Squire - lightweight mount helper

[Adirelle]

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.

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.

You mean when you are moving ?

[Xinhuan]

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.
