It's simply a directory that goes in your World of Warcraft/Data folder and the game client uses the sound file there instead of the one packed into the MPQ files. It doesn't need to be supported because the system hasn't changed in three years. I use it, and it works great currently. Fish Ping comes with a set of sounds at varying volumes. If you use a louder one, you can have the WoW sounds turned down and still hear the bobber.</p> <p>As far as the sounds go, the addon "Fishing Buddy" as well as others I'm sure, can automatically adjust the sound settings so that they work better for you. I believe there used to be a setting named "Sounds on character" or something like that. Turning that on (or off) may help. The sound of the bobber gets louder the closer you are to the bobber, that's why zooming in makes it louder. I've never experienced your #3, the sound has always sounded at the same time the bobber bobs for me.</p> <p>I agree that it would be nice to have a visual announcement. Maybe a suggestion to the Fishing Buddy developer? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-addon-question#post-9246 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 23:19:18 +0000 Rochmoninoff 9246@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Last night I downloaded FishermansFriend (and Fish Warden but that's not relevant).<br /> FishermansFriend autoadjusts sound to maximize the warning.</p> <p>And I learned something interesting:<br /> 1. On long casts you can't hear the bobber.<br /> 2. If you back out the point of view way back (which I usually do), the problem noted in (1) gets worse (I fixed this by zooming all the way in to "first-person-shooter mode")<br /> 3. Even if the bobber is audible lag effects are such that sometime the sound triggers after I've already looted the fish (not very useful!)</p> <p>I never noticed any of this before because 90% of my WoW play has been with sound down and iTunes up. Last night it was all about the bobber so sound was up and iTunes off.</p> <p>So I guess what I'm saying is "Thanks Pipre, but issues noted in 1, or 3 seem to be related to event triggers and client/server sync ".<br /> When the issues I mention above are not in effect I can hear the bobber fine.<br /> Of course I can also hear my neighbor's bobber fine too which is confusing some times.</p> <p>I'd really like that visual warning.<br /> There used to be a mod called Fish Ping but it hasn't been supported in years - that's along the lines of what I'm looking for. Is there no alternate? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-addon-question#post-9239 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 22:42:01 +0000 Pipre 9239@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>While I don't know of a mod that flashes the screen (a good idea for those of us who like to play with the sound off) you can change the bobber sound without violating your agreement with blizz.</p> <p>Look up the FishPing "add-on" at curse and follow the directions.

I even keep the "trash" because all that copper eventually adds up.<br /> I just wish some of those items stacked more. Things like Scrollcases, trunks, and crates don't stack, and fill your bags pretty quickly, and they have different items in them, so opening them doesn't save you much space. IF however the holders stacked (like a clamshell before you open it and get your meet and/or pearl) it would make fishing a LOT nicer.<br /> Just my thought.

I guess the reason for this is because, in the past, and recently, I've never had trouble to give away extra fish - even low level ones... there's always a hunter with a hungry cat, or someone has an alt that uses food for health replenishment and so on.</p> <p>I can see the point in these addons and functionality - but, if you've the bag space, maybe an idea to keep your fish - someone is bound to put them to good use somewhere! :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lootfilter-addon#post-8116 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:34:34 +0000 x87bliss 8116@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Lol, thanks El.

I recommend you try "Fish Warden." You may have to google it, because Curse.com won't list it in their search DB for some reason.</p> <p>Fish Warden is a "selective auto looter." There's a number of "keep filters" that you can select to tell Fish Warden which fish you want to auto loot. The rest are left in the loot window for you to manually loot or discard.</p> <p>You can also have it "Automatically release unwanted fish." Fish Warden will automatically close the loot window after looting the keep fish - discarding the trash fish. Pair this with a 'double right click casting' addon for much faster fishing grinds.</p> <p><em>(El says - Fished this one out of the spam filter too... It appears to be upset for some reason.)</em> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-addon-2#post-6723 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:06:51 +0000 Andrias 6723@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I am curious if anyone has found an AddOn that changes the color of your cast bar when your bobber bobs?
