Extreme FishingKit - TBC Anniversary Edition - Changelog

v1.3.3

Bug Fixes

  • Incorrect fishing pool coordinates — Corrected pool spawn coordinates across 18 zones (Tanaris, Azshara, Stranglethorn Vale, Feralas, The Hinterlands, Felwood, Western Plaguelands, Moonglade, Un'Goro Crater, Eastern Plaguelands, Burning Steppes, Winterspring, Deadwind Pass, Silithus, Scholomance, Stratholme, Zul'Gurub, and more). Removed inland entries and added GatherMate2-verified coastal positions.
  • Stale pool data persisted forever — MergePoolData only added static entries to SavedVariables but never removed them when the static data was corrected. Added a pruning step that removes entries with timesSeen=0 that no longer match any static PoolData entry.

Files Modified

  • modules/PoolData.lua (corrected coordinates across 18 zones)
  • modules/Pools.lua (added stale entry pruning in MergePoolData)

v1.3.2

Bug Fixes

  • Catches double-counted — LOOT_READY can fire twice for the same loot window (once for data-ready, once for auto-loot), causing every catch to be recorded twice. Added a _lootProcessed guard flag in OnLootReady that is cleared on FISHING_COMPLETE and FISHING_MISSED.

Files Modified

  • modules/Statistics.lua (loot-processed guard, FISHING_COMPLETE subscription)

v1.3.1

Re-release of v1.3.0 to trigger CurseForge stable upload (beta-to-stable tag conversion did not publish).

v1.3.0

Bug Fixes

  • Enhanced audio while fishing not working — IsFishingSpell always returned false for UNIT_SPELLCAST_CHANNEL_START/CHANNEL_STOP because TBC Classic Anniversary uses the modern 3-arg event signature (unit, castGUID, spellID) where spellID is arg3, not the old 5-arg format where spellID is arg5. This broke enhanced sound, cast timer, and the fishing state machine. Restored dual-signature handling with arg5 or arg3 fallback, matching BetterFishing's approach.

  • Sound stuck after interrupted fishing — UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTED did not fire any event that restored enhanced sound. Replaced direct module calls with FK.Events:Fire("FISHING_MISSED")/"FISHING_FAILED"; Alerts now subscribes to FISHING_FAILED.

Removed

  • Shattrath fishing daily quest tracker removed — the feature was non-functional and has been removed entirely.

Internal Refactoring

  • FK.Events pub/sub event bus — Core.lua now fires named events (FISHING_STARTED, BOBBER_LANDED, FISHING_BITE, FISHING_COMPLETE, ZONE_CHANGED, etc.) instead of calling module methods directly. All modules subscribe in their Initialize() functions, decoupling the event source from the listeners.

  • State getter functions — Added FK:GetZone(), FK:GetSubZone(), FK:IsFishing(), FK:GetCastStartTime(), FK:GetFishingSkill(), and FK:HasLure(). All modules now read state through these getters instead of accessing FK.State.* fields directly.

  • Named constants — Magic numbers for loot delays and inventory slot numbers replaced with named locals.

  • FK:ForEachBagSlot() helper — Bag iteration loops consolidated into a single shared iterator.

  • StatsPanel.lua extracted — ~1000 lines of statistics window UI moved from Statistics.lua into a new modules/StatsPanel.lua.

  • TryRestorePole extracted — Combat pole-restore retry logic extracted into a named function.

  • UI.lua section headers — Frame creation and runtime sections labeled with clear boundary comments.

v1.2.4

Bug Fixes

  • Daily quest reminder fires even when quest was already turned in — IsQuestComplete() only returns true while quest objectives are done but not yet handed in; it returns nil for already-turned-in quests. Replaced with GetQuestsCompleted()[questID] which correctly reflects daily quests completed (turned in) today until the next daily reset.

  • Zone Fish (%) panel stayed visible after closing main window — UI:Hide() hid the main frame but not the ZoneFish panel anchored below it. Added explicit FK.ZoneFish:Hide() call in UI:Hide(). Also added missing ZF:Hide() and ZF:Show() methods to ZoneFish.lua (the missing method caused a silent Lua error).

Performance

  • AH price scan is now much faster on repeat visits — Each scan result is now timestamped in ahPriceTimes. Items priced within the last 4 hours are skipped on subsequent visits. The first daily scan still queries everything; follow-up visits to the AH skip already-fresh prices and complete almost instantly.

