You must follow these instructions EXACTLY. Any variation and it won't work.
Print this out if you can't remember this EXACTLY.

1. Set the output text file location to a valid location
*edit* You do not need to create this, it is done automatically.
2. Set the wav file locations to valid locations or remove them
*edit* Sound files available here : www.geocities.com/ffxiplayer01
3. Set logorpause to 0 for autologout or 1 for autopause
4. Run FFXI config. Make sure enable hardware mouse cursor is off.
5. Run the script
6. Start FFXI
7. Make sure that you are using compact keyboard.
8. *edit* Set your window backround to #4.
9. Turn on shout, say, and emote filters (they should say ON)
10. Set your fishing macro like this EXACTLY like this, case sensitive
*edit* This must be set on ALT 1
/equip ammo "bait here"
/echo Fish
/fish
11. Equip an unbreakable rod type eg. Mithran for small fish, Composite for large fish.
12. Target the fish you are going for with the proper bait.
13. Equip your bait
14. Type /fish to begin fishing.
15. The script should automate at this point.
16. If you wanna run to AH and have autopause set, just go whenever you want. The script will pause itself automatically.
17. When you want to resume fishing, type /fish and it will unpause and automate again.
18. After seeing how it performs, adjust the sleep timers till you get them where you want them.
19. Do a dance cause you configured properly. (no joke! i wanna see some dances goin on lake side!) oh wait your emotes are turned off, nm.
20. Cash in, and don't undercut prices on the AH or my taru bite your face off. If you wanna raise prices cause you are the one selling, more power too ya.
----------------------------------------
This script is designed for unbreakable type rods (i know they aren't truly unbreakable but i've NEVER seen it happen) If you are not using an unbreakable type, then you have 2 options. 1. Add it to the script. 2. Use a different script.

Ok guys, enough support to take these down was shown in that other thread. I will leave the instructions on how to use up for those of you that got the script before i took it down. If you have questions, feel free to ask me. Please do not repost the script i wrote anywhere, or give it out. Otherwise, a lot of people will be botting and will be picking our pockets etc and slamming the economy with fish. I'm guessing that only those that really have an idea of what they are doing will be able to get that to run for them anyways with the probs on color recognition that seems to be happening. Let me know on the irc thing also.

Could you zip up the sound files and post them somewhere available for download?

LifestoneExpress,

What resolution is this script set for, and can you explain step one and two a little more.

You have to be kidding:

Step 1: pick a directory on your computer where you want the output log file to be. Then on line 14:
$text = FileOpen ( "E:\FFXI\Script\Fish Caught.txt", 2 );
change the E:\FFXI\Script\ to refelect that path. (i.e. C:\Program Files\AutoIT3\log\).
It is then important to create the file as I believe the command FileOpen would fail if there is not a file to open.
To do this I would:
1. go to the log directory
2. Right Click, then click on "New Text Document"
3. Name it Fish Caught.txt (or whatever you want just refelect the name on line 14 of the script)

Step 2:
1.To remove them: Place a ; in front of any line that begins with the word 'SoundPlay'.
2. Change all instances of:
SoundPlay ( "E:\FFXI\Script\
to a location on your computer where you have ALL the sound files (.wav) listed in the script.

Hope this helps and please remember :iamstupid:

ir0nfist this looks like a very nice script, good work. I will try it when I have a chance. I think your instructions are very easy to follow and I can easily understand them.

[ir0nfist]

Thanks for the support brotha. I was feeling kinda railroaded here

[Verbatim]

ir0nfist this looks like a very nice script, good work.  I will try it when I have a chance.  I think your instructions are very easy to follow and I can easily understand them.

I concur, excellent instructions.. even including the chat box color. I'll give it a try tonight and let you know how it works for me.

[ravenfyre]

Ok I'm trying to currently track down some problem which is causing some strange things to happen in the game. I'm still on it but, I followed the instructions but I just want to be clear about one thing, the black marble background is #8 in config/windows? Looks like black marble but I just want to be 100% sure before I mess with the script .

If anyone is curious as to what is currently happening,

1. First line cast is fine
2. Tries to autosort even if no fish was caught
3. Goes to autosort but never chooses yes to autosort when given the YES/NO option, quits menus
4. Tries to cast but it's too early before next allowable cast
5. Keeps on opening the say chat box (even if it's manually closed)
6. Never saves text in fish caught.txt

It's quite messed up right now lol. Think it may be more than one thing causing the problem . Obviously it's a user problem as it works for others. Hmm, could it be an autoit version problem I wonder.

Anywho, back to work .

A couple questions if you don't mind Iron

1.) Can I completely remove the sounds if I don't want/need them?

2.) Would it mess up the script to have my fishing macro look like this?

/equip range "ROD"
/equip ammo "BAIT"
/echo fish
/fish


Does it matter if I add the Rod to the macro? Just to be on the safe side. Obtaining a Mithran Rod is difficult and expensive.

