    is there any way to cut/paste the info from each region?

    I'll add that to my list!

    Hi Sutorix,

    Is it possible to check the fishing hat CD before trying to apply its lure? Casting rightaway with a double click gives an error at the moment.

    Cheers on the great addon.

    @Threehorns -- it's supposed to check the cooldown already. I will play with and see if there's an edge condition.

    For people with the bone and jeweled poles -- please try Beta 2 at http://cid-66aeff484ae5a135.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public?uc=1

    I've completely rewritten the fishing pole detection, and as long as Blizz doesn't mess with item types it should work with all of them (I've tried it with both the enUS and esMX versions, so I know it's language independent as well!).

    Being able to minamise the stats would be nice, or even better Fubar addon so that the stats etc can be displayed in a rolldown that can then be exported to a text file or something similar.

    FB couldnt live without it tbh.

    thanks alot, bone fishing pole works now ;)

  6. Sutorix <Salty Add-On Author>, 10 months ago:

    Beta 3 is up -- it fixes a long standing bug that some people have seen where "Auto Lure" fails with "compare number with table". Somewhere out there is an addon that sets the global variable "b" to a table :-) My bug is that I shouldn't have been using a variable at all -- it should have been "nil".

  7. Balazar <Moderator>, 10 months ago:

    Looks like most of my comments have been addressed - my main one would have been the fishing lure detection (selecting the lowest usable).

    I can't stand fishing without the add on, so great to see that you are still maintaining it! Thanks for making it and all your work.

    Perhaps a few updates to the Draznar's (great guy, by the way) style guide to account for newer items. If I was totally dreaming, perhaps an auto drink feature, for those who like booze with fishing. OK, perhaps that's just my drunkard priest character's request, but one could argue having it set to use Captain Rumsey's Lager or Underbelly Elixirs might be useful. :-)

  8. Sutorix <Salty Add-On Author>, 10 months ago:

    @Balazaar -- turn on auto-lure and carry some Lager around with you and let me know :-)

    Glad you like it -- I basically fix the things that annoy me or sound really cool when they're suggested!

  9. Balazar <Moderator>, 10 months ago:

    Just trying out the beta 3.

    One thing I note, while fishing in the stormwind canals - no lure applied (which I like), as my skill exceeds the zone.

    However, I noted I had "always lure" checked, as I had previously been somewhat tired of always "wasting" a cast in hard zones before it put a lure on.

    I tried toggling it, it now seems to have no effect, at least when your skill far outpaces the zone. I don't mind the actual behavior, but the name/tool tip now seem like a bug.

    Hi Sutorix,

    Is there a way to filter out junk catches? I haven't installed 0.9.7 yet, so I don't know if that's in the current build or not.

    Also I have a strange problem on my work machine - the outfitter doesn't show up at all. I've got the addon installed, but when I type /fb, the outfitter tab doesn't show. Typing /fb switch generates an error because I don't have an outfit set up.

    Thanks for all the great work on what I think is the best fishing add-on I've used.

  11. Sutorix <Salty Add-On Author>, 10 months ago:

    I'm working on filtering out junk and quest fish right now -- I'm hoping to have it ready for 0.9.7.

  12. Balazar <Moderator>, 10 months ago:

    Alas, as of the last mini-patch, the easy cast and easy lure broke for me!

  13. Paralord <Salty>, 10 months ago:

    I keep having issues with Fishing Buddy, usig the 60 min lure, and not the 10 min lure's. I am using the latest beta btw

  14. Balazar <Moderator>, 10 months ago:

    …aaaand I was wrong. It did break (easy lure/cast), but now it's working again. Probably something else broke and a restart fixed it.

  15. Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 10 months ago:

    just wanted to confirm for you Jeweled Fishing Pole works on easy cast as of v0.9.7 beta1

  16. Daisyvondoom <Salty>, 10 months ago:

    So I'm having a problem with FB-the window that displays the area's catch stats is gradually creeping off the left side of my screen and by the time I noticed it was too late to drag it back with the tab, what is the deal and how do I fix it?

  17. Samago <Salty>, 10 months ago:

    Fishing In Ironforge with an unbuffed skill of 507, I'm wondering why it's making me consume [Captain Rumsey's Lager]. I'm using v0.9.7B3 with Easy Lure enabled and Always Lure disabled.

    <p>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.</p>

    (Using v0.9.7B3)

    ...

    The Use Action feature doesn't seem to be working.

    ...

    This gave me an idea, by the way. 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:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [noequipped:fishing pole] !Shoot
    /stopmacro [noequipped:fishing pole]
    /fb cast

    ...

    The One-Click-Recast Feature Issue:
    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.

    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:
    /cast fishing
    /cast fishing
    /cast fishing
    /cast fishing
    /cast fishing
    /cast fishing     (This macro is dicussed here: http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/my-winner-macro)

    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.

    ...

    Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for the great addon.

  20. Sutorix <Salty Add-On Author>, 10 months ago:

    @Samago -- you're right about the recast feature, I'm taking it out. It's okay sometimes -- but when you're in the groove it gets in the way.

    In your macro -- just use "/cast Fishing" (or the localized version of your fishing skill) -- you don't need FB to do that :-)
