by: joshfong [More]
Too many vanity pets and not sure which to use? Let this addon pick a random one for you!

Find any bugs or want something tweaked? Want to contribute a translation? Contact me in-game (@joshfong, PC-NA) or message me on this site.

- General housekeeping.

been trying to install manually , what folder name did you use ?

I tried RandomVanityPet but it still throws errors
I couldn't get it to work either but it seems that there is another addon that covers this one's functionality https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...ount.html#info

Minion Bug + Request

Hello, thanks for your work. I installed to try it but ended up uninstalling for the time being:

This addon doesn't work when installed using Minion; it doesn't package the all of the files correctly in a folder, as someone else mentioned earlier. ".git" file seems to be missing also; unsure.

I like that this has a couple of options for when pets are randomized (login, load screen) that are less frequent than those offered by other pet randomizing addons.

For example, the original Random Mount addon (IIRC) had an option to switch on zone. But what I considered a "zone" as a user ended was different from what the game considers a "zone"; pets switched out much too frequently. Say I was traveling in the lower half of Auridon: the pet would change several times in the open world.

However, I'm missing some utilities of those other addons:
1. that mounts and pets were combined into a single addon
2. options (checkboxes) to select which pets and mounts you actually want to use, so you can leave some out so that only your favorites are selected.

Thumbs up You are awesome!

Thank you! I just want to thank you for this and the random mount because I love showing off my mounts and little pets but I always forget to change them. This is a great start and just wanted to let you know that you totally made ESO a lot more fun and cute as well.

great addon tho, definitely will download the mounts one when it comes out.

(could you set a button to randomize pets/mounts on the collections screen? It would be awesome for me.)
That's definitely odd, I will be giving that a glance and see if there's a better way to do it. For what it's worth, I've also been getting a few that pop up more than usual, but every once in a while there'll be one that surprises me. Still -- I'll take a look!

For the frequency option, if you haven't done so you need to reload your UI. At least initially, if you've logged out and then back in you shouldn't have that issue. If that's still the case, I'll investigate.

I'll look into adding that button. For what it's worth though, I am planning to add a slash command (probably just "/randompet") in the near future.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I was looking for something like the Pimp My Ride addon, which was great, but the author have retired. Could you check it out and see if you can do something like it? (Randomizing costumes, mounts, pets, and other vanity items) That would be very much appreciated. The whole community is mourning from the loss of this addon and it seems you are going in this direction anyways.

I have heard of that one! It's cool for sure, but I wanted to try and not rip off that. Maybe draw on it for inspiration, but not directly copy. However, if there's enough demand for something similar, I can certainly look into it.

As for the "not selecting from all pets" issue, I believe I have a fix ready to go and I will push it live tomorrow.
It's not a ripoff if the original author retired and asked someone to take the mantle. *wink* *wink*

Update: I got these strings implemented in the current version of the addon. I did add some strings a couple of patches ago (and have at least one in the pipeline), though; would you be willing to translate those for me?

Lua Code:
  1. "Frequency",
  2. "Needs UI reload.",
  3. "Reload UI",
  4. "Never",

Thanks again for the original translation.

Thank you so much! I appreciate translations, as English is my only language. I'll get this added in the next incremental!
