This guide explains how to use Pet Battle Scripts together with Rematch

If you want to learn how to write TD Scripts you can click this link with instructions for it: Writing Pet Battle Scripts.

1. Required AddOns

⇨ Rematch
⇨ Pet Battle Scripts

Also you'll need a source from which you can get strings and scripts prompt and easy.
Fortunately this site is just the right one for that task.
Every strategy automatically offers a Rematch String and those that are marked with the respective Tag also provide a Script.
Hint: when a strategy doesn't include a script on its own there is a good chance somebody in the comments is sharing one.

2. Importing Rematch Strings

1. Open the Pet Journal ingame. On the right edge you'll see one or multiple tabs (which you can edit). Now right click on the tab in that you want to import a certain team.
2. Now left click on "Import Teams".
3. A window will open in which you can insert a Rematch String.

3. Obtaining a Rematch String from Xu-Fu

1. Go to the desired strategy on http://wow-petguide.com/.
2. Now left click on the button "Rematch String".
3. Act as described above and then import the already saved string in the open window.
4. Click "Save".

4. Importing Pet Battle Scripts

1. Right click on the saved team ingame.
2. Left click on "Write script".
3. A window opens to either write or insert a script.

5. Obtaining scripts from Xu-Fu

1. Go to the desired strategy on http://wow-petguide.com/.
2. Now left click on the button "Script".
3. Act as described above and then import the already saved script in the open window.
4. Click "Save".

That's it!

When you face the corresponding encounter Rematch will now automatically (depending on your settings) load the right team and will also enable you to press just one button (by default A) to play every turn.

As stated in the comments below, it isn't possible because of how the addons function/interact.

I believe it should, I just have no idea what file you'd need to copy over since I've never done it myself. I feel like the WTF folder is mentioned the most, though?

I used to be able to have the script open when in a pet battle so that I could just follow along. No matter what I try now though, whenever I start battle, the script disappears and I have to keep going back to the webpage to follow along there. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I doing something wrong? I have up to date versions of both addons

Is it intentional that I have to click the Autobattle button (or A key) every single turn? Maybe some limitation that Blizzard forced on the developers so that people can't pet battle without being at the computer for the entire thing?

I was hoping the addon would run the entire battle for me, start to finish, and I could watch or read something else while that was happening. It would make power leveling more eenjoyable (especially the Squirt battle).

Hey! That is indeed a limitation by Blizzard. Their anti-botting philosophy is that every ingame action requires a player input. The addon is (still?) allowed to take over which action is being done, but it can't work around needing a keyboard press for each of them.

What you can do is bind the action key somewhere else, like your mousewheel, and just spin it. As close to automating as it gets :D

I was having problem with the scripts too.

I downgraded Rematch to version 4.15.4 and using tdBatleScript with v. 1.9.1. It is now functioning again!!!

I have copied the suggested script for the fight from this site and everything looks fine, but when I go into the battle, the Autobattle button is still grey. Does anyone have any ideas, please?

We are talking about Auto button. If the Auto button is working for you could you please post the addon versions you are using. Everyone posting here is not saying that Rematch and Pet Battle script are not working, we are saying the AUTO BUTTON does not work. Rematch is fine and the script displays fine so we can do it manually. The issue is the AUTO BUTTON not working. (edited)

Mine was v4.14.13 and v1.5 as well. Assume that you still need to press a key to push the "auto" button instead of let the addon play everything for you, correct?

I see this topic has not been updated in months but for anyone having this issue...
The addons alone do not make the auto button work. You must create a team and then add the script to that team. Then load the team when you do the fight and then it should work. You have to pick a team that you have the pets for as well so you may have to collect and level up many pets to have options for every battle.
There is more info on this site about building teams and adding the scripts for each specific pet battle and it helps a lot if you log into your battle.net account and it sees your pets and it can suggest the best for you.

I'm aware of how it works, It used to work for me and now it does not since Dragonflight. I have teams imported for every expansion and have been using rematch and battle scripts for years. There must be a conflict with another addon because no matter what I do, the auto button will not work. I have just been doing the fights by hand.

Be sure to remove the old "tdBattlePetScript_Rematch" addon folder, as the new "Pet Battle Scripts" addon uses only the tdBattlePetScript folder.

