Something to do when not rping or dungeon crawling. You can even tweak it to give XP

Was this ever added to the ALFA haks? Would be a nice addition.

Seen it in other PW and it is simply amazing.

I can't remember if we put this in or not. AL, sound familiar to you? I think we planned to but wanted to focus on practical stuff first, and it never got in.

Yep, it went straight onto our "would be good for later, when we have more time" listing. Especially since it involves adapting the scripts and balance/reward considerations, it's a bit of a project in and of itself. Could try to throw it into a special Beta hak if we could get testers to try to fish their way to riches and fortune, theoretically.

At least it would be another timesink/money sink. Something for people to do when nothing is going on. Im sure you will nerf it to death anyway so people cant make any money off it like everything else in game.

Least we could make some fishing quests and stuff in game if this were in. Get fishing and some form of herbing and I could come up with a ton of quests related to making potions, first aid, cooking, etc.

We did have it in NWN1, we could just set it up exactly the same way and tweak later if it needed it. Speaking of which, does anyone have the NWN1 fish pack? I had every Faerun fish I could find in it and don't want to dig those up again, and lost that when my computer asploded.

I'm afraid I never saw an NWN1 fish pack sitting alone as, say, an erf.

I know Daggerdale had a lot of non-RL fishies in the custom items part of the pallette someplace, and TPI was a fishing hotspot as well, though I don't know whether non-RL fish were among the catch possibilities. Maybe you had it in TSM as well, you'd know best on that.

All those modules at least are still in the DMFTP, mostly in the offline modules folder, for what it's worth. Means hunting for fish in the pallette and all as opposed to having a tidy erf, not sure what other leads I can think of on point.

I adapted a NWN1 system for Northern Cormyr and Arabel, I probably have the fish blueprints somewhere. As far as which would be found around TSM, I'd have to defer to someone with a better sense of the sporting canon of the area.

We'll get it in, just trading time with major bugfixes, hak updates, etc. The balancing involved will be about making it a workable way to earn some gold now and then, without being such a lucrative profession that all the 1st level fighters are camping the ponds 24/7 until they can afford fullplate.

Anybody find those fish so we could get this in game?

Lusipher · Post by **Lusipher** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 7:07 am

Can we still get this added to ALFA?

AcadiusLost · Post by **AcadiusLost** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 2:17 pm

Eventually, yes.

I'm a bit busy for the next 2-3 weeks, but after that I was thinking I might play with this as a "my first project" thing if nobody else has their eye on it?
