Would it be possible to add support for shaman ghost wolf if the keybind is activated whilst moving?
Edit : Sorry, discovered how to do this , thank you!
Greetings. Just want a share an idea for this addon, may be author/users could find it interesting. Some sites like wowhead or dataforazeroth show collected mounts for character and sort them by rarity (how much % of profiles have them). I think it would be interesting to implement a feature for addon, which adds mount summon priority based on this %. So lets say such way you would summon rare (small % of profiles have it) mounts more often and more popular (high % of profiles have it) - more seldom. I suppose its not possible to add (or get through API) in the addon this overall profiles percent statistics, but it still would be nice to set this rarity manually (since you are probably interested only in some of rare mounts you have and not all of them).
Is it possible to have LiteMount cast Two Forms before mounting on my Worgen? If so, how would I do this?
I'm not sure what this addon actually does. It's unclear. I'm trying to find an addon that sums particular ground mounts in non-flying zones and particular flying ones in flying zones and the maw mount in the maw. However as far as I can tell this addon does none of that. There is no where to specify or attach mounts to particular zones nor does it enforce e.g. the cobalt pterrordax as a flying mount since it sums it in oribos which has no flying. So I don't know what exactly it's meant to do. Is it meant to have a button you can press? Cause I don't see one anywhere.
In reply to notanotherforumname:
The addon does do what you are asking....
Open the options menu, go to mounts, set priority at the top to zero ( this will set zero for all mounts )
Find the mount you wish to use for no-fly zones and set its priority to 4 and change the tickbox to run
Find the mount you wish to use for flying and set its priority to 4 and change the tickbox to fly.
With regard to the maw mount, set its priority to 1 also and set tickbox to run , this should summon it in the maw
Hope it helps
As an FYI, I'm working on a new way of managing groups of mounts:
- removing the checkboxes from the Mounts panel for user-created flags, leaving only SWIM FLY RUN WALK FAVORITES
- removing the "Flags" section from the "Advanced Options" panel
- calling user-created flags "groups" instead
- creating a new "Groups" panel that allows creating groups and setting the members
Below is a screenshot of the work in progress Groups panel. It is intended to be released in conjunction with a "Rules" panel that allows simpler rules for when to use mounts to be done from the UI instead of editing the action lists (which will still remain as well).
I recognise this is a big change to how LiteMount has worked for almost 10 years. If anyone thinks this is a terrible idea, now is the time to say so (and why).
Happy adventuring, X.
Hey, thank you for your work! I know this is still a WIP, but could you explain what the change is intended to improve? I have a feeling that it's to simplify the process of custom mounts/rules creation but I want to hear it from you.
And also, will this change be backwards compatible with user-created flags we already have, or will we have to start over with the new system?
Thanks again :)
Hi junghee,
Thanks for taking an interest, I really appreciate it.
The main intention is to provide a way for people to apply simple mount choice rules without having to edit the action lists.This is by far the main complaint I get, that editing text is too hard and nobody can understand it and I am a "bad person" for putting it in. Although I don't have any patience for that rudeness, there is a valid suggestion there that it would be nice if more of the power of LiteMount was available to more people.
Because I don't want to put a hidden grouping system into the rules panel, there needs to be a way for people to create, delete and modify mount groups
An example simple rule would be something like:
IF [zone] IS [Bastion] [Limit mounts to] GROUP [group]
where the [] are dropdown menus with various different options. This is just a guess, I haven't started on that yet, I expect it to be quite hard to do.
I don't think the current Mounts panel checkbox interface is very good. It was designed before the Mount Journal existed and has never really been updated for WoW's modern mount system.
The left/right paging is a bit awkward, the headers are too small to show the entire group name, and there's no way create/delete groups from that page nor any space to put one in sensibly. It also mixes two separate concepts into one: the capabilities of the mount (fly/swim/run/walk) and the user-created groupings. I think these are best separated out to make it clearer
That's my thoughts on it, I hope that helps.
Everything anyone has currently done in LiteMount will continue to work. The action list mechanism will be unchanged for those who want to use it, and will just get a new action ApplySimpleRules that interacts with the new Rules panel rules. All of your created flags will move from the Flags section of the Advanced Options panel and the checkboxes in the Mounts panel to the new Groups panel. There's no change in how they are stored or used in the code, it is only a user interface change. In the screenshots you can see my pre-existing flags that now appear as groups.
Happy adventuring, X.
In reply to xodiv:
Will this allow us to create randomization groups as well? For example, I'd like to create a group of horses. The group has a X% chance of being selected, and within that, I want to have a second roll with different weights of Y% chance of being selected. Or am i misunderstanding the feature?

This is a god send to those of us that look at the advanced options and begin to think we are reading Klingon.
Hello everyone,
Just letting you know LiteMount 9.0.32 is out and has all the latest fixes and updates. Apologies for the delay and thank you for being patient.
Happy adventuring, X.
In reply to xodiv:
After installing 9.0.32 I get a notification when logging in to WoW saying "Mount with no family: Mawseeker Harness"
Thanks for the great work on this addon, I love it.
Should be fixed in 9.0.33.
Happy adventuring, X.
In reply to xodiv:
Thank you for the quick fix!
I had used a filter previously to just use the Mechagon flying mount in Mechagon, but it looks like I got rid of that line in Advanced Options. Now everything I try to replicate it (as well as duplicate it for the Maw) is not working. I've made a flag MECHAGON and a flag MAW for each areas and assigned mounts to each. When I've added the lines "Limit [filter=MAW][map:1543]" and "Limit [filter=MECHAGON][map:1462" neither seem to work. What am I missing? Thank you in advance and thanks for a great WoW mod.
:Hi MarhaultFC:
The format for the lines changed a bit with the SL versions of LiteMount. The old ones (like what you have) should still work, but I don't guarantee it.
I think what you want is:
Limit [map:1464] MECHAGON
Limit [maw] MAW
If that doesn't work, please use the Report Bug facility: https://github.com/xod-wow/LiteMount/wiki/Report-Bug
Hopefully with the new update (which I am about to release) you won't need the second line though. LiteMount has built-in detection for The Maw and mounts that work there, it's just that the version you are using is missing Bound Shadehound so thats probably why it's not working yet.
Happy adventuring, X,
Hello everyone,
Apologies I am super unavailable with real life right now and haven't had any time to look over the comments and bugs. I'll be on holiday next week so I will fix everything up then.
Happy adventuring, X.
Thank you for the effort you put into maintaining this amazing addon. You usually have super quick responses and fixes so I was concerned when the addon went a few days without getting updated. I hope you're okay, and please do take care of yourself first.
In reply to xodiv:
You dont have to apology, its not a big problem.
Its a awesome addon and i have been using it for years, thank you for that.
Latest version is missing the new Maw mount + Wandering Ancient.
