Fishbringer  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.13-3
by: amnith [More]

Fishbringer is a lightweight addon for helping out when leveling fishing. It shows helpful information regarding how much skill is needed for the particular zones. It shows how much skill you have and how many fish you are going to need (at most) to get the next skill point.

This addon was initially written by me over a decade ago. I've tried to fix it up, make it more coherent, and also adding several quality of life changes.

Usage notes:

  • The addon supports both /fishbringer and /fb slash commands. (If Fishing Buddy is installed and loaded, /fb will not be available.)
  • Fishbringer will be automatically shown when you equip a fishing pole.
  • To move Fishbringer, hold down [Alt] and drag it to where you want it.

Commands:
  • /fishbringer show - Toggle Fishbringer's visbility.
  • /fishbringer align - Cycle through text alignments (default: right).*
  • /fishbringer count - Toggles visibility of fish count. Some people don't want to know how many fish they need, as the number will take away their joy of fishing.
  • /fishbringer reset - If I, you, or anyone else on the intertubes break the database, all addon settings and the catch counter can be reset with this command.

Please report any issues to me and I will try to fix them. If a zone is marked with 0 in skill and it is possible to fish there, please notify me.

1.13-3
- Moving Fishbringer will now persist through multiple sessions.

1.13-2
- A classic addon gets a Classic reformation.
- Rewrote many parts to mitigate the amount of facepalms from ancient code.

*10 years of tumbleweed*

3.0.2
- Added Shadowmoon Valley to zones. Fishing skill required: 280 (375 gives 100% catch rate)
- Added slash /fb if Fishing Buddy is not loaded, and resultingly an OptionalDeps to Fishing Buddy.
- Added slash /fbr.
- Minor fixes, nothing worth giving any more thought to. :)

3.0.1
- Added Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole to known fishing poles.
- Removed the slash /fb for compatibility with Fishing Buddy.

3.0
- Initial release for Wrath of the Lich King; First public release \o/
Optional Files (0)

You don't need the OptDep; select(4, GetAddOnInfo("FishingBuddy")) will tell you whether FishingBuddy is installed and enabled at the character screen regardless of whether or not it's actually been loaded yet.

Also, I see now the name is an Ashbringer reference... I originally thought it was a Wishbringer reference.

It's a pun from my side. Apart from the name, it doesn't do anything different as "Corrupted". Think of a famous weapon...

You could always just change the small version.

/fsb
/fib
/fishb
/fbring

possibilities are endless.

As long as both addons provide a non-abbreviated slash command, it's fine to include the short one too. One will override the other if both are loaded, but it should be consistent and therefore not an issue. Don't punish users of your addon who don't use FishingBuddy by making them type the whole long command.

Alternatively, you could just check to see if FishingBuddy is installed and enabled -- select(4, GetAddOnInfo("FishingBuddy")) -- and only register the short command if it's not.

Anyway, nice name.

That is a bug, and clearly not the way I intend it to be. Could you please clarify for me what you were fishing and where with what skill and what fishing pole?

EDIT: It might be because of the reason explained below by Juhakosk. See if you experience the same with 3.0.1 (should be up soonish).

1. That's just me forgetting to add it to the list of known fishing poles. I've added it now, and it'll be in on the update later today.

2. As I want Fishbringer to be compatible with other addons, I'll remove that abbreviation (/fb) in the update.

Thanks for your reports.
