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.
Uncheck "Revoke when stealthed".
I have recently installed this addon and it works well, but when I play Alliance it tries to summon Horde only mounts and visa versa.
Is there an option to filter out mounts based on the faction you are playing?
I need the mount name, and I will add it/them.
Hi, it doesnt detect the pvp reward mounts (at least not the Viscious War Wolf), if you could look into it I would appreciate it, thanks!
For some reason, this seems to keep forgetting the selections I make for my companions to summon. I can't track down a cause yet, but it reverts to a strange subset. :(
I just downloaded this today. Spent all the time checking only the pets I wanted to see. It keeps summoning stuff I did not check. Is there no way to completely exclude mounts/pets because some stuff I got for "numbers" not because I actually want it out :)
Really love this addon for all my characters except my duid. There's a couple of issues that would make it perfect for me:
1. When in Moonkin Form the addon pops you out of form to mount. However, Moonkins are able to mount without dropping form and this makes the process cumbersome when questing / leveling.
2. Most druids who have ever made mount macros would always have the macro switch them to Cat form when inside since cat form has a 25% movement speed increase.
The two things make it unusable for me when on my druid - love it on my Pally and 'Lock though.
I posted this a while back, but is it possible for the pets to show the rarity color in the data broker display?
Thanks!
I had read your post, sorry if I did not responded to it, but I wanted to finish classes options and custom macros first.
I will think of a way to add this feature, as it will not work atm, due to how the addon build the database of pets. (Well, to be clear, it is really easy to add, but it will not uses your highest quality/level pet if you own more than one)
Yea I didn't think about it pulling out pets that you may have multiple of and of different qualities. Even so I would still like to see the coloring. Thanks for the reply! :-)
Thanks for adding hunter support, a few more you mite want to look at implementing at your discretion are.
Mage: Slowfall when falling, blink when moving.
Monk: roll when moving, Zen flight when falling.
priest: levitate when falling / or moving.
also the way your addon handles druid forms is so that it always prioritises them over mounts, are you able to change it so that it only uses the travel forms when the player is moving, I'm sure there are lots of druids out there that love to ride on their mounts as much as I do.
I added an option for Druids to only uses forms when moving, giving option to the player to use his favorite mode.
The class changes you made are amazing, thanks!
It's everything I was hoping for :D
can you make druids change to cat form when indoors and the button is pressed?
I didn't see a way to list your currently summoned pet/mount in the data broker(it only shows "Pet & Mounts: Pets & Mounts" at least on Titan Panel), is there a way to display that info or could it please be added?
Also, if you do add that functionality could you please make it so you can choose whether to display the pet, or the mount, or both. I personally only want to see which pet I have out.
It would also be nice if you changed the data broker icon based on the pet/mount you have out showing that specific pet's/mount's icon (depending on the options I mentioned above)...
Thank you very much for the great add on!
Good idea, I will add it.
I just tried the "update" from the project site, and WOW I'm loving it!
Is it possible for the pets to show the rarity color in the data broker display? If so that'd be so sweet, if not it doesn't matter as I am still quite happy with what you did add...
Thanks again! :-)
Is it possible to add support for the hunter aspect of the cheetah in the class options?
So that if you are moving it'll cast aspect of the pack, or aspect of the cheetah depending on what check box you have selected?
Yep seem possible, I will take a look.
How to summon mounts/pets via macro:
/click PetsAndMountsSecureButtonMounts
/click PetsAndMountsSecureButtonPets
You can do the usual macro stuff with them "/click [mod:alt] PetsAnd...", etc
Is there a way to key bind mounting?
I have been using GupPet but it hasn't been updated for a year and now generates far to many lua errors.
I love the ui of this one... but I do miss key bindings.
