I've looked on the Ammunition Company site before and couldn't find any sort of immediate contact info.

She's posting again, or at least fairly recently.

[Vephriel]

Ooh, that's good. Perhaps leaving a comment about getting in touch could work?

[Teigan]

Found an email and sent one off.

This is what I said.

First off, we all love this addon! Second, a few of us over at Petopia forums have been playing with the Editor to making new emotes for families that didn't have many. It's gotten big enough that a few of our members are toying with the idea of putting it on Curse.com.
However, that would never happen without your express permission! We've been sharing custom emote files amongst ourselves, and if you don't like the idea of going thru Curse.com, we would never take it any further than that. If you would like to look at what we've been doing, here is a link to the thread.

I'm Teigan, by the way.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful addon and for the Editor that allows us to make it even better.
Sincerely,
Jessica (aka Teigan)

If this fails, maybe an EU player could contact her in game on her realm.

Submitted a comment where I linked to this thread. Let's hope she reads it! :)

[Lisaara]

Hehe, it's a good name.
Um..actually, I haven't written them yet...lab ran long and now I'm playing. But, yes, I'll PM them when I do.

It is....until 4 other girls in your class have the same name...then its ridiculous....

All good. XD Take your time on em and think it through step by step as if you're showing someone thats very un-computer savvy.

Hey Teigs. Great work on updating this addon.

A couple of things I noticed tonight trying to get it working and reading through all 11 pages of this thread:


The original addon petEmote1.6.4 was last updated for wow patch 3.2, so it shows up as out of date. All addons have a .toc file that defines various setup info about them.

You can edit this "PetEmote.toc" file with a text editor. Change the first line to read:

## Interface: 30300

then save the file.
This will get it to work under the current 3.3.X version but will break again once Cata is released. So long as no major coding changes take place, a change to :

## Interface: 40000

may work.

The petEmote editor program is a PC only program that relies on microsoft's .net framework to run. Version 3.5 is linked in Teig's first post but you can also download and use the newer v4 from microsoft's download site. Mac people may be able to use this if they use other methods to run PC programs on their machine already such as wine or parellels -this is probably beyond what most people here would need.

The original PetEmote download does not contain any custom-emotes files, so adding in Teig's downloaded files doesnt over right any of the original stuff. This MAY mean that her fixes to original content, such as the chimerae (sp), are possibly not included. I'll try to check this out over the weekend.

Cheers,
Crypt

Uh....her emotes did override a lot of the originals. o.o; Least for me it did.

[Lisaara]

Custom emotes are called such because they override the originals.

As for Cata, we'll come to that road as soon as it happens.

I noticed that last night the emotes were few and far between and none of the originals were there also.
Can this be fixed?
Also on mine most of my pets kept performing the same emote instead of changing to a new one. Maybe I extracted something wrong or something.
Just giving the heads up on what I saw.

[Lisaara]

i think it's random and some pets have more emotes than others.
