I have tried this bot in Durotar and even trued to add colors for Hyjal. It Jumps, cast but doesnt move the cursor to the bauber nor does it click to loot the fish. Has anyone had any success with this? If so what are your settings for Hyjal or Northrend?

This bot worked for me, even on a private server. And as for the whispering thing, it gives you a couple options I believe.

I've just used this bot to level my fishing from 150 to 225. I found out some things that I thought would be useful, so I'm posting here.

The basic principle this bot works on is colour recognition. It scans the screen from top to bottom to find pixels with particular colours and reacts when it finds them. It will only react to the first one it finds. If you're having trouble getting the bot to work properly, there are some tricks you can use to get it working, all designed to make the colours the bot is looking for be the only ones on the screen.

The colour you select in the dropdown is the colour the bot uses to find the fishing bobber. As the Readme.txt says, this colour varies by zone and by time of day. The best way to set this is to take a screen shot with your fishing bobber in it and then open it up in an image editor. I used The Gimp for this. Most image editors have a "Colour Grabber" tool. It's usually a pipette (a so-called eye-dropper) icon. Zoom in your screenshot on the fishing bobber and use this tool to get a colour from one of its pixels, then find it's hex RGB value. Edit the file Colors.ini and create a new entry with this RGB value. Details of how to do this are in the Readme.txt.

There are actually 2 colours that the fishing bot reacts to, but you can't edit the second one. It's the colour of the splash that is made when a fish is ready for catching. I found that under certain lighting conditions, the bluey-white metal loop on the top of the fishing bobber was recognised as the splash. If you are getting a lot of "No fish are hooked" messages, then it's most likely because the bot is finding this splash colour elsewhere on the screen and it's triggering the right click too early. As the fishbot jumps before every cast, jumping every 5 or 10 seconds can also be seen as a symptom of false triggering of the right click that is only supposed to happen when a fish is hooked. I didn't bother to try and find and/or alter this colour trigger, I just found a spot where that colour didn't appear anywhere else on the screen so the fishbot reacted properly.

All scenes in WoW have a light source and the rendering takes account of reflections and glare so changing which way you are facing will change the colours that are used to render the glare and may remove it completely. Experiment until you find a position that works well enough. You may need to re-sample your bobber colour as you move around.

That's about it, these tricks should help you get the bot working. The bot itself is a bit flaky, however, once you get it to work it will just keep on working for hours so it is worth a bit of perseverance.

Happy botting!
