About Fishing Buddy

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
- 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).

    I've uploaded a ticket and a screenshot, but curious if anyone else has seen this weirdness?  When fishing buddy is enabled, parts of the graphics options get pushed into the upper left corner.  I've disabled all addons except fishing buddy to verify it is indeed fishing buddy.  When I turn off FB, this doesn't happen (functionality of the screen reverts to normal).  I also have all of the additional plugins for fishing buddy to verify this test.

    Love this addon, am also using your Tracker plugin. 2 Questions for you..

     

    Is there a downloadable database of all the fish locations or do i have to build this from scratch? my old memory cant remember where to go when i want certain fish anymore  ;)

    Also i have driftwood showing in the tracking section graph, how do i remove something??

  • #1918

    Not sure if this helps or not, but here's what I've noticed from my own experience with FB losing it's EasyCast functionality. If any event other than the loot window display comes through, EasyCast stops for me. What I mean is:

    • if I get a skill-up, EasyCast stops
    • if I loot something I caught (most noticed when looting a quest fish), EasyCast stops
    • if any sort of buff/debuff expires, EasyCast stops

    It's really acting like the code preventing an accidental cast while the loot window is open gets somehow broken by numerous events. It is my hope that this helps identify where to look in the addon for the source of this issue.

     

    Other than that, I have loved FB ever since I started using it (for years, now). I would be lost and hate fishing if I was no longer able to use this addon.

  • #1919

    Further observation that may help: AutoLoot (at least, using shift-click on the bobber) does NOT lose the EasyCast function, even when a skill increase occurs. What's the difference betwen the automatic looting and the manual looting?

  • #1917

    I've established one of the factors that makes EasyCast not work. Here are the steps to reproduce:

    • Fish anywhere a crate has a chance to drop (I'm currently fishing Glassfin Minnow pools in Crystalsong Forest)
    • Keep fishing, even after a crate drops. Notice EasyCast works without a hitch.
    • Open crate - notice you can no longer double-rightclick to cast your lure.

    I've determined re-equipping my fishing pole fixes the problem, but that's only a temporary work-around, of course.

    Thank you for an excellent addon, and good luck working out what's causing this mishap!

  • #1916

    Hi, i can't get working option that switch outfit by clicking on minimap button. And it's checked an "on". I tried to delete all wtf files for this addon. Deleted addon folders and installed them again. But this option doesn't work and i can't find out why exactly. Do you have any thoughts why it can be?

  • #1912

    I'm also having problems with easycast stopping working... I noticed this last time it stopped right when my lure expired. So maybe that's a factor.

    Also I'd like to see an option to expand the the list of failed catches into its component items in the onscreen list, not just in the options menu. Maybe it's OCD, but there's something about wanting to know how many piecies of Driftwood and Sickly Fish I've caught.

  • #1913

    Grumble, grumble. I'm looking into this, I thought it was fixed :-(

    I'll see about adding an option to expand everything (except maybe coins :-)

    Thanks!

    Hya,

    I was wondering if you could add a feature to auto reequip normal gear when you mount.

    Thanks 4 your time.

    I'll add that to my list,

    Thanks!

  • #1908

    I noticed with the last couple of versions. When selecting an item in the addon that has a pull down menu. Upon closing the addon the puldown menu gets stuck on the screen. I tried doing a clean install of the addon and deleting all the files/saved variables but it still does it.

     

    Any idea? Its very annoying

  • #1909

    Darn, I thought I had fixed that (it doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't seen it since I rewrote that section). I will keep looking into it!

    Thanks for the bug report!

    Np, that makes me feel a bit better that it wasn't just me. It seems very specific to the fishing fun and Pet drop down.

  • #1903

    this add-on does not work at all , does not auto-loot does not auto-cast don't let me cast while mounted. and yes i have all of those things check . and yes i have no other fishing add-on on . and yes i loggd out reequuip my fishing pole . so now what?

     

  • #1904

    I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you. Most of the functions you mention don't have anything to do with the language that your client uses, but that might still be useful information.

    What other addons do you have? Some of them (Archy, for example) also steal mouse clicks and don't play nicely with others.
