About FishPing

{{{

!html

ping-on-fish-bite. very helpful if you're fishing alone.
(maybe doesn't work on mac-client.)

there are 5 versions (since v1.2). "Normal", "A bit Louder", "Loud", "Louder" and "Blasting".
try first the "Normal" version. in the most cases it's enough loud.

simply copy the whole "Sound" folder with all his sub-directories
into your WoW Data folder. you should end up with something like this:

C:\YourWoWFolder\Data\Sound\Spells\TradeSkills\FishBite.wav
example img: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2220/fishbite8so.png

it works this way! if you're just reading here and you're confused
now. download the addon, unzip it and READ AGAIN. }}}

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

No daxdax, just reinstalled it under my 2.4.1 frFR client, works like in the past, make sure to read carefully the readme.txt file, this does not install like a standart addon.

Can somebody please post the exact specific WoW sound settings (2.2) for best using this mod whilst having the fewest other in-game sounds? I generally keep in-game sounds off, but when i fish, this mod is invaluable.. but all the extraneous sounds are an annoyance, so I would like to minimize them. I'm just not sure exactly which settings do what.
Thanks!

ladybiggs, the sound file(s) works fine for me. you may have to create the directories yourself.
here's what works on my box...
World of Warcraft\Data\Sound\Spells\Tradeskills\fishbite.wav
good luck :)

Seems that with the version upgrades, there's no longer a sounds directory. Unless they've just moved it to somewhere else... Is there a specific place this should be added or does there need to be an actual script made to incorporate these sounds?

My bad, I completely restarted the game and now it works :)
So what you have to do is pick the folder from the downloaded zipped file for sound level, ie. Normal, A bit louder, etc. and then follow the file folders down until you read the SOUND folder. Copy that folder and paste in you WoW DATA folder :)

I didn't find the folder either. I took the SOUND folder from the download and put it in the DATA folder thinking that might be the answer. Still doesn't work. Any other ideas? Does anyone have this working?

Can we get Fishping added back to the downloads? There is no mirror for it.
Will the old version work with WoW 2.0?
I really need to get this mod back as I lost my copy when system died on me.
Thanks,

it must be an old screenshot. i don't use FB anymore, but i'm sure there was an option for "enhancing sounds while fishing".
and no, it's no possible to make your fishping sounds different from others besides you. sorry

Hi kind of new to this. I used this for a while but I was getting very weird sound levels while I am in my fishing outfit. I use fish buddy too so not sure if that was the problem. I want to know if there is any place I can fix my sound files back to the original setting without having to reinstall WOW like Blizzard tells me is the only way. Of course i didn't keep the original files cuz I am dumb so how do I get it back to normal without losing all my setups and stuff. I guess I am asking for a copy of my original sound folder. And to that guy who says this is bannable. How can you say this is exploit and bannable? it is just making the sound louder it is not auto catching the fish or anything.
