Supporting LiteMount
If you are a rich person and would like to support me, I would love you to buy me a mount from the Blizzard store. You can see the mounts I am missing here, buy a mount I am missing from the shop and send it to me during checkout to my email address <mib@post.com>.
Otherwise, please continue to enjoy LiteMount for free and just have fun playing WoW.
Localization
LiteMount supports all languages. Please help with translations using this easy web interface:
Profiles
LiteMount supports profiles, accessed via the button on the top-right of most of the settings pages.
The following settings are per-profile:
- Enabled/disabled setting for each mount.
- Copy Target's Mount.
- Automatically exclude newly added mounts.
- Advanced action lists (for buttons 1-4).
The following settings are global:
- Extra mount flags (from the Advanced Options panel).
- Changes to mount flags (from the Mounts panel).
And these settings are per-character and not shared:
- Unavailable macro.
- Combat macro.
- Debugging enabled.
Action Bar Macro
To create a LiteMount macro you can drop onto your action bar, type into the chat box:
/litemount macro
Once you have created the macro you can edit it if you wish, LiteMount will not change it unless you delete it and recreate it.
Copying Target's Mount
If you have a player targeted, LiteMount will try to copy the mount they are currently using. You can turn this awesome feature off in the settings.
In-Combat Actions
LiteMount cannot mount in combat. It has a default set of combat actions which can dismount you, exit vehicles, or cast Travel Form or Ghost Wolf.
Getting Out of Water
Jump out of the water and activate LiteMount within one second to fly, float or run away.
For Druids
Activate LiteMount while moving or jumping to activate Travel Form.
Go into the settings and set the unavailable macro to
/cast Cat Form(Shapeshift)
and the combat macro to
/cast [indoors,swimming][outdoors] Travel Form(Shapeshift); [indoors] Cat Form(Shapeshift)
For Shamans
Activate LiteMount while moving or jumping to activate Ghost Wolf.
Go into the settings and set the unavailable macro to
/cast Ghost Wolf
For Monks
Go into the settings and set the unavailable macro to
/cast Zen Flight

If This AddOn Seems Abandoned
If more than two weeks go by after a major patch and LiteMount hasn't been updated, I've probably been hit by a bus. In that case I encourage anyone with the necessary ability to take over maintenance of the addon.
LiteMount is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, which means anyone can take it and do whatever they want with it, as long as they too release their code under the same terms.
In reply to Haylel:
Yes that's the intended behavior. It's a cool feature that only works in one zone, you should enjoy it. And after all you did spend 5 manapearls on it!
You can change the action list to make LiteMount do whatever you want. I haven't tried it but if you change [filter=mt:254] to [filter=mt:254/FLY] that'll probably do what you want.
Happy adventuring, X.

The change does the trick, but as a consequence fly mounts are also summoned when underwater

Thanks Hemario, I've updated both of those LiteMount 8.2.3.

In reply to xodiv:
Would you prefer tickers on curse or github or are you ok with comments on curse?
Whatever is easiest for you is fine. Comments here are probably the easiest thing for other people to see and contribute to.
Thanks again for your help!

is there a way to make it use your underwater mounts as flyers in Nazjatar ? I really like using them instead
Almost certainly.
How would LiteMount decide if it should do that?
Happy adventuring, X.
In reply to xodiv:
With the item https://www.wowhead.com/item=169885/budding-deepcoral
It lets you use them, you use it once and from then on all water mounts act as land or flying mounts in the zone, not sure if there is a quest id that you can track or something that will let you flag water mounts as flyers in that zone
Hi soulyouth,
There is a quest for it, 56766. I've put a new condition into LiteMount 8.2.4 (just released): "qfc". You can try putting this at the top of your action list (where the vashjir condition is, doesn't matter if it's before or after):
Mount [filter=SWIM][map:1355,flyable,qfc:56766]
I haven't put this in the default action list yet because there's a problem with the turtle mounts. LiteMount flags them as SWIM but they can't fly in Nazjatar. I'll have to think about how to handle that. For the time being if you use the above you'll need to manually untick the SWIM flag from any turtles you have.
Let me know if it works for you.
Happy adventuring, X.
In reply to xodiv:
thank you very much for this :)
It works great, yeh first thing I did was test if the turtles could fly lol.
But really thanks again now I can zoom around the zone on my Brinedeep bottom-feeder with the same 1 mount button your addon rocks!!!
Hi soulyouth,
You're welcome! And thanks for your wonderful comment.
I've added the swimming mounts as flying mounts in Nazjatar in the default action list for LiteMount 8.2.5. I've added a slightly new condition to match the exact mount type with [filter=mt:254]:
You might want to reset your action list back to the default if you don't have any other customizations.
Happy adventuring, X.
Nazjatar seems to be marked as flyable. It is summoning my flying mounts by default.
In reply to Hemario:
Can you send me the output from
/litemount location
when you are there?
A screenshot is fine if you can't cut-and-paste.
Thanks, X.

I'm assuming this will be the same for Mechagon. But I haven't been there (yet). I'll update as soon as I'm there.
In reply to Hemario:
Try LiteMount 8.2.1 and let me know if that fixes it.
Happy adventuring, X.
In reply to xodiv:
Yes, the newer version fixed the issue in Nazjatar. Also, Mechagon does not have the same issue as I suspected before, probably because it's on the Kul'Tiras continent. So it's all good!

That's great. Thank youfor taking the time to post the bug report and update, I really appreciate it.

Hello everyone,
I've released LiteMount 8.2.0, updated for WoW 8.2: Rise of Azshara.
There is a new system of mount equipment, the water strider mounts can no longer water-walk by default, and the Blizzard API does not recognize them as a separate type of mount.
As a result the FLOAT default mount flag is gone.
I have added a [waterwalking] action list condition, which will match if you have either of the two types of water-walking mount equipment installed, if you have the Shaman Water Walking buff, or the Death Knight Path of Frost buff.
I've also amended the [equipped] action list condition so that it will also match itemid numbers equipped as mount equipment. E.g., [equipped:168412] will match if you have Light-Step Hoofplates (item ID 168412) installed.
Please report any bugs, as usual.
Happy adventuring, X.
