GupPet

V1.0 GroundMount

What is GupPet:

GupPet is an add-on that gives an extension for mounting and calling critters. By a single click it mounts a ground, swimming or fly mount depending on the players location. Because most players have plenty of mounts and companions, and you probably like more than one, the add-on can randomly select mounts/companions depending on the selections in the option menu.

Basic Features:

  • Randomly selects a mount / companion location dependent.
  • Class support for Druids , Shamans and Mages
  • Automatically summons a companion
  • 3d model preview
  • Buttonfacade support
  • And many more !

In game usage:

There are 3 types of controls.

  • Action buttons (Adds buttons and are move, hide ,scale and Changeable .)
  • Key Binds
  • Slash Commands

How it works:

GupPet uses a small database to split the mounts that the player currently has learned. The splitting is based on type (ground, swimming or fly) and speed. When using the auto mount function the add-on will always try to select the fastest possible option, but if you can fly in an area the add-on select the flyable over the ground type. If your are swimming the aquatic will be selected above the other two types.

For the critters GupPet uses a small database to detect if a critter uses a type of reagent to call it, for some types you need a snowball. The add-on detects if you have that reagent with you and if not, the add-on won't select that type of critter.

Language support:

The languages that are currently supported are English , German ( Tnx to Farook at Curse) , Spanish ( Tnx to StiviS at Curse ) and Russian ( Tnx to StingerSoft at WowInterface.) With the none-supported languages the zone detection is not supported and therefore forces the two mount action buttons.

Commands

The start command is '/GP' or '/GupPet'. ( The mounting slash commands don't support abilities with spells )

Known Issues:

  • If you or a patch clears your WoW Cache folder, you may experience an invalid list of mounts or a failure to select some mounts for your first login after the cache was cleared. Try logging out and then back in.

    @ipawpaws: Go

    No, it just means that for classes that have abilities related to movement, it will take those abilities into account. Druids have their shape-shifted forms for flying & swimming, Shaman have Ghost form & Waterwalking, and Mages have Slow Fall. Hunter aspects & Death Knight's Path of Frost are also in there. GupPet will use those when appropriate in addition to the mounts you have.

    As for the dependency issue, GupPet comes with an extra addon (GupPet ButtonFacade) that uses the Button Facade addon to provide buttons for different GupPet features. If you don't have the Button Facade addon (which is now called Masque, I think), then it will complain that a dependency is missing. But you can use GupPet by itself, the GupPet ButtonFacade addon is not required.

    Thanks for all your hard work on this add-on, loving it and would be hating mounting without it, keep up the good work. :o)

    I have been seeing occasional "you can't mount that here" messages on my high level toons and slightly more frequent a message about riding level on my low level toons. Also, I sometimes have to try a few times to get the sea turtle while in water outside of vashir.

    What an awesome addon! I really like it despite the issues I am seeing.

    I've started to notice that when in an area where flying is allowed I'm still summoning ground mounts occasionally (Just went through three before a flyer popped up).

    Thanks again for the pending update. Here is to hoping all goes well.

    It's been sometime since you patched this and there are several mounting errors starting to happen and mount not listed as they should be, would be nice to see some fixes. Love this addon, missing it working correctly.

    I just got the Cenarion War Hippogryph. This is a flying mount that can be used as a ground mount in areas where flying is not allowed, but Guppet doesn't list it in the ground mount tab.
