Fishing Buddy


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

Features: - '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

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).

Thanks to the authors of:

TackleBox -- the original! Impp's Fishing DB QuickWeaponSwap GuildMap

and many, many others!

1. Unzip the 'FishingBuddyVERSION.zip' file 2. If your unzip program allows you to specify a location, then unzip it into the 'Interface/AddOns' folder contained in your WoW folder (the location that WoW was installed) 3. If your unzip program doesn't let you specify the destination, then find your WoW folder (where it was installed) and drag the 'FishingBuddy' folder into the 'Interface/AddOns' folder.

    Still experiencing the same issue in the .o release as I posted about below on 1/29/2010. I'm willing to provide whatever information will help with the diagnosis of this issue, but don't know where to start. Is there a specific name for an equipment set in either Equipment Manager or Outfitter that Fishing Buddy looks for? Is there something specific in my setup I should check for?

    Also, I'm now running Fishing Buddy 0.9.8o and Outfitter 5.01b3...

    Is there anyway to reset fish list of what was caught if so how and if not Maybe think about implementing something like /fb resetlist

    I tried (/fb current reset) did nothing

    also i am unable to lock the wacher window no matter how i try it.

    Yes, you can use merge to "clean up" a database. Quit WoW. Backup up your SavedVariables/FishingBuddy.lua, restart WoW and do an '/fb merge force'. Quit WoW. Delete SavedVariables/FishingBuddy.lua, then restart WoW. It should load in a cleaner version of your database.



    Hi Sutorix,

    I tried your tool to clean my database. But it was completely cleaned :).I don't have any fish left in the end whereas in the file there are some. When I look at the content, I see nowhere in the file, in each "fish section" a variable that would contain the place where I got the fish. Did I something wrong ?

    Thanks in advance for your feedback and HAPPY NEW 2010 YEAR.

    Drak

  • I don't understand something about this addon.

    I have both Easy and Auto Lure checked, but nothing ever happens, even when I have lures in my bag (Bright Baubles in this case).

    Is it due to Blizz's ban from auto switching weapons for the Rogues (and also killed many aauto-ammo changers for Hunters like me) ?

    Or is it something else I don't see? [I use a Strong Fishing Pole, if that matters]

    The Tasty fish counter for the extravaganza isn't working because of a bug in FishingBuddy.Extravaganza.OnUpdate()

    It does a call to GetItemCount(CurrentContest.id) to find out the number of fish caught but the correct variable name is CurrentContest.fishid

    I guess this bug has gone undetected since GetItemCount() for some reason allows a null value to be used as a parameter.

    My bad. I've been changing jobs and haven't been fishing on Sundays (and I haven't caught a shark on Saturday yet! :-)

    Fixed release in its way.

    It used to switch from fishing gear back to normal gear now all it will do is switch from my outfit to fishing gear. I tried both outfitter and eq manager still same problem is there a new naming scheme the outfits have to be named? that is why i used it so much to quickly switch from one set to another

    I'm having an odd issue, and this also seems to be affecting one of my guild mates. I have used Fishing Buddy for a LONG time, and on all of my toons except one, it works as it should. However, I have one toon where the minimap button click to toggle outfits does nothing. I use the Outfitter addon, and have an outfit named "Fishing" set up with the appropriate items in it. All of my toons are set up that way. On this particular toon, nothing happens when I click the FB minimap icon. All other toons properly switch in and out of their fishing outfits.

    I turned my guild-mate on to Fishing Buddy, however, he can't get the outfit switching to work on any of his toons. We've both tried just using wow's equipment manager rather than Outfitter, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running FB 0.9.8n and Outfitter 4.10.

    I love this add its is the best I have tried. I have noticed some random things not at 100% not big stuff but when you turn on the fishing fun toggle and select a specific pet you would like to summon it will not, but if you set it to random it works. And the larger of the two the Auto Lure will only work for the first lure after that it will not apply a lure.

    Not sure if it's just me, but every now and then when I zone into an Instance, my main weapon gets replaced by my fishing pole. This is with FB outfitter and not Bliz Equip Mngr. Should I use Bliz one instead? Gets frustrating fighting a few mobs then realizing my fishing pole is out.

    And I know for a fact my main weapon is right before I enter the instance.

    @LaoTseu -- I think you're right about the fish caught vs. skill up. I'll spin up a new toon and get that fixed. The luring issue is harder -- I'm working on it now, with pre-translated lure types. I hope to have something ready soon. Thanks for the report!

    My pleasure, let me know if there is any way I can help you in the diagnostic.

    Hello Sutorix,

    I've notice a few problems with FB. It's isn't anything new but I haven't seen them reported before.

    First, when use the Fish Watcher with Current Skill, there is an approximate number of catches before leveling with the current number of catches. Something like (5/10). The current number of catches is not calculated properly, it count the number of fish caught instead of the number of successful casts. When fishing for a daily, the quest fishes are counted as extra. Same with the pygmy fishes.

    Second, FB doesnt's appear to be able to detect the current fishing pole buff properly. I'm using Easy Lure and Always Lure. Often, FB will not put the lure up at the first try. It will also always choose the hat lure (+75) event though I have +100 lures in my bags and +75 is not enough to get me to 100%. If I already have a +100 lure active, FB will apply ignore it and apply the +75 hat lure the first time I fish a grey item. The waisting a +100 lure with a +75 is very annoying.

    In any case, thanks for a great addon.

    is there a trick to getting it to loot when you have caught something, then recast? Do i need to make a fishing outfit? Seems to not do anything at all for me
