Fishing Info Overlays

GycEDQOfOZg

General info:

This mod only displays information about the fish (and fishable items) available in your area, as well as a preview during the fishing minigame. It does not alter any mechanics and has been coded to be as compatible with other fish-related mods as possible. It's very customisable, check out the screenshots.

Uses Data\\Fish + Fishing Simulation combo, for best mod compatibility. This method simulates the fishing minigame at a configurable interval (per UI Update) after getting the generic fish data. The higher the interval, the more accurate (and less glitchy looking) the information, but also higher performance cost. This should be near 100% accurate for anything (vanilla or modded) that uses the fishing minigame (getFish method).

Project story:

This little project started out as me wanting to update Teh's Overhaul, because even the unofficial 1. 5 update appears to outright prevent you from obtaining certain 1. 5 items, and requires tonnes of workarounds for certain modded fish. Teh's Overhaul is, as the name suggests, an overhaul - meaning it has its own logic for the fishing minigame. I was mainly interested in the overlay portion of it, since there's plenty of decent alternatives on the minigame difficulty front. That mod however, is pretty massive - with data spread across many files, classes and APIs. I quickly gave up on trying to make any sense of it, decided to start from scratch and properly wrap my head around how the vanilla game does its thing.

So is this actually based on Teh's Overhaul? Well, yes, but actually... who knows? The visual concept/initial idea maybe, but the code is purely SMAPI/Vanilla Stardew based.

Installation:

• []Download and Install the latest version of SMAPI. Made for 3. 10+, earlier versions might not work.

  [] Download and install Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM). If you want an easy way to customise the overlays on the fly, with in-depth explanations.

  []Download this mod from Files, and unzip the FishingInfoOverlays folder into your Mods folder.

  Compatibility:

  [] Tested with Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE), Ridgeside Village, Stardew Aquarium, Fishing Made Easy Suite, Fishing Minigames. Anything that adds fish via proper mechanics should work, and mods that modify difficulty via simple ways like Content Patcher should be fine.

  [*]This covers mostly different features than Fish Helper UI, and should be fully compatible. You can disable various features from this mod if you prefer th
