I use Rematch too, and itI use Rematch too, and it would be all kinds of awesome if the Rematch level up queue could somehow be pulled into WoW-Pro. My first thought was to suggest exactly that, but then I also thought maybe it would be an overkill, since pet battles I think are not the main focus of the addon. The solution Ludovicus mentioned above where you would be able to name level up pets as “Leveling” and then the addon would try choosing from them is a very good compromise and maybe it needs less developer time to implement.
Re: level test built into the codeUrp! That was an omission on my part. Just like the leveling pets are selected to have a certain amount of health before the qualify for a battle, I can add the requirements for the non-leveling pets to be L>24, if no limits are specified.Consider it done for the next update.As for the leveling logic, it scans for all pets that meet the limit test for the leveling pet specification. For Cymre it is H>500U, which means it needs to be able to take 500 Undead damage. It then ranks all pets passing that test and then sorts them according to the sum of health, power and speed and then picks the worst.Oh, and if the pet is named “Leveling” it is supposed to be given preference if it is eligible. But this does not work right now.
Pet BattlesAs to your point 2…I find rematch to be a marvelous addon for the actual teams and strategies. I dont know that we need to reinvent the queue and all of the very nifty concepts incorporated in that addon.
Sorry, I was out of WoW for aSorry, I was out of WoW for a while now, just noticed these pet battle code upgrades. Awesome! 🙂 However I got two questions, after testing the new and improved guide:1) Can we somehow also make a level test built into the code? For example, Cymre has two strategies now. Addon chose first team, because I have all the pets for that strategy. However I was kinda surprised when the battle started and I faced Cymre with a common and an uncommon pet, one of them level 5 and the other level 11. I’m all for Mythic level pet battles, but still that looks like a little bit hardcore. :-)) So can we test for a minimum level of a certain pet before it is “accepted” by the addon logic for a given strategy?2) How does the Leveling logic works? So when you put a pet into a strategy as “Leveling” how does the addon decides which pet to choose? Can the user maybe set-up a desired level up queue, which the addon would check first, before defaulting to its built-in logic?
Success! This code works now:
[code]
function WoWPro.PetLoadTest()
WoWPro.PetLoadAndPick(1, 68662,{1,2,1}) — Chrominius
WoWPro.PetLoadAndPick(2, 66950,{2,1,2}) — Pandaren Water Spirit
WoWPro.PetLoadAndPick(3, 71163,{1,1,2}) — Unborn Val’kyr
end
[/code]
It loads three pets of the given NPC id, and sets their abilities.
So I have all the basic building blocks and the hooks into the API.
Better Pet BattlesLarenon:
Thanks for all the hard work you have put into these guides.
As you note, they don’t auto-complete and could could be better suportted by the addon.
How about this:
[code]
! Brutus/Ruckus|NPC|85561;85655|QID|-85561|
C Iron Starlette/Darkmoon Zepplin|QID|-85561|PET1|Iron Starlette;77221;1+1+1|PET2|Darkmoon Zepplin;85561;1+1+2|PET3|Leveling;;;L>20|STRATEGY|IS/DZ|
C Iron Starlette|QID|-85561|STRATEGY|IS/DZ|N|Brutus:n1: Windupm2: Supercharge (kill Brutus)n3:Windup (and die)|SELECT|PET1|DEAD|PET1|
C Darkmoon Zepplin|QID|-85561|STRATEGY|IS/DZ|N|Rukus:n1: Bombing Runm2: Misslen3:Missle (and die)|SELECT|PET2|DEAD|PET2|
C Leveling Pet|QID|-85561|STRATEGY|IS/DZ|N|Leveling:n1: Best Damagen2: Best Damagen3: Bomb Hits|SELECT|PET3|DEAD|85655|WIN|

…
[/code]
The sequence of events would be as follows:
[list=1]
[*] The ‘!’ step says that if you left click on Brutus or Ruckus, that we pretend quest -85561 is active. the NPC ids for the whole team are listed.
[*] Now that quest -85561 is active, the other lines with |QID|-85561| become live.
[*] The next line tests to see if you have a Iron Starlette and a Darkmoon Zepplin. If you do, it sets them up with the appropriate abilities and then sets the STRATEGY to being “IS/DZ”, activating the next step. If this step is now skipped, then the next PET spec line would be activated, like the Bling Zepplin line.
[*] The next step makes sure PET1 is SELECTed and completes when PET1 is DEAD.
[*] The next step SELECTs PET2 and completes when PET2 is DEAD.
[*] The next step makes sure PET3 is SELECTed and completes when we WIN. If we dont WIN, it resets completion on all steps with this strategy and lets you try again.
[/list]
