El Blobbo's Tackle Box (Revised.. Still Beta)

Version: 1.2

by: elblobbo [More]

Rewrote the whole thing. Still a work in progress. There are fishing updates on the test server that should making managing fishing better, so I held off implementing tracking of rare fish count and water type by zone and location until after those updates are pushed live.

You can now bind a key to toggle the tackle box state. The states are.
Minimal - Just update a message in the tackle box window when you catch a fish, or your bait is changed.
ShowBait - Shows your current bait count. Only includes bait you have in your inventory
ShowRares - Lists the rares for your current zone. Text color indicates whether you have caught a fish or not. Green indicates caught, red indicates still needed for the zone fishing achievement.
Inactive - Hides the window and no longer process loot.

Currently you can access the settings through the main settings menu. I am planning on moving my settings to a standalone window to keep from cluttering up the main settings. The current settings are

-State - InActive,Minimal,ShowBait,ShowRares : State can be switched by either typing /ebt in the chat window, or binding a key to toggle the state.
-Active Auto Loot State - On/Off : Currently the only way to track rare fish is to have auto-loot turned off. If the tackle box is in any of the 3 active states, then I turn off the main auto-loot setting. If the "Active Auto Loot State" setting is on, I will auto-loot after I have processed the loot info to see if a rare fish has been caught. If a rare has been caught, the message window will show what rare has been caught. I also send a message to the chat window with a clickable link.
- InActive Auto Loot State - On/Off : Set this to indicate what setting you want AutoLoot to be when the tackle box state is InActive.
- BackGround Alpha: sets the alpha of the window background
- Window Title font size: sets the font size of the window title
- Update message font size: sets the font size of the message
- Bait/Rare font size: sets the font size of the rares and baits.

Version 1.2 - Fixed issue where rare fish weren't loading in The Rift.
- Fixed issue where /ebtv command gave error

Version 1.1 - Rewrote the entire Add/On. See description for details.

Fish caught: [silverside perch] Guts: 261________________Ice Remora Crawlers: 249____________King Sturgeon Insect Parts: 484________White River Pickerel Worms: 386_______________Ghost Haddock (I had to use underscores to push things over for display) Last edited by Xanderificus : 06/17/14 at 07:29 AM.

One thing I might do is just show the window for a certain amount of time when an fishing related event occurs.. i.e. when you catch a rare, i can show the rare list, when you add/remove bait from your inventory, i can show the bait list, otherwise, I can just leave the window hidden.

Anyway, now that I am back into fishing, I'll be giving this a little more attention.

I've seen some addons that hide when entering combat. Can the API tell you when you 'exit' fishing?

Thanks for the input. I'll make sure and redo the screenshots for my next update

I thought about hard-coding the rares, but the way I do it now is much cleaner and I don't have to worry about any changes they might make to names, etc. I have been busy with work and questing, but I am going to get back on this. I'll play around and see what I can do to enhance it based on the fishing changes the released with the Craglorn update. Now that I am VR12 and have access to all the zones, my next venture is to try and get all the fishing achievements, so I'll be using this a lot more. Anyway, I'll update in a couple days. I'll take a look at hiding after a certain amount of time, but the thing that might hold me back is that I try to avoid adding any kind of timers, as that's just another thing to suck up resources. Right now the add/on is basically a passive addon that only reacts to certain events (zone change, loot-updated, etc.). That's one of the reasons I added the bindable key so you could toggle between off/minimized/bait/fish. I'll see if I can figure out a way via the events to activate when fishing, and turn off when not. It's a good idea and would be nice.

First off, I'm sorry. I had this enabled for a little while and saw nothing but a small box so I disabled it. Once I noticed the keybinding option and that there were multiple screens to go through: FANTASTIC!!!

I don't know if the lists are hard-coded or not but, if they are, could I suggest adding what water type each fish comes from?

Scum Carp (foul)
Rainbow Zander (lake)
Ash Shad (river)
Akaviri Wrasse (sea)
Tench (lake)
Lake Chub (lake)
Ricefish (river)
Thorny Catfish (river)
Stinkfish (foul)
Fungusfish (foul)
Travally (sea)
Armorhead (sea)

Maybe, instead of red/green, stick to the blue/green and use checkmarks?

UI suggestion: Could the window auto-hide when not fishing? Say a 15 second delay (so that we can read it if we're just between casts?

Don't judge a book by its cover... also its STILL BETA!
Maybe he puts more time into developing and improving the addon then on writing a great text for it.
ppl sharing addons here often do the addons for themself an we can be glad to use them too.
I also don't see whats wrong with the text.

BTW I coud say the same about your SpamBayes addon. I use SpamFilter because its clear what is can do just by the name and option menu from the screenshot. It however has a horrible addon page.
But it you don't know what the "algorythm as seen in spambayes" then you may say WTH is means "Scores from 0 to 100% messages". Also I need to read a Wikipedia page first to understand what its doing. NOT BETTER.

I am working on a complete rewrite, so I'll see what I can do. I've never used Lua so my first pass at this was pathetic.

One thing I am working on now is a way to notify you if a rare fish is caught, and provide a link in chat, as well as an option to broadcast the catch to friend/guild/zone etc.. Right now, I am pretty sure the only way is to have auto-loot turned off (which is a pain for everything else), or periodically check your fishing achievements. If I can figure this one out, I'm definitly going to write a loot addon for my alchemist. Looting boxes and crates and barrels is a pain because all I really want are the waters, could care less about the food/drink ingredients. I would love to have a loot helper that would just auto-loot water and leave the rest for the provisioners.

Anyway, it's a lot of trial and error messing with the apis and events, and of course I actually have to catch a few rares to try and figure that part out.

As far as the water, it's something I am working on as well, tracking all the water you have fished, including water type, bait used, and any rares that are caught.

Was hoping to get a lot more done on this over the weekend but forgot about family commitments.

Something that annoys me quite a bit, is no tracking of what kind of type of water you have completed in a zone. Unless you write it down (or have a very good memory) you might end up fishing in a river where you already have gotten all the rare fish needed for achievement.
Any way of tracking this?
