This way if you accidentally click your fishing macro before clicking yes to loot, it will automatically click yes to loot before recasting and you won't lose your achievement! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-personal-fishing-epiphany#post-10164 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 06:34:37 +0000 Oak 10164@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This is great information and will definitely make long fishing sessions easier for me.</p> <p>I wonder if El would consider adding this information in his addon guide. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-personal-fishing-epiphany#post-10113 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 21:20:15 +0000 turkeyface 10113@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Precisely - You conveyed it much more concisely than did I. </p> <p>You can cast, position mouse over bobber, and then let go of mouse - using the hotkey to 'catch' the fish instead. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-personal-fishing-epiphany#post-10110 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:01:28 +0000 Christhina 10110@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>So... effectively, I could make a special toolbar (the second toolbar on all my toons is set up for fishing, with shortcuts to cast, apply Weather Beaten Fishing Hat buff etc), and I could now add another hotkey to that (say the number 2) to actually "catch" my fish? Requiring me to hit "1" to cast, position mouse, and then "2" to "catch" the fish?</p> <p>If so, that is fantastic, and I would be a very very happy camper - I'm off to try get this going now! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-personal-fishing-epiphany#post-10102 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:27:53 +0000 turkeyface 10102@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Subject: an easier way to fish and do something else simultaneously. </p> <p>Me: I'm looking for the sea turtle. </p> <p>Method: I fished fangtooth pools till I found the dark herring. I've since caught 3 bank tabs worth of blackbelly mudfish. </p> <p>Dilemma: I don't find fishing especially enthralling, so I tend to watch movies, netcasts, read novels whilst I fish. I use a "double-click to cast" addon to cast, then watch the movie, read the page until I hear the bobber splash. </p> <p>The old me: I would frantically search and make sure my cursor was on the bobber, and click, hoping it wasn't the "last second bobber" - (you hearty fishermen all know what I'm talking about). I would often miss or be too late, even in my haste, making me sad/throwing off my viewing/reading experience. </p> <p>*****Important part******<br /> The new me: I bound a key to: INTERACT WITH MOUSEOVER in the Targeting Functions section of the default keybinding menu . Now, I cast, check for a pool landing, place my cursor on the bobber, and let go of the mouse. When I hear the splash, I simply press the keyboard. No more missed fish. Ever. And my eyes never leave the book/movie screen.<br /> *****End of Importance******</p> <p>I hope this helps someone else fish more efficiently/enjoyably. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-for-weigh-display#post-9998 Fri, 14 Jan 2011 14:25:49 +0000 Sarcandosa 9998@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Sutorix - That would be awesome and thank you also for the great addon, been using it for years. </p> <p>Christhina - I have altoholic, absolutely a must. This request was not from a tooltip standpoint. That is well covered by many addons. This is a visual indication of what is in your bag or bank to tell you the size of your catches without having to mouse over. The fish already look different, however with out mousing over, currently you can't tell the 10lb from the 20lb right next to it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-for-weigh-display#post-9978 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 12:23:18 +0000 Christhina 9978@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm not quite clear on what it is you're looking for here, but there is a mod called Altoholic (highly recommended even if you just have a bank toon/guild bank and no alts).</p> <p>That will make it so that (say) you have a 22 pound redgill stored in the guild bank tab, and when you catch another, and hover over it, you will see (1) &lt;name of guild&gt; in the tooltip. Likewise, if that were in your bankers (or alts) bags, you would see (1) &lt;name of toon&gt; in the tooltip.</p> <p>It also has the possibility to search for items stored in guild banks, mail, and alts bags. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-for-weigh-display#post-9973 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 06:11:33 +0000 Sutorix 9973@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>That sounds like something i could add to Fishing Buddy -- I'll add it to my list :-) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-for-weigh-display#post-9971 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:13:54 +0000 Sarcandosa 9971@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I am starting a collection of all my weighed fish catches, keeping one of every size. I even set up a dedicated alt bank tab for it. </p> <p>What I was wondering is if anyone has heard of or could make an addon that puts the weight of the fish in the bag and bank space similiar to the way the Tabard addon actually lets you see the tabard image. This would make it so much easier to see what you have and what you still need. </p> <p>Then hopefully when your aquarium of weighed fish is complete, you could screen shot and share you wonderful collection. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-9945 Wed, 05 Jan 2011 05:16:00 +0000 Sutorix 9945@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Fishing Buddy is definitely *not* a bot -- I'm completely against such things. Fishing Buddy plays by all current Blizz add-on rules and just makes it more convenient to fish -- but you still have to do all the "work" yourself. That is, it will cast with a double-click, but you still have to click on the bobber in order to catch anything :-) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-9941 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:11:19 +0000 PoMR 9941@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Here's a fairly simple fishing/lure macro.

I'm not great (yet) with macro-coding, so I don't completely understand what all this macro does. </p> <p>I have FB installed, but I'm using it less and less. Installed Spartan UI, and the ` key uses a specific spot in the bar, so I just put my pole in that slot on all my toons, and hit that key w/ my left hand and right-click the bobber with my mouse - auto-loot is already turned on in my interface, so it's a rather automated process. The only thing FB does for me now is enhance the sounds (and I'm often listening to music instead anyway) and auto-lure. If this could be adjusted to auto-lure, I could uninstall FB entirely. </p> <p>The way I have it set up, it doesn't matter if I am on my main (which has the Kalu'ak Fishing Pole,) a new lvl 1 toon, or any of my toons in-between, it's all set the same on my bar.</p> <p>Now if someone ever made an add-on that auto-added to the mini-map the vendor or trainer for getting the RECIPE for COOKING any particular fish I fish up, THAT I'd add in a HEARTBEAT!! I hate tabbing out to go look it up! Better, one that would *auto-buy* a fish cooking recipe you have the skill for if you VISIT any of those vendors!! I don't always check the vendors, and I HATE having to go *back* to an area just cause I didn't know the vendor had it at the end of their inventory.. Would it be hard to program something that checked your skill and popped up a dialog asking you if you wanted to "buy X recipe"? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lootfilter-addon#post-9073 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 10:59:40 +0000 Fishing for chickens 9073@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Actually... 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.
