Random mount mod?

Randor · 06/27/07, 5:24 PM

Just got my Nether ray and was searching the various UI sites for an updated mod to randomly select mounts. I'm currently using GoGoMount and it works in Azeroth for randomly selecting my Elekk and Talbuk but I'm unable to get it working to randomly choose my Netherdrake and new Ray in Outlands.

So, is there a way to configure GoGo to do this, or a mod that would do it? Thanks in advance.

GoGo doesn't appear to be updated anymore (at least not recently), but you can manually add them:

GogoMount.lua about line 339:

GOGO_AIR_FAST = {
	["Horde"] = {
		"item:25477:", "item:25531:", "item:25532:", "item:25533:", -- windriders
		"item:32857:", "item:32858:", "item:32859:", "item:32860:", "item:32861:", "item:32862:", -- Netherwing Drakes
		"item:32314:", "item:32316:", "item:32317:", "item:32318:", "item:32319:", -- Nether Rays
	},
	["Alliance"] = {
		"item:25473:", "item:25527:", "item:25528:", "item:25529:", -- gryphons
		"item:32857:", "item:32858:", "item:32859:", "item:32860:", "item:32861:", "item:32862:", -- Netherwing Drakes
		"item:32314:", "item:32316:", "item:32317:", "item:32318:", "item:32319:", -- Nether Rays
	},
}

Basically just add in the item IDs for any mounts you want to add. Those are the five Reputation Netherdrakes, I didn't do Armored ones but a few minutes at WoWHead will get you the item IDs in question.

You can accomplish part of what you want with /castrandom, though I really prefer just having one single button to press for flying/ground across all my characters so GoGoMount is still useful to me.

(edit: I put in the Nether Ray IDs as well, since your question was specifically about them as well)

That did the trick. Thank you very much.

Would

/castrandom [flyable] Flying Mount 1, Flying Mount 2; Land Mount 1, Land Mount 2, Land Mount 3
/dismount

not work?

I use different buttons for land/air mounts myself, but this - in theory - looks like it might do the trick. Only question is if /castrandom works with conditionals?

/dismount
/castrandom [flyable] Flying Mount 1, Flying Mount 2; Land Mount 1, Land Mount 2, Land Mount 3;

Indeed, this macro is all you need for random mount usage. There's no reason to use a mod for random casts since 2.0.

Wouldn't that macro possibly summon a land mount in Outlands?

I use the same type of macro, except instead of /castrandom I have it /userandom

/dismount
/userandom FlyingMount1,FlyingMount2
/userandom GroundMount1,GroundMount2

I never really considered adding a [flyable] condition to it, but it might remove the spam I see? When I use my macro I always get an error due to it being two consecutive uses, so it will either be "Cannot use that here" (when I'm in Azeroth, and it can't use flying mounts) or "Action is already in progress" (when I'm in Outland and my flying mount is being "used".

Is there a major difference between /userandom and /castrandom, or are they essentially synonyms of eachother?

I assume it would only cast land mounts if your flying mounts won't work.

I'd be more worried about pal/lock spell mounts working in with the random land mounts :\

They do - /castrandom and /userandom are basically equivalent, they added the ability for both of them to use both spells and items for more or less exactly that reason.

They added a [flyable] variable recently, so you can indeed macro a single button for all your random mount needs in any scenario:

/userandom [nocombat, nomounted, flyable] FlyingMount1, FlyingMount2, FlyingMount3
/userandom [nocombat, nomounted, noflyable], GroundMount1, GroundMount2, GroundMount3
/dismount [mounted]

This mounts a flying mount in Outlands and a ground mount in Azeroth, and dismounts if you are mounted. This only really works perfectly with epic flying mounts, as with a 60% flying mount there will be times you would prefer a 100% ground mount, and so will need a separate button for that.

On my paladin I created a single button mount/Crusader Aura macro:

/cast [nocombat, nomounted] Crusader Aura
/userandom [nocombat, nomounted, flyable] FlyingMount1, FlyingMount2, FlyingMount3
/userandom [nocombat, nomounted, noflyable], GroundMount1, GroundMount2, GroundMount3
/cast [mounted] Devotion Aura
/dismount [mounted]

You can of course substitute whatever aura you might like for Devotion in there. This does work, as the mount cast is not affected by the standard casting global cooldown.

/dismount
/castrandom [flyable] Swift Purple Windrider; Reins of the Tan War Talbuk, Reins of the Silver War Talbuk, Reins of the White War Talbuk, Purple Skeletal Warhorse, Whistle of the Black War Raptor, Summon Dreadsteed(Summon)

This is the macro I have been using, it's worked the way I expect it to. As you can see it can also randomly choose my warlock mount, so that code does indeed work.