Files Modified

  • modules/DailyQuests.lua — GetStatus
  • modules/UI.lua — UI:Hide
  • modules/ZoneFish.lua — added ZF:Hide, ZF:Show; refactored ZF:Toggle
  • Core.lua — StartAHScan, ReadAHResults, default db schema (ahPriceTimes)

v1.2.3

Bug Fixes

  • Daily quest reminder now fires when no quest has been picked up yet — previously the login reminder only printed if the quest was already in the player's quest log; it was silent when the player hadn't visited Old Man Barlo yet, which is the most common case. Now reminds to visit Barlo when no daily is in progress and none has been completed today.

  • Stats panel now matches addon theme — replaced WoW's native UIPanelCloseButton with a custom × close button; dimmed the "Statistics" title word to match Config/Daily panels; replaced UIPanelScrollFrameTemplate (WoW silver scroll bar) with a plain scroll frame, mousewheel scrolling, and a thin custom scroll thumb. Tab switches now reset scroll position to the top.

Files Modified

  • modules/DailyQuests.lua — CheckLoginReminder
  • modules/Statistics.lua — CreateStatsPanel, ShowTab

v1.2.2

Meta

  • Switched to CurseForge Automatic Packaging (removed GitHub Actions workflow)

v1.2.1

Meta

  • Renamed addon to Extreme FishingKit
  • Added CurseForge auto-release via GitHub Actions (BigWigsMods/packager)

v1.2.0

New Features

Shattrath Fishing Daily Tracker

  • Tracks the 5 rotating Outland fishing daily quests offered by Old Man Barlo (Silmyr Lake, Terokkar Forest)
  • Quests tracked: Crocolisks in the City, Fish Don't Leave Footprints, Felblood Fillet, Shrimpin' Ain't Easy, The One That Got Away
  • Shows completion status for each quest: Done (green), In Progress (cyan), or — (dim, not offered today)
  • Toggle the panel via /fk daily or the Show Daily Tracker button in Config > Auto
  • /fk daily print prints the status to chat
  • Login reminder: if an active fishing daily is in the quest log, prints a hint with the required fish and zone (toggle in Config > Auto > DAILY QUESTS)
  • Panel updates live when a daily quest is turned in (QUEST_TURNED_IN event)
  • New module: modules/DailyQuests.lua

Auto-Lure Reapply

  • After each catch (on LOOT_CLOSED), Extreme FishingKit checks whether the fishing pole has an active lure
  • If no lure is active, or the current lure expires within 5 seconds, the best lure found in bags is applied automatically via UseContainerItem + UseInventoryItem(16)
  • Double-click cast integration: when double-right-clicking to cast with no lure active, a SecureActionButton injects a /use bag slot + /use 16 macro on that click — lure is applied immediately, Fishing casts on the next double-click
  • Uses GLOBAL_MOUSE_DOWN event (same approach as FishingBuddy) so SetOverrideBindingClick takes effect on the current mouse-down event
  • Prints a confirmation message with the lure name and bonus on successful application
  • Toggle on/off in Config > Auto > LURE section
  • Files changed: Core.lua, modules/Equipment.lua, modules/Config.lua, modules/UI.lua

v1.1.0

New Features

Combat Weapon Swap

  • Auto-swap weapons on combat entry — when a fishing pole is equipped and you enter combat, your saved combat weapons (mainhand + offhand) are immediately equipped using EquipItemByName("item:ID", slot) — the only format that works under combat lockdown
  • Pole restoration after combat — after combat ends, only the fishing pole is restored (not the full fishing gear set, which would corrupt the normal gear save)
  • combatWeapons saved separately in per-character DB from normalGear, so saving/restoring normal gear does not interfere with the combat weapon swap
  • Guard prevents re-equipping a pole already in the mainhand slot (avoids picking it up and leaving an empty slot)
  • Toggle on/off in the new Automation config tab

Zone Fish Panel

  • New expandable panel anchored below the main HUD, toggled with the % button in the title bar
  • Shows every fish/item caught in the current zone, sorted by catch rate (descending)
  • Columns: fish name, count, and catch rate percentage (e.g. "Golden Darter 42.3%")
  • Header shows current zone name; updates every 2 seconds while visible
  • Pre-creates up to 12 FontString rows — no GC pressure on refresh
  • Dynamically resizes to fit the number of entries
  • Implemented as a standalone module (ZoneFish.lua)

