Fishing Buddy
-------------

Yet another fishing support add-on.

Support thread: Fishing Buddy

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

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
Updated from duplicate postin: HERE.
Check there for updates if this falls behind.

Thanks to the authors of:

TackleBox -- still adding cool features to keep up with!
Impp's Fishing DB
QuickWeaponSwap

and many, many others!

Feel free to send comments to Sutorix on the Windrunner server.

Installation
------------

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' and 'OutfitDisplayFrame' folder into the
'Interface/AddOns' folder.

Hey I have a weird question.

I've been using this mod for years. A few days ago, I downloaded an update to it, I think it was either the one on curse or the one on wowui, and when I got into the game it showed a "Totals" line for the current area I was fishing in along with the rest of the normal stuff it shows in the fishing window. Last night I downloaded the newest update to it, and the Totals line was gone.

Are there two different versions of this addon by the same author? I know that I've seen Fishing Buddy "EBA" and just "Fishing Buddy". I just thought they were named differently because they were on different addon websites. Anyone else run into this?

Maybe I'm just missing something, but the addon disables the "click to move", which is good cause I hate when I miss the bob and run in to the water...but it doesn't seem to turn it back on after. Is there an option somewhere I'm not seeing?

Was I imagining things, or did FB used to have a line in the tracking window that would tell you approximately how many catches it would take till your next skillup and how many you had caught so far since your last skillup (eg: 5/12 would mean 5 catches since last skillup, a total of ~12 needed till next skillup.)

Is that feature still a part of FB? Because I can't find how to turn it on if it is, and I thought it was a nice touch.

Sound in Background

I quit wow for a couple months, just came back to find that you added "Sound in Background" while fishing. That's great, thanks! I love fishing while minimized, just gotta be quick when you hear that bobber go off.

Item of note

Found this while questing in Grizzly Hills...

There is a quest called "Mounting Up" that has an item named "Stick" to use for catching horses. The stick item is not listed as a Fishing Pole for its type or subtype so I am assuming Fishing Buddy is looking at the item texture to determine what is and is not a fishing pole. This "Stick" item has the pole icon and triggers Fishing Buddy when equipped.

Here is a Wowhead link to the item:

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37708

It doesn't cause errors to occur, but does bring up the fishing frame, which was a little odd when it happened

New Mastercraft Pole Compatiblility?

I just began using the new mastercraft pole from the Kalu'ak, and found that it didn't work with my old fishing mod. I downloaded this fishing mod with high expectations from the great reviews.

But I am sad - the double click function does not work with my new shiny epic pole. I don't think I am doing something wrong (at 450 fishing, I'd hope that I know what I'm doing by now), so I am guessing that this pole is not registering with the mod.

Is it me, doing something wrong with my double right clicking? Or is it my new pole, being just too new and not in the mod? And if the latter is the case, any ideas on when the mod could be updated? I am soooo spoiled with double clicking - hey, at least I admit it....

Thank you - and thanks for a wonderful mod. I like the extra data that it collects and provides.

One click?

Is it possible to make it fish with just one click?
So that after you have clicked the bobble once and autolooted it casts the fishing skill, so i wont have to double click.

Thanks for a great addon.

Why don't you make a mod that simply changes the tracking to fish when you equip a pole?
