More reliable(?) way of detecting bite (for fishing bots)

[Miguel9614]

This is a method I found for detecting bites while fishing. While writing my own fishing bot (it's not very great so I won't bother posting it), I was having some trouble detecting bites. I was using color recognition to see the splash, but it was not consistent. Then I found this method and it works almost 100% of the time for me. My bot now makes me plenty of gold and fishes quite well.

The idea behind this is instead of visually recognizing the bite, we are going to use sound. The lure always makes a splash noise when there is a bite.

First we are going to need a way to detect the sound. I use Omega Unfold . It is 25$ to buy, and free for a trial period. See my post about Date Cracker 2000 in order to extend the free trial as long as you need.

Basically you need to set the threshold on the audio program so that it is perfect for the fishing sound. Then we set the trigger to press a hotkey. This hotkey can be anything you want. Now in your fishing bot, you need to register the hotkey and make the program reel in when it is pressed. Now, when the audio program detects the splash sound, it will press the hotkey, which your fishing bot will pick up and then reel in the fish.

If anyone needs any more help with making fishing bots of their own I'd be glad to help. Hope this gets put to good use.

yeah and then when people r fishing next to you or if the program doesn't recognize it or if it recognizes other sounds like it your screwed.

Well, when you bot, 99.99% you do it away from civilization so you dont get caught so that post is a bit dumb...

I use glider to fish so its not much of a problem for me but it might be useful if people dont have glider. +rep

Well:
1. You probably shouldn't be botting near other people
2. You can configure the program to only detect sounds above a certain threshold, not everything will set it off.
3. I never said you had to use it, I was only suggesting something that worked well for me.

I usually used it in instances. It's great for fishing for deviates in WC. There are of course much better fishing bots our there such as Glider or InnerSpace bots, but I find it nice to have my own for when patches role around and everything else is broken =P

I don't understand why people have to be like this... I think he did a fine job of posting something. He was working on something of his own, came across something, shared it asking for nothing, and you have to come in on your high horse and be a dick about it.

Just tell people the pros and cons of what their idea is. In short, always try to be constructive, not DEstructive.

The best way to detect a splash with autoit is to search for the splash color, and then click it, without searching for the bobber wich is more hardly found because it changes with shadows and stuff ^.^

Thank you Bumbobean =]

Xarg0: I tried that at first, but was having some problems with it. Maybe I'm just dumb =P. I guess any way that works for you is good.
