In terms of the Editor, it's simply so you can add your own ideas to the existing (or missing, in the case of lesser dragonkin) families. I could swear though that at one point you could make a custom config per name as well, but it's been too long and I couldn't get it to work on my end either. As for setting the pet's family in-game, that's purely cosmetic and simply changes what other players who don't use PetEmote see.

Sorry for the disappointment.

Oh no, you're fine! I'm just out of my depth with LUA; I'm going to attempt tackling it again because I do love to dig around and figure stuff out! (That or I just may change the emotes for Spirit Beasts into Stormrook emotes, since I don't really use Spirit Beasts ASIDE from the stormrooks)

Edit: I swapped the emotes and it worked well!

After all my futzing, I realized the actual family is based on the pet family in wow and what I was asking was outside the scope of the addon due to game mechanics, so editing the base emotes for my own use is the way to go!

I've actually never touched the LUA script myself either and edit everything with the Editor, so I wouldn't have been much help there anyway
I'm glad you've managed to get things as you prefer them to be!

A small update, I've updated the first post of the thread to reflect current circumstances and put the commands where everyone can see them without going to the CurseForge page. Let me know if it looks good and makes sense!
After going back in the thread I also noticed that there was a bug throwing errors and have notified Ethan/Raven about it. Along with that, Succubus had been untitled somehow and Toads and Cranes had yet to be updated to Hoppers and Waterfowl respectively, so I don't think any of those families would have been emoting properly. An update to fix it should hopefully be available in the near future. Apologies for that!
Lesser Dragonkin emotes will come later.

I finally unlocked lesser dragonkin taming and spent a couple of days with all of the types. Emotes are now available for testing!

I hope everyone who's downloaded the new emotes have been enjoying their newly vocal dragonkin! I caught one typo, so that's been fixed, and will be throwing them over to be added to the main addon soon, so any and all feedback and discussion is appreciated

PetEmote has now been brought up to date with the latest patch. A few things of note:

Clefthooves and Scalehides have had their emotes bulked up a bit (gradually working my way through families with the least emotes).
Mechanicals and Feathermanes have had a couple of emotes tweaked if not fully removed due to how, honestly, childish and jokey they were.

As always, if you have made custom emotes make sure you back them up before updating the addon!

I ran into an unfortunate issue with PetEmote that is a lil off putting. My Warlock is using the Incubus yet pet emote, even when I switch genders, still says 'she' when using emotes. Is there a fix for this at all?

EDIT: I have installed the Alpha and still no success. Installed the custom emotes and it still won't change the Succubus emotes to the Incubus.

Love this addon so much but I can't seem to get the editor to work. I have no problems with the program, I can add emotes and stuff, and I press Save, but for example, I added a Boar emote with condition "Food Accepted". but my boar doesn't emote when I feed him. So I am not sure if I am doing something wrong when I edit/create emotes? Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Hello all! With the new pre-Midnight patch, I noticed that this addon is being listed as "incompatible". Is there any workaround for this? I honestly love this addon for my warlock and would be very sad to see it go.

I have informed my sister (who is in charge of the code), but she's going through a tough time right now. Hopefully we can figure things out and get our pets emoting again soon!

Thank you so much and my condolences to her. Give her lots of hugs for us and let her know we appreciate all she has done for us thus far. <3

Oh no! I hope things get better soon! Please give her our love! We do appreciate all the work that is done with this addon!

PetEmote should once again be operational! At least on Retail. Any feedback from Classic users would be appreciated!

Reminder as always: Be sure to back up any custom emotes you have made as the core addon will overwrite them.

Sadly that option didn't seem to work for a while, and even so patch 12.0 has now completely prevented it from working; PetEmote pulled from the combat log to monitor feeding, but as addons are no longer allowed to read the combat log that means it can no longer happen. It might still work on Classic but no promises there. I'm sorry about this

Heya Vare! I saw that PetEmote got updated for the new xpac, but on Curseforge (and WoWUp), the addon says it hasn't been updated in nearly a year; is that a mistake, or is there somewhere else that the newer version of the addon should be downloaded from?

Ah, sorry for the confusion. I wasn't aware either. It's because the beta file, found here, isn't immediately recognised as an update. Likely PetEmote won't be fully released until I've given whiptails and florafaun some emotes to start out with, but the addon is still functional in the meantime!

Gotcha, tysm for the response! :3
