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. And it does less damage than my two daggers. :-)</p> <p>Has anyone else noticed this, and perhaps have a fix?</p> <p>Aditional: Just read that 3.3 removed the ability for add-ons to equip weapons during combat. So I guess this is just the way it is for now. :-( </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-7566 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:44:51 +0000 el 7566@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think weregamer is referring to the old automatic re-cast after catch, which used to be possible before Blizzard tightened things up.

Fishing Buddy a Bot-Addon? What?<br /> I asked several of the people I know that know way more about W0W than I do, and they agreed with me, Fishing buddy is no where near a Bot<br /> I also did a little bit of research and found these supporting threads:</p> <p><a href="http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=4272418271&amp;sid=1" rel="nofollow">http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=4272418271&amp;sid=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=3773327746&amp;sid=1" rel="nofollow">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=3773327746&amp;sid=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16102301679&amp;sid=1" rel="nofollow">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16102301679&amp;sid=1</a><br /> Fishing Buddy follows all of these guidelines, and is (as of my last logon) Still useable in game.</p> <p>Not a Bot.</p> <p>or a cool macro like the OP put out here for the rest of us, "Thank You cactuar" </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ultimate-fishing-macro#post-7562 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:42:40 +0000 weregamer 7562@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>While a macro like this will work, I am much happier since I found an option in the Outfitter addon that I already use. 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/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>
