Fishing Bug

[Kevin Douse]

I'm a level 5 fisher and this morning i tried fishing and every single time i tried to fish it just said Line Snapped. I tried logging out and then tried on a different character and found that that character could fish fine. I'm practically broke now since i mainly fish as my job.

Heres a screenshot:

We changed fishing so you couldn't use it as your primary source of income to make millions (hello, Draco, Marius, Chang Lao, etc), but that may have screwed over everyone who just got to level 5. Previously there was a hidden level 6 characteristic that gave you more fish at a higher weight once you went past a certain point at level 5. This will probably be our new cutoff point, at about 700 fish total, I'd think.

Dang. Cant you just increase cooldown or average weight or something?

So it looks like fishing is going to be strictly a newbie springboard of sorts?

Preaty much. Becauase people used to it poopsock too much with it.

People would just fish all day and not do anything "job" related. And they would come out ahead in the end.

I just thought the fish were pissed off from all the poopsockers killing their friends...

Make the cooldown times increase as the level increases. 5 additional minutes per level until the cooldown time is 20 minutes for lvl 5. That way, you keep the poopsockers from becoming millionaires solely from fishing while not pissing off the people who worked up to lvl 5, only to find out they can't fish anymore.

Fucking with timers in SAMP is bad.

Hello!

Just make it so it works like /n. After you attain a certain overall level, you can't fish any more, just like you can't talk in /n.

this would make sense if your were forced to level and it had any real advantages

Ya, you're right. I was assuming that people wouldn't try to stay at a low level to /fish, but when you think it over, thats exactly what most trolls would do anyways.

[Bonez]

I say keep fishing exactly the way it is and there will be no problems.

That's why Draco made 1mil within the first week or so? That's from fishing and dropcaring all day. If you made more then that by actually PLAYING THE GAME then fine, but otherwise, leave it like that.

don't you think it'd be more appropriate to put in a message like "No more fishes for you, now fuck off" instead of just making it look like a bug?

It was changed a few days after this was posted. Also it was never impossible to fish, it just took more time....like real fishing. So out of 3-4 hours of fishing you might of came away with 2-3 fish. People being the poopsockers they were made fish macros that would spam the /fish command 1000's of times a minute until they got something.

Except it's autohotkey, simple binds not scripts, and is widely accepted by all SA:MP servers, including this one.

Also, it was impossible to fish once you hit level 6 regardless of how many times you spammed /fish.

Uh yeah, AHK doesn't integrate itself into any other program, game or otherwise; it uses simple scripts.
