Description

Creature Comforts combines Call Pet, Dismiss Pet, Feed Pet, Mend Pet, and Revive Pet into a single smart button. It works by updating a macro to use the right ability at any given time.

Out of combat, Creature Comforts will revive your pet if it’s dead, call your pet if it’s unsummoned, dismiss your pet if you’re holding the Ctrl key, mend your pet if its health is low (or it has a debuff you can dispel with the Improved Mend Pet talent), or feed your pet if it’s unhappy or content.

In combat, Creature Comforts will call your pet if it’s unsummoned, revive your pet if it’s dead, dismiss your pet if you’re holding the Ctrl key, or mend your pet otherwise. Due to Blizzard’s restrictions on editing macros while in combat, if your pet is dead but has despawned, you’ll need to hold the Shift key to tell the macro to revive it.

Important Notice

2010/12/18 — I am looking for someone to permanently take over Creature Comforts. If you have experience developing and maintaining WoW addons, actively use Creature Comforts, and are interested in adopting it, send me a PM.

I no longer play my hunter, do not maintain the subscription on the account my hunter is on, and do not have access to anyone else’s hunter for testing. This addon is essentially unsupported. Any future updates will be untested and based solely on patches provided by users.

Usage

Options are available in the Interface Options window. You can type “/cc” or “/creaturecomforts” to open the window directly to the Creature Comforts panel.

The first time you run Creature Comforts, you’ll need to create the macro it will manage. You can do this from the configuration panel (press the “Create Macro” button) or from the Blizzard macro window (create a character-specific macro named “AutoPet”).

Localization

Creature Comforts is compatible with English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 正體中文 game clients.

Creature Comforts is translated into English, Español, and 简体中文.

To add or update translations, please use the localization system and then send me a PM to let me know you've made changes. Thanks!

Credits

Creature Comforts is based heavily on Tekkub’s Buffet, and indeed began as a simple modification of Buffet to feed my pet instead of myself. I was also inspired by Gazmik’s Fizzwidget Feed-O-Matic, Nirek’s FeedMachine (which in turn is based on Beerke’s King of the Jungle), and Tekkub’s FuzzyLogic. After trying all of these addons, I set out to combine their essential features into a single, transparent, easy-to-use, no-assembly-required package.
