MountSwap (0.8.9)

AI disclosure: MountSwap was developed with AI-assisted code generation using OpenAI Codex. It has been tested through automated checks and in-game use. Please report issues through the addon comments.

MOUNTSWAP
Your favorite mounts, ready when you are.

Keep four Multi-Rider and four Single-Rider favorites in one convenient stable. Browse your unlocked mounts, select a favorite or choose a random mount, with keyboard, mouse and PC controller support. Seven interface languages are included, with an Automatic option that follows ESO.

QUICK START
1. Download and extract the ZIP.
2. Place the MountSwap folder in Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns.
3. Confirm the manifest is directly at AddOns/MountSwap/MountSwap.txt, without an extra nested folder.
4. Enable MountSwap in ESO. Restart ESO if it does not detect the new folder.
5. Type /ms to open your stable, then choose your favorites.

RECOMMENDED LIBRARY
No libraries are required.

LibAddonMenu-2.0 by Seerah, sirinsidiator and contributors provides the keyboard Settings > AddOns panel. Release r43 (AddOnVersion 43) was tested and is recommended. Standalone controls and controller settings work without it. Install the library separately; it is not bundled.

libAddonKeybinds by merlight, Baertram and votan, and Votans Keybinder by votan, are separate optional integrations for opening or searching keybindings. Neither is required or bundled.

YOUR FAVORITE MOUNTS

Save four Multi-Rider favorites (M1M4) and four Single-Rider favorites (S1S4).
Choose from searchable lists of your unlocked mounts.
Click a favorite slot to change it, or Use to select its saved mount.
Select a random usable mount, excluding your currently selected mount.
Request a free passenger seat on the nearest eligible group members multi-rider mount. ESO controls eligibility, range and availability.

SELECTING AND RIDING
Saving a favorite does not summon it. Use or a favorite shortcut selects that mount; press ESOs normal mount key to ride.

MountSwap responds to your actions. It does not automate movement or combat, make purchases, or bypass protected-action restrictions.

CONTROLS AND COMMANDS
/ms Open MountSwap.
/m1 through /m4 Select a Multi-Rider favorite.
/s1 through /s4 Select a Single-Rider favorite.
/mountswap settings Open settings.
/mountswap debug Show diagnostic information.

The nine short commands are editable in settings, with conflict checks and Reset to Defaults. Original /mountswap, /mountswap1 through /mountswap8, /mountswapr and /mountswapp commands remain available.

Assign your own keys in Controls > Keybindings. A separate Open MountSwap (controller) action is provided. MountSwap does not assign or overwrite your existing player bindings.

PC CONTROLLER NAVIGATION
Set ESO Gamepad Mode to Automatic or On. Use the D-pad or left stick to move the focus outline. Native ESO button icons show Select, Back, Details and contextual actions; shoulders and triggers provide navigation where applicable.

Controller settings reuse the addons settings options. Controller text-entry helpers are used where available, with a keyboard fallback. Controller input is released when the relevant window closes, input mode changes or text editing requires it.

Escape dismisses MountSwap; press Escape again to open ESOs normal menu. Controller hints include a separate, compact direction row and adjustable text size.

LANGUAGES AND TRANSLATION HELP
Interface languages: Automatic (follow ESO), English, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. Unsupported client language codes fall back to English. Choose a manual language in settings, then Reload UI. ESO supplies mount names and descriptions in the game clients language.

Mount classification uses ESO Collections metadata when available. Manage mount categories provides a manual fallback when classification needs review.

Translations are AI-drafted and have dictionary and formatting-placeholder checks. Native-speaker review and complete in-game font/layout verification across all seven languages remain unverified. Corrections are welcome through Comments; include the current wording, suggested wording and a screenshot where possible.

UPDATING AND SAVED DATA
Exit ESO, privately back up your existing MountSwap SavedVariables, then replace only live/AddOns/MountSwap with the new addon folder. Preserve live/SavedVariables.

Existing favorites, settings, account/server profiles and saved OFF preferences are preserved. The addon download contains no personal SavedVariables or backups. Do not post your full SavedVariables publicly.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Long mount names can truncate in single-line rows. Controller Details shows the complete name.
Tested in-game on Windows PC, including PC controller navigation. Other controllers, bindings and layouts may still need adjustments. Mac remains unverified; this is not a console release.
Translations are AI-drafted. Native-speaker review and complete localized font/layout verification remain unverified.
ESO API changes may require future compatibility updates.
