46 - For WotLK, add a UI for selecting mounts
Pre-WotLK, GoGoMount randomly selects from mounts in your bags. With the new system, GoGoMount is selecting from all available mounts. When I get something new, I generally "demote" one of my old mounts, and have a new set randomly selected. With the new mount system, there's no good way to do this. The current "preferred mount" isn't really what I'm after; I want to be able to pick 2-4 land and 2-4 flying mounts, and have those used as part of the random selection, with the rest ignored.

missbook Fri, 10 Jul 2009 22:46:19I would like to add that I would love to have this. I like to collect mounts, but I really hate the ones I that are so tall you get caught up on scenery on a regular basis and I would like to ignore those mounts, but to still randomly select from the rest of the mounts, and any new ones I get.

tiker Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:43:36I've seen it modified and I've seen mods that replace the mount / pet window which would cause this part of GoGoMount to be unavailable to them. I may do it this way anyways and hope no one uses GoGoMount with these other mods.

Sounds like an excellent idea. And, if someone is modding their mounts and pets dialog already, then they have the / menu. A good example of the kind of UI you're talking about is used by ClosetGnome. It uses a green, yellow, red schema on items on the character gui.

tiker Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:42:56I'm not quite sure what you mean. GoGoMount already detects all flying and non-flying zones in Wrath except for one landing pad in Dalaran which I just added with a recent beta. If you're getting errors with mounting open a new ticket and I'll check it out.

TaurosOrc Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:01:07Sounds like a fair idea, hope to get it working with wrath zones where flying is castable, but just gets an error when attempting to. Just something to look out for with the feature.

tiker Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:11:20So, after doing some research here's how I think it's going to be implemented.
Using the existing Mount frame the goal will be to use the CTRL and ALT keys to select mounts as Global and Zone specific preferences. Selected mounts will be marked with a Green and/or Red border to indicate Global or Zone specific flags.
This won't work with mods that change the pets / mounts frame though.
Thoughts on this?

tiker Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:11:36Quick update here. Global mount settings have been implemented but without a GUI interface to select them. Now researching how to modify the default Blizzard mount page to put check boxes on it for selecting mounts to use.

dwex Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:02:40Having to select mounts per zone, and having to delete mounts per zone, is an exceptionally heavyweight way to go about it. It's actually simpler to just create a couple of macros with userandom/castrandom and update them on occasion when I get a new mount. Honestly, I'll more than likely just go that way and have done with it. The only complex one would be for my druid.

tiker Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:35:03I've already tossed the current options (except for mount preferences) into the blizzard addon frame. There's just a lot of code to be added and modified for considering selected mounts for random mount selection and the GUI to configure it. This is why it hasn't been done yet.

Phanx Thu, 18 Sep 2008 06:56:06While this is obviously a low priority, some kind of integration into the Blizzard addon options frame would be nice. This would open up the possibility of a (non-console) GUI for selecting which mounts to choose from.
