The One-Key-Mount? ? Simple to use, configured with Rock.
With this Addon you have only to remember one key (or use the button) for mounting and dismounting all of your mounts, including regular mounts, flying mounts, flight form and much more.
I used the make macro function and whenever I use it the first time after logging in I get the smartmount has tried to perform a function blocked by the blizz ui popup. Only get it once then it is fine after.
I use this, it's fantastic. I'd love to be able to have buttonfacade work with it. :)
Sorry I don't know buttonfacade nor how to program for it. If the macro would work, (see below) you could use it... And I don't will make the Addon depending on any other addon, currently it has no dependency...
Maybe someone which programs for buttonfacade could help me.

Any way to add hunter in/out combat aspect switching?
I could make that the hunter aspect is handeld like an mount, that would it make possible for you to dismount (remove it) by a key, and you can mount (casting the aspect) on key press, but then also summon another mount is not possible... only one protected action per key (dismounting / removing buffs is not protected).

Thanks for your message, I've added this bug to the new Known Bugs section of the Manual: http://files.wowace.com/SmartMount/
But I must say: I'm unable to fix that bug, I don't have any clue...
The latest version (yesterday, 2008-08-10) added a few more mounts to use.
I saw this on WoWI a while back, and downloaded it to take a look. While I haven't actually tried the addon, it's truly bizarre how you've essentially written two versions of the same addon, one that uses Rock and one that does not, and included them in the same download. Looking at the amount of code you're maintaining to support Rock configuration, I can't help but wonder why you don't either (a) just write this as a Rock addon, or (b) ditch Rock and use the Blizzard config window, since the only thing you seem to use Rock for now is configuration.

A while back? I've released it at WoWI about two weeks ago...

This addon is mostly a Rock addon, and without Rock only the defaults can be used.
The reason why I used Rock and not the Blizzard config window is simple that I know how to use Rock (correctly: how to use Ace2, cause I'm also writing an addon, for a long time, which is a big friends list - for all players on a realm) and I have no plan how to use the Blizzard config windows...
Maybe I should have a look on it.
And I use also the RockDB and RockLocale, but that should be possible to rewrite.
And at least: using the key binding of Rock it's easier to manage than the regular key bindings, which I have to hijack.
Ciao, ALeX.
P.S.: The addon I mentioned, the friend list, which can also do much more: I have not enough time to develop it to end and to maintain it, will someone continue it, or where should I ask?

Long enough! Seriously, anything past a few days for me is "a while back". I have a horrible sense of time. :P

Well, you can either write the widgets and functions yourself, or you can use AceGUI-3.0/AceConfig-3.0 (which generates the widgets and functions from an options table similar to AceConsole-2.0, but can be used without your addon being built on the Ace3 framework), or you can hover in the middle with tekKonfig and the like. Probably the easiest for you would be AceConfig-3.0. If you really need libraries to help with saved variable management and localization, you could look at AceDB-3.0 and AceLocale-3.0; again, both are standalone and do not require you to use the entire Ace3 framework, in contrast to Rock.

Well, if it's functional right now, you could create a "release" thread in this forum for it, and mention that you don't have time to maintain it and are looking for volunteers. If it's not fully functional, though, you might try the "Addon Ideas" forum.

You can configure SmartMount with a nice GUI if you also install "LibRock-1.0", "LibRockConfig-1.0" and "LibRockLocale-1.0".
And with "LibPeriodicTable-3.1" SmartMount can also summon a random mini pet.
