Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure

Fishing skill, fishing tweaks, and ... Danger?

You've fished...and fished...and fished. And you have little to show for all your effort.

Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure adds a Fishing skill that improves your ability to hook fish as your skill increases.

It also adds some tweaks to fishing without radically altering the basics:

• Fish within range will begin to splash the surface when you cast your line to give you an idea if you've found a good location
• Fish are excited by your bait and will converge on your float faster & from farther away
• Fish won't spend as much time milling around or bottom feeding while you're fishing; they'll go after your bait more often

And a word of caution when deep-sea fishing ... the ocean can be a dangerous place. Be careful what you fish for!

Configuration

General

• DetectionRadius: The maximum distance from the fishing float to search for fish. Default is 25. Can be set from 10 to 50

Utility

• LogLevel: Controls the level of information in the log
• FishingSkillID: The numeric identifier for the Fishing skill. Only change this if you have a conflict with another custom skill using ID 879. Can be set from 200 to 900. Note that changing this value will reset your Fishing skill

In-game reconfiguration

You can use Configuration Manager (or similar) mod to change the configuration without exiting the game, and force Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure to update its configuration from the chat window (press Enter) then type:

/reelyspectacklelure config 

You can also modify the detection radius directly from the chat window using this syntax:

/reelyspectacklelure detectionradius=40

Compatibility issues & defects

• If you find a compatibility issue you can post it on NexusMods. Be sure to include the mod name and version you think may be incompatible.
• If you have a bug please report it on NexusMods. If you do post a bug report, please make sure to include the following:
  • Your version of Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure
  • What you were doing, or attempting to do when it happened
  • If it's repeatable - i.e., can you duplicate it?
  • The exact behavior you observed (or didn't observe)
  • If possible, a capture of the log file with errors (errors always begin with "ReelySpecTackleLure ...")

Notes

• Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure won't spawn additional fish or radically change fishing mechanics. You still have to catch fish, although it gets easier as your skill increases.

• Fish occasionally jumping out of the water is in development - haven't quite gotten the splashdown right yet.

• Sorry about using the "Club" icon for the fishing skill. Will add a custom sprite eventually.
