FishingVolume (WoW 1.12.1)

FishingVolume is a utility for WoW 1.12.1 designed to automatically handle your volume levels and adds a few quality-of-life shortcuts to make long fishing sessions less of a chore.

Features

• Auto-Boost: When you start fishing, the addon kicks your Sound Volume up to your preferred level.
• Auto-Restore: As soon as you catch a fish or stop the cast, it puts the volume back exactly where it was.
• Mute Delay: If you have high latency, set a delay so the volume stays up for a few seconds after the cast ends to make sure you hear the catch.
• Click-to-Fish Overlay: A large, transparent button appears on your screen after a catch. Left-click to cast immediately, right-click to dismiss. Disappears automatically after 10 seconds.
• Quick Gear Swap: Dedicated buttons to equip your fishing pole and swap back to your weapons. Remembers your gear automatically.
• Smart Lures: One-click to scan your bags for the best available lure and apply it to your pole.
• Session Stats: Tracks how many fish and chests/trunks you've caught since you logged in.
• Lifetime Totals: Keeps a permanent record of your character's total catches.

Installation

1. Download this repository and move the FishingVolume folder into your Interface/AddOns/ directory.

2. The addon includes a cleaner, louder splash sound file. To use it, move the Sound folder provided in this download into your main WoW game folder (the one containing WoW.exe).

   Correct path: WoW/Sound/Spells/FishingBobberSplash.wav

   Note: This doesn't replace your game files — it tells the game to use this file instead of the default one.

Commands

• /fv: Opens the main settings and stats window.
• /fv mini: Toggles the compact, draggable utility bar.
• /fv zones: Opens the fishing zones skill browser.
• /fv reset: Wipes your lifetime stats (requires a second confirmation within 10 seconds).

Helpful Macros

Equip Pole and Fish

Works like the Fishing button from the addon, but as an in-game macro.

/run local n=FishingVolume.GetItemName(GetInventoryItemLink("player",16)) if not (n and string.find(n,"Pole")) then FishingVolume:EquipPole() else CastSpellByName("Fishing") end

Equip Weapons

Works like the Weapons button from the addon, but as an in-game macro.

/run FishingVolume:EquipWeapons()
