[Bot] PoolFishingBuddy - BetaTest

[quel]

Nice.. going to try the new build. If i come across anything i will throw a log in your way!

 

[Makelio]

I feel like a fool but I cant get this to work. Do I go to a pool then start or do I need a profile? the description said it was like Archeology so i figured i just started. If i need a profile I have searched for pool fishing profiles and cannot find one could u point me in the right direction.

some profiles i have found in the forums.

give rep to the creators if you like their profiles

It will sometimes dismount before actually reaching the fishing point thus falling into water

Idd, if i remember right kick was looking for people with some routes for fishing so he could create some profiles.

Mod:

We do not like people who use crac ked versions.

No support here

1. Some people might want to skill by fishing in lowlevel pools etc. If you don't want tu lure just disable it.
2. If you char only knows one mount there's not much of a choice
3. No plans for tab3 yet.

didn't mean shouldn't be there, but was more so putting out that any pool (excluding the lava pools in cata) have a no junk skill of 1 meaning no matter what your level if you are fishing from a pool you will always catch the fish in that pool, see el's page on pool fishing here, and more importantly the text outlined in the second area

You can fish any pool with fishing skill 1. With patch 3.3, you will never catch junk items from pools.

meaning if you intend to implement open water fishing then lures are awesome addition, but for poolfishing it may seem a little "bottlike" at least to an experienced fly by fisherman

@ ChibiMatt

Iggi, Chibi is using a crac ked version, ignore him... anyone who has 1/100 sessions = crac ked version

@ iwin

Didn't know that you will never catch junk from pools any more. Thank you for pointing to this. So you think luring should be removed if I don't plan to support open water fishing. I think I will leave it there for now and suggest, not to activate it.

 

[MrB]

he he, this bot makes me so happy

Thank you for it, it's awesome. Thanks to the guy that posted the profiles and to those that wrote them, perhaps they could be included in the OP?

 

[iggi66]

@ ChibiMatt
ignore this user

@ MrB

You are welcome. The profiles are not created by me, so I'm not adding them to the OP. Since the bot is running well so far, I'm going to update my wiki today and add some FAQ for profiling.

Jesus Christ ppl.

It takes like 5min to make a profile.
Here use the template I post further down the post.
Open your favourite text editor (I suggest Notepadd++ but anything goes) , create a new file.
Dont worry about name etc yet.
Then fly to favourite fishing area, fly around where you want to fish, press the "My Position" button on HB (the Tab named "Profiles and Meshes") when you have found a nice spot.
You will see an output in HB that looks like this (the value here is just bogus values - DO NOT USE THEM):

<Hotspot X="99" Y="99" Z="99" />

Now fly on to the next spot, press the same button. Continue doing that until you have made a nice route.
Now .. mark and COPY all those lines from your HB.
It will prolly look like this (once again - im using bogus numbers):

<Hotspot X="99" Y="99" Z="99" />
<Hotspot X="91" Y="91" Z="93" />
<Hotspot X="92" Y="29" Z="99" />
<Hotspot X="93" Y="19" Z="99" />

Now - go to your text editor - PASTE THOSE LINES between the <Hotspots> tags.
It SHOULD look like this:

<Hotspots>
<Hotspot X="99" Y="99" Z="99" />
<Hotspot X="91" Y="91" Z="93" />
</Hotspots>

Save the file as IAMFUCKINGAWESOME.xml

Go to your HB, the status Tab. Press the Load Profile button, locate IAMFUCKINGAWESOME.xml.
Load it.
Start the bot.
Profit.

That template is very basic, it wont repair, it wont mail.
If you need that, plz for the love of god, dont ask here.
Look at the profile and figure it out how the f*ck you add that.
If you cant figure it out you have 3 valid options and 1 not valid.

Valid ones:
1. Read the FAQ.
2. STFU and dont let anyone know how stupid you are.
3. Exclude yourself from the genepool.

The non-valid one:
1. Post here and ask "MY TOON WONT MAIL OR REPAIR!""

I strongly suggest #1 of the Valid ones since thats where it is all explained.
Very simple.
Very easy.

Even I managed to learn.

Thanks iggi66 , tried it one main problem for me probably profile relateded / hb navigation.
E.g near ocean cost in uldum there are little terrain zones where bot could land to fish but navigation can't locate the land since it doesnt connect with anything else and bot will land in water and try again and finally ignore.

Where does this works better? near river in uldum for e.g?

 

[iggi66]

For cost of uldum try higher cast range like 18 and disable "Descend on higher reaches" in the movement tab.

For me there are just 2-3 spots where it fails every time. You might want to blacklist them. Just create a blackspot for your profile nearby the pool location.

I'm going to work on water walking soon..

Ok tried yeah now only failled in 2 spots need to blacklist it.
Working great other than that

 

[iggi66]

Nice to hear that this config is working for you now. Different profiles sometimes need different configs to work propper and you need to find out what's the best

Updated my Wiki pages and added two videos to my placeholder (2nd post).

 

[echelon17]

This is coming along nicely, great work. Just thought I'd offer perhaps another suggestion or two.

1. In some situations the bot will fail the first attempt at locating line of sight on a pool, so will need to move. I notice that when this happens the behaviour is identical every single time the node is approached. What I mean is, say you're doing a lap of a lake - every time a particular "problem" node spawns, it will fail in the exact same way as it did first time and then also correct itself in the exact same way. It correcting itself is great, but perhaps it may make more sense to maintain an internal database of "working cast spots" so that the bot can say "Hey, I've fished from this node before successfully, when standing at 'XYZ' coordinates. Going straight there.". Make sense?

2. The bot seems to know whether or not the cast distance has been set high enough to reach a particular node or not. If that's the case, why not make it dynamic instead? Or perhaps semi-dynamic? I only suggest this because I see the bot already pretty much knows if it can reach a pool based on current settings, so I can't forsee this being that much more work? Correct me if I'm wrong

Again, great work, it's much appreciated!

Could be that if it cant find a cast spot at the default range it tries +5yds and -5yds also, or a configurable amount or even works its way out from the default cast range in 1yd steps to try and find a spot that is closest to the optimal 15yds

Does this bot know everytime if the bobber has hit the pool? If not, is it possible to reduce the area in which the bot accepts a cast as a hit by changing a line in the code? I tried to use Auto Angler in the STV fishing contest but it would often not recast when the cast was a miss. I don't think it ever got it wrong in the Cata fishign pools, though.

It knows when its in the pool.
