RIDE

RIDE is a lightweight World of Warcraft Classic TBC Anniversary addon that gives you one smart keybind for travel.

Instead of managing separate buttons for ground mounts, flying mounts, Paladin or Warlock class mounts, and Druid travel forms, RIDE chooses the best available action for your current area, class, combat state, and configuration.

Features

• One configurable keybind for ground mounts, flying mounts, class mounts, and Druid travel forms.
• Ground and flying mount slots with simple drag-and-drop setup from your bags.
• Automatic fallback to a usable ground mount when flying is unavailable or no flying mount is configured.
• Druid support for Aquatic Form, Flight Form, and Travel Form as an outdoor combat fallback.
• Paladin Warhorse and Charger support when learned.
• Warlock Felsteed and Dreadsteed support when learned.
• Optional Paladin Crusader Aura activation while mounted.
• Restoration of the previous Paladin aura when dismounting through RIDE.
• Optional protection against dismounting while flying.
• Keybind setup from the RIDE options panel or WoW's Keybindings menu.
• Localized interface for all locales supported by WoW.

Setup

1. Type /ride to open the configuration window.
2. Drag a ground mount item and a flying mount item from your bags into their slots.
3. Enable the class-specific options you want to use.
4. Click Set key, or open Options > Keybindings > AddOns > RIDE, and assign the Smart Travel keybind.

Mount slots accept mount items from the character's bags. Right-click a slot to clear it. Class and Druid options only appear when the current character knows the corresponding spell.

Paladin Crusader Aura

Paladins who know Crusader Aura can enable an optional setting that activates it while mounting and restores the previously active aura when dismounting through RIDE. The setting is disabled by default.

Item-based mounts can activate Crusader Aura and begin mounting with one key press. Paladin class mount spells require two key presses because Crusader Aura and the mount spell share the global cooldown.

If another action dismounts the character, the previous aura is restored on the next Smart Travel key press.

• /ride - open the configuration window
• /ride status - print the current setup

• /ride update - rebuild the secure travel action

Classic TBC Compatibility

RIDE is designed for Classic TBC, where mounts are still items in your bags. It validates configured mount items and only uses them while they are present and usable.

The addon does not rely on the broken [flyable] macro conditional. It determines whether the current area permits flying and prepares a secure travel action outside combat.

Supported interfaces: 20505, 20506.
