Fishing Buddy
 

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

Yet another fishing support add-on. It's a combination of TackleBox,
Impp's Fishing Info and a fishing outfit manager all rolled into one. I
wrote it both to provide some functionality that was missing from all
of the other fishing add-ons I was using and to learn to do add-ons.

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
- Simplified casting support (right click to cast, fast recast)
- 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).

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.

Version 0.8.4a
 

This release fixes a problem with changing back into outfits with two identical weapons dual-wielded.

- is FB's setting a per-toon setting basis, not a per-server/user setting? Cause it seems like all the setting I have to change it on every characters that I have on the same server. I'm not sure, I actually like setting share acrossed... just like Atlas's minimap location setting across all my toons.

- do you plan to change the default minimap icon location? It's currently overlapping the meeting stone.

- there seems to be a compatibility issue with chatscoll mod. I always get this message:
Interface\AddOns\ChatScroll\ChatScroll.lua:210:attempt to concatenate field `?' (a nil value)

FB Settings, minimap location, icon, chatscroll
 

@woofiest - the settings are all per-toon-per-realm, and the fish data is stored globally.

I have changed the default for the minimap icon to the lower right -- I've thought about having it saved across toons, but my Warlock has different things around the minimap, for example.

I will go get a copy of ChatScroll and see what I can find out.

Fishing Buddy Version 0.8.4b
 

- Fixed some small glitches when creating a new toon

fishing buddy
 

I HAVE JUST RECENTLY WELL TODAY INSTALLED "Fishing Buddy AND IT IS FANTASTIC I HAVE FOUND A SLIGHT GLITCH.. I WAS FISHING IN UNDERCITY AND CAUGHT "OLD SKULL" EVERY TIME I PASTE THIS ITEM TO SOMEONE VIA THE FISHING BUDDY FISH LIST IT KICKS ME OFF THE GAME I HAVE TO RELOG INTO IT :( ANY CHANCE IN THIS BEING SORTED ANY TIME SOON IT IS A VERY GOOD ADDON I MUST SAY THOUGH.. ILL JUST HAVE TO REFRAIN FROM PASTING THE SKULL FOR NOW.. THANKS FOR THE NICE MOD

Fishing Buddy 0.8.6b
 

Version 0.8.6b
- Update for patch 1.10 (11000)
- Partial Spanish translation, thanks to fili
- Some fixes that now don't make much difference because of 1.10

Version 0.8.6a
- Fixes for handling Eternium enchant correctly
- Fix bug in 'Suit up and go fishing' handler

Version 0.8.6
- Rework easy cast to work with 1.10 -- no dice yet though :-(
- Add "Suit up and go fishing" binding for an alternate 1.10 when "Easy Cast" no longer works
- Outfitter support
- Translation handling completely rewritten to eliminate missing strings
in translations
- Fix for Eternium Line enchant (the tooltip string changed)

Typo
 

FishingTrackingFrame.lua:210

the parameter 'id' should be 'item' (the formatted string "id:0:0:0")

Without this, the icon legends in the graph have malformed infolinks.

Error Message
 

I have had to remove the new version of Fishing Buddy086f from my mods because during the Sunday Fishing Extravaganza the following error message pops up on the screen and clicking OK does not remove it.

"...nterface\AddOns\FishingBuddy\FishingExtravaganza.lua:340: bad argument #5 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)"

Right Click Cast
 

I am so glad to have this feature back - only I have to use it with a modifier now, as when I right click to loot, it ignores the loot and casts again. Am I doing something wrong? interference from another addon? Anyone else with this issue?

Fast Cast after patch 1.10.1
 

Fast cast does not work after the latest patch -- turn it off and everything will be fine -- the next version won't have it.

Thanks,

Sutorix

Problem with time
 

When I started using FB it showed the time that I had been fishing.

But after installing the latest FB it has stopped working.
I would relly like to get it back - am I doing something wrong?

I just noticed that myself -- it will be back in the next release!

new error with patch 1.11
 

...Interface\AddOns\FishingBuddy\FishingLocationsFrame.lua:259: attempt to index local `textfield' (a nil value)

basically it makes all your fishing catches unable to be seen from the locations tab, but when you are in an area where you have fished, the HUD that comes up with the breakdown for that area still displays correctly.

Updates?
 

I'd sure love to see a version of this that works with the current UI rules and/or doesn't collide with my other mods (CTmod and Outfitter seem like the likeliest if the problem is a collision).

As of last night when I saw and tried the latest version, QuickCast doesn't work, the fishing outfit switch (triggered by FB or by Outfitter) makes a noise but doesn't switch to my fishing pole, the auto-auto-loot doesn't work, in fact the only thing that seems to be working is the text on the LHS of the screen reporting my current skill - but even that doesn't update as I skill up during a fishing session.

