GupPet
Last Updated: Jul 26, 2018 Game Version: 8.0.1
What is GupPet:
GupPet is an add-on that gives an extension for mounting and calling critters. By a single click it mounts a ground, swimming or fly mount depending on the players location. Because most players have plenty of mounts and companions, and you probably like more than one, the add-on can randomly select mounts/companions depending on the selections in the option menu.
Basic Features:
- Randomly selects a mount / companion location dependent.
- Class support for Druids , Shamans and Mages
- Automatically summons a companion
- 3d model preview
- Masque support
- And many more !
In game usage:
There are 3 types of controls.
- Action buttons (Adds buttons and are move, hide ,scale and Changeable .)
- Key Binds
- Slash Commands
How it works:
GupPet uses a small database to split the mounts that the player currently has learned. The splitting is based on type (ground, swimming or fly) and speed. When using the auto mount function the add-on will always try to select the fastest possible option, but if you can fly in an area the add-on select the flyable over the ground type. If your are swimming the aquatic will be selected above the other two types.
For the critters GupPet uses a small database to detect if a critter uses a type of reagent to call it, for some types you need a snowball. The add-on detects if you have that reagent with you and if not, the add-on won't select that type of critter.
Language support:
The languages that are currently supported are English , German ( Tnx to Farook at Curse) , Spanish ( Tnx to StiviS at Curse ) and Russian ( Tnx to StingerSoft at WowInterface.) Also esMX ( Tnx to cancerberus at Curse ). With the none-supported languages the zone detection is not supported and therefore forces the two mount action buttons.
Commands
The start command is '/GP' or '/GupPet'. ( The mounting slash commands don't support abilities with spells )
Known Issues:
- If you or a patch clears your WoW Cache folder, you may experience an invalid list of mounts or a failure to select some mounts for your first login after the cache was cleared. Try logging out and then back in.

Posted Aug 17, 2018For some reason, my tailored carpets aren't listed so they are unable to be randomly selected. Any ideas?

Posted Aug 16, 2018GupP_Mount.lua
line 6
local continent = MapUtil.GetMapParentInfo(C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player"), Enum.UIMapType.Continent).mapID
Some part of this expression is nil during Island Expeditions.

Posted Jul 31, 2018I'm not sure what might be causing this problem. Everytime I reload/relog, on my companion page all my pets are selected no matter if I've unselected all or all but 2 or 3 companions. I don't know what to do, any suggestions/help? Thanks:).

Posted Jul 25, 2018Thank you so much for updating this. Sadly, I am still getting an error every second. I didn't see a place to put in a ticket, I hope it's ok to put the error in here.

Posted Jul 22, 2018What a dopamine rush to see this updated!
I think the reason this addon has such a loyal user base is that, more than any other addon besides maybe Weakauras, this addon demands and delivers a lot of time tweaking all the preferences and usage levels. As such, in a way, I have spent more time with this addon than any other in truly customizing the "feel" of each character.
Literally the first thing i do when i get a new mount is to go through all my character base and setting their usage levels, going by the "feel' of the mount. To automate this I have even in the setup bat files to autocopy the lua for each toon to others. Before Legion's class mounts, which pretty much forced me to make it by class, I was even able to group them by things such as "Blood Elf Physical" or "Night Elf Caster"
So this addon means a lot to me. Hope this community keeps up the addon!

Posted Jul 20, 2018Thanks for the update! Sad to hear you aren't playing anymore, no other addon does what GUPPet does, I've tried them and nothing really satisfies me. This is easily the best mount/pet addon available!

Posted Jul 19, 2018Seems weird, but since the update I am missing some of my multi passenger mounts being listed. Namely the xmog yak. Anyone else experience this?

Posted Jul 19, 2018Woo! We have a working Guppet again! I was afraid I was gonna have to find something else... and we can't have that now, can we? Everything seems to be working, I haven't had to do the LUA edit when I reinstalled it, so that's nice. I do notice that it still wants to summon flying mounts in ground-mount-only class halls (like the warlock class hall). Me personally, this isn't a big issue, just a quick shift click and it summons a ground mount, but thought I'd pass it along anyway :D

Posted Jul 19, 2018One minor issue, none of the class mounts either the legion ones are the normal ones are showing up for the characters. I have cleared the variables and deleted it and completely reinstalled and it still is not loading them into the list.
