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.

Say I'd like cast fishing by pressing a key on the keyboard, rather than double-right-clicking, but don't want to lose the great luring features from FB. Would it be possible to get a key binding in the Key Binding Options? A macro command could also be useful, if it's not too much trouble:<br /> <code>#showtooltip<br /> /cast [noequipped:fishing pole] !Shoot<br /> /stopmacro [noequipped:fishing pole]<br /> /fb cast</code></p> <p>...</p> <p><strong>The One-Click-Recast Feature Issue:</strong><br /> The feature you added, "Reduce casting to one click if the water is too shallow or the cast is out of sight," is giving me a big problem when I fish in shallow waters. I can't loot 95% of the time! When I go to click the bobber, my character will recast or I'll get a "Water too shallow" error. Yes, I'm only clicking once. A good place to see this happen is at the Dalaran fountain. </p> <p>Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but my right mouse button seems to be sticking every so often. I checked and it's not my mouse or other addons. This happens when I'm fishing in shallow waters, or not fishing at all but right clicking the screen to move my character. This happens even when I don't have a fishing pole equipped, which isn't good when I'm healing an instance. This doesn't seem to happen when I'm fishing in open waters. If I may, I suggest removing the one-click-recast, and improvising a macro many use for fishing in tight spots:<br /> <code>/cast fishing<br /> /cast fishing<br /> /cast fishing<br /> /cast fishing<br /> /cast fishing<br /> /cast fishing </code><em>(This macro is dicussed here: <a>http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro</a>)</em></p> <p>There's another issue I have with the one-click-recast. I haven't been able to really test the convenience of it, but I imagine the process may take too much thought. If I see that I need to recast, my brain will automatically tell me to double-right-click like I usually do when I cast fishing. Determining if I need to click once or twice in order to recast may get confusing, especially if I'm competing at the fishing extravaganza and have 37 tasty fish in my inventory.</p> <p>...</p> <p>Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for the great addon. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-suggestionscomments/page/2#post-6180 Tue, 12 May 2009 01:13:12 +0000 Sutorix 6180@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Samago <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-suggestionscomments/page/2#post-6179" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>\ why it's making me consume [Captain Rumsey's Lager]. </p></blockquote> <p>&lt;p&gt;I haven't added an option to not drink the lager yet -- currently with Easy Lure turned on, it assumes that you meant to have a drink while you're fishing :-) More settings for everything is on my list.&lt;/p&gt; </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-suggestionscomments/page/2#post-6179 Tue, 12 May 2009 00:47:09 +0000 Samago 6179@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Fishing In Ironforge with an unbuffed skill of 507, I'm wondering why it's making me consume [Captain Rumsey's Lager].
