I'm so glad that you are developing this idea! I was a long time necrosis user, but I hate using addons that are that far out of date. In any case, thank you for all of your work. Now, for the question/request/idea: I have a menagerie of small pets and would love to have a randomizer--like the mount has--for them, speech script optional. Sorry if this is a redundant request--I didn't see anything in the forums so far about small pets using the google search. Thank you again scaredofspiders

I'm looking into a way to do this. With WOW 2.3, Blizzard changed a lot of item classifications and ... pets ... I think ... were also affected. If this is the case, I can look up all pets with relative ease. If not, I will have to figure out a smart way of finding all of them, without manually looking for item IDs or names. That method is HORRIBLE when Blizzard releases new pets, since I have to add them But, if I can programmatically find them, LS can function with any pet, including new ones introduced, without the need for an update (best case scenario =)

You know, it occurred to me as I commented on another seemingly abandoned thread that I had never replied to you on this! Shameful. Here, I now reply, simple as it is.. I look forward to walking about with my random menagerie. Something I've dreamed about is that I'd like to automatically summon a small pet upon getting off of a flying mount, or a zone is crossed..or whenever one of the little buggers despawns. From what I understand, an event like that can't be triggered unless a button is pressed, though. I guess I'll have to continue dreaming?

Moon (if you have time.. hah!) .. it looks as if the minipet_addon probably lists all of the minipets available in the game in the coding. I only know this by the phrasing the current updater used. If you do implement the minipet button (( oh please oh please oh please ) possibly with speech? ... maybe warcraftpets.com could be notified that you have an addon far superior to theirs, and maybe they want to have LS listed as well. And maybe have the minipet button flash on situations that are guaranteed to despawn the minipet. Dead horse? I think not.

It appears that the auction house lists small pets in their own catagory. I believe that Blizzard expanded the "Misc" type of item classification to have a few more sub catagories. It used to be just "Junk" in the catagory, so it would be like this: Misc Now it's Misc - Junk
- Pets
- Something else
- Another type
So, with that idea, all small pets SHOULD have a "pet" subclass and analyzing an item and finding that "pet" subclass will let me auto-find all of them, or at least 95% of them, much like how I find water and potions right now. The exception will be "special special" pets, much like special water or food that I have to add manually. Blizzard pretty much made my life easier. ... I was originally going to keep this a secret and just make the button type available like a NINJA ... but I figure that will the amount of time I've been without WOW and without a good coding situation ... I should give everyone a treat or two to keep (some) people drooling =) Oh, my computer arrived today. Still don't have a monitor, but the machine itself looks awesome. It ... it ... it made my day *tear* ;D
