About Menagerie

All your Companion and Mount needs in a light-weight, easy to use add-on.

Menagerie

Cataclysm Update

If you are upgrading Menagerie from an install previous from v2.0.0 you must completely remove the "Tia_Menagerie" folder from your Interface/Addons folder. Menagerie was completely rewritten for cataclysm and is not compatible with v1.x releases.

Companions


Allows you to easily select your favorite companions by check-marking them on the default Companions tab of the Spellbook frame.
Automatically summon a companion if one is not already out, additionally you can set a timer to switch to a different companion after a specified number of minutes.
Smart summon will not summon if you are in combat, casting, channeling, stealthed, mounted, flying, in a vehicle, dead, or a ghost.
  • Easy integration to the default Companion frame.
  • Automatically summon a companion.
  • Change companion after an amount of time.
  • Smart summoning.

Mounts


Allows you to easily select your favorite mounts by check-marking them on the default Mounts tab of your Spellbook frame.
Smart mounting will automatically pick a Ground, Flight or Water mount depending on your current location.
Special handlers for Oculus instance Drake mounts means no more searching your bags for the Mount Item.
Can automatically switch your weapons with a Lance and back again at the Argent Tournament.
Can automatically dismount you while on the ground and you receive a 'you are mounted' message.
Integration with Druid Flight Form as well as Worgen Running Wild.
  • Easy integration to the default Mount frame.
  • Key Bindings for Mounting/Dismounting.
  • Smart mounting.
  • Druid Flight Form as a Flying mount.
  • Worgen Running Wild as a Ground mount.
  • Special handlers for the Occulus instance.
  • Dismounting also exits a Vehicle (even if you're a passenger).
  • Switch weapons with a lance and back again at Argent Tournament.
  • Dismount while on the ground and 'you are mounted' messages.

Alternate Mount Mode


Menagerie has an Alternate Mount command to alter how it handles mounting and dismounting.
  • Dismount in flight.
  • Force a Ground mount in a Flyable area.
  • While Swimming, force a Flight mount (must be on the surface).
  • Use a normal mount in a special area (such as The Occulus)

Macro


Menagerie uses Secure Action buttons for mounting.
Because of this, Blizzard requires a Keystroke or Mouse event to activate the secure action.
To use Menagerie in a Macro, simply use the /Click command.


Example, Standard Mounting:
/Click MenagerieButton1


- or -


Example, Alternate Mount only if you have a Friendly Target:
/Click [@target,exists,help] MenagerieButton2

    Is there any way to restrict the auto-summon pet feature when there is a quest-based companion summoned (or any of the non-permanent followers that count as companions, for example the Keg Pony from brewfest)?

  • #31
    If you are looking for a mounting addon that automatically supports new mounts without you having to wait for author updates, please consider my addon LiteMount. (Note: does not do companion critters.)

    Shame this mod hasn't been updated in 7 months. Might have been abandoned :(
  • #28
    The pet timer doesn't seem to be working.
  • #29
    Yea, noticing this same issue. Was pretty excited about this feature, but no matter what the time is set to, it never changes pets.
  • #27
    Anyone else noticed that at the surface of water, the mod will always mount using a land mount and not flying mount? I don't remember having this problem last patch, can this issue please be looked into? Thanks.

    Some other notes, I keep getting "You can't use that here" errors in various places, and the Abyssal Seahorse won't mount in Vashjir (is it coded as a land mount?).

    The Spectral Steed from Baradin's Wardens is also trying to mount as a flying mount.
  • #24
    Anyone else use the keybinding to mount and if so, does it take sometimes about 3-5 presses of the key for your toons to mount up?

    Live and let live or you might get killed!

  • #23
    @Yandirof Thanks for the info, Shadow Form should no longer be dropped on mounting.

    @arodonix I will consider a priority. I originally wrote Menagerie to be a simple on/off sort of mechanism because I felt other addons that did weighted scales were overly complicated and used much more resources than I personally wanted. But, I won't just throw out any idea, I'll give it some thought, thanks.
  • #22
    I don't know if you want or are looking for new feature ideas, but I think it would be nice to have priority system built into the random pet selection. That way our favorite pets (Phoenix Hatchling... cough) occur slightly more often. Probably more work than its worth, but I figured I would mention it.

    And again. Thank you for this awesome addon. One of my favs for sure.
  • #21
    Small problem, and I assume it's linked to the recent Druid form fix, but since this mornings update, whenever I mount, my priest automatically loses Shadow Form.

    If it's a stance/status issue, then other classes might also.

    My Paladin fiance says her auras aren't affected at all though.
  • #20
    Sorry for the long delay, holidays were crazy.

    @Atomicpanda My documentation is terrible, I admit it, I am trying to get better at documenting things. The latest release has much improved Help information as well as a ReadMe text file. As for making it work, Menagerie integrates right into the default Mounts and Companions frames (moved to your Spellbook with Cataclysm).

    @babble Sorry for the Flight Form bug, it's fixed!

    @djinna This was an oversight on my part, using Alternate Mount mode should have summoned a flight mount, this is now corrected!
  • #19
    I've noticed since Cata that you can use a flying mount while in water now.. using my Menagerie mount keybind, it will only summon ground mounts. A small quality of life issue, but is there any chance this might ever be modified? Right now I just keep a flying mount on my action bar.
  • #18
    Menagerie v200 g403 r001
    Druid flight form doesn't seem to be working. I have it checked in the mounts panel but when I try to mount it says I don't have any flying mounts selected.
