I’m pretty sure there’s a site dedicated to mounts and companion pets out there, but I’m having difficulties remembering the URL. warcraft-mounts.com or something. Something like that would be my starting point. Ouside of that I’m unaware of any comprehensive list.

Is there a list of all the mounts that can be used as ground mounts somewhere? I see magic carpets being used in TB every once and a while and wonder how many more would work with the [1=true] tag that I just manually added to all of my gryphons.

If you enter a battleground and use completely random mounts, guppet will never select gryphons or wyverns. You can mount on them in battlegrounds manually, though. It was a recent patch that they were made dual-duty like sparklehorse. The updated mountdata.lua I attempted (and failed) to link corrected that by adding the [1=true] tag to those mounts.

I’ve been working on the addon to resolve the issues (outside of the missing mounts) that I have encountered. Downgrading to 2.017 only met with limited success. On some toons it worked great, on others, not so much. For example, none of the toons encounter this ground mount issue you refer to. Yet around half still have problems with undersea mounts, while the others do not.

I see in general where the problem is, but it’s slow going as I’m learning LUA on my own as well as trying to reverse engineer the mount-enablement logic.

If I ever get this working the way I want, I’ll upload it somewhere. It can’t be uploaded to the current Curse page because I’m not the author (a sensible precaution) so I’d have to rename it to something silly.

One thing I did notice – if you use the “mount aquatic” keybind, it properly finds and randomly selects an underwater mount. It’s only if you use the “pick something out of everything” auto-mount keybind that I am seeing the problem.

Actually, I’ve done it myself. Uploaded as a .txt file, just change to .lua.

Is it possible you can upload a corrected version? Guppet also doesn’t realize most small flying mounts also work as ground mounts now (gryphons, wyverns, etc).

If you’re willing to do without some of the frills, GoGo Mount does a good job with the mounts, and Kennel will handle the companion pets.

For the time being I’ve come to live with the foibles of GupPet and hope it gets updated, or somebody forks it, or something new and improved comes along.

I agree…. I wish there was an alternative to guppet. Mines become buggy. It used to auto summon pets for me, if I didnt already have one….not anymore