Auto-Open Containers

  • Automatically opens fishing crates and scroll cases after each fishing loot window closes
  • Supported containers: Waterlogged Crate, Inscribed Scrollcase, Curious Crate, and other known fishing loot containers
  • Items staggered 0.5 seconds apart to avoid server throttling
  • Re-verifies each bag slot before opening in case inventory changed
  • Toggle on/off in the new Automation config tab

Automation Config Tab

  • New dedicated Auto tab in the config panel (between Routes and Stats)
  • Consolidates all automation settings from their previous scattered locations:
    • CASTING: Double-right-click to cast
    • GEAR: Auto-save normal gear when equipping fishing gear; Auto swap weapons in combat
    • LOOT: Auto-open crates and scroll cases after fishing
    • TRACKING: Auto-enable Find Fish when equipping fishing gear

UI Redesign

  • Main panel fully restyled with a clean minimal dark aesthetic — dark background, thin accent borders, no Blizzard template chrome
  • Config panel matching redesign — flat tab buttons with accent underline for active tab, custom checkboxes (14px square with accent fill), custom slider (thin track + thumb)
  • Stats window restyled to match the main panel theme
  • All Blizzard icon/template buttons replaced with minimal styled text buttons

Fixes

  • Cast timer reset on re-cast: castStartTime now unconditionally set at CHANNEL_START — previously guarded by a nil-check which prevented it from updating on the second cast
  • Casts counted at resolution: casts now counted at CHANNEL_STOP (fish bite / got away), not at CHANNEL_START, so cancelled casts before the bobber lands aren't counted
  • CHANNEL_STOP guard on re-cast: stale CHANNEL_STOP from the previous bobber after a re-cast is ignored via channelCastGen comparison
  • Three session/cast tracking bugs: fixed session state not resetting correctly, double-counting casts during rapid re-casts, and stale loot state persisting across sessions
  • Enhanced sound timing: sound restore now matches BetterFishing timing exactly — restores after loot closes, not on channel stop

Performance

  • SavedVariables size halved: large history arrays (lootHistory, biteTimes) excluded from account-wide backup to reduce file size
  • Bite confidence cached per zone: GetBiteConfidence result cached and invalidated only on new catches, eliminating redundant percentile recalculation on every frame
  • Split update rates: cast bar updates at 0.1s; panel stats (session numbers, gold/hr) update at 1.0s — reduces CPU load during active fishing
  • Gold/hr display: rate recalculated every 10s instead of every frame update

Refactors

  • Addon reorganized into modules/ and media/ subfolders for cleaner project structure
  • RecordCatch split into focused local helpers for clarity
  • Dead code from the old bag-diff catch approach removed
  • History list trimming simplified from a while-loop to an if-check (lists are bounded)

Files Modified

  • FishingKit.toc (version 1.0.12 → 1.1.0, added modules\ZoneFish.lua)
  • Core.lua (combatWeapons in defaultCharDB, autoOpenContainers setting, PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED/ENABLED combat weapon handlers, LOOT_CLOSED auto-open trigger)
  • modules/Equipment.lua (EquipCombatWeapons, SaveNormalGear saves combatWeapons, already-equipped guard)
  • modules/UI.lua (full dark redesign, % Zone Fish toggle button, AutoOpenContainers)
  • modules/Config.lua (full dark redesign, new CreateAutomationTab, settings moved from General/Gear/Pools)
  • modules/Statistics.lua (RecordCatch refactor, SavedVariables size optimization)
  • modules/ZoneFish.lua (new module)

v1.0.12

Changes

  • Updated interface version to 20505 (TBC Classic Anniversary 2.5.5)
  • Fixed catch tracking reliability — replaced intermittent bag-diff approach with LOOT_READY + IsFishingLoot() (Blizzard built-in API). LOOT_READY fires before auto-loot processes items so the loot table is always populated. Catches are now tracked consistently regardless of auto-loot settings or player reaction time.

