PetZone 
Well, decided against implementing LibAsync. Too much trouble for not enough reason. Continue as normal!
Version 3.0! Aside from the requisite code tweaking, I added in a couple new features: Custom Random Lists and an Exclusion list. Both are just like they sound!
Custom Random Lists: You can create a custom list of pets and assign it to a zone or subzone; the game will select randomly from only the pets on that list in that area.
Exclusion List: The exclusion list only affects the -RANDOM- choice; animals placed on this list will never be chosen. Those animals WILL still show up, however, if you assign them specifically to a zone/subzone or if you put them on your own custom random list. Curate your own damn options
I think I've beaten the worst of the "collectible not ready" spam, but if you run other addons that also activate collectibles then there's always a chance it'll pop up. Collectibles have a hidden global cooldown that I can't figure out how to monitor through the API, so it's mostly down to timing. If anyone knows of a better solution, I'm all ears!
And finally, I added an option to hide your pets when sneaking. I got tired of glowing demonic ponies following me around while I was breaking and entering.
This addon requires the libraries LibAddonMenu-2.0 and LibZone.
PetZone: Automatic Vanity Pet Switching By Area!
This is a fairly simple addon that lets you automatically switch vanity pets in different zones and subzones! If you've ever wanted your housecat following you around Rawl'kha, to be replaced by a swamp jelly when you head out into the wilderness, to be switched to a chicken when you enter a dungeon, then this mod is for you.
Features:
-Set a pet for a specific subzone within a zone, for -ALL- subzones within a zone, or for -ALL- zones
-Highest priority goes to your specific subzone choice, then to your entire zone choice, then your all zones choice. If none of those three have choices defined, then you continue with whatever pet you had out already
-Pet choices also include -NONE-, which puts away your pets in that area; -RANDOM-, which summons a random pet; and ~Custom Random Lists, which summons a random pet from a list you specify
-You can choose to automatically hide your pet when you enter combat, join a group, enter a dungeon or delve, or enter stealth
That's about it! All thanks for this mod go directly to Baertram, as I ruthlessly and inexpertly hacked apart their FCO Mounty mod to make it. Seriously! I didn't know any lua when I started this, and a good chunk of the code in here is only slightly modified from Baertram's. I'm mostly considering this addon complete except for filling out the rest of the zone data, but if you think it could use something else then leave a comment and I'll consider it.

 I did work out how to connect multiple ids to one name though! So there aren't 6 entries for different parts of one dungeon. Now it's a matter of slowly finding which ids are mislabeled and rearranging the categories properly. It's gonna be a slog. If you ever need subzone ids for anything, my zonedata file is getting comprehensive. |

 I'd just go with the "main zoneId" as I don't think one would like to have pet1 at the entrance and pet2 at the 2nd lower floor etc. |

Right now, though, my main problem is that quite a few delves have too many different subzone Ids (_base, _room01, _room02, etc) and I don't think anyone is going to want THAT much granular control of their vanity pets I put together a table that associates one subzone name with multiple ids, and I'm trying to use it to assign one pet to multiple ids at once. It's a learning process 0__o |

No, it's fine. Just go on
 I remember there is an addon which does this, near crafting tables: Dolgubons Lazy Writ Creator From my addons I know it's hard to check if you are inside a delve. A dungeon is no problem as there are API functions for it. But a delve can only be determinded via some "guessing functions" like "are we in a group" or "are we on a map where the name of a POI contains delve". You can check my addon WhisList, and check the file functions.lua. I think near the end there is such a check fucntion for dungeon, delve, or public dungeon.

As for dungeons and delves, I know what you mean  But I figure this mod will appeal more to roleplaying types anyway, and I did include a "none" option to put away all pets in a given area. Maybe an option to automatically stow away pets when you enter a dungeon? Or when you join a group? Time to go skim the wiki again.. |

Hi, thanks for making this addon.
One thing for the future: Please ask before just copying other devs work (addons, libraries,... ) It's no big deal for me with this addon (FCOMounty) but it's not the way it should normally go @zoneData for delves and dungeons: Imo pets shouldn't be enabled in dungeons. Delves, well, if you must. But inside dungeons they really annoy other users and do not help (at least non-combat pets) at all. Maybe inside a role-play-only group |
