There doesn't seem to be much in the way of information given with the add-on, which if it were might bring the program from simply incredible to nearly godly. Doesn't the author of Fishing Buddy sometimes frequent these pages? Perhaps we just need a bit more patience, and eventually we'll get the answers straight from the source code, so to speak. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-what-do-the-options-do#post-10223 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 20:44:46 +0000 sioleabha 10223@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I have been using Fishing Buddy for a while now, but I can't figure out what all of the options do. For example, I have turned "Watch bobber" on and off, and I can't tell the difference. And what's the difference between "Always lure" and "Easy lures"? I have searched and searched for a guide that explains all the options, but I can't find one. Can anyone tell me what the following options do?</p> <p>* Watch bobber<br /> * Always lure<br /> * Easy lures<br /> * Open quest items<br /> * Use action<br /> * Show fishing info in tooltips<br /> * Show new fish<br /> * Turn off PVP<br /> * Sort by number caught<br /> * Enhance fishing sounds<br /> * Background sound<br /> * Enhance pools </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-db#post-7492 Fri, 25 Dec 2009 21:52:50 +0000 vladdy 7492@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well I had to reformat my HD, and in the process, I lost my FB Database.</p> <p>Anyone happen to know of a nice FB DB that I can download? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-help-please#post-6674 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:31:53 +0000 Gho123 6674@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>nonameform <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-buddy-help-please#post-6672" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Go into "World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\[Account name]\[Server]\[Character]\SavedVariables" folder and edit FishingBuddy.lua.

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].
