Ya, I know the idea has been tossed around for a while, but no real effort put into doing it that I have seen. Doesn't seem like it would be too hard. I am not exactly sure what to do yet, but I figure looking at pets might give us a good start.

I think the idea to have it set size based on the client is a good one. But, I figured it would be good to allow them to be set manually per race as well. Just incase someone wanted to use a global model as a custom mount (if any actually fit closely). Maybe setting the table size settings to 0 would let the server use the race size to automatically set a size for the mount, but anything over 0 would be used to set the size manually. It would be similar to using a rule, if that is possible. The only thing I am unsure about for setting size manually is what happens if the character shrinks/grows? Would the mount be able to scale properly with that? Maybe some extra code would be needed for shrink/grow and other #size changes.
