---INTRODUCTION---

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear.... A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty 'Hi-yo Silver!'

Remember when you first got to the 40th level and could now buy a mount? Remember grtinding till you were about 44th level and rich enough to afford it? Remember going to Eastvale Logging Camp or Merethil Harbor and picking out a horse (other races, just play along)? Remember making up a macro that went

/say To me, my fiery charger!
/use Black Stallion Bridle

Then remember hitting level 50 and working your way into Un'Goro Crater? Arriving at the Gryphon master... 'To me, my fiery charger!' Finding a Rich Thorium Deposit that, miraculously, hadn't been harvested by a Draenel Shaman Jewelcrafter? Dismounting, mining... 'To me, my fiery charger!' A few feet away, seeing a yellow power crystal, which you needed lots of? Dismounting, opening... 'To me, my fiery charger!' Oops, right next to it was a Bloodpetal Sprout you hadn't seen! Dismounting, opening... 'To me, my fiery charger!' Whoa! A Diemetrodon attacks! Dismounting, fighting... 'To me, my fiery charger!'

Well. Even I got tired of my own macro after that. Yet I did enjoy saying something upon mounting, at the edge of a city perhaps, and I thought it added color to my character. (I role-play. It's a role-playing server in a role-playing game. Get a clue.) In fact, I could imagine saying different things when I mounted. A useful little AddOn called 'QuickMountEquip' came my way and I knew that you could do things automatically when you hitched up your horse. So, a little later, HiyoSilver was born.

---WHAT IT DOES---

HiyoSilver allows you to make up a list of clever things to say when you mount or dismount your horse (or mechanical Forest Strider, or jungle cat, or what-have-you). It also imposes a cooldown timer. Mount up within five minutes (the default) of having said your line and you will simply get back on your mount, silently.

Patch notes for HiyoSilver
v1.2.0
Updated TOC to be loadable by client version 2.1. This isn't really necessary as you can just say 'Load out-of-date AddOns,' but it helps people who don't know that, and there were some minor localization changes too.

Also added the specific emotes. You can now /whistle for your horse, be /happy when he shows up, and wave everyone /farewell!
Needs localization with more than just BabelFish entries!

Wants testing with different mounts, also one character with more than one mount.

This is a very cool mod and one I use.. But will you be making the areas scrollable? It does get hard to edit things when the text is over lapping. You could place them side by side instead.

The mod is not meant for non-roleplayers. But then I did a pretty good job of stating that in the Introduction, I think.

Pretty useless and got annoying. No bugs, though.
