Fishing Macro

[Vocal_Bass]

Hey, I just thought I'd post up the fishing macro that I wrote/use. It is a 1 button does all. Cast/Hook>tries to mooch>if mooch fails>cast

/macroicon hook
/ac hook
/ac cast<wait.11>
/ac mooch<wait.1>
/ac cast<wait.2>
/ac cast

The extra cast in there is because big fish animation is so long it needs extra time, but I didn't want to give up the first recast time.

*side note: first forum post, so suggestions accepted

i think you have a mistake there, if i follow that macro it goes like this:
fish bites > you hit the macro and hook it > right after the hook animation starts the macro runs cast which throws and error > then it waits 11 secs > then it mooches and wait 1 sec > cast wait 2 sec > cast

just remove the "/ac cast<wait.11>" and replace "/ac hook" with "/ac hook<wait.11>"

It shouldn't proceed with the wait 11 if the cast comes back as an error, they changed macro behavior a while back. What I use is one button, hit it for mooch/cast then again for hook:

/micon Cast
/ac Hook <me>
/ac Mooch <me>
/ac Cast <me>

well, the whole idea of fishing macro is to hit one button once, once in a while
and preferably send keystrokes into inactive window (gamepad)

im using something like this:
(the fastest fishes i saw are 9 sec, the longest ones are 15 sec)

/micon hook
/ac hook <wait.9>
/ac mooch
/ac cast <wait.2>
/ac mooch
/ac cast <wait.2>
/ac mooch
/ac cast <wait.2>
/ac mooch
/ac cast

ok looked up what I was thinking of, patch 2.28, I remembered it differently:

The <wait.x> command will no longer be executed when used on a line that incurs a text command error.
When used with an action that incurs an error such as "Invalid target" or "Target is not in range," however, the command will still be executed.

That macro should work
