IWANA - A fishbot from the creator of FishBuddy

[drew77]

I have a problem with the fishbot clicking and the window coming up but it recasts too soon to loot. Only happens sometimes, go figure on the rare fish I'm trying to catch (that is not bind on pick-up). My FishBuddy records all kinds of stuff that is not in my bags, so obviously it's not always picking it up.

No, I'm not using Auto Loot..

Sounds like you're having the same problem as DarkAvernus...(see above posts). I'll say the same thing to you as him...

You can try using an external macro program and insert a delay before it casts (allowing more time to loot).

Otherwise try to find a way to reduce your latency...(i.e. disable addons, turn off other programs in process list, etc.)

i'm prob gonna get flamed for this. But is this safe to use at 3.0.3?

Thanks for the program and all the tips posted here. I have read thru almos the entire thread and tried it out for the first time today.

As soon as I start Iwana and try to create a new profile, I get dc'd from wow. This seems to be right at the same time that Iwana is trying to take a screenshot. Is there anyway to prevent this? My wow is in windowed mode and I renamed Iwana.

Any help is appreciated.

I can only suggest that you make sure your key bindings are set to default. Also in the .cfg did you set rename window to 1?

you mean the .ini

Thanks for the fast reply. *sheepish grin* No I didn't change the .ini to 1. I did after getting dc'd the first time and then was too chicken to try again. I feel a wee bit foolish....

[drew77]

you mean the .ini

Yeah...that one.
Recently got a new computer and hadn't put Iwana on yet...so I didn't have folder to check. :doh:

1. Download the program

2. Unzip the program to your desktop (or wherever)

3. Rename the folder and the iwana.exe inside the folder to something else

4. In the .ini set rename window to 1

5. Run WoW in windowed mode

6. In WoW's video settings set all of the video sliders to low except spell detail (set it to high)

7. Make sure your fishing skill is on the 1 slot of your action bar

8. Set auto-loot to off and make sure "shift" is selected for auto-loot

9. Start Iwana

10. Click on the drop-down menu and type in a new name for the location/time of day you're fishing (i.e. durotar day...or whatever)

11. Click Start

12. After it casts and takes a screenshot click on whichever feather stands out against the background the most (blue or red)

13. Click Start

14. When going to a new location follow steps 9 - 13

15. If you get a bad cast or can't see the bobber exit iwana, open the .ini and delete the location line including hex code then follow steps 9 - 13 again.

16. If you can't follow these steps try using a different fish bot or just give up.

edit - use notepad to open .ini

Out of curiosity how much different is this from pirox's fisher?

Almost no difference at all...both are coded in AutoIt and both are pixel checkers not memory readers/injectors.

Pirox's Fishbot has a couple more options to it like auto-lure etc. but seems to take a bit more to set it up.

true, theyre not that different. But i personally prefer iwana as it usualy just works right out of the box (not only because i made it), and pirox's bot is much more hassle in my opinion

Not saying his bot is bad, try em both and use whichever you feel best suits your needs

pretty much what i said...i've tried both and also prefer using Iwana
not to mention that the additional options (i.e. lure) can easily be handled with macros

the only truly helpful thing Iwana is missing IMO would be a latency setting to allow those players with high latency to more effectively use this bot
