Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Blood Beasts
Best friend instead of owner/tamer. I always thought of my pets as my friends for some reason.. and friend is gender neutral

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Blood Beasts
%t only works when something/one is targeted by you. Left with no target it would come up with <no target> so sadly that is not possible unless you like to target yourself while idle.Bowno wrote:What about partner or tamer?
Or it can just %t the hunters name and state the name of the hunter who owns it. Sure, we'd be seeing the hunters name twice, but.. It's an option as well.
Maybe with some code tweaking but right now neither of us have the knowledge nor time to integrate a toggle feature. I may even leave them be given that it was one comment in an old thread. It just made me think how others felt about them and wanted some opinions.Fawn-Dew wrote:I dont mind the targeted emotes myself, but then I'm not on an rp server, so maybe have it be toggleable? is that possible?
Gender-neutral pets could also be an option. Depending on how people would like to RP themselves and their pets I could make another version where all pets are neutral as well, and separately for those who consider their character a particular gender while their pets are neutral.Tårnfalk wrote:" Müsli look up at her (pets gender) best friend and purr. " could be it´s best friend if you want gender neutral pets too?
Just... don't ask for specific families to be neutral other than mechanicals. That would get very complicated
Regardless, thank you all for the suggestions
Current list of gender-neutral terms:
Hunter
Tamer
Companion
Partner
(Best) Friend
Depending on the emote and family I could even go deeper and use things like packmate, flockmate, pridemate etc.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Blood Beasts
I finally got the ability to tame then, and for added special quality snuck into the Horde troll citty and tamed a brown one specifically so I could name him Potato.
Because he is an uglycute wee angry potato boy and needs love.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Blood Beasts
One of the reasons I stopped using it was because it didn't used to cooperate with my RP addon, and I'm not sure when that changed, but suddenly it works again! It's nice to get reacquainted with my pets' personalities. I'm so glad this addon's been maintained over all these years.

Are you still looking for the Editor's source code? I still have it in my archive. PM me if you need it.

Re: The New PetEmote Thread
However, I seem to be having trouble using the editing program. I'm on Windows 8, and after installing the core addon on Twitch and downloading the files for the editor, it gives me an error that says PetEmote needs to be installed before I can continue, despite it being in the addon folder.
I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but with the same results. Really looking forward to getting this figured out so I can have my water elemental spritz nearby plants and flowers!!

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Shadowlands Prep!
So uhh. Hi. It's been a while since I checked the WoW side of these forums since I quit WoW shortly before the end of Legion (right before Tomb of Sargeras opened, let alone the Argus stuff). Also I apparently never subbed to this thread and missed a couple messages. I am so sorry for that!
First of all, it's great to see that some of you are still interested in using this addon! I burned myself out taking on too many projects at once, particularly in looking into separate files for gender-neutral pets and owners, which is why I never did much else with this. However, after stumbling into the Beta Beasts thread and seeing all the new goodies on offer (along with being poked by an old guildie looking to get me back for Shadowlands) inspired me to boot this back up. Blood beasts finally have a few emotes to use, new emotes have already been prepared for the upcoming families and existing families have been renamed.
This is for Shadowlands prep so the files haven't been uploaded yet, though the new family names can easily be swapped back for anyone wanting to use the updated files now.
Because of this! If any of you have personal custom emotes, you'll want to save a backup of the three custom emotes files in the PetEmote addon folder. Adding in any new custom emotes or updating the addon will reset them to what I have as default. As always, if there are any you'd like to see in the addon proper feel free to plonk them here - I'll happily add them if I feel they make sense!
These files will however still be the "classic" version with gendered pets and owners, and the owners referred to as master or mistress. If you feel strongly about gender-neutral emotes then I shall do my best to add alternate file options later on. These would require rewriting almost every emote in the system - and there is a LOT! Patience is much appreciated <3
@thousandmouthed and anyone else looking to try using the Editor for themselves - If you have it currently and it's claiming the addon isn't installed you need to move the editor somewhere else (it can be anywhere on the computer, not necessarily in the WoW folder itself) until it asks to locate the WoW folder. Then you want to select the Retail folder within the WoW folder for the Editor to detect it properly.
@Jorna - It's great to see you guys are still around! I've been chatting with EthanCentaurai about updating and possibly reworking the Editor, so you can expect a PM soon

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Shadowlands Prep!
I must stress that this only removes reference to 'mistresses', not makes the character gender-neutral. If you really want a set like that I'm afraid it'll need to wait. It's harder to rewrite emotes for all the families than it might seem - I mean it when I said this took all day!

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Shadowlands Prep!
Judging by my notifications I'm guessing there was a spammer with malicious links? I hope there's nothing wrong with my attachments.
Um, there wasn't a huge intention to relabel 'master'. At least not yet. I'm not quite sure where that was pulled from. Right now I'm more concerned about the emotes/addon itself working properly and if there's any mistakes that need fixing. That said, if there's big enough demand to relabel 'master' then I'll set up a poll for the most desired replacements.

Correct. Someone made a new account yesterday and started posting links to a website that they claimed you could buy Warcraft movie props from.Varethyn wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 8:24 pmJudging by my notifications I'm guessing there was a spammer with malicious links?

Re: The New PetEmote Thread - Shadowlands Prep!
Please as always make sure to back up any personal custom emotes you may have and alert me to any mistakes I missed or ideas for the new families. Otherwise, enjoy and have fun!
