Fishing issue

[Mortow]

I enabled the message as you suggested, Kingly and it says:

Rod is at 1455.046, 1.128, -122.000, InWater says 0, InLava says 0

This attempt was done in PoK in the small pool by the fishing vendors.

I also changed the + 4 to - 1 and recompiled and this makes fishing work again. Not sure what affects that may have on other things.

The issue is the old code basically relied on the water's surface acting as a solid "floor".

If you look at the code what it does is cast out z + 10 above you and tries to find the bestz (hoping to hit the water surface). It then subtracts a small amount and hopes that the bobber is in the water.

I have the info in the maps to fix this so they don't have to be regenerated but it's not currently coded in.

For now the "RodZ = zone->zonemap->FindBestZ(dest, nullptr) + 4;" hack makes it work for *most* pools of water but I need to go back and recode the maps so we can do it as intended.

Thanks for the info KLS. I must just have really bad luck in picking the pools because the four I used didn't work. That's the way my luck generally runs though.

I just ran into this on my server. So what is the real fix? Can I just run azone2 again on my maps and will that fix the problem or am I going to have to hack my code?
