  • About Fishing Buddy EBA
  •  

This is the "everything but anchovies" version -- the download contains all of the Fishing Buddy related add-ons in one convenient package.

This package includes the following add-ons:

Fishing Buddy (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11206/)
Fishing Buddy -- Bar Support (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11219/)
Fishing Buddy -- Merge Data (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11218/)
Fishing Buddy -- Outfit Frame (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11207/)
Fishing Buddy -- Tracking (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11217/)

A full-service fishing add-on.

A fishing addon that keeps track of the fish you catch and helps manage your fishing gear.

Features:
- 'Easy Cast' lets you double-right-click to cast when a Fishing Pole is equipped
'Easy Lures' will put a lure on if you need one
'Auto Loot' will turn on the auto-loot function if it's not on already (but only while you fish)
- 'Fish Watcher' lets you see the fish you've caught here before (or the fish that you've caught in the current session)
- Display your current skill level and the time since you started fishing
- Choose your fishing outfit and change into it easily
- Support for automatically adding a lure to your fishing pole
- Full Titan Panel support
- myAddOns support
- Preliminary support for tracking 'cycle fish' such as the Nightfin Snapper so you know when to go looking for them

Example commands:
/fishingbuddy or /fb
toggle the display of the Fishing Buddy window
/fb help
print the list of Fishing Buddy commands
/fb switch
wear your chosen fishing outfit, or change back

There are two actual add-ons -- the second one, OutfitDisplayFrame, handles the pretty pane to set up your fishing outfit (it's next on the list to be made into something more general that anyone can use). The OutfitDisplayFrame addon can be safely left out if you have a preferred equipment manager.

alt-clicking on an item in your outfit display will clear it

Silly stuff:
In addition to displaying the fishing bonus for your fishing outfit, it also displays your 'style points' as inferred from Draznar's Fishing FAQ (http://wow.toshimo.com/viewtopic.php?t=272).

    i cant get autocast to work anymore for some reason the option to turn it on is not checkable

    @Sutorix - Excellent thx working great now. BTW excellent addon

    @Bygone -- somehow Curse lost that 0.9.4j was the default. It's been updated and should work correctly now...

  • May 6, 2008, 05:20AM (5 days, 17 hours ago)

    Why does Curse Client install the ancient 0.8.9 instead of 0.9.4j??? this is mega annoying.

    @marzy88 -- FB supports FuBar, Titan and InfoBar. Obviously, you're not going to use more than one "bar" add-on -- the bar addons you don't use won't be on your machine, hence their missing, and FB won't integrate with them. Since you don't *have* them, it doesn't matter. Feel free to delete them if they bother you, but it doesn't hurt anything for them to be there without their associated bar addon.

    @Velliera -- that's weird, I have no problems downloading the lastest version...

  • May 4, 2008, 09:00PM (1 week ago)

    says im missing a dependency for info bar is it just titan?

  • May 3, 2008, 04:09PM (1 week, 1 day ago)

    Been trying to download this after the last update. The download button just sends me to the bottom of the page. :(

    @all -- the new fishing hat support should work just fine (I don't actually have a hat, but I tested it with another "use" item :-)

  • April 27, 2008, 05:05AM (2 weeks ago)

    @bluédrache -- you should've just waited a bit :-) The new version has an "Always Lure" option which does what you would expect. It should also handle the new fishing hat (but I haven't been able to test it yet -- working on getting there!)

  • April 21, 2008, 12:31PM (2 weeks, 6 days ago)

    I want to ALWAYS use a lure. If I go fishing in the outlands, I miss the first cast all the time and that's costing me money. This "wait until we fail" is unacceptable, since I always fail the first shot. Modified code below as a dirty hack until author decides to add the "Always use Lure" option as promised long ago.