[Sleepyfox]

7. Make sure that you are using compact keyboard.

What do you mean compact keyboard? is this a setting or something? i'm using a good old fasion keyboard not the kind thats cut in half would this be a problem?

[ravenfyre]

Sleepyfox, he means the setting in the config. Go to your menu, config and it's somewhere there . Think it's under gameplay or misc1 or 2.

[Ealric]

Hey Ironfist I like a couple of things you did here. We have to get together sometime and work on some things.

Nice job.

[ir0nfist]

Raven, I have zero clue as to why it would open up the chat box. That just boggles me cause there isn't even a send space or enter in there unless it is logging out. The window type I am using is #4. The other bleeds through it looks like. If you are using 8 this could be the problem though i don't know how. Sorry i will clarify that in instructions. Other than that do you have compact keyboard on? Sorry I dunno what the prob is for ya.
I have it set to autosort the first time around this is supposed to happen to make sure you haven't forgotten to sort it. If it keeps doin that however, then it's not supposed to do that.
Brecken, yes you can put that in there but like i stated in instructions, this is not set up for broken rods or lines. If your rod breaks it won't make a difference that you have that on the macro as the script will be stuck in a perpetual loop. This is only designed for unbreakable rods. You would have to add that function if you want it on there.
Also your macro is wrong. It is case sensitive. It must read /echo Fish , not /echo fish.
Sleepyfox, err yes it's a setting keep the chainsaws away from the keyboard...

[Ealric]

Hey Iron,

Ya care if I play with your script for a bit and modify it for 1280 x 1024?

[ir0nfist]

Ealric, go for it.

[Verbatim]

I had the same issue Ravenfyre did. I rechecked all my settings and I believe I have everything correct.. i.e. compact, resolution. I had the same question about the screen chat color, and I was wrong also, used 5 and 8.

Maybe this is both of our problems, when I get home later I will try with 4 and see if this resolves it.

Here is what happened in specific. Started the script and entered FFXI.. set my macro.. got in position.

1. Typed /fish
2. Got a nothing caught message
3. It pulled up the chat menu

After that nothing would happen anymore. The only thing I can think of is maybe due to having a different color it read as we caught a fish and tried clicking?

[Breckenridge]

Sorry Iron, I meant /echo Fish, not /echo fish

I have a composite, so the rod thing doesn't matter anymore...

but it is safe to just delete the soundfile parts right? I don't really want them unless it's nessecary. Thanks again.

[ir0nfist]

Errrr wooops heh. I forgot one of the most important things... Is your fishing macro set on Alt 1? It has to be on Alt 1, unless you alter it to call up a different key. Wicked sorry there. Like i said before, I suck at giving instructions. Updating heh.

Brecken yes it is safe to delete any reference to the wav files, just take out the whole soundplay line. I did make all the wav files available for download. I really think people should use the wavs. It makes things safer i think as you can putt around your house and do whatever, just turn up the sound and hear that it is still working, and also hear the warning sound if you are turned or moved. And plus hearing the Cha Ching sound every time you catch a fish just makes ya smile.

[Verbatim]

Send ("!1");ALT 1 change to your macros

You had this text in the script, so I had made my macro Alt-1. The only thing I changed in the body of the script was I REM'd out all the soundplay lines with a ;.

[Ealric]

Iron,

My script is working really well right now with the timing so I'm a little nervous interrupting that with a brand new script. You have some very interesting and complicated script functions on a few things.

As I don't have the pixel count done on rusty items, it would be no good for me to incorporate a drop rusty item event in to it at this time.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out how your pause works. I see the event check but I don't see many checks against it. I'm interested in finding out how you did that as that would be a good feature to add to the script I have already.

Any info would be appreciated..

Thanks.

[ir0nfist]

Yes that sounds like the prob Verbatim sorry when chat was mentioned was thinking the chat line where you type in text. So yes, if it's bringing up the chat menu, it is reading the colors incorrectly, probably due to the backround, not sure on this. It is then going into the rusty check function and the colors aren't matching up. It then jumps back to play the cashregister.wav, but it should keep running, but it doesn't do anything after that? I really suggest you dl the sound files and use them as this would also help pinpoint where the problem is by sound. Your choice ofcourse. Also check if it is writing the file, see if it says you caught a fish. See if it is looping over and over on that for some reason spamming the log file. If there is no text then it is not reading the text in FFXI at all for that line for some reason, never finds a matching statement and loops over and over looking for the statement that it never finds, hence does nothing. This would be caused by your colors being different as you stated, or perhaps the backround being used screwing it up. Are you using default colors for the lines it is supposed to read? If you continue to have the problem after switching backrounds and making sure those texts that are read by the script are default colors then i can only suggest that you input the color values yourself. Maybe my vid card is seeing diff color variations than yours. Anyways, pinpoint the problem by trying what i said, try changing the things i stated, and let me know if it fixes it or not. Thanks.
