As I did not find any light-weight mount addon that fits my need without being big, I decided to write this light addon. Mounted is nice but does a gazillion things I do not need, SmartMount uses Rock which I dislike and Coconuts is just overbloated.

This is a minimalist macro updater. It only updates the macro on meaningful events (login, changing zone, learning new mounts, ...) and uses macro conditional to provide a responsive macro.

The list of mounts and their characteristics is updated from wowhead mount page using a variant of Nymbia's PeriodicTable dataminer. This way Squire has got a mount database without in-game tooltip parsing.

Edit: At this moment, there is no configuration option and I am wondering if I should add some, as it will raise the addon size. I eventually added some basic options using tekKonfig.

The project is still waiting for approval.

Have you looked at GogoMount, Blazing Saddles, or Livestock? There's been more than just a number of mount summoning addons since patch 3.0.

GoGoMount: I do not care about auto-dismounting and per-zone preferred mounts.
Livestock: I do not want any bloated GUI.
BlazzingSaddle: /mount and /mountrandom macros that mimicks /cast and /castrandom ? I do not see the point.

:D works nice but one suggestion, i am a Druid and it is possible to do it like Mounted and use Travelform when I move?

You mean when you are moving ?

GetUnitSpeed("player") should tell you if you are moving or not (it returns a number in yards per second) correct to the 3D world (not the X-Y 2D plane)

You may need to play around with this function to see what it returns when on a moving transport such as zepellin, boat, tram and flightpath.

Hrm... this would mean adding a OnUpdate handler to check speed changes (and why not swimming and flying). ATM, I let the macro conditionals handle such dynamic behavior and I am not sure I want to handle this kind of things myself.

Random does not mean you will not get the same mount twice in a row. I never stated the mount is selected "on every macro use" but "every time the macro is refreshed". This is quite different: the macro is refreshed on (sub)zone change and mount/spell learning. Moreover, Squire uses the following random number:

function GetRandomNumber()
  return 4 -- obtained on a fair dice roll
end

I may add another trigger event so the mount is changed more often.

I eventually added more dynamic behavior to Squire (without significant code growth) :
* moving spell (hunters, druids and shaman): when you start to move, an instant spell is selected (AotC, flight form, travel form or ghost wolf depending on class and location),
* graceful dismount by casting your current mount again (thus displaying its icon),
* smart combat macro: dismount if mounted, cast swimming spell (i.e. druid aquatic form) when swimming, else cast moving spell.

I am quite satisfied with that last version (r10). I think I will tag it as beta. Any feedback is welcome.

Hrm. I do have neither paladin nor warlock. I will find someone who has to test this.
