I'm back :)


Leaving for a week, if there are any questions – please read the manual more carefully, also answers to frequently asked questions can be found in FAQ and on the forum.


Version 4.6.0m released with support for game client 3.3.5. In addition to new client support, a flaw was fixed that caused GM-check to trigger after reconnection for some users. You can download the new version from the same link (in site menu).


Version 4.5.9m released. It turned out that the bot file protection caused a minor bug — bobber detection only triggered every other time and required two bot launches. This issue was fixed in the new version, which can be downloaded from the same link or via the update button. To update, just install into the same folder without deleting the old one.


Version 4.5.8m released, in which a flaw was fixed that caused bot to clean bags. The reason was the player switching keyboard language to English while bot was paused. Now on unpausing, language is force-switched to Russian. This doesn’t affect usage with English clients. Bot can be downloaded from the same link in the "Download" section.


Version 4.5.7 released, in which the issue with disconnect detection on Battle.net accounts containing multiple accounts was fixed.


It turned out that after patch 3.3.3, the reconnect after disconnect stopped working. This issue was fixed in version 4.5.6, which can be downloaded at the same link in the site menu.


Uploaded version 4.5.5 with support for client 3.3.3. Download in the same place, or using the built-in update check in the bot.


Uploaded a new version 4.5.4 which introduced support for client 3.3.2. Don’t forget to select the client version at the top of the bot!!! You can download the new version as usual via the link in the site menu — Download, or update from inside the bot itself.


Uploaded version 4.5.3 in which the “Only selected” mode was fixed on Windows 7.


Uploaded version 4.5.2, in which reconnect for English-language versions was fixed, as well as incorrect startup via shortcut.


Uploaded version 4.5.1m, in which:
- fixed issue where an error occurred when trying to select the next client version after 3.3.0;
- fixed checking of number of casts on disconnect, now the bot no longer interprets disconnect as GM-check after 6 failed casts;
- increased thresholds for detecting OLO message and disconnect message, now they should be detected more accurately;
- reduced vertical cursor offset by 2.5× on bite, so the cursor doesn’t skip over the bobber;
- increased speed of bobber detection by ×20, now it is more accurate.
You can download the new version using the link in the site menu.


With the release of bot 4.5m, the policy for receiving additional keys and new versions of the bot was changed. Starting today, after purchasing just ONE key you receive a 50% discount on all subsequent purchases. Also the “eternal” key policy was revised. Now the purchased key + activation code will work on the versions released until the subsequent global WoW patch. If less than 30 days pass between your purchase and the next global patch, then your purchased key will be reset in the database and you may continue using it with the new version.


Uploaded a new version 4.5m, in which:
- added support for client 3.3.0;
- changed disconnect analysis, greatly reducing false detection;
- temporarily removed queue analysis when reconnecting after disconnect.


Updated FAQ — now it corresponds to the current version of the bot and contains answers to the most frequently asked questions at the moment...


While testing 4.4.5 I forgot to disable sound playback when detecting an invitation to OLO. Fixed this oversight in 4.4.6.


Uploaded version 4.4.5m in which:
- fixed an issue where the Disconnect flag position was not saved — now it saves properly;
- removed password masking — now you see what you type;
- removed password length restriction — now you can type any password.


As practice showed, releasing software on Friday the 13th isn’t a great idea.) In version 4.4.3m a number of issues were found, which were fixed in the new version.

So, in version 4.4.4m:
- fixed an error with incorrect password input — now everything is entered correctly;
- partially redesigned reconnect system after disconnect. After 4 hours of testing I came to the conclusion that it probably never should have worked if reconnect didn't occur on the first attempt.) Sounds stupid coming from me, but I honestly don’t know how it worked for 2 years. Now fixed;
- fixed LUA error when entering long names in excluded items list — now everything is entered normally;
- now 10-, 15-, etc. pound fish are properly discarded (previously either remained in bags or attempt to discard caused LUA error);
- after 3 weeks of testing it was determined that OLO mode cannot function without reconnect: after 29 minutes in character selection screen, client forcibly disconnects. Therefore OLO fishing can only be enabled with reconnect allowed;
- fixed error where bot did not search for bobber on its first run (cursor only moved on second run);
- added additional disconnect validation for movement & death-triggered events, reducing false positives;
- per user request, removed automatic window hiding after starting fishing.


New version 4.4.3m released, in which:
- added update check;
- now able to fish in holes;
- added selectable actions on disconnect;
- changed disconnect reconnection behavior (now only password entry is required);
- added hidden logging options and additional parameters;
- added disconnect logic — if less than 2 minutes remain before OLO starts, disconnect is not triggered and fight start is awaited.


Uploaded version 4.4.2 in which:
- finally fixed false triggering of GM-check;
- implemented verification to eliminate false fishing commands sent to chat, which caused idle states;
- adjusted reconnect — now the bot does not interpret disconnect as GM-check.
New version can be downloaded via the same link in the site menu.


