📋 About This Mod
Fish With Fishing Poles
Overview
This mod integrates RacerPlume's Fish With Fishing Poles with some OpenMW Lua mods.
Skill Framework
The fishing skill, normally hidden in the base mod, is now integrated with Skill Framework as a Stealth/Endurance skill.
Racial bonuses: (+10) Argonian, Redguard, Sea Elf, Ynesai; (+5) Nord, Riverfolk
Class bonuses: (+15) Fisherman ; (+5) Scout, Naturalist , Sailor , Scout , Sailor
To set your fishing skill through the console, type:
lua fishing #
Sun's Dusk
The catchable fish added by Booze's Fish With Fishing Poles Expansion have had food definitions added for Sun's Dusk - Needs and Survival.
Crafting Framework
Adds crafting recipes for the mod's items to Crafting Framework (OpenMW).
Fishing Pole: 2 Scrap Wood + 6 Kresh Fiber
Bait Bucket: 4 Scrap Wood + 1 Rope
Requires Tamriel_Data for material items. Highly recommended to use with DubiousNPC's Simple Tasks recipe module so you have a way of making scrap wood and rope.
Combat Sounds Overhaul
Included as a patch under Optional Files.
If using Combat Sounds Overhaul with either base Fish With Fishing Poles (no "Fatigue Alternative Detection") OR Fish With Fishing Poles Expansion, it will break their rod swing detection scripts as it forcibly stops weapon swish sounds. This patch makes it instead restart the sound with a volume of zero, so that other scripts can still detect it.
