  • About Mounty
  •  

Mounty is a simple lightweight, won't know it is there unless you want to change something, addon.  It conflicts with nothing and breaks nothing.  It simply uses one macro slot.  That macro is a macro for mounting/dismounting and exiting vehicles.  Want to change to a flying form ... get another addon.  This simply operates mounts in the Character Frame/Pet/Mount tab (and exits any vehicle).

Mounty works by creating and maintaining a macro that can be used to mount and dismount (includes vehicle mounts).
The Macro Icon will be the in-game icon of the mount which will be (is being) used by the macro.

THE MACRO:
Do not name another macro with the name of ten (10) spaces ... "          ".  Mounty uses this name to identify its macro.

If you are NOT mounted, clicking on the macro will:

LEFT CLICK : Mount the selected flying mount (if it is usable) or else the selected riding (non-flying) mount.
RIGHT CLICK : Mount the selected riding (non-flying) mount. (Vehicle mounts are included.)

If you ARE mounted:

SafeFly <ON>
LEFT CLICK: Dismounts if riding, the macro will not dismount while flying unless it is right clicked.
RIGHT CLICK: Forces dismounting, even when flying.
Clicking the macro will EXIT ANY VEHICLE occupied by the player. There is no SafeFly for flying vehicle mounts.

SafeFly <OFF>
Clicking the macro will dismount the player from his mount or EXIT ANY VEHICLE occupied by the player.

SLASH COMMANDS:
/mty - Shows Mounty Status, Refreshes the Mounty Macro, and shows Options/Help.
/mounty - same as /mty.
/mty enable - Enables Mounty (for the current character).
/mty disable - Disables Mounty (for the current character).
/mty char - Uses the perCharacter macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
/mty gen - (default) Uses the General macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
/mty set - Selects the currently used mount for the Mounty Macro. (Mounty knows which type it is.)
/mty safe - Toggles "SafeFly" on and off.  SafeFly on requires a right-click to dismount when flying.

The Macro may be created and maintained in the General Macro list, or in the perCharacter Macro List.
Since Mounty will change and maintain the macro for each character, the macro need not be kept "per character" list.
Using the General Macro List will take one macro slot for all of your characters, instead of one for each of them.
Mounty will maintain the macro under the General Tab by default.

ENABLING AND DISABLING:
Mounty works by creating and maintaining a Macro for mounting and dismounting.
Mounty can be disabled and enabled by following the slash commands:
/mty disable - disables Mounty
/mty enable - enables Mounty

CHANGING MACRO TABS:
To change the location of the Mounty Macro, use the following commands:
/mty char - Uses the perCharacter macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
/mty gen - (Default) Uses the General macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
Mounty will disable itself if there is no room for the Mounty Macro (it will change to General or perCharacter to find space).

TO SELECT A MOUNT:
Initially, Mounty will automatically fill in macro mounts from your list of mounts.
The player then must select a riding and a flying mount.
To select a mount, see the option "Set a MOUNT" below.

To SET a MOUNT for use by the macro:
Mount the selected mount (riding or flying) and then enter following slash command:
/mty set - Selects the currently used mount for the Mounty Macro. (Mounty knows which type it is.)

    With the help of my son Dejial, I was able to track down the "Tourette's Syndrome" problem. Glad to have a system that WAS experiencing the problem. Many thanks again to Dejial for the testing and help.

    Fixed the random utterings and cleaned up the code. Blizzard has fixed a great number of their problems, and when they finally get the "flyable" condition to work properly in Wintergrasp, macros can be used everywhere once again. I am keeping Mounty up to date, if only to make it easy to set the mounts, rather than having to enter the names into a macro. But for now, it makes the only macro that works EVERYWHERE properly. I am certain that Blizzard will screw things up with their coming patches and expansions. I have Mounty ready to meet the challenge and to be usable for as long as I am playing.

    As an added note, I think I have a way to add a swim mount and several additional optional mounts using modifier keys (shft,ctrl,alt). I just need to capture them.

    I noticed why my toons would sometimes suddenly /say the mount it was on (eg. "etal Warhorse") just as I use the Mounty macro to mount onto my flying mount. It happens on Krasus' Landing for me because as I reach the platform, if I'm still on my land mount and the Mounty macro tooltip picture is still showing just before I press it again it will /say into chat whatever land mount I was using as I hit it again to go onto my flying mount. This doesn't happen if I wait for the tooltip picture to change to the flying mount. Still a great addon, but I'm having to need to check the tooltip now just so my toons don't get a sudden bout of tourettes.

    I removed all print statements that could be causing this. I will keep looking and removing any print statement I find that isn't used or would be responsible for this activity. I don't experience this problem and most everyone I know, that uses Mounty, doesn't experience this. It may have to do with a shared variable somewhere in the Mounty code and another addon's variable. I will keep at it and if I have to do so, I will rename the variables used.

    Fixed issue with the macro updating properly at the beginning and end of the Wintergrasp battle. Removed all non-essential printout lines.

    I use Baron's Deathcharger as my normal mount and everytime we win or loose WG the mount-macro icon is still showing Baron's mount and when I click on it it switches to my flying mount, but the weird part is it also makes my char say "hcharger" in party or /s when I click it.

  • yes this also happens sometimes in dalaran/krasus landing.

    The problem came from the macro rewriting while it was being used. There came a time in Wintergrasp, that the macro did not update until it was being used and the rewrite left parts of the mount name alone in the macro to print in the last channel the player used. There was a minor bug in Krasus' Landing where this would occur, as well as at the end of every Wintergrasp Battle if you tried to mount before changing areas in the zone.

    Is this going to be fixed or? :s

    I didn't find any printout that would be causing the problem. Hopefully there isn't another program calling a print statement. I removed all test print functions an all other unused print functions. I hope this stops the print problem. I have implemented a fix to have the macro rewrite properly after the battle ends in Wintergrasp. I have tested it a bit but made changes to other sections that should not affect it, but might. The new version will be up soon.

    There may be some call to an old test print somewhere in the program. My mount icon changes at the end of battle. I will look into it and try to do a back up macro write at the end of battle in Wintergrasp. Looking for the print problem, but it is hard to find when I have had no problem to help me track it down. I'll get back to you as soon as I track something down. Only been home 4 days in the last month and I am heading there now from Singapore. I'll start checking on this coming Wednesday. Thanks for the report.

    Now, how a about a third "swimming" mount? :D
    atm there is only the sea turtle. But with the next expansion, there will be a lot more.
