[Leviathan] - A Free Fishing Bot

[nethulhu]

The fishbots keep coming. I've decided to release the fishing bot I've been working on for a couple days now. I know there are others out there, but it never hurts to have variety, so I present to you Leviathan.

What Does It Do?

• Fishes with the game in the background so you can do other things.
• Alarms if it is unable to catch a fish within 45 seconds. This will alert you to things like running out of bait, spooked fish, or anything else that prevented fishing.
• Track the time you have spent fishing in one location.

What Do I Have Planned for the Future?

• Move when you can no longer fish in an area.
• Mooch.
• Automatically stop after a set amount of time or casts.

What Are The Requirements?

• English Version of FFXIV: ARR.
• Default Layout of Fishing Commands on the Action Bar.
• Bait or Lures.

How Do I Use It?

• Change your character to their fishing class.
• Walk up to some water and make sure the Cast button is lit up.
• Launch Leviathan.
• Click Attach.
• Verify that Leviathan was able to Attach by checking it has a location for your player.
• Click Start Fishing.
• It is recommended you watch through one casting cycle to make sure Leviathan is able to fish properly.

How Do Waypoints Work?

• Attach to the game client by clicking the Attach button.
• Open the Waypoints window by clicking the Waypoints button.
• Place your character where where you want to fish, paying attention that you are facing the right direction.
• Click Add in the Waypoints window.
• Go to your next location and click Add again.
• Repeat as needed.
• Click Start Fishing.
• The bot will move after the number of minutes set in the Movement pane.
• You can also click Next to force it to go to the next Waypoint.
• Only two waypoints are needed.
• Please keep in mind the bot will run in a straight line between Waypoints.

What Do the Settings in the Config File Do?

• Always Make a Backup of the Config File Before Editing It - You can cause Leviathan to not run or to have strange behaviors.
• fishingKeypressDelay - How long the keys are held down in milliseconds while fishing.
• fishingAlarmTimeout - How many seconds without catching a fish before the alarm sounds (1-59).
• fishingPostHookWait - How many seconds after catching a fish before the bot tries to Cast (1-59).
• fishingCastKey - Key to press to Cast.
• fishingHookKey - Key to press to Hook.
• fishingMoochKey - Key to press to Mooch.
• movementPostMoveWait - How long to wait after moving before Casting in milliseconds.
• movementTurnLeftKey - Key to press to turn left.
• movementTurnRightKey - Key to press to turn right.
• movementMoveForwardKey - Key to press to move forward.
• movementCycleTime - How long to hold keys down while moving in milliseconds.
• movementTurnHeadingThreshold - Threshold in radians of how close to heading to get when turning.
• movementRunHeadingThreshold - Threshold in randians of how close to heading to get when running.
• movementStopThreshold - How close to get to waypoint before stopping.

Where Do I Get It?

• Download it from: Leviathan Download
• VirusTotal Scan: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/e...c62c/analysis/

FAQ

• Q: How do I change the alarm sound?
  A: Simply change the alarm.wav file in the Leviathan directory.
• Q: Are you releasing the source code?
  A: No. I'm actively supporting this bot while I continue to use it so I prefer not to release the source. If I stop supporting it I will consider releasing it then.
• Q: I'm getting an error when reading the settings file?
  A: If you are using an European version of Windows, you may need to change the periods to commas.
• Q: The bot an't send key presses to FF14. What do I do?
  A: If you are running TeamViewer you need to quit it before starting FF14 and the bot.

This post will be updated to reflect any new info, versions, or answers.

Thanks for trying it out and remember to always scan downloaded files with a virus scanner.

can you make it so when you get "fish sense something strange" it will log out and back in? that resets the timer and you can keep fishing in the same spot.

That could be doable, though I'd prefer to implement a way point system where the bot just moves to a new location like a human would after 45 minutes or so and never trips the "fish spooked" timer.

[clbraver]

its just a fix till you can add movement to way point really

Best fishing bot so far, keep it up! I could see people donating for this if you get it to move etc when required.

Could you tell me what the default layout was? I've already changed my keys around a few times. Can't wait for mooch and auto move that'll be amazing!

1 Bait
2 Cast
3 Hook
4 Quit
5 Stealth
6 Mooch

= Sprint

The only keys that matter right now are that Cast is 2, and Hook is 3. Eventually when Mooch is implemented it will need to be 6.

thanks, this works great . +5 rep

This one doesn't work for me. It looks like it thinks I have hooked a fish the second I cast. From the log I get:

There is another person who has reported this error and to be honest I'm not sure how to fix it. Can you tell me what version of the NA client you are running? It should have a number like 690690 in the upper left corner on the first menu you get when the game starts up. The only thing I can come up with is that you have a different set of offsets.

In other news, a new version has been released with movement to prevent fishies from getting spooked. Please read the new section on Waypoints in the first post to get a quick idea of how Waypoints work.

As always, please let me know if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or problems.

Enjoy!

It says version: n/a there even after attaching. I have uploaded a screenshot for you if that will help.

Not on the bot, on the actual game client. The bot doesn't read that value correctly yet. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

Hey guys, I've come into a bit of a noobie problem. As "Cast" should be lit up when pressing leviathan's attach button to register the players position, how do I do that?
My problem in this case is simple, when I go to press attach on leviathan it leaves the screen in FF14 and makes it so cast isn't highlighted when I press attach.
Is there a hotkey or something I don't know about?

As long as you don't move after getting into position to fish you should be fine to Attach or even Start Fishing. If I'm understanding you, it's the window losing focus that's causing the cast button to dim, correct? To be honest you can Attach any time after you enter the world, it's only the Start Fishing that requires Cast to be available. Does this make sense, or did I misunderstand you?