Files Modified

  • FishingKit.toc (interface 20504 → 20505, version 1.0.11 → 1.0.12)
  • Core.lua (version string, LOOT_READY event registration and handler)
  • Statistics.lua (OnLootReady replaces TakeBagSnapshot/OnLootClosed bag-diff logic)

v1.0.11

Improvements

Double-Click to Cast — Complete Rewrite

  • Completely rewritten from the ground up using the SetOverrideBindingSpell approach (inspired by ZenFishing)
  • Removed the broken SecureActionButtonTemplate approach which detected double-clicks but never actually cast the spell
  • Removed Bindings.xml from the addon entirely — it caused XML parse errors on TBC Anniversary (Interface 20504) and was not needed for the double-click system
  • How it works now: Double-right-click in the 3D world to cast Fishing. Single right-click behaves normally (loot bobber, interact, camera). SetOverrideBindingSpell binds BUTTON2 directly to the Fishing spell on double-click detection — no SecureActionButton, no PreClick/PostClick, no attributes
  • Override binding cleared on every non-double-click (matching ZenFishing's ClearClickHandler pattern) so single clicks are never intercepted
  • Override binding cleared on entering combat
  • Loot window check (LootFrame:IsShown()) prevents double-click from firing while looting
  • Minimum 0.05s / maximum 0.4s double-click detection window
  • Default changed from disabled to enabled — works out of the box
  • Toggle on/off in General config tab

Combat Recovery Reworked

  • Re-equip fishing gear after combat — previously the addon swapped to normal/combat gear after combat ended, which made no sense while fishing. Now it re-equips your fishing gear so you can resume fishing immediately
  • Chat message updated: "Combat detected! Will re-equip fishing gear when combat ends."
  • Config checkbox renamed from "Auto-swap to normal gear on combat" to "Re-equip fishing gear after combat"

Community Pool Visibility Toggle

  • New config option: "Show community (unconfirmed) pool pins" in the Pools tab
  • When disabled, hides all community (chartreuse) pool pins from both minimap and world map
  • Routes built with /fk route will only include your personally discovered pools when community pools are hidden
  • Enabled by default — toggle off to see only your confirmed pool locations

Fixes

  • Removed Bindings.xml from TOC — this file caused XML parse errors on TBC Anniversary clients. Key bindings are handled via the WoW Key Bindings menu without needing a Bindings.xml file in the TOC load order
  • Fixed C_Container API crash — TBC Classic (Interface 20504) does not have the C_Container namespace. Added a compatibility shim in Core.lua that creates C_Container wrapper functions around the legacy API (GetContainerNumSlots, GetContainerItemLink, GetContainerItemInfo, PickupContainerItem) so all code can use the C_Container namespace safely
  • Fixed GetContainerItemInfo return value handling — TBC's legacy GetContainerItemInfo returns multiple values, while the C_Container version returns a table. The compatibility shim normalizes the return to always be a table with .iconFileID, .stackCount, .itemLink, .quality, and .isLocked fields
  • Fixed config panel overflow — config panel split into 6 tabbed sections to prevent checkboxes from overflowing the panel bounds. Tab labels shortened to fit
  • Fixed lure icon display — lure button icon now correctly shows the actual lure item texture instead of a generic icon

Files Modified

  • Core.lua (v1.0.11, C_Container compatibility shim, combat recovery rework, doubleClickCast default true, new showCommunityPools setting)
  • UI.lua (double-click casting complete rewrite using SetOverrideBindingSpell, removed SecureActionButton/PreClick/PostClick approach, lure icon fix)
  • Config.lua (combat checkbox label updated, community pools checkbox, doubleClickCast default true, 6-tab layout)
  • Pools.lua (community pool filtering in minimap and world map pin rendering)
  • Navigation.lua (community pool filtering in BuildRoute)
  • FishingKit.toc (Bindings.xml removed from load order)
  • CHANGELOG.md
  • fishing.md

v1.0.10

Code Quality & Compliance Audit

Full codebase audit for API compliance, memory safety, documentation accuracy, and engineering best practices.

Critical Fixes

  • Fixed STV Fishing Contest detection — IsContestActive() relied solely on C_DateAndTime which doesn't exist in all clients. Added Lua date() fallback so contest detection works regardless of API availability

AH Panel Fixes

  • Fixed AH price list overflowing panel bounds — Content frame now properly inset from AuctionFrame edges (TOPLEFT +12/-10, BOTTOMRIGHT -8/+37) matching Auctionator's wrapper pattern. Bottom clearance increased from 10px to 37px to clear the tab buttons
  • Removed broken SetClipsChildren calls — This API doesn't exist in Classic/TBC WoW. ScrollFrame natively clips its viewport
  • Added column headers — "Fish" and "Price Per Unit" header labels above the scroll area
  • Scroll child width set dynamically — Uses OnSizeChanged callback instead of hardcoded width, properly resolves after anchor layout
  • Fixed FontString memory leak — AH price list now uses FontString pooling instead of creating new FontStrings on every refresh. Old pattern leaked orphaned FontStrings that accumulated indefinitely

