Honorbuddy Suggestion for Mounts

[skinny]

So several versions of HB ago, you used to be able to type in whatever you wanted in the "Mount" section of "Settings & Tools"

Now, there is a drop down list...

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a very neat feature, with one big caveat...

It doesn't include "Dual Purpose" mounts in both lists. If it can fly AT ALL, it's listed exclusively as a flying mount, and not made available as a ground mount.

There are several mounts I have that can be either/or, and the ones I use the most as a low level character are included in those... A few that come to mind:

Obsidian Nightwing
Winged Guardian
Hearthsteed
Dread Raven

I'm sure there are many more...

Is there any way for the devs to look into this, and possibly add dual use mounts to both lists in a future rev of HB?

I'd appreciate it, as I'm sure some other users would as well!

Thanks for your consideration!

they have some issues with flying mounts being used as ground mounts (HB bug not WOW)

not sure what is it but limit of not using flying mounts as ground is here a long time (over a year) and before when you had text field for entry and could force it it could bug somehow

PS can somebody link detailed description why flying cant be used as ground mount (some "edge cases" were mentioned but nothing detailed enough to find solution/fix)

Im pretty sure this was added to the last release. The thing they should really look into is the "Use mount" button.

It was reading this like, there's a dropdown? Just noticed it. You do lose the ability to type in the mount's id, or type its name, but if you can't spell to save your life like me a dropdown is a nice solution.

Also, the devs have stated quite a few times that they don't want hybrid mounts being used at all. All they really did were cause issues with no real gain to them. They would have to code in a way for the bot to "understand" that it's on a hybrid mount. Without something like that it's easy for the bot to accidentally start flying in a few situations which never looked good or did anything but confuse the bot. As for a Use Mount button, I think there was one, but any botbase that is going to fly, will fly if you specify a mount. Ex: Gatherbuddy is obviously going to fly, Grindbot will not, Questing bot's flying is completely controlled by the profile designer or you will have a bad time, ... etc.