    -- override the error message method (need an object as the first arg)
    local function UIError_AddMessage( o, msg, a, r, g, b, hold )
    -- If we should be hiding the can't use item error, then do so
    if ( TestingLures and msg == ERR_CANT_USE_ITEM ) then
    -- We have the can't use item error, so abort
    return;
    end
    -- if the fish gets away, try adding a lure
    if ( GetSetting("EasyLures") == 1 ) then
    -- BlueDrache added this for always use a lure.
    DoEscaped = 1;
    -- End of add
    if ( msg == ERR_FISH_ESCAPED ) then
    DoEscaped = 1;
    elseif ( msg == SPELL_FAILED_LOW_CASTLEVEL ) then
    -- put on the biggest lure we can find
    LureState = table.getn(lureinventory);
    DoLure = lureinventory[LureState];
    end
    end
    --Call the original
    local obj = SavedAddMessage.obj;
    local method = SavedAddMessage.method;
    return method( obj, msg, a, r, g, b, hold );
    end

    Missing the first cast costs you money? I don't understand how you lose anything but at most 20 seconds of time.

  • April 30, 2008, 09:32PM (1 week, 4 days ago)

    hes complaining about losing that 8 copper from missed fish... i could say lots of things but im not going to bother. complaining about the lure thing just shows hes plain to damn lazy to apply a lure himself.

  • May 1, 2008, 12:33PM (1 week, 3 days ago)

    Huh. You lose money when you miss fish? I never noticed that. Of course 8 copper isn't gonna hurt ANYbody. Good grief. However I would say... what's the purpose in losing 8 copper? Did the fish jump out of the water, pick your pocket, then jump back into the lake? *giggle* Not that I mind, I just think it's funny.

    Just wanted to verify / agree that PingDir does stop the dbl-click cast on Fishing Buddy. Thanks Ferusnox, u saved me a lot of time. I was going to disable all my addons and slowly add them back in. Heh.

  • April 16, 2008, 01:58PM (3 weeks, 4 days ago)

    i update and the tooltip problem is still there. also there is a major issue with applying lures to fishing poles. It will not auto put on a lure period until after I put on a lure then it wants to auto put on a lure every other cast its very annoying. Also noticed that fishing pools options does not work either. Everything else does lol. Great mod keep up the work.

  • April 16, 2008, 01:12PM (3 weeks, 4 days ago)

    Earlier I had posted an issue with item tooltips when I had my fishing rod equipped. Since then, the problem has not recurred, and it has cleared itself up.... and I have not updated fishing buddy either. So I am suppose it was some sort of mod conflict? I do not know which. Just thought I'd let you know.

  • April 15, 2008, 11:06PM (3 weeks, 4 days ago)

    Ferusnox, I have PingDir in my addonfolders as well and double right clicking doesn't work for me either. Will try to see if it works if I disable PingDir.

    [edit]When I disable PingDir addon, it works. Strange, but true ^^ [/edit]

    @Sutorix, this mod still has a following over on Wow UI, but they think you have abandoned them since it hasn't been updated since 0.9.4a. I placed a comment over there that you were now supporting it here and posted the link to point here too. I love this mod but by abandoning WoW UI I really had to search all the mod sites to find where you keeping it upto date! I'm just glad I could sleuth my way to you! :)

  • April 14, 2008, 03:37PM (3 weeks, 6 days ago)

    Ok more messing around and it turned out to be PingDir instead of Druidbar. My guess is folks with addons that impact pinging on the minimap may be having similar difficulties with double-click casting...but its just a guess :)

  • April 14, 2008, 12:23AM (3 weeks, 6 days ago)

    I have been messing with turning mods on and off to figure out where the conflict is. Thought I narrowed it down to Druidbar, but when I reactivate all my mods besides druidbar it still doesn't work. Which means either I had the wrong mod conflict or their are multiple conflicts. I'll keep trying to narrow it down and report what I find.

    I would suggest everyone do the same, and perhaps the author can find the commonalities that are causing the conflict.