Nil Safety & Defensive Checks

  • Equipment.lua — GetItemIDFromLink result now checked for nil before comparison in EquipItemByLink
  • Core.lua — Nested C_Timer callbacks for combat gear swap now guard FK.Equipment existence
  • Alerts.lua — StartWatching frame cached in alertState._watchFrameCache and reused instead of creating new unnamed frames each start/stop cycle
  • Slash commands — /fk scale now gives explicit error messages for non-numeric input and out-of-range values instead of silently doing nothing

Documentation Fixes

  • Zone count corrected — fishing.md claimed 68 zones, actual database contains 95 zones
  • Pool counts corrected — Was 654, actual is 653 (both fishing.md and CHANGELOG.md)
  • Missing slash commands documented — Added /fk route recalc alias notation
  • Bindings.xml TOC note corrected — v1.0.6 changelog incorrectly stated Bindings.xml was "auto-loaded by WoW (not listed in TOC)"

Files Modified

  • FishingKit.toc (version bump)
  • Core.lua (v1.0.10, IsContestActive fallback, AH panel rewrite, FontString pooling, nil guards, slash command validation)
  • Equipment.lua (nil guard on GetItemIDFromLink)
  • Alerts.lua (frame reuse guard in StartWatching)
  • CHANGELOG.md
  • fishing.md (zone count, pool count, slash command, version bump)

v1.0.9

New Features

Pre-filled Pool Spawn Database (PoolData.lua)

  • Ships with 653 known pool spawn locations across 27 zones (24 Classic + 3 TBC)
  • All coordinates sourced from Wowhead — real spawn data, not estimates
  • Map pins appear immediately on first install — no discovery needed
  • Static data merges with user-discovered pools (user pools always take precedence)
  • Community pools shown in chartreuse (yellow-green) to distinguish from discovered pools (cyan)
  • Tooltip shows "Community Pool Data" with "Fish here to confirm this location" hint
  • Once you fish at a community pool, it converts to a confirmed discovered pool (cyan)

Community vs Discovered Pool Pins

  • Two-color pin system for instant visual distinction on maps
  • Chartreuse (yellow-green): Community pool data from the pre-filled database (unconfirmed)
  • Cyan (teal): Pools you've personally discovered or confirmed by fishing
  • Tooltips show source: "Community Pool Data" or "Seen: X time(s)" with last-seen timestamp
  • Applies to both minimap pins and world map pins

Navigation Arrow Pool Info (TBC)

  • Arrow frame enlarged to show full pool metadata
  • Displays pool name, coordinates, source tag, and waypoint counter
  • Source shown as "Community" (chartreuse) or "Discovered (Xx seen)" (green)
  • Community pools show "Unconfirmed location"; discovered pools show "Last seen: Xh ago"
  • Coordinates displayed in bottom-right corner of the arrow frame

Bag Space in Footer Bar

  • New center element in the footer shows "Bags: free/total" at all times
  • Color-coded: green (>10 free), orange (5-10), red (<5), flashing "Bags FULL!" at 0

Catch Percentage per Fish

  • Each fish in the "Fish Caught" stats tab now shows its percentage of total catches
  • New "%" column header alongside Fish and Count

Top 5 Catches Ranking

  • Gold-highlighted "Top 5 Catches" section at the top of the Fish Caught tab

  • Uncaught rare fish displayed in gray with "Not yet caught" text
  • Added Old Ironjaw, Old Crafty, and Speckled Tastyfish as rare catches

Cycle Fish Time Windows

  • Nightfin Snapper (18:00-06:00) and Sunscale Salmon (06:00-18:00) now tracked by server time
  • Zone info panel shows "Nightfin: NOW" (green) or "Nightfin: 18:00" (gray) when in relevant zones
  • Chat alert fires when a time window opens while you're in an applicable zone
  • Integrates with existing seasonal fish display (Winter Squid, Summer Bass)
  • Toggle alerts in Config > Alerts > "Cycle fish time window alerts"

