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.

to the mounted macro since haivng 2 click them off all the time b4 i mount is annyoing
Though her Deathcharger is there and being classified correctly as the only ground 100% mount that it is and although this also is the only mount added to it, Mounted always tries to make her use a flying mount (in outland) by trying to run the "Default Air Mount" macro. Now the actual "Mounted" macro only throws the "macro error" message at the chat frame, saying that "Default Air Mount does not seem to be a valid macro" (despite that same macro being there (just that it says Unknown() instead of a flying mount)).
Anyway, considering that she has just a riding skill of 150, Mounted shouldn't ever try to run a flying mounts macro in any location, right? - and since Mounted still works perfectly for my druid anywhere as well as for the death knight when she's in an 'unflyable' location, there's definitely something weird going on now with Mounted, the death knight and the outland.
I've already tried with a clean copy of Mounted as well as removing the SV file to no avail. The only way to force it to use a ground mount in outland is to change the entry for "Flyable Macro" to a macro that includes the ground mount (like the "Default Ground Mount" macro).
Will continue to investigate further.
Just got the Magic Broom, and would love to add it to the (flying) mounts -> http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37011.
I just tried to add it either using the name or the id, but I get an error that "37011 is not a valid SpellID or Name"
How come?
Thanks!
I would like to know how I can(if I can) still randomly select any of my 280% mounts in addition to my 310% when I get to a flyable zone.
Thanks!
/castrandom <f310>, <f280>
this will give you a 50% chance to cast the violet mount or one of your 280% mounts
please post all the errors here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/mounted/tickets/ with the full error spam :)
thanks and i will look into it asap
Relatively fringe case, 4 level range for two classes if they turn on the moving option, but Mounted threw an absolute fit when I enabled "isMoving" so I could use my standard mount keybinding to shift into travel form at level 16 on my baby second druid. Error spam went away when I disabled the non-moving mount macros (to Unassigned), but handling for that might be useful. Not critical, but it might be nice. Can post error spam if you'd like, but they were all just variations on it yelling about not being able to parse the non-existant mount list to make macros. :-P
Thank you for updating this great mod. I have deleted the old Mounted directory and mounted.lua . My problem is that now Mounted does not seem to update mounted.lua w/ any changes. The entire file is:
MountedDB = nil
Any changes or macros work fine inside the game, but if I logout or reload the UI the changes are lost.
If it matters, I am using English.
TY for your time and thoughts.
also why did you wipe the old mounted.lua (assuming this is the old SV file)
try to delete the Mounted directory in your addons folder and then reinstall the latest version
I run improved error frame and I get no errors on boot. I have deleted the mounted directory.
I deleted (well moved actually) the mounted.lua save file from ...\savedVariables directory. I did this to make sure it wasn't having an problem from the old save file. I tried it with leaving the old file there first and did this as part of troubleshooting the problem.
Thanks again for your time.
When I do that I get the line above and it won't change.
( MountedDB = nil)
If I leave the old one, it never changes when I reloadui. Either way, my changes do not seem to be saved.
Thanks again!
other than that i have no idea what could be causing this issue especially since in the toc i register 2 SV tables (MNT2DB, MountedDB) so both should show up in the SV file even if something goes bad. (i register 2 because the first one is used by version 2.0 and the second one is leftover from 1.x so i register both so i can pull in 1.x macros if available
But I have never had an issue with that. I will keep trying other things. Thanks for all the help.
also try to reload your ui 2-3 times and then log of and see if it generates your SV file then (SV files are available to addons alot sooner when you reload than when you login so it might be a racing issue though i do not know how this could be)
