Here's an example of <a href="http://www.kabby.net/wow/cartfish2.jpg">what it looks like.</a> You can filter the kind of nodes that show, as well as adjust the opacity and size of the symbols. There's also an option to show/hide the icons on your minimap. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-question#post-1126 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:19:48 +0000 Dinde 1126@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thank you very much for your information on this subject i will try out the Cartographer and see how it treats me.</p> <p>Thanks, Dinde </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-question#post-1123 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:12:19 +0000 Oberweiss 1123@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>IIRC, I use the Gatherer plugin for Cartographer, which does track fishing schools. How it identifies schools is flawed, but it works fairly well for me. I think watches for pool names in your mouseover when you catch something via fishing. I have only had it mis-label open water as a pool once (I was curious as to how it worked, so I was actively trying to make it mis-label at the time), and it usually only takes one catch from the pool to record the school location.</p> <p>After installing this mod, you may have to manually enable the fishing part. Let me know if you're having trouble getting it to work. I'll be able to check into my mods and settings more once I get home, if that'll help you. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-question#post-1121 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:07:47 +0000 el 1121@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>From memory, this was a feature within Gatherer at one time, but did not work terribly well.</p> <p>The problem is technical: When you catch a fish from a pool, only the game server (realm) knows it came from a pool. Your game client (the part installed on your computer) only gets the information that you caught a fish - it doesn't know where the fish came from.</p> <p>An addon might be able to analyse the colour of pixels on the screen, but the differences between pools and the surrounding water are so subtle, that it would need to be exceptionally clever. So in practice the only pools that can be tracked are those that contain a completely unique fish, such as <a href="/fish/?s=Zulian Mudskunk" title="Fish Finder - Zulian Mudskunk.">Zulian Mudskunk</a>, since those always come from pools.</p> <p>I imagine the inability to spot and track pools automatically is partly historic accident (there were no pools for the first year of WoW's release), partly an anti-bot feature (since you cannot easily automate farming what you cannot record electronically). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-question#post-1119 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:17:41 +0000 Dinde 1119@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was wondering if there is an addon that records the location of a pool of fish for later referances such as the Gatherer addon if anyone has any info on this please post a reply</p> <p> Thanks, Dinde </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-569 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:21:00 +0000 Longhunter 569@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>ok after 2 days of fishing the only thing i would like to see if a Double click cast. </p> <p>Mainly becuse i am to lazy to move the mouse and click the button other then that i like it, Fishing buddy's Fish tracker is nice but i can live with out it i do like the idea of being combat ready the 12 year olds seem to really like the gank fisherman.</p> <p>Longhunter </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-545 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:42:24 +0000 Longhunter 545@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>First i would like to say Thank you thank you thank you!!! </p> <p>the Fishing Chair is an item you click in you bag and it shows up in front of you like the fire Mr.P "pet" is the same way but the Chair has a cool down.</p> <p>I understand your point about felling a bit naked when Fishing, With out being Combat ready i have come under attack from mages and rouges many times.I have died becuse of there 12 year old games, but i tend to turn the check.

When you use it the chair appears next to you after a 3 second cast. The owner can then right click on it to sit. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-529 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:51:08 +0000 Age 529@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ok, there's a newer version up on curse (in zip format) which has tooltips, a cooking only mode (accessed by right clicking the icon) and should manage to replace your gear ok if you log out while fishing.</p> <p>As far as swapping all your gear for a fishing outfit, I could add that but I'm not really keen to because it drastically increases the complexity of the mod for something that's not really needed. As it stands the mod achieves it's aims without you needing to configure it in any way, which is something I'd like to keep as much as possible.</p> <p>The fishing chair however, is something that I *will* add - how does it work exactly? Does it just appear next to you when you cast it or do you have to choose where to place it?</p> <p>And as for Mr Pinchy, I'm assuming you mean add a button for casting his wishes? I'll likely add that to the chair button as a right-click option. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-523 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:30:32 +0000 Longhunter 523@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>OH i get it Now!

It's the only thing you can be reasonably sure everyone can open. And efficiency of compression is irrelevant on a 10KB of data.</p> <p>(And, um, yes - I need to write a proper tutorial on the addons page.)</p> <p>I've only had a brief look, but my first reaction was "what do the buttons do?" Ergo, it needs tooltips. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-497 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 23:53:08 +0000 Age 497@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the feedback =]</p> <p>At present, yes, you do have to have the fishing mode open to get the cooking icons, but I'm changing that cause it bugs me too.</p> <p>It does work with the new fishing hooks (and it should choose the new hat's on use ability if you have no +100 lures on you) but no, it doesn't change you into a fishing outfit - it only changes hat and boots (if you've got a fishing hat or nat pagle's boots). I do like the full fishing costume feature in fishing buddy but I opted for a more "combat ready" approach, as befits some of the fishing I do in outland =]</p> <p>I'm not sure what you mean about the file type, it should just be a folder you extract to your interface\addons folder like usual.</p> <p>Oh and as for the name: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abt6wGtWVX8" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abt6wGtWVX8</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-495 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 23:20:06 +0000 Longhunter 495@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>ok i went and Down loaded the file but it is not in the normal file type so i dont know where to go with this now so............. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/looking-for-feedback-on-an-addon-i-wrote#post-489 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:09:58 +0000 Longhunter 489@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>you know i saw this Last night while up dating my addons and i was thinking it was nice. But i did not want to mess up fishing buddy. I do like the idea about the cooking and fire making it would save a few secs. Do you have to have it open to get the icons.</p> <p>does it work with the new fishing hooks to? and does it would like fishing buddy and drop all your aromr you want and equipt. your fishing gear? like my blue overalls and fingerless gloves?</p> <p>one other suggestion, i would rename it. sometime fishing net or tackle box exp. Give a bit more info, i was unsure what it did.
