Mounted
Brand new complete rewrite of Mounted is available as alpha
- Complete redo of Mounted
- profile based priorities
- mounts can be grouped
- macros sytem has been simplified (only 2 tags <primary>, <secondary>)
- Fancy new interface which attaches itself to the Mount Journal page blizzard provides
Mounted is patched for 4.0
with the mount changes in 4.0 Mounted is due for another rewrite until then Mounted will work just like before (but since mount speeds now scale with skill they have all been set to max Mounted 3 will remove the speed selection options all together)
Please report any bugs to the ticket tracker here
Warning in order for Mounted to work properly in your local the following strings need to be translated at the very least.
- L["SpeedFast"] = "extremely%s+fast" -< unique phrase found only in extremely fast mounts (310% flying)
- L["SpeedMedium"] = "very%s+fast" -< unique phrase found only in fast mounts (100% ground or 280% flying)
- Translations may be submitted here.
With the coming of WoW 3.0 we may now have as many mounts as we want since we learn them and do not have to carry them in you bags.
Thus my dilemma which mount shall i use and how can i chose them easily out of the mess of mounts found in the mounts tab.
Out of this Mounted was born. Instead of mucking about with secure code and make buttons that have to be skinned and carefully placed in your UI i instead chose to utilize the macro functions. Thus enabling you to simply use any actionbar mod.
So what does mounted actually do for you?
- It will create a macro called Mounted in your global macro space this way you only use one slot and not one per character.
- It will scan through all your mounts and create a list and sort them by speed.
- It will then analyze your surroundings and edit the Mounted macro.
- If you can fly then it will chose a random flying mount from the fastest category it will also chose a random ground mount to be used when using a modifier with the macro.
- If you can not fly it will simply chose a random ground mount from the fastest category.
- If you enter combat it will change the macro to a combat macro which you can edit in the Blizzard Addon options.
- If you are indoors it will change to the indoor macro.
- If you are swimming it will change to the swimming macro.
- A new mount will be chosen for you every time you mount up.
- the macros are compleatly customizable (editing of the attack macro is highly recommended)
- macros can by customized with tags that get replaced when the macro is parsed (see below for list of available tags)
- custom macros are saved globally so you will have access to them from all your characters (per account)
- you can preview your macros before deciding on them
- you can set priorities for mounts from 0-10 (0 = will never be selected, 10 will most likely be selected)
- If you want to add a spell such as travel form you may do this from the options this will then be put into the mount linup (after you configured the spell)
Macro tags are:
Here are tags you may use to customize the above macros: <ff> == Random Flying Mount (fastest speed increase) <f310> == Random Flying Mount (310% speed increase) <f280> == Random Flying Mount (280% speed increase) <f60> == Random Flying Mount (60% speed increase) <gf> == Random Ground Mount (fastest speed increase) <g100> == Random Ground Mount (100% speed increase) <g60> == Random Ground Mount (60% speed increase) <g0> == Random Ground Mount (0% speed increase) <ww> == Random Water Mount (defaults to <gf> if no mount was found) <aq> == Random Ahn'Qiraj Mount <s#> == will be replaced with the spellname of spellid (will not insert rank so will scale)[/code]
If any mounts are missclassified please let me know so i can fix the scanner. You may fix this on your end by simply editing the mount in the Mount Options
Mounted also supports the various Druid forms and the Shaman Ghost Wolf form though there may be some bugs associated with them since i don't have either character to do extensive testing on all i get is premades on the PTR when they are available. Mounted will also present you with some druid /shaman macros as appropriate.
any suggestions or improvements are most welcome please open a ticket about them.
If you want a very similar addons for your other Critters look no further and go to here.
doesn;t have anything to do with warlock spells its a mount grouping issue it looks like
am working on fixing it
alright the random mount generator should be fixed and once again choose grouped mounts
latest alpha is here http://www.wowace.com/addons/mounted/files/296-v2-2-11-9-g9d286df/
The new UI looks very nice. I have a problem though. I created I profile for my Warlock and created a Ground mount group with Dreadsteed and Felsteed. In the Mount Priority Stes, I modify the default set so that everything except the new Warlock group which I put to 100.
