strange to ask but "mount addon" :-)
It is strange to ask for a mount addon ( I have checked dozen) but I could not find a "working" mount addon that can do a very simple thing.
1) create simple mount categories (es. ground, flying, repair, combo, special etc etc ... ) 2) use addon to randomize a mount from that category. es. /addon category_name stop, finish, the end. no fancy things no smart control you can fly or you can swim ... I wanna decide which mount I wanna to summon by myself :-) Thanks :-) |
Mounted does exactly what you're looking for.

But I have to say a couple of thing. 1) the addons probably is also too far complex for what I'd like to do ... and probably I was not succeded in configuring it very well ... 2) it stops working after a few moments with an empty config panel :-( Probably I miss something. |
I have no idea what all of your categories are... (repair?) but did you look at sCompanions?
|
Are you using the latest alpha build on the downloads page? The release version on Curse, and here on WoWInterface are way out of date. If it's still not working, open a bug ticket on the project site, and Yssaril will likely get around to it soon.

ground = ground mounts flying = flying mounts repair = mounts with a repair vendor (Traveler's Tundra Mammoth) combo = ground and flying mount (Winged Guardian/Celestial Steed) special = rare mounts (Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent/Phosphorescent Stone Drake/TLPD) |
Yeah, I got what he meant by repair when I came back to check the thread. :o

thanks Seerah for the reply. I tried sCompanions (not found before because I search for mount :-) but it is not now the addon I am looking for. A lot of the mount addons I checked start from the basic idea that the user like ALL the mounts so they tried to cast mount on all of them. (and probably it is correct and I am only an exception :-) But I don't want to summon my random mount from all the 150 mount I have, but I like only a small subset of them and I want to use only them. Then I like the idea to summon a random repair mount and a random transport mount. Same thing with flyings things. Now I imagine that Scompanion could be perfect if I could define the categories in a file (categories.lua ??) like: category1 = { ["Green Mechanostrider"] = true, ["Bombay Cat"] = true, ["Wintersaber"] = true, } and then cast like /scompanion category1 and so on ... Thanks very much for your answer (and for your addons ... I am using a lot of them :-) |

I have used the latest alpha from wowace (29.10.2012) . The problem could be that, alas, I am using the client in italian. Btw the addon is very cute, complete and do a lot of things... but probably too many for what I am looking for :-) As I wrote I was looking something that let me define only some custom categories in my mounts and then use a cast command on them. Only this. I really don't need priority and zone preferences. I have a really simple need :-) Thanks anyway for your good point. |

You can set up an ignore list if you read the instructions in the folder. ;)

as I pointed out is not so confortable to create a ignore list of about 140 mount when you want to use only 10 ... :-) And if you use the client in english (for raid) and italian you have to duplicate it to. and then remain the feature of the list (repair, combo, special and so on) ... I think it is an interesting thing to a mount addon and I really don't understand why noone has :-) Btw thanks for your kind answers. |

I know you said that you searched the site for "mount", but did you look through our Mounts & Pets download category? http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat146.html /edit: if your pool is small enough, you can create a macro to use a random mount (or even get an addon to have longer macros). Code:
/userandom Green Mechanostrider,Blue Dragon Turtle,etc. |

Hi Seerah,
I follow your suggestion and begin to look again in the mount category, but this time I try to learn how to code this little addon by myself. It is the first time I program in LUA (even if I work in IT) and at the first it was a little bit strange. Btw I succeded in making something that works like I want :-) I'll be happy if you can check it because I'll have a lot of questions and good way of coding but I'll ask them in the right section of the forum. Btw thanks very much to everyone for the kind replies. |
I don't think you can call CastSpellByName() like that.
It is a protected function. |
I am a really newbie and have read about lua 2 hours... sorry about this error.
I'll try to read about it but I didn't find it because it was working nicely (only when it tries to summon the same mount if you are mounted it simply dismount, but I'll have to check why :-) Btw I have stripped it down in this way. One file only and a lot less things :-) -- Code:
-- freely inspired by MountMe |
It's nothing to be sorry about, I just meant that it shouldn't work.
Some Wow API functions are not meant to be called directly by addons, they are protected. I'm pretty sure CastSpellByName() is one of them, does this code actually work? You would probably need to use secure templates to achieve the functionality you're after. |
I really don't know ...
"Casts a spell specified by name (optionally on a specified unit). Only protected (i.e. usable only by the Blizzard UI) if the given spell is castable (not passive) and is not a trade skill; can be used by addons to cast the "spells" that open trade skill windows." How can I know if it is protected ? The code works for me ... What can I check ? Thanks. |

I tried to use a non protected code:
