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
/fishbringerand/fbslash commands. (If Fishing Buddy is installed and loaded,/fbwill 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
The skill needed to fish shows 0 skill in Hellfire Peninsula.

Fixed
Just updating that all the known issues were fixed in the current version on github.
It is just waiting for localization files update, so we don't break other(non English) language versions.
I send private message with a french translation to Kalerath but it's considerate like a spam with source code. Really nice project !
In reply to Simon_sketv:
Thanks! if you have an github account, you can just upload your translation file to a fork from our repo: https://github.com/Godot-Fye/Fishbringer
The fish caught at this level feature does not count up with each catch.
In reply to daperdude00:
This is incompatibility with speedy auto loot addons. they work on a previous event before loot window is opened.
I fixed it by changing the event that triggers the check from LOOT_OPENED to LOOT_READY
Hope the author will see it and fix it in an official version.
In reply to Zilom:
Thanks for your feedback :-) So the problem is speedy auto loot addon, not Fishbringer?
In reply to TLDFye:
It's not a bug the the other addon. The way speed looting works is to bypass the loot interface, by looting before loot window opens.
They do it by LOOT_READY event which triggers before the LOOT_OPENED event you use. So by the time LOOT_OPENED supposed to be triggered there is no more loot.
It's easily solved by changing the trigger in fishbringer to LOOT_READY. Which makes it compatible with looting addons:
Line 16: fb:RegisterEvent"LOOT_READY"
Line 460: fb.LOOT_READY = IncrementFishCount
This will solve the compatibility issue, and will work whether you have loot addon or not.
Unrelated I noticed few other bugs:
1. Removing and reequipping the fishing rod will reset the fish count.
2. Hellfire Peninsula is missing from zone list.(needed for fishing daily and fishing some trash fish)
In reply to Zilom:
Thanks for Feedback! I will try to work on a fix the next days :-)
At the moment: No. Maybe i will update it a few Weeks after TBC Release :-)
is there a TBC version in the works?

In reply to TonedawgStreams:
First Version for TBC online :)
In reply to TLDFye:
yaaay thank you!! love your addon!
In reply to TonedawgStreams:
You are welcome :-) Please let me know if you find bugs or something, i've tested this new version only on the beta realm.
Suggestion: Would be nice if the addon checked if Right bars are enabled in blizzard interface and aligned the text accordingly.
Currently some of the text goes behind the toolbar and thus unreadable.
amazing finally i know how fishing works
Thank you TLDFye. Only your Version works fine with german game client. I don't know why but this version here 1.13.3 dont show my skill and the required skill. So on... Thank you very much!
In reply to Forge_User_48090496:
Np :) It's just because the Original Fishbringer Addon has no Localization. So the german client can't find the perk "Fishing" and other stuff like the mapzones. I fixed this and some other bugs with my release.
