LonnyCompanions

Dear end-users I no longer longer support, or maintain this addon.

Goodbye to the UI community!

A complete lightweight set of functionality to randomize mounts and companions!

*** Please delete the old version before you're copying this one ***

Due to the fact I'm parsing the tooltip, it currently works only for the english clients, once the locales are set for other languages it should work just the same.

This addon don't use any kind of mounts database and it's doing everything dynamically, so it's relatively small.

Please read the changes log below for more details.

Starting from version 200 you can use the addon as standalone without the dependency of Fubar through a handy slash-command! (You can delete the FuBar plugin folder completely if you wish.)

The only thing you need to do to get started is setting the mount skill you wish to randomize either through the FuBar options, or through the addon slash command.

Slash Command
/castcomp [options] parameter; [options] parameter
e.g. '/castcomp [flyable,nomounted,skill:225,nomodifier] flying-mount; [nomounted,skill:150] ground-mount'

Custom Macro Parameters
Custom Macro Parameters are special tokens which you can use to call a random grounding-mount, flying-mount or a random companion (critters).

The tokens are as follow:

flying-mount - Calls a random flying mount.
ground-mount - Calls a random grounding mount.
companion - Calls a random companion. (critters)

Custom Macro Options

skill - To let the addon know what kind of mounts you wish to randomize you must specify the riding skill. (Please check 'Mount Riding Skills' below.)

Druids
I cannot cancel forms through the addon itself (when used through FuBar), however you can workaround it by creating / using a macro.

All you have to do is using the addon slash command and the available macro command /cancelform.

/cancelform
/castcomp [flyable,nomounted,skill:300,nomodifier] flying-mount; [nomounted,skill:150] ground-mount

Mount Riding Skills

Skill 75: Regular Mount (Normal Speed: 60%)
Skill 150: Regular Mount (Fast Speed: 100%)
Skill 225: Flying Mount (Normal Speed: 60%)
Skill 300: Flying Mount (Fast Speed: 280%)
Skill 375: Flying Mount (Extreme Speed: 310%) - fictitious riding skill of 375 to support the 310% mounts.

TODO:

Add native support to LDB.
Add an option to have your companion-pets always up with you.

Known Issues:

Sometimes the addon picks the slower mounts, it doesn't happen often, it's a known bug and I'm working on a fix! A reloadui should fix it.

Changes Log

Code:

206 (01-05-09)
+ TOC update to 30100. (Patch 3.1)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
205 (26-11-08)
+ I removed the Druid forms feature, as it's not possible and you can work around it with a macro command /cancelform
+ Mounting in northrend should work properly now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
204 (25-11-08)
+ The 'ignore-northrend' option was removed and it's now being done automatically.
+ Added "The Underbelly" to the list of flyable zones.
+ Druid forms should be canceled now when mounting.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
203 (20-11-08)
+ Hopefully fixed Dalaran so "Krasus' Landing" will be treated as a flyable zone.
+ Wintergrasp is now supported and treated as unflyable area.

I deleted both folders from addons before copying the files from the 204 archive. I also deleted the lonnycompanions_fu.lua from my savedvariables.

Problem: The feature to pop out of a form for druids does not appear to work.
Bigger Problem: I only get ground mounts. I checked my flying skill and it is set to 300. I tried shift, alt and crtl as modifiers. Hmm... headscratch.

*EDIT* confirmed.. back on 203 and working with flyers again.

I'll look into it. :P

Ok, I didn't know druids forms are considered protected, but you can workaround it through a macro, I'm not sure whether you're using FuBar, or LonnyCompanions slash command '/castcomp', but here is the way the addon is working through macros.

/cancelform
/castcomp [flyable,nomounted,skill:300,nomodifier] flying-mount; [nomounted,skill:150] ground-mount

If you are a FuBar user and decided that you rather use the macro above, you can get rid of the 'LonnyCompanionsFu' folder, as the core addon 'LonnyCompanions' including all the functionality.

I'll upload a fix for northrend soon.

I've got another one for you.

Druids.. if in any form.. will not mount. I know this is how it works with a manual mount process, but it sure would be nice if you could pop me back into NE or Tauren form and mount automatically. May be too much to ask.. but I figured I would anyway.

I'll see what I can do.

If you don't have the skill... or don't have any mounts to match the area (ie: flyer in Outlands) then don't you think it should default to the next highest available? In other words, if I click on your addon in Fubar, you should know that I can't possibly use a flyer, so mount me up on my 150 land mount. Make sense?

Yes, I know, I can use a modifier.. but I'm lazy.. that's why I grabbed your addon in the first place.

Anyway.. thanks for making the nice changes based upon a couple of comments. You da man!

Will do.

The next version will detect zone specific mounts and will use it only if you're inside the zone. [/b]

I'm trying to reproduce it, but it seems to work fine. :P EDIT: Also, I'm not quite I understand you, the addon should randomize flying and ground mounts automatically, if you're in Outland it will use your flying mounts by default, otherwise, it will use your grounding mounts, you can use 'Alt' to force the addon to select your grounding mounts in Outland. Are you experiencing something else ? The next version will detect zone specific mounts and will use it only if you're inside the zone. __________________ Lonny, Best Regards.

Ha! I was just going to say the same thing.

I too like the relative simplicity. Click a button in fubar.. and it mounts/dismounts.

Other requests I would have are:

Be able to exclude mounts (every now and then it tries to use my AQ40 mount while not in AQ40)
Set a preference by zone (this would take care of #1 as well) so it actually defaults to a random flyer in Outlands. Right now it only uses land mounts. My slider only goes to 300 riding skill for some reason.
Have the option to ad click modifiers to the fubar button.. shift click for companion, ctrl click for flyer, etc.
Use waterfall for config.

I do think you have a great start here. Keep it going.

I have a simple request: would it be possible for you to have version numbers included in your download file names? Like LonnyCompanionFu102.zip Thank you.
