About RandomPet
Automatically activates a random pet from your inventory of non-combat pets when you login, zone in, land via fp, etc.
Provides a button that can be moved, button can be used to change pets.
Has command line options that can be scripted in macros
RandomPet AUTOMATICALLY recognizes new pets added to the game, no update to client is needed.
IMPORTANT: The latest patch from blizzard introduced a new slash command called RandomPet. If you want to use any of the command line options for my addon, please use the slash command /rndpet. IMPORTANT!
Update for TOC change. If you do not have any pets in the favorites you may get an error on load, it is harmless.
5.0.9 - Turned of some debugging that was showing, removed text that activates when RandomPet gets a pet.
5.0.7 - Fixed pesky bug causing favorites not to display/save properly. Thanks blizzard for changing the pet api underneath me on that one.
5.0.5
Renamed /slash command to /rndpet due to compatibility issue with built in randompet command. Advantages of this addon is the ability to have buttons and see the favorites. Thank You
Fix for TOC
5.0.4
Fixed some options. Added new pet comments. Added new command line options.
/randompet buttonoff
This will cause the GUI to be hidden. This persists between login/logout
/randompet buttonon
This will restore the GUI to normal functionality
/randompet hide
This will hide the GUI, this does not presist. if the GUI is already hidden, it will restore it.
/randompet fav01
This will activate the pet you saved in the top slot
/randompet fav02, fav03 - Activates pets in the middle and bottom slot respectivly
5.0.3
Fixed another small typo. Put in some changes to hopefully stop the weird summoning that occurred in Dragon Soul
5.02
Fixed a type causing an error when trying to use RandomPet in battle.
5.0.1
Added support to NOT bring out pets if in Arena
Added support to NOT bring out pets if in battle
5.0.0
Major rewrite to support MoP.
Now supports favorite Pets.
Now supports enabling/disabling random summoning via interface
Now supports dismissing Pets.
Note- Blizzard has added lots of new pet ids, many of the special pets like Argent Squire have many ids. I have tried to put in all the ids i can find, but i am sure there are IDs i have missed. If a pet comes out and it is a special pet, please dismiss it and note the ID of that pet. Then send that ID to me. Thank You - Tab
Version 4.1.1
Fixes a bug introduced with the 4.3.3 patch.
Version 4.1
No longer randomly selects Guild Page, Heralds, etc
Should no longer take out pets in PVP zones (need testing on this)
If the randompet generated is the same as the current pet, it will re-randomize and select a different pet

I love this addon but is there some way to add functionalty for stealth? I'd kind of annoying to turn off and turn on when im in bg's or trying to get around things that will eat me
satcomer -
Let me see what i can do.
So what would you want? The addon just disabling when you go into stealth and then re-enabling?
or do you need it to dismiss the pet as well?
Thank You
Mostly to disable when in stealth or a blanket disable in bg's either or both, the pet can stay out it stealths with you now so dismissing isnt a problem. But randomly trying to sneak aabout even in PvE and having the addon pull a pet is a bad bad thing lol
I am very sorry, going to test it tonight, i may have accidently left a debug setting on.
Will update later tonight.

It's spamming in the chatbox now comstantly since the update 2 days ago I'm going to revert back to the old version until theres a new build
satcomer,
I am sorry for that - did you try using the quiet option
/rndpet quiet
it should shut up the chatter. I will look to see if there is any other issues this weekend for you.
Thanks
Tab
Great addon but is there a way to turn off the spam?
It spams even when its turned off.
Specially in combat.
Thanks!
Thats a great idea! I will update it to support that.
Thank You
Tab
Seems like a good addon, but is there any way of hiding the buttons? They're huge and I really dont need them on my screen, thanks.
You may have noticed I uploaded an update yesterday (9/9/2012). You can hide the buttons between logins by using the commandline
/randompet buttonoff
To turn it back on again
/randompet buttonon
Even though it is hidden, it will still auto summon pets.
If you just want to hide it for the current session use
/randompet hide
Hope this helps
Tab
Ah I see, sneaky Blizz! Thanks for the update!
Vamp,
Blizard added a slash command called RandomPet which brings out a random pet.
I had to change my slash command to /rndpet in the latest update.
I plan to change the addon name in the near future to solve this issue.
Thanks
Tab
I've only just noticed this message today, so I updated and tried it out. However, using /randompet buttonoff does not work, it just brings out another random pet. In fact, writing /randompet always just gives another pet, regardless of what you write after it.
Currently there is no option to hide them. Note the key word "currently". Thank you for the suggestion, I will add it to my list of features I am working on once wow stabelizes a bit.
All,
I have updated RandomPet to version 5.0.3. One comment I would like to make is that the Blizzard APIs that they introduced for pets in the 5.x patch seems to be rather buggy. I am expecting that they will fix that in the usual post major patch fix. As usual, I will look for comments in this forum and test when they roll out that patch. I expect also some interesting things to happen when MoP ships. I have tested RP on the beta, but the 5.0 release broke a lot of things - so wouldn't be a bit suprise if MoP does the same.
In addition, if you have ideas you would like to see - please let me know. Some ideas I am tossing around are an option screen. The option to turn off RandomPet automatically when you are in a Raid. Just thinking.
Thanks.
