The sparkles have added a bit of difficulty to distinguish between the white splash and the large white sparkles that float upwards. Is there any way to make those sparkles small/not as prominent like adjusting spell detail? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-question#post-1149 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 09:55:58 +0000 Petre 1149@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Between memorization, an epic flying mount, and the fish-tracking ability I found the tracking addon to be completely useless. The pools don't always spawn, so you have to fly the whole route and stare at your minimap or the water anyway. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/addon-question#post-1145 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:11:41 +0000 el 1145@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>There is a fixed list of possible pool locations, but in most cases not all those pools will be fishable. <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/pool_spawning.html">This explains the pattern</a> (and <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/pool_appearance.html">this provides more evidence</a>). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/overlaid-pools#post-1144 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:08:05 +0000 el 1144@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It is rare, but has been happening for several years in <a href="/fish/?s=Stranglethorn Vale" title="Fish Finder - Stranglethorn Vale.">Stranglethorn Vale</a>.

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.

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/pool-sparkles#post-1104 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:46:08 +0000 el 1104@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Interesting. Thanks for posting. I think that's new in 2.4.3. The sparkles appear above the pool. They are best viewed at 90 degrees to the surface, and are easy to miss if you tend to look down onto pools. They only show up with Find Fish active (pool tracking on the minimap). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/pool-sparkles#post-1103 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:28:11 +0000 GormanGhaste 1103@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Have I just now noticed, or did they add sparkles to fishing nodes in 2.4.3? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-on-the-coast-of-darkshore#post-93 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:00:05 +0000 Torgon 93@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The pool spawn areas in Darkshore are very poorly placed, so that sometimes you only get half to a quarter of the pool, and if you are not standing at the right angle (sometimes standing on rocks in the water) you will not be able to hit the pools. </p> <p>I once submitted a ticket on this and the GM responding said that Darkshore has "unusually low tides". I thought that was rather humorous. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-on-the-coast-of-darkshore#post-89 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:59:17 +0000 DarvenTHO 89@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I had this problem as well but the one that I found was south of Auberdine. I had heard that some pools around the area were extremely close to the shore. I tried standing in the water a ways from the pool and casting into it, but to no avail. There's my 2 cents...:) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-on-the-coast-of-darkshore#post-86 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:32:17 +0000 Kylkiluut 86@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Has anyone else had problems with the pools north of Auberdine? They all seem too close to the shore and in very shallow water.</p> <p>I can't seem to fish any except a very few. </p>
