Fishing Buddy

Fishing Buddy

A fishing addon that keeps track of the fish you catch and helps manage your fishing gear.

Other Versions

- Fishing Buddy (Classic)

Features:

- Double-click fishing

- Supports the new WoW "fish without a pole" feature

- Bring out your fishing pets! Drink heavily!

- 'Fish Watcher' lets you see the fish you've caught here before (or the fish that you've caught in the current session)

- Display your current skill level and the time since you started fishing - Choose your fishing outfit and change into it easily

- Support for automatically adding a lure to your fishing pole

- Support for tracking 'cycle fish' such as the Nightfin Snapper so you know when to go looking for them

Example commands:

/fishingbuddy or /fb toggle the display of the Fishing Buddy window /fb help print the list of Fishing Buddy commands

/fb switch wear your chosen fishing outfit, or change back

Known Issues:

"Fast Loot" addons will mess with FB counting fish -- they're gone before they can get counted. I am trying to find a work-around, but nothing solid yet.

Silly stuff:

In addition to displaying the fishing bonus for your fishing outfit, it also displays your 'style points' as inferred from Draznar's Fishing FAQ (http://wow.toshimo.com/viewtopic.php?t=272).

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on edge.forgecdn.net, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

GAME FLAVOUR

This is a retail (modern World of Warcraft) build. It will not work in the Classic clients, which run a different interface API.

INTERFACE VERSION

Built against game version 11.0.7. After a patch, an addon that has not been updated is flagged out of date; most keep working, and the "Load out of date AddOns" checkbox on the character screen lets you try.

DEPENDENCIES

Some addons need a separate library addon (Ace3, LibStub and friends) that is not bundled. If the addon does not appear in the list in game, a missing dependency is the usual reason.

1. Quit World of Warcraft completely. The game reads the AddOns folder at launch and will overwrite settings for an addon added while it is running.

2. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

3. Move the folder — the one with the .toc file in it, not the zip's wrapper folder — into:

World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns

4. Start the game. On the character selection screen, click AddOns and check that it is listed and enabled.

IF IT DOES NOT APPEAR

Nine times out of ten the folder is nested one level too deep. Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing/Thing.toc will not load; Interface/AddOns/Thing/Thing.toc will.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder before unzipping the new one. Unzipping over the top leaves files behind that the new version no longer expects.
