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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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)

/click Mountiful - Casts the best mount for your location. Supports druid flight forms.
/mount smart - randomly selects the best mount for your location. Does not work with druid flight forms.
/mount smart pre - randomly selects the best pre-selected mount for your location
/mount <category> - randomly uses a mount/pet from that category
/mount <category> pre - randomly uses a pre-selected mount/pet from that category
/mount add <name> - adds a new mount category (or just use the 'add' button in the interface)
/mount remove <category> - removes an existing category
/mount safeflying - toggle safeflying on/off
/mount autoremount - If you want the first click/press to Dismount, and then the 2nd click/press to cast another mount (As opposed to a mount always being summoned when you click/press)
/mount rebuildselections - rebuilds selections database (fixes graphical glitches and/or wrong mount being summoned)
/mount preselecteddefault - Sets whether the automated macro uses preselected categories
/mount settings - See what all your settings are currently at
/mount reset - Removes settings and categories. Use this as a last resort if things aren't working.
/mount help - See this text in-game
/mount autopet - Automatically summon a companion when you mount.

/mount smart wont use any mounts now in WG. I keep getting "You cant do that right now. But when i use the mounts manually it works fine.

This is during a wg battle. When its not being fought over then it works fine.

the GetWinterGraspWaitTime() call, which is the only way to check if a battle is in progress, doesn't always work properly. I don't know why.

If you had an old version of Mountiful, there may be some leftover data that the new version doesn't like. This is not something we can reproduce, so we unfortunately will need you to report errors. Fortunately, not many people seem to have this problem.
/mount reset Should fix it now. You MIGHT have to do it twice, to clear the blizzard bak files (backups). try it now.

after the initial error, the mod purposely will not work. Report the intial error (Turn on the new Blizzard LUA frame), and if you want to get the error again, reload/relog.

When I click on the tab for mountiful I get a global error and then it will not let me type in any mountiful commands... they don't even clear the the line. Did turn off all addons and try it then and got same results. Seems to be same message as thebadmf.

i just tried installing the latest few versions from scratch (no saved settings lua file) and it does not work.... the file that gets created contains:

Mountiful_Vars = nil MOdebug = nil

and everything i try to do in game causes a error:

Message: Interface\AddOns\Mountiful\Mountiful.lua:327: attempt to index global 'Mountiful_Vars' (a nil value)

even rebuilding selections....

do i need to copy my old backup settings lua file to make this work? i guess so... but...

Awesome!!! 2.0 working perfectly, couldn't spot a single error that I could easily reproduce on past versions. Incredible work guys! Thank you so much ;)

Now a little question, I was wondering if you ever considered the chance of adding a "stupid" little option to Mountiful, making so you put a txt or a lua file somewhere in the addon director, following a certain format of sentences divided by ";" symbol, and the addon uses randomly one of those sentences and outputs it on the /say chat each time you call for a mount.

Ever thought about adding something like that? Or... dunno, maybe it's offensive that I even thought about such a stupid feature. Hope I didn't make anybody mad :D

I downloaded it, did /mount reset, and now when I type /pet or /mount and hit enter, the command line won't even clear. Enter doesn't even work. It's like it doesn't recognize that I'm hitting the key at all. Was working before I reset the mod (had to reset since it wasn't pulling up any of my pets or mounts) but now, nothing. Going back to 1.3.7 for now...

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...

The sewer tunnel in Dalaran doesn't activate for flying mounts.

By the way, 3.2 fixed a lot of the in-game API regarding the detection of a flyable or non-flyable area. In fact, the only part that didn't get fixed is Wintergrasp during a battle. (Not during battle works fine as a flyable area.)

This mod could just use Blizzard's API regarding flyable-nonflyable everywhere else in the world, including Dalaran (fixed in 3.2) and would only need to step in for that one place/situation.

Yup. We just use IsFlyableArea(). if there is a problem, then it's on blizzard's end.

The macro I use:

#showtooltip [noflyable] Black War Steed; [flyable] Turbo-Charged Flying Machine
/use World Enlarger
/mount smart

When I'm in Dalaran's sewer tunnel, the icon changes to a flying mount but the mount that actually is summoned is a ground mount. It's interesting that the icon changes but the mount summoned does not...

Dunno if this has been posted before but Mountiful won't mount a flyer in Hrothgar's Landing in IC, even though it's possible. It just mounts a ground mount. This is on 1.3.7.
