Displays information on your pet, such as name, level, combat ratings and attributes.
Use
PetInfoFu keeps track of your pets, including your stabled pets. Optionally, it will track your history of taming pets. Clicking on the FuBar menu, which displays your pet's happiness in colour, will bring up the training dialog. Should you have Cartographer installed, PetInfoFu can keep track of the stables for you.
For hunters, you can click on a stabled pet in the FuBar tooltip and a small tooltip will pop-up showing you the skills of that particular pet. You will need to visit the Stable and park your pet there, then close the stable for the extended information to be saved (and shown in the tooltip)
Clicking on the line Experience needed will pop-up a little draggable tooltip showing information pertaining your chose way of Show experience to level.

Pet History
The Pet History will, of course, show incorrect information for long term pets. If you want to correct this you can edit the SavedVariables file in your WTF folder. If you open the FuBar_PetInfoFu.lua file with something like Notepad you need to look for the section ["petHistory"].
Here you'll find one or more sections like this:
Code:
["Wind Serpent|Lazuli"] = {
["PetType"] = "Wind Serpent",
["PetLevel"] = 21,
["HunterLevel"] = 42,
["PetName"] = "Lazuli",
},
You can set the ["PetLevel"] variable to the level your pet was when you tamed her. In Lazuli's case: 21. You can set the ["HunterLevel"] variable to the level you were when you tamed her. In Lazuli's case: 42.
If you want to add older pets, that are no longer with you, you can add a section like the above, be careful of the commas, and edit that.
The first bit (the key) should be a combination of the pet type and it's name. The values for ["PetType"] (Cat, Wolf, etc.) and ["PetName"] should be set appropriately. So, adding:
Code:
["Owl|Nightshade"] = {
["PetType"] = "Owl",
["PetLevel"] = 8,
["HunterLevel"] = 10,
["PetName"] = "Nightwind",
},
would add a level 8 Owl called Nightwind, which you tamed when you were level 10.
If you are unsure of what you are doing, please make a back up of this file first. If you get an error when you load your hunter, you can replace the file with the original again.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