Re-uploaded version 4.4.1 — reduced detection sensitivity for coordinate shifts. On my machine, bot ran for 2×40 min without false trigger. Also changed login/password input method — replaced controls with shifts.

Request to test movement tracking and report results.


Version 4.4 of the bot released, in which:
- added reaction to movement/rotation of character, as well as reaction to multiple unsuccessful casts;
- added function of saving PM screenshots;
- removed auto-target-clear function;
- fixed sound playback — now sound is played correctly on any system;
- increased pre-logout timer for OLO — now exit happens 2 minutes before combat start;
- added pop-up tooltips with timers — time till logout and pause duration are now displayed in top-left corner;
- fixed character selection after OLO logout — now selection follows main bot settings;
- introduced new text input system, allowing use of logins/passwords with special characters.
You can download the new version at the same link in the menu.


Uploaded version 4.3 in which the issue was fixed where in “Catch all except” mode on certain Windows versions bot deleted all items from bags. Download link in site menu.
For users with sound issues — special version: http://fish-bot.at.ua/setup_sound.rar


Final version of the new bot 4.2 released. Download link is the same — in the site menu.
For users with sound issues — special version: http://fish-bot.at.ua/setup_sound.rar


Beta version of the new bot released — 4.2 Beta, in which:
- filtering system changed — fully redesigned algorithm for adding exception items and openable items into the database (multiple openable items can now be tracked);
- adaptation for OLO lake fishing added. To function correctly, fishing must start at least 16 minutes before lake event begins, so that bot correctly calculates OLO timer.

Download link for the current beta version: http://fish-bot.at.ua/4-2beta3.rar – all keys from previous version work with this one.
The version is in testing — those who want to help, read here: http://fish-bot.at.ua/forum/2-60-1


Uploaded version 4.1.1 in which the issue with death notification was fixed. Now this function works.


Uploaded public version 4.1 in which:
- fixed issue with shutdown during reconnect after disconnect — now reconnect works normally;
- added additional action button — if you need the bot to press some key periodically during fishing (e.g. Icy Path), now it is possible;
- added selectable actions upon character death: bot can either shut down the PC, or produce sound notification and go into pause mode;
- added sound notification as PM reaction with 3-minute pause;
- reduced time before first cast after applying bait by 7 seconds — now there is no idle time after baiting;
- reduced sensitivity of death detection — now false detection should not occur.
New version available at the same link in the site menu — simply install it into the same folder as previous version (no need to remove the old version first).


Re-uploaded version 4.0. Fixed defect with “crazy cursor” and constant rod recasting.


Full version 4.0 released, in which:
- fishing algorithm completely redesigned — no longer dependent on splash color — works in any zone, at any time, in any weather;
- now possible to fish in Dalaran fountain;
- bot now analyzes only YOUR bobber, allowing to fish among crowds of players without interference;
- expanded bot settings — now you can configure recast delay, junk deletion intervals, etc.
Download at the same link in site menu.


I decided to use a new algorithm that does not rely on splashes. This algorithm was implemented in version 4.0 beta. On my PC the bot shows 90–95% efficiency. I would like it tested on your machines to see the results.

Thanks to the new algorithm it became possible to fish among other players — bot analyzes only your bobber — and also possible to fish in Dalaran fountain.

Download 4.0 beta here: http://fish-bot.at.ua/4-0-beta.rar

All keys used for 3.6.x are valid for this version. Just unpack into bot folder and run new executable.

Did not make a text instruction since more functionality planned. Video instructions available: http://fish-bot.at.ua/4-0-beta.avi

Important changes:

- Bobber must fall into the cursor–outlined area AND be ABOVE the cast bar
- In video settings disable Hardware Cursor, all effects including particle density — set to minimum (not required but reduces load)
- No fishing holes allowed in analyzed area (temporary restriction)

Please report bugs in guestbook.




Uploaded public version 3.6.3 — http://fish-bot.at.ua/setup_full.rar
(or the already installed bot — http://fish-bot.at.ua/fb363.rar )

In the new version:

- fixed an issue causing the “Line -1” error;
- fixed color detection for OLO — now bot is almost never wrong;

- fixed broken PM reaction after switching to 3.1.0;
- added support for the following fishing zones: Icecrown Lake, Ironforge, Dun Morogh, Stormwind, Elwynn Forest, Darnassus, Teldrassil.
The next additions will be Horde capitals and nearby zones.


Uploaded public version 3.6.1

This version works with 3.1.0 and is fully adapted for fishing in the following Northrend zones:

- Borean Tundra
- Dalaran (Sewers)
- Dragonblight
- Crystalsong Forest
- Sholazar Basin
- Howling Fjord
- and all 3.0.x server zones

This list will soon be extended to include all zones used for fish farming.

