Classes
There is too much spells handled by the add-on to list them here, see in game. But for a quick summary, it handles every speed increase spells.
Sets
In the Set Options category you will find several tabs.
- Companions and Mounts tabs: Here you can create sets and select which one is active for edition (If it is not the Default set you have to activate it before the add-on will use it, see bellow), when selecting companions or mounts in the Mounts List or the Companions List categories it will edit their respective active set.
- Default Sets category within Companions and Mounts tabs: Here you can create the default set of sets. This is useful if you want to create several sets and just use some of them as the default one. It is not mandatory and the add-on will search for a set named Default if nothing is set here. But if you have created a set and want to use it, it have to be selected here. Remember that the add-on will not use a custom set until asked for.
- Area Companions and Area Mounts tabs: Here you can define a set of sets for a given area, the add-on will use those sets if you are in that area.
Sets are saved on a global scope, they are not tied to the current profile, editing a set on a character will modify it for all your toons using that set. This is unique and all the other options are tied to the character profile (default set of sets, area set of sets, etc).
A set will not be considered active until it have at least one favorite selected.
Custom macros
You can edit the mount button macro, using classic macro syntax or LUA. As this feature is for advanced users I will not make a full documentation on it. Read the summary in game.
And if you import someone else code be sure to completely trust him/her. This code will be executed when clicking the button, and even if there is not threat for your account, you can still get griefed/scammed.
Other informations
Configuration panel
There is a lot of options, and I think more will come. But every option got a description in game, you are not alone. I will add here more information if something is reported unclear.
Commands
/petsandmounts (/pam is an alias)
/pam - Display the configuration panel /pam refresh - Force a pets and mounts databases refresh /pam show - Show the minimap button /pam resetzones - Reset the current zones database
/pampet - Random companion /pammount - Random mount (smart) /pamground - Random ground mount (forced) /pamfly - Random flying mount (forced) /pamaquatic - Random aquatic mount (forced) /pampassengers - Random passengers mount (forced) /pamsurface - Random surface mount (forced) /pamrepair - Random repair mount (forced)
Random summon
Here is the priority used by the add-on.
- Force one.
- Area override.
- Area (add-on forced, ex: vashj'ir, aq40). Can be disabled.
- Favorites and Area sets.
- All.
This can be altered by some items, the Magic Broom or the Haunted Memento for example. Those specifics instances can be disabled in the options panel.
Impact on the system
As every add-on relying on databases, it is using a lot of memory. Although it will not harass your CPU, especially in combat.
Support
If you find an error or have a suggestion, please use the tickets system. This is better as I instantly receive an E-mail. You can also help with the add-on localization.
Some features could not be available with the release version, as I edit the description when uploading new alpha. You can find all the add-on versions here.
In reply to zefrogi:
Can you provide more specific instructions? I don't know where to find the files that specifically have this in their code, and Windows can't check the code inside the files :\
In reply to stormwails:
I seem to have found a file with the SetBackdrop code in it, and it's in frames.xml (on line 182). Now it would be nice to know how to "delete any mention" of that code?
In reply to stormwails:
Right-click the Core.LUA and Frames.XML and choose 'Edit'
Search for "SetBackdrop" and delete any line with it. Save the changes and try reloading your UI.
See if that works. I did this over a month ago now so not sure if there are any other files, but start with those.
In reply to DarkLimpan:
I deleted the whole line in Notepad where "SetBackdrop" is mentioned and saved changes. Worked for me.
In reply to zefrogi:
That seems to have fixed it, thank you. :)
This week my list of accessible mounts has pretty much disappeared. I have over 400 mounts. But my list now shows 9 ground mounts, 6 flying mounts, and 1 aquatic. Am I missing something or did Bliz mess with the databases?
In reply to jaynith25:
I have quite the opposite experience (after release of the pre-patch and after some fixes to this addon), where it lets me select/checkmark mounts from the opposite faction, class-mounts and profession-mounts my current character doesn't have (each of these mounts are red-marked in the mounts UI).
Great addon :-)
Is there a way I can only use the Data Broker for mounts only (excluding companions completely) and also when I right click make it show only the ones I selected as Favorites?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
is it possible to edit sets/regions from a file (mounts mostly) ?
Thanks inadvance for any info you can provide.
I just had this error pop up.

Now the addon only summons my Albino Drake no matter which key combination I use. It's the first mount in my list.

The addon doesn't seem to be auto summoning any longer, nor does the shortcut work and neither does the minimap button. I tried it with all addons disabled bar Pets & Mounts and still no cigar.
I do not get any LUA errors or whatsoever, it just doesn't seem to be working.
I've logged a ticket as well, let me know if you want me to try anything.
In reply to Forge_User_97359007:
Is there a way to have a flying mount to be used in areas where flying isn't allowed? I set up a set and have just one mount selected (flying mount) but since I'm in BFA, the addon keeps summoning random mounts. I also set this mount as the "forced" mount.
I keep dreaming that toys will be added to this amazing addon someday.
i think Blizzard has changed something and now no matter what i do or how I set the the addon options when i am underwater the only mount the addon will summon is the azure water strider. if i hide the water strider in the mount journal and restart the game it won't summon any mounts when under water. Also I still have the problem when I disable all addons but this one.