I noticed a few months ago that if you attempt to just install the new addon over the old one, the old code in the "tdBattlePetScript_Rematch" folder will remain and you'll end up with strange conflicts. I don't know if the old Rematch showed up as a separate addon that can be disabled, so I'd say it'd be best to remove it to be sure it doesn't load.

To those who are trying to transfer all of your tdscripts from one computer to another, here is the way that worked 100% for me. We will reference Computer A as the computer with the scripts and Computer B as the computer we're trying to transfer the scripts to. I would like to mention that simply copying the tdBattlePetScript, tdBattlePetScript_Rematch and Rematch folders from your WoW/_retail_/Interface/AddOns folder from Computer A to Computer B does not always work. Try it and if it works for you, then congratulations! If not, continue reading.

Assuming your UI is the stock UI from the Rematch addon, open WoW and when you are in game, press the SHIFT + P buttons to open your Pet Journal. On the right-hand side of your teams should be the icons for each of your teams (there will be the teams that show the three pets within the team and we’re looking just to the right of that – the team tabs on the far right of the pet journal). Right-click the tab and an options menu will come up – it should give options like “Edit Tab, Custom Sort, Sort By Wins, Leveling Preferences, etc.” Left-click the “Export Tab” option, which will bring up the string that you’ll use later on to import everything into Computer B.

Open a Word or notepad document, copy (CTRL + C) the string in game and paste (CTRL + V) to the document (CTRL + V). Save that document to a thumb drive or SD card - I labeled mine “Pet Strings” to make it easy on myself. You’re done with Computer A. On Computer B, insert your thumb drive or SD card, and open the document with your string. Copy (CTRL + C) the entire string. With WoW open and being in game, press the SHIFT + P buttons to open your Pet Journal. On the right-hand side of your teams (which should be empty), there will be a “+” tab. Click it. Choose your icon and name for the tab (at this point it doesn’t matter – we’ll get into naming it later,” then click “Save.” On the tab you just created, right-click the tab and select the “Import Teams” option, then paste (CTRL + V) your string, then click “Save.” Almost done! Lastly, we want to change the name of the tab, so right-click the same tab once again, and click “Edit Tab,” then name it whatever you like, then click “Save.”

You’re done! You can do this method with all teams you may have saved.

Now for the kicker - if you had written any scripts for any of your teams, unfortunately those do not transfer over and will need to either be manually written again or you can simply find the the appropriate script needed here on Xu-Fu's Pet Battle Strategies.

I hope this helps everyone! I love you all.

Copy the tdBattlePetScript, tdBattlePetScript_Rematch and Rematch folders from your WoW/_retail_/Interface/AddOns folder from the laptop to your desktop. Make sure WoW is not running when you do this.

File path may vary depending on OS and if you've logged into more than one WoW/Blizz account on that machine. (edited)

Strike that: most of the scripts copied ok. Some did not, but I may not have them in the 1st place ;)

Too bad: I have 5 dungeons scripts to re-create ;( (edited)

In case anyone was struggling to figure this out, "a" (for auto) can be used to activate the next step of the script instead of clicking on it with a mouse. The "A" on the auto button looked like a ^ to me, not an A. Took me few days to figure that out.

Only then could I right-click the team to get the correct menu with Write Script on it.

This is maybe a stupid clarification but you need to do BOTH the imports - I thought initially it was just two different options but one is to import the team and one is to import the actual moves that let you auto. I don't know why I couldnt figure this out but that's what confused me and why my Auto button was greyed out at first

I have followed the guide as well, I can pull up the window with the strategy (Before I start a fight). The "V" window, when it comes up, shows all four possible sources (Grayed out but usable) but when I open a window for any of them it is empty. I have never had the Auto or "A" button lit up for use. It is always grayed out and disabled.

Not sure what to do to fix. Looked all the places I can think of online.

On Discord, Super posted this a few hours ago:

Temporary Fix for TD Battle Pet Script Addon
1. Download link below
2. Find tdBattlePetScript in your addons folder, delete everything in it
3. Drag everything from the zip into the tdBattlePetScript folder
4. Do a /reload ingame
https://github.com/DengSir/tdBattlePetScript/archive/shadowlands.zip
I will be trying to get this onto Curse ASAP!

I don't know what it's a fix for, exactly, but it might be an improvement on whatever you've got.

MAYbe.

You will have a directory

World of Warcraft_retail_WTFAccount999999999#1SavedVariables

(where 99999999 will be some number unique to you)

That is where your addons store their data.

