Mountiful

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Mountiful is a mod that helps you randomly select and use a mount or pet based on pre-defined categories.

Features

A new macro named 'Mountiful' should appear in your general macros. Click it to summon your mount. The icon should always show the next mount that will be cast.
Right-click to summon a ground mount. Shift-Right-Click to change the icon.
A new button should appear in your spell interface, below the default Mount button, that brings up the interface
/mountiful, /mount, and /mo will also bring up the interface.
Single-clicking on the mount will summon that mount/pet.
24 mounts are shown at once and are grouped by speed and ground/flying.
Allows you to customize which mounts are used for each category
Safeflying feature will keep you from dismounting in the air when turned on
Support for Pets
Support for Keybindings
Now works with druid flight forms! (You must use either the keybindings or the macro. The /mount command will not work for flight forms)
Auto dismiss pets when you stealth (Rogue love :)

Commands

Mount Commands (Depreciated)

I downloaded the most current version and now the addon is not working at all. Pushing your keybind will only bring up the mountiful menu and this happens with all of the keybindable options.

I tried deleting my lua and bak file from saved variables but that didn't seem to work.

I had the same problem when I installed 2.3, 2.2 was working but I had to open the menu 1st for my keybindings to work. I downgraded to 2.1 and it works flawlessly. I suggest you do the same until they fix it again.

Keybound mounting has been bugged one way or another in every version released since 3.2. Deleting saved variables makes no difference. Currently (2.2) just brings up the mountiful window for all 5 keybindings, tried with chars with no mounts, lvl 20 mounts, and lots of mounts.

I think the last version that worked from keybind was 1.8, and even that you had to tick/untick the "select all" box on the mountiful window as soon as you logged in.

Unrelated : Even with typing /mount smart, it will not allow shape-shifted druids to mount ("you can't do that yet" message) - oh yes we can!

I love what you've done with this addon, especially the updates in the latest version with the sorted mount display - very nice, i love it.

I don't use the addon's built-in keybind feature, so I can't speak to the bug discussed in the last few comments - I have my mount macro in an action bar slot bound to a key that way, and it works great for me.

One problem I am having is in Wintergrasp. I like that the new version supports flying there now, but it doesn't seem to understand that flying is not allowed during a battle - "/mount smart pre" tells me "you can't do that right now" because it's trying to use my flying mount.

I believe you should be able to use GetWintergraspWaitTime() ... oh I see you're already doing that in the code, but i think your logic is being negated by IsFlyableArea() in the same condition... it appears that the condition...

if IsFlyableArea() or (zoneName == L["Wintergrasp"] and GetWintergraspWaitTime())then...

passes as true because IsFlyableArea() returns true for wintergrasp even during a battle, when it's really not a flyable area at that time.

I added this code fragment to Mountiful_SmartMount() to make it work correctly (tested it today and it worked) ... around line 998:

if flyable and (zoneName == L["Wintergrasp"]) and (GetWintergraspWaitTime() == nil) then
flyable = false
end

bloody wintergrasp is the bane of my existence. The IsFlyable check returns different results sometimes, i dunno why. Same with the WintergraspWaitTIme. Ive had the same problems as you, but then the next day I dont.

Addon works fine for me after last update. The only thing that doesn't work good (and I have used the reset command multiple times) is that whenever I login to a character or relog to a different character, the keybindings (set in the bindings menu) don't work. I have to go into the /mount menu and after that the bindings do work.

I only use a binding for pet and Pre-selected Smart Mounting. Any ideas?

You said
"Completely Exit World of warcraft
Go into your world of warcraft folder.
Go to WTF/account/Accountname/Realm/Character/SavedVariables folder
Find the files Mountiful.lua and Mountiful.lua.bak
delete them "

Please do it yourself and test.

Now when using the bindings key the add-on just open the menu windows.... :(

Please, test your add-on before posting. Here a suggested testing protocole :

Fist protocol :
1) exit WoW
2) delete YOUR mountiful.lua files in WTF folder
3) launch Wow
4) use the /mount command
5) Check what's appens
6) if all is OK bind a key

second protocol
1) exit WoW
2) delete YOUR mountiful.lua files in WTF folder (YES, AGAIN !)
3) launch Wow
4) DONT use the /mount command
5) JUST USE THE BINDING KEY. Check what's appens

Thanks for the hard work, your add-on is impressive. But please, please, test it...

I did that actually. I am a trained programmer. Yeah, I doubt that myself too sometimes. And I said long ago I've never gotten any of the errors you did, and I still haven't. But I've narrowed it down to keybindings. I never use keybindings. Never have. Don't know how they work. That's Jomars thing. I use macros. I shall have to learn how keybindings work. My attempts at using the mountiful keybindings worked flawlessly for me. I can only repeat the same tired advice - get the newest file. ANd patience, please :)

I'm not quite sure what you're actually trying to do, but it seems like your keybindings are built on a function that tries to parse an arbitrary string, in this case /mount smart.

But why not just call the function themselves?

For example:

<Binding name="MOUNTIFULBIND1" description="Same as /mount Smart" header="MOUNTIFULHDR">
Mountiful_SmartMount();
</Binding>

instead of:

<Binding name="MOUNTIFULBIND1" description="Same as /mount Smart" header="MOUNTIFULHDR">
Mountiful_Command("/mount smart pre", false);
</Binding>

My guess is that it's what's causing the issues with keybinds, because the string doesn't seem to be parsed correctly by Mountiful_Command()

Since r143, what ever I do just open the Mountiful Panel instead of mounting my mount.

Like someone said mountiful doesn't work when you first log on, you have to /mount before the keybinds work.

Also the pet function doesn't let you select one particular pet it just randomizes regardless.

Let's see if I can keep some of the report from getting lost in the post:

Mountiful-r140\Mountiful.lua:1012: attempt to get length of field 'ExtremeFlying' (a nil value)
<string>:"MOUNTIFULBIND2":1: in function <[string "MOUNTIFULBIND2"]:1>

A couple things I've noticed in the latest version.

Althought Blizzard has updated their UI in 3.2 so that IsFlyableArea() works in more places it should (i.e. sewer pie and landing areas of Dalaran), you still do specific checks in Dalaran that override the results, causing it not to work properly in the sewer pipe (lines 985 - 992). If I remove all the checks, it works beautifully in Dalaran (I haven't checked Wintergrasp yet).

Also, Mountiful_Loaded() does not seem to get called when you first log in, or when you reload your UI. This causes my keybinds to fail until I manually execute a /mount command (which causes Mountiful_Loaded() to be called, updating the selections table). Here is the error I get:

Mountiful-r140\Mountiful.lua:1012: attempt to get length of field 'ExtremeFlying' (a nil value)
<string>:"MOUNTIFULBIND2":1: in function <[string "MOUNTIFULBIND2"]:1>

Sorry if there isn't a stack trace, BugSack doesn't seem to provide that.