Great Addon, thx 4 this.

On lvl 70, you get many "Sharpened Fish Hook" (german: "Geschärfter Angelhaken") as a lure.
But they dont work with auto-lure of FB :(
Could u fix this?

When i set the options to use action to cast and auto lure an autoloot i can no longer right click the lure to active the "catch". I have to compleely log out to get my right click back as reet binding to default doesnt fix it. Iremoved FB and going to try a fresh install after deleteing everything from the data.

Installing the latest version fixes that.

Any plans on updating this to work with the latest patch perchance?

I do miss this mod as well.

The latest version is over at Curse.. works great, too!

Error
 

Periodically I'll get the following error, even when I'm not doing -anything-.

The latest version is here too!
 

It took several days of trying, but I managed to get the site to take it a few days ago :-)

I'll look into the AceEvent error, but I'm not sure what's going on there yet.

Please add tracking fish
 

Plaese add the ability to automaticaly change to tracking fish when you turn fishing buddy on and back to what was being tracked before when its turned off. iv looked at the programing required its not hard. I concidered just adding it to mine but i don't have the time :)

and i love the add-on :banana:

I get this error when going in to the tracking tab

Does this addon require Titan Panel to work? I just got an error stating something about a dependency missing (TP).

I am not sure if this is actual bug or not, but the moment i installed the mod, even after switching the mod off, my ability to track fish via the fish finder has completely stopped working, whether the mod is on or off, yet before i installed the mod it was working properly.

It could also be a problem with carbonite too. Which as lost its credibility for me recently, as I discovered a large number of discrepancies with quests etc, i'll try switching off carbonite see if its causing the problem of which it shouldn't since it was working just before i installed the mod.

What do the 3+ lines do while using FB?
 

Well, I can figure out a bit of it.

Elapsed: 00:08:49/00:08:50
Elwynn Forest : Crystal Lake 1 (7%)
Total: 25 | Skill: 26+0 [26] (0/~1)
(Lines about the fish caught)

I can figure out a bit of it. It's the ends of the lines that are confusing.
What do the '1 (7%)' on the second line and the (0/~1) on the third line mean?

I believe that "1 (7%)" means that you have caught one fish in Crystal Lake sub-zone, which is 7% of your total catches in Elwynn Forest.

"(0/~1)" shows how many catches (approximately) left until skill up. It doesn't make much sense while every item/fish caught gives a skill point, but when you're at say 250+ skill and need to catch several fishes to skill up, having that counter helps.

"Right Click Casting" seems to not be an option anymore? I was wondering if this is new or something Blizzard implemented while I was on hiatus.

I believe it was remove awhile back.

The author of Astrolabe sent me a beta of a version for 4.0.3 -- the beta is up on curse.com for testing now.

MissedFish Items[43653] = "Partially Eaten Fish";

P.S.
Grrrr @ stupid filter.

P.P.S.
Why not detect failed attempts by item quality? If any of the items in the catch are of poor quality, it was failed attempt.

Because, unfortunately, not all poor quality "fish" mean that you missed a catch. Steam pump debris and Sickly looking fish, for example.

-Sut

Hey Sutorix. Could I ask for a big, big favour? I'm managing a mod link pack for a few people and a lot of how it works revolves around them not having to use slash commands or minimap icons, they use LDB and BlizzOptions for everything.

Would it be possible to add a launcher button for the options via the BlizzOptions frame? I'm not at all asking for al options to be moved over there, but simply to have a launcher button to get at it, so that people know how to without /fb.

Feel free to disregard this if that's too much of a hassle. (And I imagine that it may be.)

I will see what I can do :-)

problems with fishing line "enchants" not totalling correctly!!
 

Hi.. have been using FB and am quite pleased, however, after getting 3rd place in the STV contest and adding the +5 eternium line, I noticed that things didnt add up correctly.. I have the bone fishing pole with eternium line.. so should be 35, plus the boots of the bay at 15 plus... that would be 50 and add angler from the gloves and it should be plus 55; it only shows a plus 50... I have another toon with the arcanite fishing rod with the same problem.

Fish Watcher not showing
 

I love the add-on, but just this week I noticed that for some reason my Fish Watcher information isn't showing when I am fishing. Did something change, or is there some way to see if it might be hidden for some reason and I can make it show again? My Fish Watcher option is checked. Not sure why it disappeared on me...

Try /fb watcher reset as per the comments on the "other" addons website, I had this issue too and so have a few others it seems, since a patch or update
