Temp Fix for Shadowlands Mounts Not Being Able To Be Used Until Official Update
andersleet opened this issue ยท 0 comments
So since it hasn't been officially fixed yet AFAIK (mount not found error) I have found a way to fix it in the mean time. I am going to use Wildseed Cradle as the example here, and it will be labeled as WSC
. This is assuming you have the latest version of the addon installed, which should be v8.1.5.
- In game, with the addon enabled, open your mount collection window.
- While the window is open, find the mount that is not working, like
WSC
. Keep the window open. - Open your chat window, type
/id
(notice the space after) and then shift click the troubled mount, likeWSC
. - In your chat window you will get an
ID number
;WSC
is334352
. - Now that you have the
ID number
(regardless if it isWSC
or not) you need to navigate to your WoW Addon directory, and open theGoGoMountData.lua
file (EDIT: this file exists within theGoGoMount
folder) with your preferred text editor. NOTE: As always, before modifying a file make a backup copy in case something goes wrong. - Scroll down to around line 980 in the file.
What I did is add another commented section (-- shadowlands
) under the last section with version number but this is not necessary, just for organization. You can place the following lines wherever you want within the GoGo_Variables.MountDB = {***}
array.
Now, this is how you add a mount in the format of the addon. Note that the parts surrounded by <>
are what you need to plug in. Do not include either <
or >
; they are just to distinguish what needs to be changed.
-
For a flying mount, this is the format:
[<ID number from step 4>] = {[9] = true, [38] = true, [300]=true, [301]=true, [330]=true, [400]=true, [402]=true, [403]=true, [405]=true, [701]=true, [10001]=67, [10002]=160, [10003]=250, [10004]=67}, -- <Flying Mount Name>
-
For a ground mount, this is the format:
[<ID number from step 4>] = {[38] = true, [330]=true, [400]=true, [402]=true, [405]=true, [701]=true, [10001]=67, [10002]=160, [10004]=67}, -- <Ground Mount Name>
So just copy and paste the code above for whichever mount you are trying to fix into the GoGoMountData.lua
file (wherever in the GoGo_Variables.MountDB = {***}
array you choose, and replace the <>
with your ID number
and Mount Name
. After making these changes, save the file then reload your UI and your SL mounts when set as a favorite or global etc. should now work.
Here is what mine currently looks like:
-- shadowlands
[332252] = {[9] = true, [38] = true, [300]=true, [301]=true, [330]=true, [400]=true, [402]=true, [403]=true, [405]=true, [701]=true, [10001]=67, [10002]=160, [10003]=250, [10004]=67}, -- Shimmermist Runner
[334352] = {[9] = true, [38] = true, [300]=true, [301]=true, [330]=true, [400]=true, [402]=true, [403]=true, [405]=true, [701]=true, [10001]=67, [10002]=160, [10003]=250, [10004]=67}, -- Wildseed Cradle
[306423] = {[38] = true, [330]=true, [400]=true, [402]=true, [405]=true, [701]=true, [10001]=67, [10002]=160, [10004]=67}, -- Caravan Hyena
If there are other mount types and specific things that require a different template due to their traits. However, this should cover most of the SL mounts.
Hope this helps you guys!
