About Fishing Buddy
Fishing Buddy
-------------
A fishing addon that keeps track of the fish you catch and helps manage your fishing gear.
Features:
- Double-click fishing
- Supports the new WoW "fish without a pole" feature
- Bring out your fishing pets! Drink heavily!
- '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).

Plans for an 5.3.0 update?
Hey there,
Love this addon but have had to disable it because of the previously mentioned raid error
Date: 2013-05-19 13:03:49
ID: 1
Error occured in: AddOn: FishingBuddy
Count: ∞
Message: Note: AddOn FishingBuddy attempted to call a protected function (CompactRaidFrame2:Show()) during combat lockdown.
Debug:
[C]: Show()

I've been receiving a number of errors with FB while in combat. They are all pretty similar point to different calls within FB (I'm assuming). ## references a range of numbers from 01 to 30 (could be higher)
This is a known issue with the way Blizzard creates *their* frames -- FB doesn't call any of those routines itself, and I have yet to find a workaround for it :-(
Have been having this error since 5.2:
144x ...\FishingBuddy\Libs\LibTourist-3.0\LibTourist-3.0-90160.lua:6348: attempt to index field "?" (a nil value)
...\FishingBuddy\Libs\LibTourist-3.0\LibTourist-3.0-90160.lua:6348: in main chunk
Where are you when you receive this error? In the game, that is :-)
right after login
I would like to know how to change the "Quest Complete" sound for Nat Pangle quest fish? I tried replacing "igQuestListComplete" with "OgreEventCheerUnique" in line 872 of FishingBuddy.lua and made sure everything else was kept as is. However when I do catch a quest fish, nothing plays. No error given either. Is there something else that needs adjusting too?
I will add that to the feature request list :-)
There is a problem with how the on screen watcher counts the fish totals. At least if you don't have the watcher displayed when you fish without a fishing rod (a stick instead), it will still count the fish caught in the Fishing Buddy window in the locations tab, but it won't count it in the on screen watcher, so these 2 counters won't be showing the same number of fish caught in one location.
I view this as a problem because I still want the on screen watcher to record the fish I caught without a fishing rod, even if the on screen watcher itself is toggled to be hidden from view at the time. That way when I start using a fishing rod, I will see that those fish caught with a stick are logged in without having to check the locations tab.
For example: If I have 400 fish caught in one location from a fishing pole on the on screen watcher, then switch to a stick which will hide this watcher based on my current options, if I catch 200 fish with a stick then next time I switch back to using a fishing pole, the watcher should reappear saying that I caught 600 fish for this location. Right now it doesn't, it would still say that I only caught 400 fish, despite the Fishing Buddy locations tab saying that I caught 600.
This should be fixed, or at least provide an option to have the on screen watcher show the numbers in the location tab even if the watcher is currently hidden from view. I don't always make sure that I'm using a Fishing Rod and sometimes I don't want to. But when I'm not using it, I don't want the watcher to display the numbers to me either. But that doesn't mean that I don't want those fish to be logged! If there is already a way to do this then please tell me how.
I will look into this -- the on screen watcher uses the same events as the core parts of FB, and when it's off you get somewhat better framerates. But ti should be possible to move all of the current/totals logic into the main section without too much impact.
Nice Addon. There is a couple issues and/or questions I have to scratch my head on. 1st: The Extravaganza feature has been changed and starts at 4:00 p.m. not 2 p.m. . Also, I cannot seem to get the stay mounted while fishing feature to work? Does this work with any mount as well?
Ah, thank you. I hadn't noticed that the time had changed. I will get that updated!
I don't know of any mounts that you can fish from -- what the option does it let you cast while mounted, dismounting you in the process (I will see about making the tolltip clearer on that point :-)
I use to love this app before 5.2, and now I can't get it to work at all with the no pole needed feature. I have checked all my little details, and made sure I have easy cast on, I just can't get it to work with wow's new "no fishing pole needed" feature... This is the second thing on your item description list
- Supports the new WoW "fish without a pole" feature
I really like your app and I hope you can fix this problem. =)
