    Fishing Ace!  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: v0.9.12
    by: Sutorix [More]

    Fishing Ace! is all the core goodness of Fishing Buddy distilled down into it's simplest form.

    If you equip a fishing pole, you will get double-right-click casting. Optionally, Fishing Ace will turn on Auto Loot and it will set the audio values to maximize the sound of the bobber.

    It's a standard Ace2 addon -- /fishingace or /fa for help.

    Note: The word "Ace!" in the name of the addon has nothing to do with the fact that it uses Ace2 in its construction (although, it *does*, in fact, use Ace2). I just like the name and I think it's cool. If you don't like it, feel free to continue using Fishing Buddy! for all of its not-yet-implemented in Ace2 functionality (not that it uses any of the "Buddy!" system in its construction either);

    Many thanks to Cambria for reworking the IsFishingPole() function to use item IDs. Here's a pre-patched version based on r81 on WoWAce with Cambria's change as well as my fix for "auto best" fishing lure:

    http://server1.underpants-gnomes.biz...FishingAce.zip

    If you previously downloaded my version, you might want to clear your browser cache just to be sure you get the most recent copy (file dates should be Apr 27th).

    I simply love FishingAce!
    But since my recently acquired Jeweled Fishing Pole didn't work with FishingAce, I started to investigate..
    The new fishing poles don't seem work with FishingAce because it checks the icon name of the equipped mainhand item. Blizzard started using new icons for fishing poles, so it doesn't recognize the new fishing poles introduced in 3.1 (I haven't tried the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole).
    In order to solve this problem, I took a different approach to the fishing pole recognition.

    First of all, I added a new table including the ItemIDs of every fishing pole in the game.
    You could add this before the FISHINGLURE table
    Code:
    local FISHINGPOLES = {45992,45991,45858,44050,25978,19970,19022,12225,6367,6366,6365,6256}
    The main changes are in the IsFishingPole() function.
    Just swap this with the old function.
    Code:
    local function IsFishingPole()
	-- Get the main hand item id
	local slot = GetInventorySlotInfo("MainHandSlot")
	local link = GetInventoryItemLink("player", slot)
	local _, id, _ = SplitLink(link)
	-- Check for fishing pole
	for i,val in ipairs(FISHINGPOLES) do
		if (string.find(id,val)~=(nil)) then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
    Instead of comparing the Icons, it compares the ItemIDs.
    This way FishingAce can easily be edited for any new fishing poles Blizzard might implement, since you would only have to add the item ID to the FISHINGPOLES table.
    The amount of lines of code is actually the same. There might be a more elegant solution, but it suited my needs.
    I hope this helps all those lucky enough to acquire one of those fancy new fishing poles.
    Just leave a comment, if I have missed anything.

    Edit: I implemented and tested this in version r81 available at WoWAce.

    If you have a Bone Fishing Pole, you have to edit the lua.

    You'll have to replace

    Code:
    if ( itemTexture and string.find(itemTexture, "INV_Fishingpole") ) then
    with

    Code:
    if ( itemTexture and string.find(itemTexture, "achievement_profession_fishing_journeymanfisher") ) then
    Got the Texture Name trough

    Code:
    /script message(ActionButton1Icon:GetTexture())

    Fishing Ace has worked in WoW 3.0 for a long time. It still works in 3.1 as well. However, the version that works was never posted to WoWI. I've asked the author to submit a more recent version here and to Curse, so maybe we'll see one soon.

    I've also submitted a patch to him to make the "equip best lure" feature actually use the best lure you have based on +skill and duration, as well as added in a new lure released in 3.1 (the Glow Worm).

    In the meantime, here's a link to the working version that includes my patch:

    http://server1.underpants-gnomes.biz...FishingAce.zip


    If you either don't trust my link or don't want my patch and would rather have the official version, you can find a 3.0/3.1 working version here:

    http://www.wowace.com/projects/fishi...files/213-r80/


    You will need to download and install Ace2 separately regardless of which download you choose. The Ace2 libraries are required by Fishing Ace but are not included in the zip.

    I too had to remove FishingAce.

    I would however really appreciate an update as I rather enjoy all the functionality.

    Getting error when move item from Bagnon box to Auctioneer window.
    That is just very stupid error. Why? It reacts already on dragging items!

    Getting the same problems of AutoLoot error boxes when I equip/unequip the fishing pole, as well as when looting fish.

    BrandX's fix to Fishing Ace for 3.02 seems to work fine for some reason though :/
