About GupPet

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.

    There's no option to disable auto pet dismiss on stealth if you have auto call enabled. Disabling auto call disables the auto dismiss but then you don't get the auto call feature.

     

    The auto dismiss on stealth feature was required long ago when pets could give away your position but blizzard changed it long ago to make pets stealth when your character stealths. You can still see them as not stealthed and any party or raid members can see them too but enemies or others not in party see the pet disappear when the  character stealths, and pets no longer give away your position.

  • #701

    what patch was this feature (companion pets stealthed when character is)?

  • #696

    GupPet thinks that the Winter's Veil pets still require a [Snowball] to summon them. Therefore it won't summon them if you don't have any snowballs in your bags.

    These pets were changed so that they no longer require a Snowball in order to summon them. (Winter's Little Helper, Father Winter's Helper, Winter Reindeer, and Tiny Snowman.)

    Edit: Hmm... the pets I already had on various characters all seem to work fine. It's just the ones I got from under the tree this year that aren't summoning.

    Ever since using this addon I get the error "You can't mount while shapeshifted" while in moonkin form. Without the addon the game will kick me out of form as I mount. I'd like to see this bug fixed as it can be annoying especially in PvP.

  • #692

    There's no LUA errors for this, but the mount button is broken while in the Vashjir zone. 

    What's happening is that GP is always choosing the ground and/or flying mount and NOT the aquatic mount while in the Vashjir zone.  The only way GP will use my Abbysal Seahorse is to uncheck all ground/flying mounts in the options while in that zone.  If any ground/flight mount is selected in the options then any aquatic mount choice is totally ignored.  Which means, of course, that each time I enter or leave the Vashjir zone I must manually reset my GP mount choice options.  The problem started just around the time the patch 4.3 preload was released or at least that's when I first noticed it. 

    Heh....  That sorta defeats the idea of using GupPet to automate your mount choices!!! LOL

  • #705

    Guppet seems to select correctly Abyssal Seahorse in Vashj'ir on characters, that had the seahorse before installing the addon. So the problem seems to be hiding somewhere in character specific settings. Probably they are not reflecting that you have your first aquatic mount.

  • #698

    I don't have any toons of Vashj'ir level currently, but it worked fine for me last time I went to get a tank arcanum there.  Be sure you have the aquatic mount selected.  Referring to the first official screen shot above, you can see there's a tab each for Aquatic, Ground, and Fly (Ground is selected in the screenshot).  Make sure your seahorse is selected under Aquatic.

    If that doesn't work, an easy way to fix this the problem is to create a zone.  To the left of the tabs for the 3 types of mounts are Add and Remove.  Add makes a profile for the specific zone you're in.  Make one when you're in Vashj'ir, with Aquatic enabled and all the other mounts disabled.  Bam.

    Another issue with Vash is that if you have class abilitys on (DK Path of Frost) it will use that insted of mount.

    Good to know we are not the only ones with this issue. For my wife and I the error just began with the last 'hotfix' and realm downtime Tuesday.

  • #694

    As an update, I have found that if you hold shift while clicking the button (force ground mount) and are swimming it will mount the seahorse correctly.

    Tol Barad

    Hi, I noticed that the mount feature works great everywhere except in the Tol Barad BG area. It is attempting to pick flying mounts in a ground mount area.

  • #685

    Just submitted the fix for Tyrael's Charger to CurseForge as v2.021.  Hopefully you should all see it soon.

    I am interested in any errors people are still getting after updating.
