Whistle
Hunter pet manager for any DataBroker(LDB) display.
This addon is aimed for hunters, who find it tedious that you always have to use the flyout menu if you want to call a pet, but you don't want to waste 5 key bindings for every single call pet ability.
Use:
- Bind the addon to a key in the default key bindings menu, then use your LDB display addon or the minimap icon to change pets.
- Or you can use it in a macro for example:
/click WhistleFrame /cast [@pet,dead][mod:alt] Revive Pet /cast [pet,mod:ctrl] Mend Pet /cast [pet,mod:shift] Dismiss Pet
Restriction:
- You can not change pets in combat with the addon.
- THE ADDON NEEDS TO BE LOCALIZED TO WORK CORRECTLY
You can help out with localization at: http://www.wowace.com/addons/whistle/localization/

Posted Oct 31, 2010Great addon but it'd be nice if it would not be loaded when logging in classes that cannot use it.
(I cannot use my LDB displayer to do this since i use default for all my classes to keep settings the same.)

Posted Oct 29, 2010No you can not. As far as I know no LDB display offer secure frame handling.

Posted Oct 29, 2010Do you have to bind the addon to a key? Can't you just summon from a menu if you have an LDB display addon like TitanPanel?

Posted Oct 17, 2010I'm using NPCScan also without a problem.
Everyone has their proper name on the list!

Posted Oct 17, 2010I found that when using both Whistle and NPCScan, the pet names all show up as empty slots (Pet Slot 1, etc). The addon still works, and summons whatever pet is in that slot. I'm also not getting any UI errors. Very handy addon, by the way. Thanks!

Posted Oct 17, 2010This is great!
I should have posted my actual macro in the first place but I just took the "Click whistleframe" and made mine work. If you're curious. (This is bound to shift 4 for me)
If pet dead then Revive. If right click and exist then dismiss. If right click and no exist then Revive. Otherwise, use amazing Mod to summon pet and Mend Pet everything else.
Thank you so much, This just made life awesome again.

Posted Oct 17, 2010I updated the description with an example of how to use it in a macro and get kind of the effect you described. Let me know if this is what you wanted.

Posted Oct 15, 2010Any way to make this work in a macro? For example: My old macro is something like this /cast [nopet] Call Pet /cast [@pet,dead][mod:shift] Revive Pet /cast [pet,nomod,button:1] Mend Pet /cast [pet,nomod,button:2] Dismiss Pet
This no longer works because the Call Pet spell has to have a 1-5 on it (As you know since you made this awesome addon. :P ) and that's annoying when constantly changing roles.
I'd love to just change the "/cast [nopet] Call Pet" to something like "/run [nopet] Whistle" or whatever macro commands would make that function. With the help of your addon I'm now using 2 buttons to do the same thing that one did before but at least it's easier than using the Call Pet flyout.
I've been trolling the .com UI & Macro forums for days with no help. Is this even possible with your current coding?
As an example, the Mountiful mod makes a macro you put on your action bar instead of assigning a keybind to the addon.

Posted Oct 14, 2010The current R1.2 is not packaged correctly.
The ZIP has LibDBIcon-1.0.lua in the following odd folder path that isn't reflected in the TOC: \DBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0.lua. The folder path should be as noted in the TOC: \LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0.lua.
CallbackHandler-1.0 is also packaged one folder deeper than listed in the TOC.

Posted Sep 29, 2010I'm using Fortress-1.14. Don't you get the Minimap icon even without an LDB display?
