pet breeds addon

hi!
I'm using the battle pet breedID addon but its not really updated for the manafiends/hallows end pets, so now my only way of finding out the breed of a pet is by capturing, and checking on wowhead which breed it could be manually (which is kind of a hassle and I'm assuming this could be done easier some other way)

what addon you guys using?

I think those addons all use some kind of "database" which contains the breed ids people discovered over time.
So there probably isn't any addon with correct breed ids for those pets yet and we'll have to wait a bit.

Battle Pet BreedID used to be the most up-to-date addon from these, so I wouldn't expect a miracle.
PetTracker of course eats the sand, as it gets maintenance once… a quarter?

I'd rather wonder why WarcraftPets has problems with displaying lower levels. Of course, they are redundant, but as there is a formula stats are determined for each level at once…

Keep also in mind that some months ago wild pets have got a stealth nerf to attack power lasting until tamed.
(Probably to prevent some self-destructing abilities making pet catching a bit challenging).
This is a thing that still confuses some addons, so it's nothing strange that live observation can drive you crazy! :twisted:

I think this should add the BreedIDs to PetTracker:

1. Open: <wow>\Interface\AddOns\PetTracker\Core\Data.lua
2. Add the following at the end of the file:

Code: Select all

-- 6.2.2. hack 
Addon.Breeds[1730] = {5, 8, 9, 10, 11} -- Hallow's End: Spectral Spinner
Addon.Breeds[1740] = {3, 10, 5, 8} -- Hallow's End: Ghost Maggot
Addon.Breeds[1741] = {9, 11, 12, 10} -- Hallow's End: Ghastly Rat
Addon.Breeds[1764] = {5} -- 
Addon.Breeds[1765] = {6} -- + Manafiends
Addon.Breeds[1766] = {4} --
Addon.Stats[1730] = {8, 8, 8} -- Hallow's End: Spectral Spinner
Addon.Stats[1740] = {8, 8, 8} -- Hallow's End: Ghost Maggot
Addon.Stats[1741] = {8, 8, 8} -- Hallow's End: Ghastly Rat
Addon.Stats[1764] = {7.62, 8.38, 8}
Addon.Stats[1765] = {7.62, 8.38, 8} -- Manafiends
Addon.Stats[1766] = {7.62, 8.38, 8}
-- end of 6.2.2 hack
3. Save

Its based on the information someone posted in the comment section of Battle Pet BreedID on Curse.

Oh... wow... I didn't know about that. Thanks!

I was wondering the whole evening why I wasn't able to find a single P/P Nether Fairie Dragon.
Now I started taming some what appeared to be P/B before taming, and found a P/P one :)

Does Battle Pet BreedID have this issue too, or does it show the right breeds?

Not sure about that, I redownloaded it after your post and it trolls me with "NEW" output. :cry:

This one works, thank you. Not sure about the gap issue but their values probably make them gap-proof anyway.

I just updated and it works fine. Perhaps you didn't install it in the right place or you have an old copy in the virtual store (assuming you use windows 7 or higher)

I think I also found a fix for PetTracker for the issue Paladance mentioned regarding the 20% health and 25% attack power nerf to wild pets.

// edit - does not work 100% - will have to tinker with it some more

Tested it with the Nether Faerie Dragon in Feralas and it seems to work.
But can't guarantee for sure that this doesn't break anything.

Yeah, apparently Curse Client shown me the old version as after launching it again it shows me an update option. My apologies.

Anyone else keeps getting an S/B rat? Not a gap thing, I see the same numbers (besides quality) all the time.
EDIT: Nevermind…
I'm too sleepy to tell anything about the patch above, but it would be really nice to have this addon cared about.
Any chance for the contact with its author? You seem to get it.

I can try to get in touch with the author.
But his last answered ticket was back in July.
Looks like he's pretty busy. Might take some time.

Pet Battle Breed ID appears to have been updated today, so maybe they are back in business. The breeds of the Hallow's End pets are displayed.

@[profile]Shingetsu[/profile], I have noticed something about your second supplement.

It applies also to the player's pets, altering their breed too.

An S/S Mechanical Scorpid seems to be P/P during the battles.

To compare, BPBID deals with it flawlessly.

Yes, you're right. I noticed that too and changed the second patch.
I thought nobody used the first version, so I didn't mention that, sorry.

The new version should work.

// Edit: I also posted a ticket at CurseForge. If we're lucky Jaliborc finds some time and does an official patch :)

I went into battle and… let's just say that it hurted a lot.
Then I noticed that once (1.1) you've used a comma.

Changed this, but still it goes bonkers. Sorry :(

EDIT:
So: it doesn't show breeds, but uses the old upgrade template. I also don't see opponent's cooldowns and can't swap the pets. Kinda amusing how all things are connected with each other.
EDIT2:
No idea so. There's obviously something else. I stay with BPBID ATM.

Good luck anyway! :)

Oh, you're right about that comma.
First I thought you were right about that comma, but it's actually correct.

But after checking again, you're right about the breeds of the own pets.
Guess I'll have to tinker with it some more! :(
