Ravenous Mounts

Version: 2.11.2

by: Spontyman [More]

Now looking for translators! If you speak a language other than English and would like to help, I'd be honoured if you got in touch!

Ravenous Mounts

Chooses the best Mount for the job without any set-up; it’s all based on your Mount Journal Favorites. Minimal in-game configuration to customise your summoning experience. Can even clone your target's mount (if you have the mount too)!

How does Ravenous Mounts work?

The Addon creates a macro for you under General Macros called "Ravenous Mounts". Put the macro on your bars!
Mark your favourite mounts in your Mount Journal as your normally would and use the macro. The Addon will act like the built-in "Summon Random Favorite Mount" button but will respond more intelligently:
- it can more accurately detect when a zone is flyable
- it can summon a swimming mount when you're underwater
- it can summon Maw-specific mounts you've learned when in The Maw (likewise for Ahn'Qiraj and Vashj'ir)
- using key-modifiers (alt, control, shift) with the macro can summon specific types of mounts (e.g. vendor mounts, passenger mounts)
- it can even clone your target/focus' active mount if you have learned it too (great for mount-off competitions!)

If you'd rather manage your own macro, you can use the following slash-command: /ravm

Why?

The default button in the Mount Journal isn't sufficient or smart enough. Ravenous Mounts fixes issues with Blizzard's code like flying detection and adds checks for things like if your character is underwater, and if so, summon a swimming mount. It also does fun things like check when you're in Ahn'Qiraj and can summon your Qiraji Battle Tanks or clone your target/focus' mount for fast-paced mount-offs or just to flex on someone.

Usage

Ravenous Mounts comes with a small handful of commands available for you to check configuration, toggle settings, and see data about your mount lists. Here's a couple of commands illustrated:

Code:

/ravmounts help

Prints out a usage guide much like this one!

Code:

/ravmounts config

Shows you your configuration settings.

Code:

/ravmounts passenger

Forces Ravenous Mounts to call a specific type of mount, regardless of the situation you're in. Available types:

- flying
- ground
- swimming
- vendor
- flying passenger
- ground passenger
- vash'jir
- ahn'qiraj
- maw
- chauffeur

Special thanks

Phanx for their immensely useful API_CanFly from AnyFavoriteMount.

yj368413 for helping me realise that the AddOn should be language-agnostic.

DJharris71 for loads of bugfixes, mount cloning functionality, and helping greatly in preparing for 9.0.0.

This is thanks to a lot of great work from a handful of folks, and this release is dedicated to everyone who's enjoyed Ravenous Mounts over the years. I hope to be able to maintain it until it can't serve its purpose any longer; until then, thanks for all your feedback and help as we continue forth into murky territory (once again ) __________________ Author of Ravenous Addons Ravenous Mounts · Ravenous Nameplates · Ravenous GPS · Secret Fish

I also was wondering what a flex mount is? The seem to be flying mounts to me - what are they?

The Chauffeur Mount is for characters which have no mounts but happen to have the Chauffeur heirloom.

Flex Mounts is a term I borrowed from Phanx and their LibFlyable library. It means "flying mounts that look OK on the ground", so the list includes the Jewelcrafting tigers, for example, which are Flying Mounts, but can be used as Ground Mounts without looking too goofy.

Hope that clears it up! Thanks for your support.

Thanks!

Thank you, this all means a lot!

I’ve added your changes and published an update for 8.0.1. I’m glad people enjoy this AddOn, and I’ll try to keep more on top of it for BfA.

It is amazing that Bliz's random mount selection does not default to ground mounts for no flying areas. I hate grabbing a serpent when I am can't fly. Or a flying mount when in the water. All the other mount addons require another ui input to say which are your favorites, when Bliz actually has favorites built into the UI. why double do the work. Anyway, I made a few changes. 1) required to make it work in BFA: Line 160 change to: Code: local mapID = C_Map.GetMapInfo(1) (not positive on the old line - or line 160 - I am positive it is the 'local mapID' line) 2) Bliz really needs to make a 'IsFloating' command, I hate having to hit ctrl when on top of the water - just give me a flying mount. - I added a function called 'IsFloating': It works as long as you have a breath bar, otherwise not. Code: local function IsFloating() local B, b, _, _, a = "BREATH", GetMirrorTimerInfo(2) return (IsSwimming() and (not (b==B) or (b==B and a > -1))) end Then in line 159 (I think) where it says 'local IsSubmerged' - change this to: Code: local submerged = (IsSwimming() and not IsFloating()) Now you have a flying mount when you are floating. I don't know how to update this on github - but if someone wants to do so, please do. Thanks!

It is now! Please update to version 1.8.8 where I've (again) shamefully taken some code from Phanx’s AnyFavoriteMount to support this feature.

Ignore what I said.

I’ve updated the AddOn to use the flight ability check from Phanx’s AnyFavoriteMount. I’ve taken/borrowed this code with as much gratitude toward Phanx as one human can possibly have.

I believe this will solve the issue you’re having!

Great addon, keep it up

Thanks!

Hmm, are you using the latest version? (1.7.1)

I haven't documented the new feature properly yet—I'll get to that ASAP—but if you're in exclude mode (see below), you need to explicitly set your preferred Passenger Mounts as Favourites in your Mount Journal.

Code:

/ravmounts exclude

If you want to get back to include mode:

Code:

/ravmounts include