P.S. Be sure to read the new instructions regarding video settings. The numbers next to zone names are recommended detection precision values for those zones. Also note that precision now ranges around 45–70.
P.P.S. As of today, promotional issuance of extra keys for additional computers is discontinued. If you want to use the bot on additional PCs, you need to purchase the corresponding number of keys.


New version of the bot v.3.6 released.
In the new version small flaws of 3.5 were fixed, random bot window title generation (anti-Warden) was added, and bot icon was changed.
Download the new version at the same link: http://fish-bot.at.ua/setup_full.rar
Before installing the new version, remove the old one, preserving set.ini, which should be copied into new folder afterward.


Version 3.5 released — details can be read in the guestbook.
Activation codes for the new bot were sent to all customers who left their e-mail during purchase.
If someone did not receive the code, write to [email protected], and be sure to include the WMID used for purchase.


Preparing release of version 3.5, in which:
- fishing algorithm rewritten again, solving horizon-line shifting problem completely;
- allowed exclusion of multiple types of fish from loot;
- adapted for stable use on slow computers;
- added auto-shutdown if character dies;
- improved auto-reconnect during server restarts and offline periods.
Estimated release date — February 15.


Version 3.4 released. In the new version flaws and bugs of 3.3 were corrected, and the area scanned by the bot was extended.

In version 3.4:

- extended analyzed area. Now horizon line should be set at the level of the 6th button of vertical spell bar, eliminating the need to enter water waist-deep — fishing can be done from shore;
- for clarity before fishing, bot highlights with mouse the area it will analyze;
- removed debug logging to log.txt (file shouldn’t exist at all);
- fixed issue in “Catch only” mode — now bot correctly processes loot and if there are 2 desired fish in loot window, bot collects both (in 3.3 only one was collected).

The new version is available for purchase and will be sent to buyers in next few days.


A new version of the bot v.3.3 has been released.
In the new version:
- fixed small inconsistencies with the release of Lich King — now the bot is fully compatible with this addon;
- finally added a pause button for the bot;
- due to Blizzard grouping shells into stacks of 20, the hard-coded shell-opening in the bot has been replaced with the ability to manually enter the desired openable item — you can now choose which item to open during fishing;
- added the ability to enter into the loot database items located in the second position in the loot window (previously, only the first item in loot could be stored, preventing items like Deviate Fish that appear only alongside other fish in slot #2 from being registered);
- changed the filtering logic in “Catch everything except”: now all loot goes to bags and every 10 minutes the excluded items are deleted. This noticeably speeds up fishing and prevents accidental deletion of items dropped together with excluded fish;
- added shutdown options — shutdown computer / shutdown bot / shutdown bot and WoW;
- added teleport-to-inn feature before auto-shutdown;
- added selection of spellbar panel for the required buttons. After disconnect & auto-relogin, WoW always resets to spellbar #1 — switching panels is done via Shift+Number;

Trial version is also available for download.


Preparing the release of the new bot v.3.3, which will be fully oriented towards WotLK. Many functions broken by WotLK will be fixed & improved.
Planned features:
- add new shells & boxes for auto-opening;
- auto-opening selection per continent;
- improved reconnect & login after disconnect;
- handling items that become soulbound upon pickup;
- fixing fishing behavior due to the appearance of Deviate Fish (caught only with something else);
- separated auto-shutdown of bot vs shutdown of computer (in first case WoW will be closed);
- add several additional useful functions;
- introducing account binding. After purchase you won’t get the bot itself but a code to obtain it. Contact me with the activation code and your WoW login — you will receive a personalized bot that works only with the account login provided…


Released the new version of the bot — v3.0.
In this version:
- fully redesigned interface — all settings in one window;
- fixed the issue with fast reaction to false triggers followed by bot stalling;
- fixed the login input after disconnect;
- added 2 new fishing modes — you can manually choose which fish to catch and which to ignore.


Released version 2.5. It includes the ability to enable/disable shell auto-opening, fixes the algorithm for “alchemical fish only”, and fixes issues under Windows Vista.


Released new version — v2.4

Added:
- quick-start — launching with previous settings;
- AUTO-OPENING OF SHELLS (Big-mouth Clam, Jaggal Clam, Small Barnacled Clam, Soft-shelled Clam, Thick-shelled Clam);
- automatic keyboard layout switching — no need to manually change to English before launching — the bot does it itself.

The new version has been sent to all buyers.


After sabotage from competitors and a week of downtime, the site has resumed operation. Only the guestbook remains to be restored.


The bot was tested on the official servers, the character stood for 4 hours and caught a ton of fish — and the system didn’t notice anything…


Added option to catch only alchemical fish. If you fish for alchemy, this greatly reduces bag clutter.


Added auto-shutdown of computer after a specified time interval.


Due to many requests, the bot price was reduced.
Its new cost: 4.49 USD.


Birthday of my bot.
Finally, the bot was fully stress-tested for edge cases after disconnect and put on sale across platforms…
Starting price: $5.99