My warlock is level 88 and cannot fly in Pandaria. The macro is always suggesting the Swift Brewfest Ram insteadof the Dreadsteed or the Felsteed. If I go to Stormwind, the macro works like it used to for flying mounts but if I press SHIF, the Swift Brewfest Ram is always the choice.
Additional toughts (not related to the problem):
profiles are still buggy as hell if you change it :(
does logging out and back into the game resolve the dreadsteed issue? i think it may be a problem with the random mount generator breaking down with only 1 mount option if it had more before (will test this myself when i get home)
as far as the priority sliders go i am actualy thinking of simply removing the number so that peoples OCD doesnt take over since it doesnt matter much if you have it set to 50 or 52 unless you only have very few mounts
expect an update somtime tomorrow with a new alpha
Relogging didn't correct the problem. Since you were taling about a possible issue if there was only one option, I've added an extra mount (Tyrael's Charger). The Charger became the choice for the macro but neither the Dreadsteel nor the Fetsteel ever got selected.
Also, I realised that neither the Dreadsteel nor the Felsteel appear in the list of mount for the default priority set even though they are present in the normal mount list. This might have something to so with the fact that they never get choosen?
Just tried the latest version (v2.2.11-6-g005fc15) and I still can make Mounted select the Dreadsteed or the Felsteed ever.
Did you try deleting your mounted SV and SV backup file? Also you are on a warlock when trying to summon them right?
Looks like it will be a winner, but if i click off Mount Priority to any of the other 4 tabs there is nothing there, and when i click on Mount Priorty again, there is nothing there to select, have to Relaod the UI to get it back, so i cant set Grouping, Macros or Profiles. I know i have LOTS of addons, but this is the ONLY mount addon i have
see if it happens without any other addons?
it works fine on my end with the default UI so without knowing what addon is interfearing i can't help
Should all the old Mounted stuff be deleted, from saved variables and such like, will give that a try before trying to work out 157 other addons and let you know :-)
old remnants shouldn't interfere but you never know :P
easy way to figure out which addon is to disable half see which half of you addons cause it then disable half of those that should get you an answere within 8 or 9 login/outs
ok very strange, i disabled 5 at a time and so on, i got to Collectinator addon dissabled and it all works, then i re-enabled collectonator expecting it bug out, but it didnt, i now have all my addons enabled and it is all working, so maybe it had something to do with a loading order or something. Just some info if others have a problem. If i discover anything else that is relvant i will let you know.
LOL bugger, just as i posted this, it has all dissapeared again LOL
Collectinator is the problem, it is a load on demand addon. I use this addon to see what mounts and pets i still need to get.
don;t you hate when that happens?
maybe one of your addons isn't "activating" right away and thus not causeing the problem right away
Found something relevant and strange,
When i open the Mopunt and Pets Journal, Mounted seams to "Fade" the background OVER the settings, i have played with the "Shift-P" on all 4 tabs, so is there something that would cause that? it is as though the background becomes the top layer, i know that Atlas had a similar problem but you could set the transparency (not a great fix) but it allowed you to at least read what was meant to be on top.
Sorry for all the posts, but you did want feedback :-)
Do you mean over the blizzard settings? Am at work so can't test right now. Also this is the kind of feedback that I am looking for.
can you upload a screenshot of the problem? also i can't reproduce it at all so again check if its one of your addons.
a list of your addons may helP :)
Hi there, so here is a screen shot
http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/3236/mounted.jpg
when it is working and you click on the top right hand arrow to close Mounted (with the cool sound of a stone roling door) the background appears and when you open Mounted (same cool sound) the background dissapears when Mounted is fully open.
Well it is that background that seams to become the foreground and you cant see or click any of the mounted settings.
Hope this helps,
it gives me an idea what is going wrong but sadly i can't reproduce it so i have no idea how its breaking on your end
figuring out wich addon causes it would be of great help
Did the screen shot help any?
Sadly no and I ask can not reproduce the problem. Figuring out which of your add-ons is potentially causing it is key. A list of all your add-ons could help
