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.

It's still trying to summon class-specific mounts, and now the config window won't open.

Since patch 7.3, Guppet addon screen will not allow me to choose mounts and will not go away once opened. Any suggestions?

Comment out or delete all calls to PlaySound function in GupPet.xml and GupPet_Interface.lua

Thanks; this did the trick.

For those who don't know Lua, open these two files in a text editor.

Search for: PlaySound

Replace with: --PlaySound

The -- is a Lua comment, equivalent to C++'s // comment-line marker.

This doesn't work for every source code file so it's not a blind recommendation for every add-on. However, this particular code has the PlaySound calls on a separate line each time, so it works perfectly.

These comment markers cause the entire line to become a comment and thus not executed; it's easy to revert in the future if necessary.

Just wanted to give you a well deserved shout out and thank you for the advice! I was very frustrated and then came across your fix and then am frustrated no more :). Really, thank you.

Would it be possible to add a level between Global World and Zones? So I could have standardized mounts for panderia or Broken isles with overrides for the zones inside those continents.

Just wanted to pass along that Guppet seems to try summoning other racial mounts that certain races/classes can't use. The few that I see the most are "requires Death Knight", "requires Paladin", "requires Paladin Draenei", and I did see one for "requires Hunter" on my warlock.

It also seems to want to try to summon these mounts repeatedly, like it takes 1-4 taps of the mount button before it stops trying to summon them.

This all seemed to happen after 7.2.5 dropped.

Not a huge issue, just wasn't sure if anyone else had mentioned it before and thought I'd go for it.

Hi was hoping since we added a aquatic category, the auto buttons for Ground/Flying would also add Aquatic 3rd one soon.

I'd like to toss in a request for a global mount setup too... I don't like the fuglyphants and pigs, so I go through and turn them all off individually on each character... and then I screw up later and hit 'enable' or something and turn them all back on. :P

An option to lock to only allow one particular pet would be nice too; every time I add a new pet, it auto adds it to the list of summonable ones, when I really only want Xu-fu.

Edit: I disabled/re-enabled Expert Mode, which fixed it. I'll leave this here for posterity if anyone has similar issues (still is a PITA though because you have to do reload twice every time you log in. Far less important, the Masque error is still there on every login, super annoying for non-Masque non-BugGrabber users.

I have over 700 pets. Got Stardust the new pet today. When I opened guppet and clicked the Companion tab to adjust its frequency my system hung so I alt F4'd. Now after a restart my companion pane is suddenly blank - no 3d model viewer or sliders; however I still see pet images when I mouseover the blank field. I checked the lua file in my WTF folder and Stardust is indeed in there. Mounts are fine.
It worked before last i checked a few months ago, but I haven't checked it in ages.

-All other addons disabled

-Cache cleared (both account and character)

-Restarted WOW

-Checked other characters

-Restored my wtf file from a backup

-Re-installed the addon

-Let it just sit there for 30 minutes

-Went through last 7 years of comments

The problem goes away on a new character.

Any ideas?

Interestingly, when I framestack, I can still see the blocks of different pet entries, screenshot here:

What really confuses me is that there are separate WTF files for each character, so if one of them gets corrupted if WOW crashes, the others should be fine. I would have thought I corrupted my character's lua when I Alt F4'd rather than just waitied... but the other characters are messed up too.

Edit: I just noticed I get an error when loading in (with no other addons enabled), don't know if this is related (I normally have BugGrabber on so i've never noticed this... seems to be a known issue from previous comments)

Everything has been working fine, but for some weird reason when I am in a flying area I summon the leatherworking Legion ground mount, the Great Northern Elderhorn.

Wowhead has a comment on this:
According to WoWhead's info, this spell summons a White Stallion.

If using the addon Guppet for your random pet and mount summons, it will treat this as a flying mount and try to summon it accordingly. This is NOT a flying mount. You just have to uncheck it in your options.

http://www.wowhead.com/spell=213339/great-northern-elderhorn#comments

Is there any way to have this hard coded?
