About Livestock
Livestock: For all your companion needs
Now that your pets and mounts don't take up space in your bags, Livestock lets you manage them intelligently. This addon sorts your companions into land mounts, flying mounts, and vanity pets. Then, with the push of a button, you can randomly summon any of the three, or designate a favorite pet to have out on command.
You can also have Livestock always keep a pet by your side, and have it dismiss your vanity pet when you are in PVP battle and it would give away your position.
You can even tell Livestock to put you on a random land or flying mount depending on whether the area you're in lets you fly or not. Underwater or in combat, Livestock can also be configured to cast certain spells relating to travel, such as Path of Frost or Ghost Wolf.
You can even designate certain pets or mounts to be called in certain zones or subzones. Ride in style on a Frostwolf Howler while in Alterac Valley, and then switch to your favorite color of Mechanostrider while in Ironforge. Livestock will let you make sure that you have your good luck pet out whenever you're in Ulduar or Trial of the Crusader.
You can summon critters, land mounts, and flying mounts in various ways. See the ReadMe file for more information.
Localization Help:
Livestock currently only completely works for the enUS, deDE, eES, ruRU, and frFR clients. (The client is only localized completely for the enUS client, and assistance in localizing is always appreciated!) If you are on another client, Livestock will load but will show all English strings. If you are willing to help localize the addon for your language, please let me know - you'd only need to provide some simple translations and I'd do the rest. You can reach me through the Private Message system available here.
Slash Commands:
Slash Commands:
There are currently eight slash commands for the addon. View the ReadMe file for a more in-depth explanation. /livestock or /ls both work for commands.
- Use "/livestock" to bring up the main menu bar.
- Use "/livestock reset" to move the four Livestock Buttons back to their default positions.
- Use "/livestock scale <scale>" to change the size of the Livestock Buttons.
- Use "/livestock prefs" as a shortcut to access the preferences, described in the ReadMe.
- Use "/livestock redo" to force Livestock to reset to default. Useful for squashing buggy behavior at the cost of having to reset your settings.
- Use "/livestock [zone/subzone]" to designate a pet or mount for your current zone or subzone. For more information, check the ReadMe.
- Use "/livestock [mount/nomount/pet/nopet]" to add/remove pets and mounts from the random summon list. Uses your active summon.
- Use "/livestock debug" - Prints out useful debugging information that can assist the developers in solving problems. Use the command again to turn off the debugging output.
Livestock Options and Preferences:
You can find the options for Livestock in the Addons tab of the Blizzard Interface options menu. The "Livestock" tab has the major options, while options for pets and Smart Mounting are in sub-menus. You can read more about the preferences in the ReadMe file.
Bugs Reports and Feature Requests
If you find unexpected behavior in Livestock, especially in locales other than enUS, please check the FAQ at http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?id=474&a=faq first to see if it has been addressed and if there is a possible fix.
Please report any bugs you find with Livestock, or feature requests you'd like to see, using the "Report Bugs" or "Feature Request" button underneath the Download button, up and to the right. I appreciate your feedback and support.
If you are reporting a bug, the following information is helpful: Any error messages that you saw, where you were (if you can give coordinates, that's excellent), what you were trying to do, what your menus looked like, and what class you play.
Thanks!
Well-deserved credit goes to the following people:
- Khanthal (Uldum), for the original idea and being our MT so often!
- A BIG thank you to Sbo (UI and Macros forum, Live) who helped me figure out what was the issue with Dalaran and Wintergrasp as well as suggesting the way to get around it.
- Grimgear (UI and Macros forum, Live) for helping troubleshoot a bug, pointing me to keybindings, and suggesting rotation speed. Also for pointing out how best to adjust my GUI to compensate for localization.
- Lunessa (UI and Macros forum, Live) for pointing me to Blizzard's instructions on creating panels in the Interface menu.
- Xelron (UI and Macros forum, Live) for helping construct debug messages to get more information and indirectly convincing me to make my own dropdowns.
- Ro (UI and Macros forum, Beta) for the 3D model viewer idea. Ro also originally suggested making my own custom dropdowns, which I thought was beyond me!
- Elloria and Tgulics (WoWInterface) for helping spread the word and test the addon in its earliest stages and for suggesting highlighting the buttons when they're clicked.
- The MVPs (UI and Macros forum) for providing the resources needed to accomplish this one as well as stepping in and answering my questions from time to time. Special thanks to Alestane and Iriel for helping me with secure handlers.
- kdkunde (WoWInterface) for helping translate this mod into German so far!
