FishingKit - TBC Anniversary Edition - Changelog

v1.0.7

New Features

Pool Route Navigation

• 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
• Route auto-rebuilds when changing zones
• Falls back gracefully if player position is unavailable

Route Button

• New Route button on the main panel between Stats and Config
• One-click to start/stop pool route navigation
• Green background indicator when route is active
• Tooltip shows route status, pool count, and usage instructions

GatherMate2 Import

• Import fishing pool data from GatherMate2: /fk import gathermate
• Deduplicates against existing pool data
• Maps GatherMate2 node IDs to pool names for both Classic and TBC pools
• Reports import count by zone

Navigation Config

• New "Pool Route Navigation" section in the Pools config tab
• Enable/disable pool navigation toggle
• Show/hide navigation arrow toggle
• Show/hide route on world map toggle
• 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)

Files Modified

• FishingKit.xml (added FishingKitRoutePinTemplate, FishingKitRouteConnectionTemplate for world map route lines)
• Core.lua (v1.0.7, new settings: poolNavEnabled, poolNavArrow, poolNavWorldMapRoute, poolNavArrivalDistance, poolNavSound; Navigation init/combat/zone hooks; route/import slash commands)
• UI.lua (Route button between Stats and Config, UpdateRouteButton, green active indicator)
• Config.lua (Pool Route Navigation section with checkboxes, slider, and action buttons in Pools tab)
• Pools.lua (pool dedup range fix 0.02→0.005, name-matching required for dedup, no position overwrite)
• FishingKit.toc (version bump to 1.0.7)
• CHANGELOG.md
• fishing.md

• 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

Milestone Celebrations

• 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.
