Really, I'm not one to gallivant about the wilderness trying to make friends with beasts... at my size, it's a good way to get eaten! Besides, keeping a full stock of bits & bibbles for your critter can be terrible for your cash flow. But a Hunter friend of mine managed to convince me there'd be good money in outfitting such outdoorsy types, and before I knew it my workbench was cluttered with all sorts of animal-seeking, food-measuring, and pet-minding contraptions.

This gadget couldn't be any simpler to use: point it at a beast you see in the wild, and its zootropic neurowave scanner will analyze the critter's noggin and tell you what, if any, new tricks it can teach you.* Know what you're looking for, but not sure where to look? It'll help with that, too -- I've pre-programmed it with an extensive database on creature behavior (straight from the Encyclopedia Azerothica), easily indexed by skill.

* Not recommended for use by elderly gnolls.

------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION: Put this folder into your World Of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns folder and launch WoW.

USAGE: 
	- When you mouse over a beast in the world, the tooltip will show which abilities a Hunter could learn after taming it. (Or no additional info if the beast doesn't have any known abilities.)
	- If you're currently playing a hunter, the abilities will be colored according to whether you've already learned them: green for abilities you have yet to learn, and gray for those you already know. Hunter's Helper will notice when you learn new abilities and will automatically refresh its index whenever you open the Beast Training window. (If you already know a few abilities, you should open you Beast Training window the first time you play after installing Hunter's Helper.)
	- Need to know where to find new abilities for your pet? Type (for example) '/huntershelper find Bite 6' to get a list of beasts known to have that ability. Results are sorted by zone, with those areas closest to (or most accessible from) your current location first. (The list cuts off after four zones if you look for an ability found on a wide variety of beast types.)
	- Hunter's Helper also notifies you in chat if you tame a beast whose skillset isn't what was expected. Please contact me so I can update Hunter's Helper with corrected information! 

CHAT COMMANDS:
	/huntershelper (or /hh) <command>
where <command> can be any of the following:
	help - Print this list.
	status - Check current settings.
	on|off|onlyhunter - enable/disable display of pet abilities in beast tooltips. (Or enable only for Hunter characters.)
	find <ability> <rank> - Lists in the chat window which beasts have an ability and where they can be found. 

CAVEATS, KNOWN BUGS, ETC.: 
	- Sometimes we fail to parse the chat notification that happens when you learn a new ability from your pet. If you see an ability still showing up green in beast tooltips after you've learned it, just open your Beast Training window and we'll rebuild our list.

VERSION HISTORY

v. 1700.3 - 2005/09/21
- Fixed an error in the listing for which pets can learn Dash.

v. 1700.2 - 2005/09/20
- Added several new entries to our tables, covering both new 1.7 abilites and older ones too. (Many thanks to the contributors at http://www.goodintentionsguild.info/hunters.html!) Also removed some incorrect entries and verified all cross-references.
- Improved detection of new spells being learned (tooltip abilities should now change from green to gray at the correct time without needing to open the Beast Training window).
- Additional flexibility in `/hh find` syntax: using `findall` instead of `find` will show all known beasts instead of stopping after four zones; omitting a rank will still provide useful information for some spells.
- Fixed some table errors regarding new pet abilities from WoW patch 1.7.
- Fixed a syntax error that popped up when taming a beast that had abilities but wasn't listed in our tables. 

v. 1700.1 - 2005/09/13
- Updated TOC for WoW patch 1.7.
- Fixed an error that occured when learning new abilities as a non-Hunter character.
- Minor changes to text coloring in `/hh find` output.
- Cleaned up code shared with other Fizzwidget mods; should no longer produce cryptic error messages if you don't have the latest versions of everything (starting with version 1700.1 of all mods).

v. 1600.5 - 2005/08/27
- Fixed a couple discrepancies in beast/ability tables; Black Mastiff is actually Black Ravager Mastiff, and Worgs are more predominant in Silverpine Forest than in Tirisfal Glades.
- Fixed an error that kept us from figuring out when you learn a new pet ability. 
- Added compatiblity preparing for new pet abilities in 1.7. 
- Added preliminary list of beasts to tame for new 1.7 abilities (thanks to Aderyn of Gorefiend and the contributors to his thread at http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-hunter&t=612427). To minimize possible confusion, these won't show up in 1.6, only on the Test Realms and once patch 1.7 is released.
- Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
- Supports wowguru.com's UI updater utility (and potentially others).

v. 1600.4 - 2005/08/06
- Fixed an error when attempting to notify hunters that we need to scan their Beast Training window.

v. 1600.3 - 2005/08/05
- Added an option `onlyhunter`, allowing you to have beast abilities showing in tooltips while you're playing a hunter but not when you're playing other characters.
- Fixed an issue with `/hh find` returning an error if you don't have a pet  currently with you.
- Now shows useful info for the Growl ability in `/hh find`.

v. 1600.2 - 2005/07/27
- Added beast levels, pet level requirement, and which pet types are unable to learn certain skills to `/hh find` output. 
- Fixed some table data: Magram Packhound is actually Magram Bonepaw.
- Fixed some mangled chat-window output.
- Special thanks to Dsanai of Whisperwind for contributing to above changes.

v. 1600.1 - 2005/07/12
- Updated TOC for UI version 1600.
