ARMA III FISHING



Version 1.54

Fishing mod for Arma 3.
The basic principles and ideas are taken from RF3 and partially from AF2.
Requirements: @allinarmaterrainpack, @cba_a3.

INSTALLATION
Installation is standard: copy the @ARF folder in Arma 3 folder, launch as mod.
Starting only with -filePatching option!

 

FEATURES

There is the marine fauna of north region of Black Sea (125 fish species) represented in the mod now.

All fish, presented in mod, corresponds to the real prototypes what dwelling in this region. Habits of fish, depth of dwelling and preferable baits are observed.

The nibble (it intensity, the preferred bait, depth, size of fish, etc.) is determined randomly for each day. Depends on the weather (optional).

The mod includes the feed system, alternative gear system, system of purchase/sale, things wearing and also cooking system.

 

DEFECTS, LIMITATIONS AND BUGS
1) lack of fishing animations, throwing and holding the rod;
2) because of an unfortunate oversight the correct dialogue displaying is possible only on "Small" interface size;
*correction is possible, but it takes so much effort and time, that is much easier to politely ask you to switch to this size;
3) constantly get an error at civilian spawn with TPW-script (not found texture);
4) you have to launch functions manually (press "J") everytime you've loaded saved game.
5) small scripting errors and game bugs will take place for certain, everything can't be tracked alone.

 

WARNING! You have to launch functions manually (press "J") everytime you've loaded saved game!

(I'll try to solve this problem)

THE NEXT PLANS
A story.

Wow! Very clever. Nicely done.

I love how you took a "military simulator" and gave us something unique.

A fine fishing mod indeed. Thanks!

If there are fishing animations will be - it will be possible to think of multiplayer.

Really thank you for this mod friend :)

Although I doesn't like fishing, but after read this I was very interested in. It must cost you a lot of time and effort right? thanks a lot, I'm sure I'll try it asap.

In addition, if you need some new custom RTM animation files, maybe I can help to create.

[max75 14]

fromz,thanks for sympathy, it really takes a lot of time) I take note about animations, before moving on it is necessary to wait a little. I'll let you know.

[Rydygier 1317]

:D

Excellent! Although I hate fishing, I love, when moddder does not allow to limit his imagination and just does with the game whatever he wants. Great approach. For me - a good reason for checking AiA soon just for this, I think.

[archer336 14]

This looks pretty good, I'm going to try it out later today! I think I've found my replacement of Sega bass fishing. :)

Can you tell me what i need to do to retreat the line? I mean the float is bouncing what next? Some magic key?

If I understand you correctly - press Space to cut (sweep? oh, my English) a fish.

[progamer 14]

Are you planning on any fishing vessels?

How realistic are the fish bites? It would be nice to relax like real life fishing.

Could get a version that's just fishing? The current versions is more of a fishing life mod.

1. Fishing from a boat is planned.

2. I try to consider all factors - the behavior, the preferred bait, depth, habitat, etc. As far as it is possible, of course. Do not demand too much, please, this is a game.

3. Yes, probably I will make the light version.

This is only the beginning! At this stage I need to ensure that the mod just works and I still have to create a basis for further development.

Okay, this HAS to be part of DAYZ now!! :D Would make an excellent way to get food for survival.

Quality mate, might not have to get up at 6am to find a decent casting spot this weekend, can just go play this!

[prykpryk 11]

Yea. English is OK until you talk about fishes xD

I press G to throw, wait for the fish and then space?

After the float twitch and will be disappeared press Space. Then LMB and RMB to draw out a fish.

Thanks, what does the first left icon on HUD mean?

Need for smoking. Our hero not only ex-alcoholic, but also heavy smoker) This is my whim.

[Recardio 1]

I would love to see this expanded with hunting. It is amazing so far, and with hunting, it would be perfect. It would be my dream mod. Maybe even start us with a pistol in a cabinet with a couple magazines, and we go hunting to get money to get more ammo and possibly an upgrade for our pistol, maybe a bolt action rifle or a shotgun, depending on our choice. And the last thing that I would love to see would be able to have a little garden that we could farm some stuff that we can sell to farmers. Maybe make the stuff take 30 minutes to an hour, maybe configurable, real time to grow.

Edit: Maybe enable us to have an option some time down the line making it where we don't need to smoke, but still can if we want to. And if we do smoke, it warms us up and adds a temporary boost. I know this would be way down the line, but it's some suggestions.
