes, which is a shame cos ever since meeting Dog I would love to do things with my pets as well.
No problem at all! feel free to continue to suggest things and we'll see if it's possible or not. One thing to bear in mind (and something I should update in the OP, whoops) is that I personally only handle the writing of the emotes. The actual code-side of things is left to my brother EthanCentaurai and things may be slow on that end as he recently got a full-time job. We do talk often however so we'll do what we can when we can

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Abominable Emotes!
Bad news! I've been playing around with the feeding emotes and they seem to work off a different generation system since they're procced by clicks rather than time. They do work but are extremely rare even when cranked up to the max chance of 200%, with spam-clicking food a pet doesn't like resulting in something of a 1/500 chance to get anything. And since Feed Pet has a 10 second CD... that's a lot of waiting. Terribly sorry for this
