I'd love it. I'll test that sucker out for ya. It'll be like real fishing for me. I'll sit down with a beer in hand and just stare at the water.

Catch It! should be done tonight. It is designed so that while fishing you can read a book, watch a little TV, listen to the game on the radio, take a nap, have a beer, talk to your buddies, etc. Pretty much simulating as close as possible the real fishing experience...

But I'm PRO~!


edit: I hate all you damn UCFers

Well if Gouru's putting out a plugin, might as well not bother with the macro, but the macro works just fine either way.


My timing is impeccable


In case anyone wants the macro itself... It's here. You'll have to rename the filename to "Fishing.mac" in order for it to work properly methinks. All relevant info should be in there.


It's not perfectly tested yet, and I take absolutely no responsibility for anything done...while it works absolutely fine for me, there's no guarantee it's perfect.


Oh, and as I said in the top part... PLEASE read through the whole thing if you plan on using it.

I'd put out the macro too if I were you. Some people don't like anything I work on.


It is a VERY simple plugin. It tracks how many of each fish you caught. Keeps one of each type to turn in as a trophy. User interface is a single button...'Start Fishing', if you have a fishing pole, it will equip it, and use it on the nearest fishing hole. Repeat ad infinitum.

Well, I put it in the post above yours, Gouru


It'll keep a Trunk of Bones, and theoretically it should keep a Skeleton too (hasn't been tested yet though). It'll hand the fish back to the hole and drop everything that isn't either a fish, Trunk or Skeleton. It also won't keep any fish...whatever you catch is gone.


I made a change to it before I posted it, though, which I didn't quite test first.


If you guys have any problems/comments/questions, feel free to PM them to me and I can prolly help you. I don't intend to walk people through it, thus all the comments within the macro script.


And ya, I figured some people might not wanna use your plugin, thus why I decided it was still worth it to post the macro.


OH! An important note!!


The main pack MUST be empty. Even though it says it at the top, I'm gonna restate that here. If your main pack is NOT empty, you will empty it during the course of the macro's running. If you have something you can't drop in it, the macro will get stuck endlessly. Make sure you not only have your backpack empty, but you have a normal pack WITH ROOM at the top of your sidepacks.


You will also need to modify the macro based upon your keyboard mappings if you use it, since I doubt they mirror mine. I changed mine for this macro, which I recommend doing the same. The macro and/or your keyboard mappings will need to be altered if you wish to use it. If you don't know how to do this, feel free to PM me and I'll walk you through it.

Thanks Flenop, that worked nicely. The whole 15 minutes of it I got to try after running around Hebian killing wood golems to get my pole while hunting blood shreth for the blood butcher title.


First time to ever use actools, so this is probably a dumb question. I tried f8/f9 to stop it though as per your instructions, but all that really does is have the clicks occur in a place where it doesn't matter. To really stop the macro, I have to alt+tab out and hit f2 correct?


I hadn't read the instructions so when I alt+tabbed out, it took me a few minutes to click on pause since the mouse kept moving on me. heheh.


I felt quite the buffoon.


Nice macro though!

Ya the part I didn't quite test all that well was the F8/F9 thing...


Sorry that that doesn't quite work ATM...I'll fix it once I have a chance to test it again. (Kinda been camping a house a little too long )

Catch It! started catching fish last night, still a few issues to work out before releasing it. Primarily a little funkiness in CatchAndRelease and fish counters getting reset on restart.


I also decided NOT to automatically drop stuff on the ground, so non-fish items slowly accumulate in your pack (from my testing last night, 4 or 5 items an hour). Rather than potentially lagging the area when a lot of fishermen start polluting the area with their junk, I'll keep it and they can choose to UST or sell the stuff that gets picked up. I will be asking people to PLEASE not just throw it in the water. Help keep Dereth clean!


Final release should be out this evening as soon as the last couple issues are cleared up.

cool
