[ANSWERED] singular not syncing with in game special mount

[harryturf]

I have been searching for solution to this but has yet found any working method.

The problem occurs because of one special in game mechanic and how singular (the combat routine) works.

The existence of this bug will not affect the game experience entirely, but it does affect the amount of farm it yeilds, which I will explain latter.

There are two reasons combined that caused this problem:

1, Singular will always cancel the current mount before it enters a fight.
2, In Nagrand, there is an optional reward from structures: telaari talbuk mount, which makes it possible for characters to stay mounted (100% movement speed) in nagarand while in combat.

normally in game you cannot stay mounted while in combat, but this is the special occasion where you can.
However singular cannot recognize this special mount so it will always dismount before combat.
just like that:
[16:14:49.315 N] (Singular) YourCurrentPet: #0, Name=Meet.DBD5, Level=100, Type=Beast, Talents=
[16:14:49.086 D] Stop and dismount... Reason: Combat

with my understanding the way to fix this is to add a few lines of code to check if the player is on telaari talbuk, if no try to mount him with it, if yes skip the dismount process.
The result of fixing this bug would make farming in nagarand a lot faster with that 100%movement speed boost.

I attached a log to further explain the situation though i doubt it would be more specific than what I explained.View attachment 10000 2016-06-14 11.55.txt

Hi, HarryTurf,

There are no plans to support the 'non dismount' abilities of the Talaari Talbuk and Frostwolf War Wolf mounts, ever.

We opened a feature request HB-1583("Telaari Talbuk/Frostwolf War Wolf support") over 18 months ago for this. The senior staff declined the request with this comment:

"The development team has decided to not add these mounts, since it's technically not a mount (Doesn't show up in list of known mounts, and /dismount (we believe) doesn't dismount from this). The 'mount' is a zone-wide only buff and a lot of Botbases/CRs will dismount before combat. So, if this was recognized and treated as a mount by HBcore then there would be no benefit in use this over any other mount because of getting dismounted while in combat. This should instead be left to the CR, Botbase or a plugin to support."​

HBcore does not dismount to engage in combat. That decision is left to each Combat Routine author. You are welcome to try to make a feature request into the Singular thread, and other Combat Routines.

cheers,
