Just ignore all the slots except the ones that have your items. This is what I use for a fishing macro:</p> <p>#showtooltip Fishing<br /> /equip [nocombat, nomod:alt, noequipped:Fishing Pole] 3 1<br /> /equip [combat] [mod:alt] 3 1<br /> /cast [equipped:Fishing Pole, nomod] Fishing<br /> /use [mod:ctrl] 3 2<br /> /use [mod:ctrl] 16</p> <p>Just keep your pole in bag 3 slot 1 and your lures bag 3 slot 2. Macros that switch weapons in combat still work, just a couple days ago I accidently hit my spec switch macro on my paladin in the middle of a combat and the only thing that changed was the weapons. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-7581 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:09:58 +0000 Schema 7581@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>weregamer <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-7562" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>...

If I'm in my Fishing outfit and enter combat, my weapons do swap back in -- but if I'm actually fishing and get jumped by some Mob, my fishing pole remains equipped.

I play a lot of hybrid classes (Druid, Shaman, Paladin) and love this addon to manage my equipment sets. Even though Blizzard has added an equipment manager to the default UI in 3.3, I like the UI for this addon.</p> <p>Anyway, if you make an outfit called "Fishing", you can not only easily change it as you upgrade your equipment, you can also use the advanced settings to turn on a script that does the following:<br /> * Unequips your pole (switching back to the weapon you had before you started fishing) when you enter combat, and reequips it after combat<br /> * Changes your minimap tracking to track fishing pools when you switch to the Fishing outfit, and switches it back to what you had before when you turn off the Fishing outfit.</p> <p>I've never seen much value in the Fishing-specific addons like Fishing Buddy, since Blizzard outlawed botlike behaviors. But this tweak to Outfitter suits me perfectly.</p> <p>Outfitter is listed with WoWMatrix, or you can get it from the usual suspects, <a href="http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/outfitter.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/outfitter.aspx</a>, <a href="http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5467-Outfitter.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5467-Outfitter.html</a>, etc. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/different-fishing-sound#post-6639 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 07:25:07 +0000 Samago 6639@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Where to put the sound file has recently changed. It's just one directory up: /Sound/Spells/</p> <p>This wont change the sound of your specific bobber, though. This will only replace the sound of the bobber splash entirely. Everyone else's bobber will still sound the same as yours does. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/different-fishing-sound#post-6638 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 17:32:22 +0000 el 6638@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This should work, but I've not tested it:</p> <ol> <li>Convert the sound file you want into .wav format. If you need software to do that, try Audacity.</li> <li>Create directories within the WoW directory: /Data/Sound/Spells/</li> <li>Copy the .wav file into the new Spells directory 3 times, and rename to: FishingBobber_ver2_1.wav, FishingBobber_ver2_2.wav, and FishingBobber_ver2_3.wav</li> </ol> <p>Basically, you're replacing the game files normally found within the .mpq data packages. Most files can be changed this way, however some files are protected - the game checks for the original file. That generally happens where hacking the file would give you an in-game advantage. As far as I'm aware, the fishing bobber sound files are not checked (but the bobber model graphics are). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/different-fishing-sound#post-6607 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:23:39 +0000 Maklesh 6607@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ello o/</p> <p>I was wondering if there's an addon that changes the sound of the fishing bobber when catching a fish. </p> <p>I currently use FishermansFriend (don't need/want all the extra options from Fishing Buddy) and I love it. The thing I don't like is when fishing close to someone their sound goes just as loud as mine and I sometimes click the bobber at the wrong time because of it. Since I mostly fish and watch tv or do something else I'd like to prevent such confusion.</p> <p>Now I saw a Bert and Ernie thing in the addons section, but I'd rather not have them saying that stuff while watching a movie or something :P<br /> Second question would be; would any such addon change the sound of other ppl catching fish as well? Cause in that case it won't matter anyways :&gt;</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Maklesh </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-6462 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 23:19:15 +0000 Keirelle 6462@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Yeah that's what I meant, not re equipping but just using it each time. Otherwise I really like the macro, guess I will just turn error messages off then! :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-6461 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:59:45 +0000 cactuar 6461@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Actually, the error is not from equipping an already equipped item. That action won't cause an error, it'll just ignore it.</p> <p>The error message comes from the multiple attempts to use the hat.<br /> If you're talking about the error text that appears on the screen, that's what the<br /> <code>/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent(&quot;UI_ERROR_MESSAGE&quot;);</code><br /> and the<br /> <code>/script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent(&quot;UI_ERROR_MESSAGE&quot;);</code><br /> are for.<br /> They temporarily turn off the error messages during the macro.</p> <p>The actual speaking from your character can be turned off in the "Sound" menu. Uncheck the "Error Speech" option.</p> <p>Sorry, I forgot to mention that because I always have it turned off by default. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-6458 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:55:24 +0000 Keirelle 6458@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>What did I do wrong? Each time I click on it it will make her say "that item is not ready yet". Is there anyway to make that stop? I know it is because essentially the hat is being equipped each time and it doesn't need to reuse the lure each time, but can you make it so it doesn't say so? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-6452 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 03:05:11 +0000 Keirelle 6452@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks mate! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-6448 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:27:21 +0000 cactuar 6448@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Here's a pretty nifty macro I cooked up.</p> <p>When you click it, it will first attempt to equip your fishing gear (Hat and Kalu'ak pole in my case).<br /> The next click will use your Weather Beaten Fishing Hat to put the +75 lure on your Fishing Pole.<br /> Any subsequent clicks will simply cast your fishing line as normal (until your fishing lure runs out, then it will refresh it!)</p> <pre><code>#showtooltip Fishing /script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent(&quot;UI_ERROR_MESSAGE&quot;); /equip Mastercraft Kalu&#39;ak Fishing Pole /equip Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat /use Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat /script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent(&quot;UI_ERROR_MESSAGE&quot;); /use Fishing</code></pre> <p>Enjoy!! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-suggestionscomments/page/3#post-6429 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:02:35 +0000 NiceBloke 6429@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm having the same problem with FB taking several clicks to cast.
