Auto Pet Switcher : Wild pet farming / leveling addon

Post by Pouzzler » March 12th, 2017, 5:13 am

Edit:

Following Quintessence's advice, I put the addon on curse [url]https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/263640-auto-pet-switcher[/url]. I sincerely hope this'll end up in at least her constructive criticism, for it is a little depressing to not get even one person's opinion :D


Hello,

I have created a small addon whose original idea was to help me level every pet I own without having to open the pet interface and switch them manually. Nowadays, I mostly use it to capture blue pets without the hassle of fighting full battles, or of switching pets manually :

I engage a wild pet, if there is no blue, I yield the fight. I engage the next one...
Every 8 minutes I heal all pets, and that's all I do.

How does it work?

You choose when it switches pet automatically (battle end, changing zones, ...)
You choose what level of pets you want (max, min, zone adequate, ...)
You choose some filters (full health, blue, fav, ....)

And that's it.

I'd welcome any ideas, criticism or comments about it : pouzzler.free.fr/AutoPetSwitcher.zip

Its slash command is /aps, which brings the interface.

Sounds interesting!

A suggestion: Many players are wary of downloading and installing addons from sources that are not very well-known, so I recommend uploading your addon to a vetted website such as Curse.com (specifically: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow).

I felt it was not really a good idea to upload a beta-addon, tested only by myself to curse. I understood it to be a place for production-ready addons. Furthermore, I'll have to check, but I doubt curse has staff to check if addons are viruses in disguise. They'd have to explore the whole code of each addon, which seems unfeasible.

Thanks for your kind words :)

Added a functionality to abandon a wild battle with no rares to capture in one click rather than two.