- Vastilia (WoWInterface) and Yorgl (Curse) for helping translate into French!
- madbit (WoWInterface) for the Spanish translation.
- simply (Curse) for the Russian localization.
- Certainly not least, Brenkite (Uldum) for being my personal troubleshooter and moral support.

Just a reminder for anyone else trying to remember how to move the livestock buttons - hold down shift & drag. I knew could move them, just took me a few minutes of trying to remember how to do it. Didn't see it noted in the readme file or as an option on the menu. Just sharing!
There's a small, but sometimes annoying thing i noticed about Livestock mount randomizer: it creates a short lag during the mount cast. Not even a lag - just drop in FPS for less then 1 second (especially easy to see if i try to move the camera during the mounting cast), which is something i generally wouldn't even notice. But i've been doing alot of archeology lately, and when you need to mount/dismount about every 5-10 seconds, that really adds up. ^^' Eventually i had to return to just single mount on my archeology alt (and yes, it solves the problem - no lag if mount just casted directly). And it's not a big problem, but i'm just curitous: is it something you are not aware of, something that can't be fixed, or it's just my PC problem and no one else has any lag there? If something, my PC is quite powerful and i run wow on full ultra settings on up to 100 fps and barely even remember what's it like to play with low fps. ^^
I don't see FPS drops on my setup and I'm usually running between 30-50 fps on High graphics. Have you tried isolating it to just Livestock? It does recalculate the mount table each time you mount, but shouldn't affect people on good machines.
Hah! It actually works like a charm now. Last update fixed it *completely* - now there's no lag at all with all of wowhead, wowdb and even those pet addons enabled at same time. :) Thanks, that was really quick and kinda brilliant fix. ^^
PS: I did a quick search for PET_JOURNAL_LIST_UPDATE within all my addon directory - there are indeed matches in most of those addons i found to cause lag, including Wowhead_Looter, WoWDBProfiler, ArkInventoryPetJournal, PetLeash and a few others.
Actually I just had an idea of how to make it much better. The rebuilding of the lists was due to a mount issue with CRZs. I'm not sure if that problem was fixed or not, but I only need to rebuild the mount list, not the pet list. That should eliminate the lag you're seeing. Hopefully have the fix out later tonight.
Just for reference, I've got 188 addons including Altoholic, Ackis Recipe List, PetJournalEnhanced, and WoWHead Looter and I'm not seeing any lag. It's very possible there is a conflict with other Pet Battle addons. They all hook into the same functions and everytime you clear the filters in the Pet Journal it fires off a ton of events. Blame Blizzard for designing a messed up API that doesn't allow access to the unfiltered list. The event that is the problem is PET_JOURNAL_LIST_UPDATE. If you look through those other addons you'll probably see them reacting to that and it fires way too much with the current Pet Journal. Livestock and PetJournalEnchanced don't use that event for exactly this reason.
Hm... i've tried to disable most of non-critical addons, but until now i hadn't a chance to really go all over my loooong addon list. Looks like there is a correlation between this lag and some addons, but it doesn't seems to be related to just one of them. Here's what i found:
Thanks so much for continuing this addon. With 180+ mounts and closing in on 400 pets, Livestock is an addon that I can't deal without.
Have you considered a rating on each mount? I don't how feasible this would be, but if they could rated from 0 to 4 stars (possibly more) it would have an effect of 0 meaning never summon, 1 would mean rarely summon, 2 would be summon normally, 3 would be summon more often and 4 would be reserved for favorite mounts that you want to see the most.
I understand I don't know how feasible this would be to implement, but it would be a very nice addition. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks for adding the support, much appreciated.
Just an idea, not sure if you thought of this already but it could be fun to be able to assign certain mounts to zones. For example, if I am in Winterspring, I might want Livestock to put me on snowy mounts like mammoths and such. Just a thought.
You can assign individual mounts to zones already. Wasn't planning on making whole catergories though.
Hey, any chance of adding support for monk's Zen Flight spell? Such as casting it while moving/falling and summoning your mount/smart mount when not moving with Zen Flight active while flying? Thanks.
Why do I get this message almost everytime I open the pet window after a pet battle?

There are some really obscure bugs in the menu code and I haven't been able to get them all fixed. They seem to be created by Blizzard not fully populating pet lists all the time.
I went through a couple of pages and couldn't find anything relating.
I have to first say I love your mod, and greatly appreciate it!
I have only found 1 bug and it might be me, but in a scenario everything seems to bug (Druid), no mounting, not auto shape shifting, nothing. Everything is still manually able to be done, but with addons like this we get lazy :)
