Hi all, I too have been crashing now as well when i use vga and vg fish. Something new too, is with Vg Fish, i now tend path around my boat instead of standing still. It's almost like I cast my self instead of the fishing pole and bait. Have leveled to 300 no problems this just started with the last patch? Anyone else having this problem? Kindly Advise.

Spoke to two other people who use VG fish and all are having same problem.

It looks as if they have put in some minor script detection for the fishing. Nothing major, and it appears to be easily circumvented. Started a new char today and caught about 20 fish with no skill ups. Did a few manual and got skill ups on each. Made some changes to vgfish, and it began getting skill ups, semi-consistently.

I am curious, being the Author of VGFish, on how to recreate the problem and fix it ASAP so that everyone would be able to use it without trying to figure it out on their own how to fix it.

Pointers, tips, example coding... would be awsome. ;)

Zandros,

In looking through your code, the events being fired in your code are happening in a fairly static fashion.

For example, if using fish movement, it will always use either 1.5, or the overridden value. Between steps in a combo, it is always a wait 3.

What I did for a fix was simply mix things up a bit. Instead of a wait 3 on the combo, I use wait ${Math.Rand[9]:Inc[4]}.

Instead of a static value on fish move distance, I changed that to Trigger:Set[${Math.Rand[3]:Inc[1]}]

It certainly is not an elegant solution, more tweaking with the numbers to make things as efficient as possible while still providing the randomness that VG expects is defiantly a good idea.

So far I have seen no major issues using the values I show above, but my testing was rather limited.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Eris I am by no means as advanced as you on the coding part, Zandros as for re creating it i just stand on my boat and start fishing after a bit sometimes one or two casts later it starts to move me around back and forth, sometimes it is immediately. Hope that helps.

Edit just loaded it up and tried it, I kept walking backwards did not even cast this time just starting walking in reverse.

About 2 weeks ago I had same problems (walking backwards instead casting a line).

Tried it yesterday and at least for 10 minutes everything works fine (after adjusting wait values like Eris advised). A few skillups and no walking problems ...

This is what I call a sever problem and I am going fishing and see what VG has done to thwart my detection.

BTW - I love the randomness idea. Totally rocks and will start implementing it immediately after I figure out what VG did.
