About Fishing Buddy EBA

This is the "everything but anchovies" version -- the download contains all of the Fishing Buddy related add-ons in one convenient package.

This package includes the following add-ons:

Fishing Buddy (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11206/)
Fishing Buddy -- Bar Support (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11219/)
Fishing Buddy -- Merge Data (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11218/)
Fishing Buddy -- Outfit Frame (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11207/)
Fishing Buddy -- Tracking (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/11217/)

A full-service fishing add-on.

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

Features:
- 'Easy Cast' lets you double-right-click to cast when a Fishing Pole is equipped
'Easy Lures' will put a lure on if you need one
'Auto Loot' will turn on the auto-loot function if it's not on already (but only while you fish)
- '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
- Full Titan Panel support
- myAddOns support
- Preliminary 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

There are two actual add-ons -- the second one, OutfitDisplayFrame, handles the pretty pane to set up your fishing outfit (it's next on the list to be made into something more general that anyone can use). The OutfitDisplayFrame addon can be safely left out if you have a preferred equipment manager.

alt-clicking on an item in your outfit display will clear it

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).

Thanks to the authors of:

TackleBox -- the original!

QuickWeaponSwap

and many, many others.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Dang, I switched to FishingAce, not realizing it didn't have a tracking feature. Not sure if the reduced size of FA is worth the tracking that FB has.

I'm curious if there is a way to sort the Fish List that I've caught alphabeticly? It seems to start that way, but then as you scroll down, you'll notice that it really isn't.

I'm having a similar problems with installation. Everything installs but the fubar_fishingbuddyfu. I get an error saying a file already exists by that name in that folder. I am deleting that folder before trying to install. Inside the folder is another folder called "Windows" which I believe is the folder that is causing the error message. I'm running XP SP3.

Something in Fishing Buddy is killing my tooltips. Half of the tooltips - those for ore, weapons, armor - don't work with Fishing Buddy enabled. They flash on the screen for a split second, then disappear. Enable just Fishing Buddy with or without any of the extras and they're broken. Disable Fishing Buddy and they work.

@Kovee -- that sounds like a Curse problem -- that URL looks like the one that worked for me.

@Fimbul_Fambi -- I'm not seeing that behavior on my Mac or on my PC, so I'm not sure how to help you...

That's odd. I'm running Windows XP sp2 and using IZArc 3.7 When I open the archive file prior to expanding it, there is a list of folders. The folder named FuBar_FishingBuddyFu has a folder in it with no name, and that folder has in it a folder called Libs and that folder has in it five folders, each with files. I get the same thing every time I download from Curse. Whenever I try to expand the archive, I get an error from any of the files/folders under the un-named folder. I could email you a screen shot if you like.

As I said, I don't use FuBar, so the problem isn't likely to effect me. If no one else has a problem, we should be able to ignore it.

I can not download the new fishing buddy I get this message when I try. The requested URL /dl2/47/54/939.zip/FishingBuddy-v0.9.4m-Full.zip was not found on this server.

Thanks,

There is a problem with the FishingBuddy-v0.9.4m-Full.zip file. There is an "unnamed" folder under the FuBar folder which creates an error when extracting the files under FuBar. Since I don't use FuBar, I'm assuming that I'm OK, but I thought that you should know.

@all -- updated for patch 2.4.3, Easy Cast works again. (Or, at least, as soon as 0.9.4m gets approved -- until then, download 0.9.4m of straight FishingBuddy and it will get you everything that EBA has for changes).

Thnx, Sutorix. As many others have said, fishing just isn't fun without FB. I think I'll just try to avoid fishing until it's fixed. Your hard work is much appreciated.

@all -- Easy Cast is broken by patch 2.4.3, I'm investigating what's going on. Everything else works fine -- turn off Easy Cast for now, I'll get a new version out as soon as I can.

After 2.4.3 patch, I also loose any right click ability in my mouse when trying to fish. I have disabled every addon except fishing buddy and its related packages.
Easy Cast is on, of course. Please figure out a fix for this because it is the only way to fish and without it, fishing sucks more then it does already. Thanks.
