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.

There's no error message, unfortunately. But when I go to Interface, click the addons tab, click on pets and mounts, and then click 'load configuration,' nothing appears. It's just blank. There should be options on the right side of my attached image, but they aren't loading.

Hmm, this is puzzling... If you install Swatter, then you should be able to share the error message. Normally, it gets installed with Auctioneer, Gatherer, or Enchantrix, but I separated it out for you below.

Norganna's Addons: Swatter

Once you load PAM and Swatter, try to open the config again, and you should see the error window pop up. If not, try the command /swatter show. Make sure the error message you copy says PetsAndMounts or PetsAndMountsConfig in it, and send it on over.

OK, here's the error message from Swatter!

Definitely broken in Legion. I hope you can update this addon. I don't know what I'd do without it.

I picked up Livestock last night and it has almost all the features that I use. It doesn't seem to handle skills (sprint, roll, PwS) like P&M did, but the mounting and pets seems to be pretty spot on...

I managed to get mine working.

Open addon's Core.lua file and find A.mountTypeToCategory and add another line under [269] = 1 with [284] = 1,

you can copy and paste the code below and replace whats already there if its easier.

--- Return the mount category from mount type
-- 230 Ground
-- 231 Both turtles (not pandaren ones)
-- 232 Vashj'ir Seahorse
-- 241 Qiraji Battle Tanks
-- 242 Swift Spectral Gryphon (while dead mount)
-- 247 Red Flying Cloud
-- 248 Flying
-- 254 Subdued Seahorse
-- 269 Striders
-- 284 Chauffeured
A.mountTypeToCategory =
{
    [230] = 1,
    [231] = 1,
    [232] = 4,
    [241] = 1,
    [247] = 2,
    [248] = 2,
    [254] = 4,
    [269] = 1,
    [284] = 1,
};

Hunter: didn't this used to cast cheetah if you hit the mount button while moving?

Yeah, it's been frustrating that that doesn't work anymore. Was gone over the weekend, will try to go post a ticket soon so we can getthat function back.

Edit: Ticket created.

Ticket is not accepted yet, and it looks like none of his addons have been updated in a while. Perhaps we have a dead addon now? :( Too bad, because I really preferred this interface. Oh well, back to Gup Pet I guess...
