LiteMount
Customizable random mount summoning, since 2011.
LiteMount supports journal mounts, Travel Form, Ghost Wolf, Running Wild, Tarecgosa, Moonfang, Flying Broom, and other item-summoned mounts. LiteMount excludes flying mounts in areas where you can't fly.
With LiteMount you can set rules to customize which mounts are summoned based on location, class, spec, faction, modifier key and more.

Screenshots
LiteMount 9.2.9 is out, no real changes but it's trying to collect behind the scenes how many times you summon each mount. It also displays the count on the mount icon, which is just temporarily until I figure out a better place to display it.
I hope in the future to use the summon counts to even out the randomness, so you eventually see each mount the same number of times (within its priority). I haven't figured out how to do that, but it seemed wise to start collecting the data in advance.

I also noticed that for some reason the "Smart priority mount" system isn't working properly on Mechagon. It seems to be summoning ground mounts instead with equal RNG weighting as the flying mounts. This is contrary to how the "smart priority mount" system works for all the other maps I've used the rule for.
Hi notanotherforumname,
I'm not having that problem on mechagon island.
Is it possible you didn't notice that the Rusty Mechanocrawler, Scrapforged Mechaspider and Mechagon Peacekeeper can now fly?

haha! That was it! My bad xD
:)
Somethings happened to the UI next to the checkmark to show all mounts. It now shows a text string instead. Also can we please get an option to filter by expansion when creating groups? Thanks.
That does seem to be a bug, I'll look into it.
If you can send me a spreadsheet/table of every mount, it's mount ID, which expansion it's from and (ideally) which zone (ID) it's from I'll add a filter for it straight away! But that info isn't in the game, so without someone collating all the data, I can't. :(

I wasn't joking btw, I would love to have more info about mounts that isn't in the game.
Sorry if I seemed sarcastic, that was not the intention. I'm just really bad at collecting that kind of thing myself, and need someone else to do it. Sadly so far nobody did.

I have a fix for this, but i'm worried it might re-introduce some of the recent taint problems so I'm holding off releasing a version update until I can test it in LFR after reset. If all goes well the new version should be out on Wednesday or Thursday.

There seem to be a lot of combat uniframe errors being caused by the most recent Blizzard update.
LiteMount 9.2.5 moves to using a library for the drop down menu to try to avoid any of this.
Hello everyone,
I think (but I don't know for sure) that after unlocking Zereth Mortis flying next week you will need to log in and out again for the servers to correctly flag the zone as flyable. Please try that before logging a bug report. :)
Happy flying, X.

I'm only getting running and hybrid mounts in ZM after logging and reloading multiple times. I'm also having trouble setting up a rule that will only summon my ZM group while I'm in ZM or SFO.
Hi Mumakil64,
I don't think there's any bug, LiteMount has been stable for months now. To help I'll need you to log a bug report with all the relevant information.

Thanks for the bug report. I think you need to use the "Smart Priority Mount" action, not the "Mount" action.
The plain "Mount" action chooses randomly from the selected mount or group of mounts, ignoring priority and ignoring the flying/swimming/ground situation. That is why you get ground mounts from your ZM group.

In reply to xodiv:
That did it, thank you. I was a bit confused about the priority systems. How would I make a rule/s if I wanted to make a class-specific group and a covenant-specific group with a chance to draw from both?
Hi Mumakil64:
I'm glad it's working now.
Unfortunately there is no way to make a single rule that can draw from multiple groups (although it is possible using the advanced options instead). The main problem is I haven't found a good UI for how to select multiple groups, and there is so little space in the WoW options UI that it can be hard to make things fit. :(
Apologies, X.
I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I'm curious - is there a LiteMount addon, but for battle pets? I absolutely love this addon and would love to see something just like it but for battle pets. So I can click a button and summon a random dragon or murloc or whatever settings I use. Any idea if this is a thing?
Hi lady2beetle,
Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you like LiteMount.
Sadly I'm not aware of any pet summoning addons that are maintained. You might still be able to use PetLeash, someone on its curseforge page (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/petleash) posted a comment on how to edit a file to make it keep working, if you feel comfortable doing that. Other than that the only things I know of are ZonePet (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/zonepet) which will try to summon a zone-based pet, but doesn't have any user-settable rules, and Mount Mini-Me (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/mount-mini-me) that will let you pair pets with particular mounts.
Happy adventuring, X.
Hey! Sorry if this is a very simple question but I cant figure it out. I have a rule set for when in Orgrimmar it will use a group I have specified, mixed with flying and ground mounts. It only uses the flying mounts, I'm assuming because I have not selected the flying checkbox in the "mounts" section for the ground mounts. I do not want to check this so that when I am outside Orgrimmar it will only use flying mounts in flying zones. Hope this makes sense, any advice is appreciated :)
Hi saladyn22,
There's two possible mounting actions in the rules, "Random Mount" and "Smart Priority Mount".
"Smart Priority Mount" will summon only flying mounts in a flyable situation (as that is the best kind of mount for that situation).
"Random Mount" will summon from the chosen group of mounts ignoring priority and situation.
You can see more about this here: https://github.com/xod-wow/LiteMount/wiki/Rules#rule-actions
If you want to ignore the fact that you can fly in Orgrimmar and just select one of the mounts at random, you should use "Random Mount" as the action.
If you want the priorities but not the smart mount choice for flying/ground/aquatic, I'm afraid there's no way to do that.
Happy adventuring, X.