If you just delete your addon, your data will be there when you reinstall your addon.

If you deleted your WTF folder without taking a backup when you were trying to fix your problem, that doesn't help you, but if you moved or renamed it instead, as Blizzard recommend, the files you need should be in that copy.

The files you will want will be Rematch.lua and tdScript.lua

Even if you don't find those, you might find Rematch.lua.bak and tdScript.lua.bak somewhere, and those should be the last ones you had before your last .lua files. (edited)

The rematch auto button is not showing up for me. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known bug? I'm in Gnomeregon dungeon. I realize now that I didn't write the TD script. I only imported the team. Now, the issue I have, when I right click the team there is no option to write script. (edited)

Hello, i seem to have a problem with, I suppose, TD script. My action button to use this script is greyed, and i cannot use it. I stricltly followed the guide, first imported Rematch string and team, then imported the TD string, there is the button, with "A" on it - every fight, but it is grey and non-usable. Could other addons interact badly with Rematch and TD? I also use PetTracker and Pet Journal Enhanced. Thank you for any advice.

I know they have Rematch working in Shadowlands Beta, but anyone know if they are going to work on this working too? Need testers? I am willing to help, but it's not working at all at the moment.

It's 2020 now and I'm suffering from the same problem. I deviate between a couple different computers and when I exported all my teams, none of the scripts came with them.

Update: I did the same thing again the next day and most of the scripts transferred but not all of them. Strange... (edited)

Hello. Thank you so much for all of the information gathered here. I'm grateful ! I'm having an issue copying /pasting the Rematch String. I've been doing this for years so I'm familiar with the process...however, when I try to paste it simply says "placeholder" the string does not paste into the import box. Am I doing something wrong ?

First and foremost, Thanks for this amazing addon.
Recently (past 2 days) I've been facing an issue I never encounter before.
While exporting a team with the rematch string button, then importing it in Rematch, the team that appears in Rematch is different from the one selected.
Did reinstall Rematch, both TdPet Battle, removed all WTF data prior to that, reset browser (Opera, Chrome...), and still facing same problem.
Not sure if one of other addon did broke something or a wow patch did a mess ?

Anyone else facing this ?

Ex. Importing Pearlhusk Crawler first strat
Baa'l 1 2 *
Mechanical Pandaren * * 1
Chrominius * 1 2

become

Baa'l 1 2 * Correct
Rebuilt Mechanical Spider * * 1 Error
Chrominius * 1 2 Correct

It seems it bugs when there is substitute pet available in the strat.
Also when using right / left arrow to visualize the substitute, no pet picture changing

String imported is :
Pearlhusk Crawler:4N92:120029G:00102G5:0120140:N:Strategy added by SpruceOPnQuick strat. Chrominius is used as insurance. nnTurn 1: Murder the InnocentnTurn 2: ShadowflamenTurn 3: ShadowflamenTurn 4: ShadowflamenTurn 5: Murder the InnocentnTurn 6: ShadowflamenTurn 7: PassnBring in your Mechanical Pandaren DragonlingnTurn 1: Exploden

No idea how to check what pets ( I suppose) are behind 4N92:120029G:00102G5:0120140:N (edited)

Where do rematch and TD scripts get saved in the addon folders? my PC occasionally wipes all my in game settings and it wipes my saved teams as well - so wondering how i can try to make a backup

Your Rematch settings and teams are saved in a file rematch.lua in

World of Warcraft_retail_WTFAccount999999999#1SavedVariables

where "9999999999" will be a different number for you.

If your WoW crashes, it can overwrite your settings files. However, there is usually a file Rematch.lua.bak saved as a backup in that directory, just in case. Renaming that to Rematch.lua will bring your teams back, if it hasn't been overwritten by you saving over it after the crash.

However, you can also export your Teams from Rematch to a plain-text file and mail that to yourself. You can then Import some or all of those again if necessary. Open Rematch, open your Teams tab, and right-click on the Teams button on the top right-hand side. Backup All teams will create a single file of everything for you to copy.

I would not use tdScript myself, so I don't know about that, but I suspect it has a similarly named file in the same directoy. (edited)

Easiest way is to just copy/back up your WTF folder periodically. This serves multiple purposes at once.

Once you've imported the Rematch script and have the team saved, you need to also import the TD script (steps 4 and 5 on this page) to allow for automation. The Rematch string imports the team, and the TD script does the automation.
