Huntmaster - Hunter Pet Codex, DeadZone & Combat Utilities

v1.2.5 - Settings redesign, Threat meter and fixes (2026-11-14)

Settings panel

• Settings rebuilt with one short page per topic. The page list now hangs under "Settings" in the main left sidebar: click Settings to fold/unfold it (+ / -), and each group (Ammo, Companion, HUD, General) opens its own pages with + / -. Ammo: Counter & Alert, NPC & Auto Buy. Companion: Pet Icon, Rare Scanner. HUD: Threat Meter, Summon Hawk, Dead Zone. General: Sound, General. One group is open at a time; the last page and group you used are remembered. The settings window itself no longer has a second menu column, so pages get the full width.
• New compact controls: toggle switches, sliders with a live value readout, dropdowns, number boxes, flat buttons, thin dividers and a slim scrollbar. Same saved settings as before; nothing is reset.
• Minimap Icon and NPC Tooltips moved from the old header to Settings > General. New file UI/kit.lua.
• All panels now share one lighter background, the same tone as the left sidebar.

Threat meter

• Included in this patch: compact text-only percentage (green to yellow to red), preview and diagnostics (/hm threat test, /hm threat status, /hm threat reset).
• Fixed the meter never being created ("Font not set" error), so it now actually appears.

Ammo

• Fixed the ammo icon and count not showing (same "Font not set" error). Icon text stays inside the icon; counts abbreviate to 1k / 1.1k.

• Auto-buy fixed: on this client the old vendor function GetMerchantItemInfo does not exist, so vendor items were never read and nothing was bought (and /hm autobuy debug listed no vendor items). Vendor data now comes from C_MerchantFrame and item data from C_Item.GetItemInfo when the old globals are missing. Also: ammo type is recognised from the ranged weapon, equipped ammo or quiver/pouch; the vendor list is re-checked if it loads late; and you always get a chat message when an ammo vendor cannot be used (with the reason) and a "Bought N x ..." summary when it stops. /hm autobuy status and /hm autobuy debug show what it sees.

• Auto-buy only runs from level 10 (new characters never spend gold on ammo; /hm autobuy refill still works manually) and is much faster: purchases are confirmed by the bag-update event instead of fixed waits, so each bundle follows the previous one as soon as the server answers.

• Auto-buy now asks first: a confirmation window shows how much ammo it will buy and the total price, and nothing is bought until you press Buy (Settings > Ammo > NPC & Auto Buy > "Ask before buying").

• Auto-buy only buys ammo of your level tier (levels 1 / 10 / 25 / 40 / 55 / 61 / 68). At level 40 with no Jagged Arrow on the vendor, it buys nothing and tells you the best ammo offered (toggle: "Only buy ammo for my level").

Pet Codex and Pet Families

• Added 65 community-discovered tameable beasts that were missing (new zones such as Zephras Isle, Riverglades, Mount Hyjal, Shen'dralas), marked NEW. Beasts already in the addon were left untouched.
• A second community export added 13 more beasts and 58 ability links.
• Added the ability ranks the community found, plus four new abilities: Web, Mine!, Pinch and Tendon Rip.

Ammo counter and reminder

• The low-ammo warning and the reminder bar now live inside the Ammo Counter page of Settings (one page: Counter & Alert).
• The ammo icon now moves freely: it stays exactly where you drop it instead of snapping to a position.
• Fixed the reminder bar coming back after being turned off: switching it off now hides it and clears its pending state, and it can no longer be shown while off (only the Test button).

Export discoveries

• The sidebar button text shrinks to fit and can no longer spill outside the box; the export window keeps long lines inside the frame.
