I noticed the same thing as Lionis, also if I try to use the regular feed spell (which I sometimes do if I’ve crashed or not updated my food lists recently) I get an error message. It sometimes will pick food from a larger stack instead of a smaller stack of the same level food. Other than that I love this addon.

Been posting about the continual error this mod produces ever since v3.0.4 was released on WoWInterface. Since there have been no updates to the mod in 3 months, posting about it here. If you want to check out the WoWInterface comments page for your mod, you’ll find information I’ve posted about the error (latest test today).

Look forward to seeing this updated some day to finally work without errors.

Quoting my posts on WoWInterface: “Feed-O-Matic 3.0.4, disembedded updated libraries (LibPeriodicTable-3.1 r30), USEng client/server, WoW 3.0.2 live.

Identical error here the first time feeding in a session with a mid-level hunter. Happens whether using a keybind or feeding manually using the Blizzard “Feed Pet” icon. The difference from the above person: happens when feeding an old school pet (Turtle) with either of two old school foods (Filet of Redgill or Spotted Yellowtail). Error recorded with the BugSack/BugGrabber mods:

LibPeriodicTable-3.1-90006:345: Invalid arg1: item must be a number or item link\nLibPeriodicTable-3.1-90006:345: in function ItemSearch'\nGFW_FeedOMatic-3.0.4\\FeedOMatic.lua:743: in functionFOM_RandomEmote’\nGFW_FeedOMatic-3.0.4\\FeedOMatic.lua:355: in function `FOM_OnEvent’\n:\”:OnEvent\”:1: in function <[string \":OnEvent\"]:1>

Happens once during a session. Pre-WoW 3.x, never had this error occur.”

“The below error is still occurring every single session (sometimes twice per session) with the Hunter with v3.0.4 in WoW 3.0.3 (new patch). Have tried embedding the updated LibPeriodicTable library instead of having it standalone, no difference.

Have disabled it now & switched to FeedIt, which works properly with no errors. It also uses LibPeriodicTable food lists.

Look forward to seeing Feed-O-Matic fixed; its additional features are terrific.”

“Decided to try Feed-O-Matic again. I missed the additional abilities this has compared with other feeding mods.

But…its still bugged as of WoW 3.0.8a live. Using the very latest LibPeriodicTable-3.1 (r141_release as of Jan. 30/09 from wowace.com/projects), the following error still occurs on every single session tested in. As it has since v3.0.4 was released:

LibPeriodicTable-3.1-90006:345: Invalid arg1: item must be a number or item link\nLibPeriodicTable-3.1-90006:345: in function ItemSearch'\nGFW_FeedOMatic-3.0.4\\FeedOMatic.lua:743: in functionFOM_RandomEmote’\nGFW_FeedOMatic-3.0.4\\FeedOMatic.lua:355: in function `FOM_OnEvent’\n:\”:OnEvent\”:1: in function <[string \":OnEvent\"]:1>

No other mod I run (and I run & test plenty) has issues in combination with LibPeriodicTable.

Would be nice to see Feed-O-Matic finally updated to work properly with the LibPeriodicTable libraries/WotLK foods some day.”

Sounds like an X-Perl problem, sorry.

Food issues:

FOM 3.0.4 includes just about all the known foods from Wrath content — if it’s not using them, there’s a problem. Tracking down these problems has proven difficult… if you’re having these problems and would like to help see them fixed, please provide additional information:

1. When you have the foods you want fed to your pet in your inventory, do they show up in the Food Preferences pane (under Feed-O-Matic in the Interface Options window)?

1a. If yes, do they show up in the main list in that window? (If they show up only in the “cooking products” column, that means we’ve identified them as things that can be produced from cooking a basic food, but not as food themselves.)

1. If no, are you sure you have the current version (3.0.4) of Feed-O-Matic installed? Is it a “clean” install (if you upgraded from a previous version, did you delete the old version before replacing it with the new)?

2. Do the foods show up if you disable all other addons? If so, start re-enabling other addons one by one until the problem comes back. Which addon(s) are conflicting?

3. If the foods show up in the Food Preferences window but FOM isn’t actually using them (or isn’t following the priority order it should), which foods are they, which other foods are in your inventory, and what kind of pet are you using?

I love this addon; any help will really be appreciated.

• For example, on Crunchy Spider Leg it will tell me my cat likes to eat it, but for Crunchy Spider Surprise it doesn’t say anything.

Hope that helps

Feed-O-Matic fails to identify boiled clams as a legitimate food for my kitty. It shows up on the right side of the food preferences window (the “cooking products” area), but it seems no matter what I try I can’t get FOM to ID ‘em as a yummysnack for kitty.

I’m using the current version of FOM, and the issue is unchanged when I disable all other addons.

Thanks for the wonderful addon, and let me know if I can provide any additional info.

On my priority list, I’m displaying only the foods that my gorilla will eat and that I have on me. At this moment, I have Conjured Mana Strudels, and Telaari Grapes. My gorilla will eat conjured stuff, so the Mana Strudel shows higher on the list, but if they’re both checked, the tooltip on my pet’s happiness shows he’ll eat grapes. Only when I uncheck the grapes do I get my pet to eat the Strudels.

So, during times when I have conjured foods, I’m having to toggle out the lower stuff.

Either way, great addon, I still love it a lot! Keep up the good work, I’ll certainly keep updating!

Some of my favorite addons ever, btw. Thanks!
