- Per-family mount sounds (kodo, tallstrider, mechanostrider, etc.) detected from M2 model path
- Skip WMO groups with SHOW_SKYBOX flag or all-untextured batches (grey mesh in Orgrimmar)
- Freeze physics during taxi landing until terrain loads to prevent falling through void
- Disable bone animations on tropical vegetation (palm, bamboo, banana, etc.) to fix wiggling
- Snap player to final taxi waypoint on flight completion
- Extract mount aura spell ID from classic UNIT_FIELD_AURAS for CMSG_CANCEL_AURA dismount
- Increase /unstuck forward nudge to 5 units
Created specific idle sound pool using only horse snorts and whinnies.
Re-enabled idle sounds with much longer interval (20-40 seconds).
Changes:
- Added horseIdleSounds_ pool: mHorseStand3A (snort) + mHorseAggroA (whinny)
- Updated playIdleSound() to use dedicated pool instead of mixed breath sounds
- Increased idle sound interval from 8-15s to 20-40s (less frequent)
- Removed flying mount idle sounds (too aggressive)
- Increased volume slightly (0.35x) for better audibility
Implements WoW-style mount idle behavior when player is stationary:
- Fidget animations: discovered via property search (non-looping, 500-1500ms, stationary, IDs 1-10)
- Triggers random fidget every 6-12 seconds when standing still
- Ambient idle sounds: snorts/breaths for ground mounts, soft wing sounds for flyers
- Triggers random idle sound every 8-15 seconds when stationary
- Both systems reset timers on movement to avoid triggering while riding
Mount Sound System:
- Use actual creature sounds from MPQ (Horse, Ram, Wolf, Tiger, Dragons)
- Separate sound pools: jump (attack), landing (wound), rear-up (aggro)
- Mount family detection: HORSE, RAM, WOLF, TIGER, RAPTOR, DRAGON
- Family logged on mount for future per-family sound selection
Sound Mappings:
- Flying mounts: Dragon wing flaps + DragonHawk screeches
- Ground mounts: Horse attack (jump), wound (land), aggro (rear-up)
- Ready for family-specific sound selection (TODO)
Mount Lean:
- Procedural lean into turns for ground mounts
- Physics-based: turn rate × 0.15, max ±14°, 6x/sec blend
- Returns to upright when not turning or when flying
- Rider follows mount roll automatically via bone attachment
Mount Animation System:
- Property-based jump animation discovery using sequence metadata
- Chain linkage scoring (nextAnimation/aliasNext) for accurate detection
- Correct loop detection: flags & 0x01 == 0 means looping
- Avoids brake/stop animations via blendTime penalties
- Works on any mount model without hardcoded animation IDs
Mount Physics:
- Physics-based jump height: vz = sqrt(2 * g * h)
- Configurable MOUNT_JUMP_HEIGHT constant (1.0m default)
- Procedural lean into turns for ground mounts
- Smooth roll based on turn rate (±14° max, 6x/sec blend)
Audio Improvements:
- State-machine driven mount sounds (jump, land, rear-up)
- Semantic sound methods (no animation ID dependencies)
- Debug logging for missing sound files
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed mount animation sequencing (JumpStart → JumpLoop → JumpEnd)
- Fixed animation loop flag interpretation (0x20 vs 0x21)
- Rider bone attachment working correctly during all mount actions
Added full mount sound system with:
- Wing flap sounds for flying mounts (gryphon/wyvern) when moving
- Wing idle/hovering sounds when stationary in air
- Breathing/snorting sounds for ground mounts when idle
- Occasional whinny sounds for ground mounts when moving
Sounds are loaded from MPQ files and played via AudioEngine with
randomized pitch/volume variation. Mount sound manager tracks mount
type, movement state, and flying state to play appropriate ambient
sounds at natural intervals.
Updated setMounted() to accept creature display ID and notify the
mount sound manager, which uses display ID ranges to detect mount
type (flying vs ground).
Implement framework for playing mount sounds (flapping, galloping) based on mount type and movement state. Actual sound playback to be implemented next.
