UI ADDONS FOR WORLD OF WARCRAFT
“I’ve got what you need!”
Greetings! You’ve just found you way to the doorstep of Azeroth’s foremost gadget genius! Using a revolutionary new Goblin technology (I call it “Examell”! Patent pending.), I’ve built a warehouse of amazing gadgets to enhance the productivity of any adventurer. From automated pet minders to combat aids, I’ve got it all!
In these postings you’ll find instructions for how to obtain and use these fantastic inventions; follow the menu to your right detailed info on each item, or look below for the latest updates. (And please don’t mind the unfinished look… the lazy Troll I hired to fix up this place still has some work to do.)

- Fixed an issue where the Filter (availability) menu wouldn’t always work as expected.
- Fixed an issue where the pet family menu would sometimes fail to actually show the selected family.
- Fixed an issue where the HH UI could conflict with the Enchanting window, preventing it from being shown.
- Fixed an issue where a beast with multiple learnable abilities would be listed multiple times in the minimap button tooltip.
- Fixed some issues with positioning the minimap button.
- Fixed some issues related to HH’s cache of known abilities becoming outdated.
- Fixed an error that would occur when using the
/hh reset command. All saved data is cleared and options reset to default when the command is used.
- Dash now correctly shows as learnable by Raptors.
- Updated German localization by Ghanur of EU-Alexstrasza.
- Rebuilt pet skills database from http://petopia.brashendeavors.net as of 2008/05/05.
- KNOWN ISSUE: Classification of abilities by availability doesn’t work as expected in some cases where availability of individual ranks is mixed (e.g. Growl 1 is tameable, Growl 2 is known by the hunter but not the pet, and Growl 3-8 are all well above the hunter’s level).

- WoW Patch 2.4 added the ability to insert quest hyperlinks in chat, but the way this was implemented overrode Levelator’s ability to add levels when inserting quest names in chat. Levelator now makes sure a level tag gets inserted along with the new hyperlink.
- Levelator also now adds a level tag to the tooltips spawned from quest hyperlinks. (Unfortunately, there’s not enough info attached to a hyperlink for us to also show a Group/Heroic/PvP/etc tag.)

- Hunter’s Helper now has a GUI, bringing many new features:
- You can now easily browse pet abilities and find out where to learn them. Choose an ability (and rank, if applicable) in the list and you’ll see which beasts you can tame to learn it, sorted according to where they can be found (with the zones closest to your current location listed first).
- You can also browse/search by zone to see all the beasts with learnable abilities in a given area. (Zones are sorted based on proximity to your current location; i.e. how many other zones you must pass through to reach them.) Choose a beast and you’ll see which abilities can be learned by taming it.
- In both modes, beasts and abilities show additional useful info when available: level, normal/rare/elite status, and diet for the former; required level, description, and training point cost for the latter.
- Both modes also offer several ways to search or filter their data: by typing part of a zone, beast, or ability name; by beast family (e.g. Cat, Boar, Sporebat, etc.); or based on which abilities you already know (or can’t yet learn).
- Show the new Hunter’s Helper panel by typing
/huntershelper or /hh.
- The new Hunter’s Helper UI also serves as an improved replacement for the Beast Training window:
- Open it while you have a pet summoned and it’ll automatically filter to show only those abilities learnable by that pet type.
- The list can be futher filtered based on which abilities your pet already has, which it can be trained with, and which it’s can’t learn yet.
- Choose an ability and the highest rank trainable to your pet will be automatically selected (and unlike the standard Beast Training window, choosing a different rank or ability doesn’t require scrolling an extra-long list).
- Displayed training point costs take into account the points refunded when training a higher rank of an ability your pet already knows, so it’s easier to see which abilities/ranks you can afford.
- Since the new UI replaces the Beast Training window, you can also show it by “casting” Beast Training from your spellbook or action bar.
- The new UI is separate from the main Hunter’s Helper addon and is only loaded when it needs to be shown. (Don’t like the new UI? Disable or delete the Hunter’s Helper UI addon and HH will keep working as it did before.)
- There’s also a new minimap button (off by default; type
/hh button to show/hide it):
- Click it to show the full pet/ability browsing UI.
- If you’re in a zone with beasts you can tame to learn new abilities, the button shows how many such beasts there are; mouse over it to see details in the tooltip.
- Configuration controls are moved into a pane in the new Interface Options panel provided by the default UI.
- Fixed an issue where taming or casting Beast Lore on a creature with learnable abilities would report that Hunter’s Helper didn’t know about them even if it did.
- Updated German localization by “Zara”.
- Slash command feedback text is now localizable. (Translators should look at the top of localization.lua for new keys.)
- Rebuilt pet skills database from http://petopia.brashendeavors.net as of 2008/03/24.

- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 2.4.
- Processing of links seen at the Auction House is now done asynchronously; this avoids locking up the client for long periods of time if another addon requests all the AH listings at once.

March 24th, 2008
- Updated TOC to indicate compatibility with WoW Patch 2.4.
- Reputation levels are now color-coded using a scheme similar to that on Blizzard’s Armory site. (For example, the four levels of Friendly through Exalted are no longer all displayed as the same shade of green.) This change also applies to the default UI’s Reputation panel and other UIs that use its color table.
- Fixed an issue where Argent Dawn and Zandalar tokens were likely to show in the reputation bar tooltip as “Unknown Item #”.
- Configuration controls are moved into a pane in the new Interface Options panel provided by the default UI.
- Updated German localization by “Zara”.

- Added “Unbind Key” buttons to the Options window for removing FOM’s key bindings.
- The
diet argument to the /fom remove command is now optional; if omitted, the specified food will be removed from any and all diets it’s listed in. (e.g. /fom remove [Delicious Chocolate Cake] is now the same as /fom remove bread [Delicious Chocolate Cake].)

December 1st, 2007
- Fixed an error which could occur when talking to questgivers since WoW Patch 2.3.
- Since we show quests’ actual levels in questgivers’ dialog window, we omit the “low level” text added by the Blizzard UI in Patch 2.3 for quests whose level is far below your own. Instead, such quests are listed in a slightly faded color to stand out from the others.
- Note: ‘Blocked action’ errors due to Levelator tainting GetQuestLogTitle should be resolved in the upcoming WoW Patch 2.3.2.