Automatic SavedVariable Backups

  • Auto-backup every 24 hours on login (10-second delay for stability)
  • /fk backup — Force an immediate backup
  • /fk backup restore — Restore from last backup (confirmation dialog, requires /reload)
  • /fk backup info — Show last backup timestamp and age
  • Backs up both global (account-wide) and per-character saved variables

v1.0.8

New Features

Double-Click to Cast (Initial Implementation)

  • Double-right-click anywhere to cast Fishing
  • Initial implementation using SecureActionButtonTemplate with override binding
  • 0.05-0.4 second double-click detection window
  • Binding automatically cleared during combat
  • Toggle on/off in General config tab
  • Note: This implementation had issues — the SecureActionButton detected double-clicks but the spell cast did not reliably fire. Completely rewritten in v1.0.11 using SetOverrideBindingSpell

Persistent Footer Bar

  • New footer bar at the bottom of the panel, always visible even when collapsed
  • Left side: last fish caught (name and quantity, stays for 5 minutes)
  • Right side: "2x Click to Cast" indicator when double-click casting is enabled
  • Replaced previous title bar indicator and cast bar last-catch display

Improvements

Reliable Cast Bar

  • Cast bar now uses UnitChannelInfo/UnitCastingInfo as authoritative source of truth
  • Self-healing: if WoW API says the player is fishing but addon state is corrupted, state is automatically restored
  • Eliminates cast bar desync issues during rapid double-click recasting

Accurate Cast Counting

  • Casts counted when bobber hits the water (CHANNEL_START event) for reliable tracking
  • Fish got away events properly counted as valid casts with gotAway stat
  • User cancellations during cast animation (before bobber deployed) are not counted
  • Uses castGen counter to prevent stale events from corrupting state

Debug Print Cleanup

  • Converted all hardcoded debug prints to FK:Debug() (only visible with /fk debug)
  • Removed user-facing debug spam from event handlers and double-click system
  • User-facing prints (help text, goal listing, release list) unchanged

Fixes

  • Fixed cast bar not resetting properly during rapid double-click recasting
  • Fixed last fish caught display being immediately overwritten by idle text
  • Fixed stale LOOT_CLOSED events resetting state for new casts (lootCastGen tracking)
  • Fixed stale SPELLCAST_FAILED/INTERRUPTED events from old casts corrupting new cast state

Files Modified

  • Core.lua (v1.0.8, double-click setting, castGen counter, channelStarted flag, CHANNEL_START cast counting, debug print cleanup)
  • UI.lua (double-click casting system, footer bar, UnitChannelInfo self-heal in cast bar, debug print cleanup)
  • Statistics.lua (UndoCastCount method for interrupted casts)
  • Config.lua (double-click casting toggle in General tab)
  • FishingKit.toc (version bump to 1.0.8)
  • CHANGELOG.md
  • fishing.md

v1.0.7

New Features

  • TomTom-style navigation arrow points to the next pool in your route
  • Nearest-neighbor TSP algorithm builds optimized routes through discovered pools
  • Route starts from the nearest pool to the player
  • Numbered waypoints visible on the world map with colored connecting lines (SilverDragon-style MapCanvas pin approach)
  • Current waypoint segment highlighted in green, others in cyan
  • Arrow shows pool name, distance in yards, ETA, and waypoint counter
  • Arrow color changes based on direction accuracy (bright cyan = on target, dim = wrong direction)
  • Distance text color-coded: green (close), yellow (medium), white (far)
  • Automatic arrival detection advances to next waypoint
  • Right-click arrow to skip a waypoint
  • Arrow hides in combat, returns after
  • Arrow position is draggable and persists across sessions
  • New pool discoveries auto-inserted into active route via cheapest-insertion algorithm

  • Waypoint arrival sound toggle
  • Arrival distance slider (10-40 yards)
  • Start/Stop Route, Skip Waypoint, Recalculate, and Import GatherMate2 buttons

Fixes

  • Fixed world map route lines not rendering: WorldMapFrame is load-on-demand and wasn't available at init time. Added lazy hooking via UpdateWorldMapRoute, DrawRouteOnWorldMap, and ADDON_LOADED listener for Blizzard_WorldMap
  • Fixed pool deduplication being too aggressive (0.02 / ~20 yards → 0.005 / ~5 yards): nearby but distinct pool spawn points were being merged and positions overwritten. Now only deduplicates when pool name matches AND distance is within ~5 yards, and no longer overwrites existing pool positions
  • Fixed BuildRoute silently failing when C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition returns nil: now falls back to starting from the first pool instead of aborting

Files Added

  • Navigation.lua (route building, arrow, world map lines, GatherMate2 import)
  • arrow.tga (TomTom-style arrow spritesheet, 1024x1024, 108 frames)

  • Requires minimum 5 catches in a zone before the band appears
  • Bite timing data persists across sessions and improves with more catches
  • Band hidden when not actively fishing

Fixes

  • Bindings.xml removed from TOC file (WoW auto-loads it; listing it caused XML parse error)

Files Added

  • Bindings.xml (key binding definitions, auto-loaded by WoW)

Files Modified

  • Core.lua (v1.0.6, AH price scanning with AUCTION_HOUSE events, STV contest functions, keybind labels, biteTimings in chardb, ahPrices in global DB, FormatCopper utility)

v1.0.5

New Features

Catch Rate Display

  • Zone panel now shows your catch rate percentage with color coding
  • Red (<25%), orange (<50%), yellow (<75%), green (75%+), bright green (100%)
  • Calculated from your effective skill vs zone no-getaway threshold

Fish-to-Level Counter

  • Skill bar now shows estimated catches needed for next fishing skill level
  • Uses pre-3.1 TBC formula: 1 catch at skill ≤75, then ceil((skill - 75) / 25) at higher levels
  • Shows "Max" when at skill cap (375)

Fishing Skill Above Fish Button

  • Current fishing skill level displayed above the Fish button
  • Visible even when the panel is collapsed for quick reference
  • Light blue text matching the effective skill color scheme

Enhanced Fishing Sound

  • Automatically boosts SFX volume to maximum when fishing for easier splash detection
  • Lowers ambience volume slightly to make splash more prominent
  • Restores original volume settings when fishing is truly complete (after loot window closes)
  • Sound restore correctly timed: happens on LOOT_CLOSED or 1-second timeout, not on channel stop
  • All SetCVar calls wrapped in pcall with string values for TBC compatibility
  • Toggle in Alerts config tab

Missing Lure Warning

  • Periodic chat warning when fishing without an active lure
  • Warns once per 60 seconds (configurable) while fishing with a pole but no lure
  • Only triggers when a fishing pole is equipped
  • Toggle in Alerts config tab

Fishing Goals

  • Set catch targets per session: /fk goal Stonescale Eel 50
  • Goal progress shows on the idle status line when not casting
  • Color-coded progress: gold while in progress, yellow when ≥75%, green when complete
  • Multiple goals supported; first incomplete goal shown on cast bar
  • Fish matched by name against catch history and Database.lua
  • /fk goal to list active goals, /fk goal clear to reset all

Auto-Combat Gear Swap

  • Detects entering combat while a fishing pole is equipped
  • Chat warning: "Combat detected! Will swap to normal gear when combat ends."
  • Automatically swaps to saved normal gear when combat ends
  • 1-second delay after PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED for lockdown to fully clear
  • Retry logic if InCombatLockdown() still true after first attempt
  • Helpful message if no normal gear saved: "Use /fk savegear normal"
  • Toggle in Equipment config tab

Milestone Celebrations

  • Sound and chat celebration at 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000 total catches
  • Green flash on the panel when a milestone is reached
  • Uses rare item sound effect for celebration
  • Toggle in Alerts config tab

Catch & Release

  • Mark junk fish for automatic deletion on catch: /fk release Driftwood
  • Only works on gray (quality 0) and white (quality 1) items for safety
  • Higher quality items rejected with error message
  • Fish looked up by name in catch history and Database.lua
  • Auto-delete runs 0.3 seconds after loot window closes
  • /fk release to list items, /fk release clear to reset list

Fixes

  • Fixed enhanced sound restore timing: sound was being restored on UNIT_SPELLCAST_CHANNEL_STOP which fires BEFORE the loot window opens, causing sound to revert too early. Created separate OnFishingComplete() method called from LOOT_CLOSED and timeout instead.
  • Fixed SetCVar calls passing wrong types: TBC Classic requires string values for SetCVar. Wrapped all calls in pcall and added nil check on GetCVar return values.
  • Fixed combat gear swap delay: increased from 0.5s to 1.0s and added retry logic for cases where InCombatLockdown() still returns true briefly after PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED.
