Too Long; Didn't Read


 

Additions


 

  • 80+ new species of fish have been added for you to catch and discover.
  • You are now able to use a tugboat in order to fish through a net.
  • Hourly hot-spots which have a higher chance for rarer fish.
  • More selling spots around the state.

 

Changes


  • You can now fish anywhere with water (except from Los Santos).

 

Removals


  • The current fish will be uncatchable from now on. However, they should still be sellable.

 


Author's Note


 

It is no secret that the current fishing script is dated and not used by many. With the continuous input of certain community members as well as the staff team I have created a new fishing script which will be placed on the live server soon. I believe that it is a good stepping stone for an improvement in marine, as well as county, roleplay and through further feedback from anybody that tries it out it can be improved upon.

 

As you may know; fishing could only be done in a few spots and the fish could be sold in fewer. With this update we are introducing a way for you to fish almost anywhere in the state. More selling spots have also been scattered across the state so you are not geographically locked. On top of that; if you feel like fishing with a rod is not the job for you, you can purchase a tug boat and use its net for bigger returns. However, make sure your papers and licenses are in order as the San Andreas Park Rangers will be out there patrolling and penalties may be issued! (Note: Rod fishing can be done on any boat.)

 

Furthermore, I have received several complaints about the variety of the currently existing fish and how it doesn't make sense for them to exist within San Andreas. By consulting several wildlife websites; I have chosen a couple dozen fish that should realistically be native to San Andreas. Different fish can be found in different parts of the ocean so take your friends with you on a boat and explore! Fish prices change every single day so every single fish is worth keeping around.

 


Command Overview


 

  • /fish • Allows you to cast your rod, if you are in a suitable location.
  • /stopfishing • If you are currently fishing, it will make you stop. You can also use /sa as an alternative.
  • /castnet • If you are in the driver's seat of a tug, you will lower the nets to begin net fishing.
  • /catch • If a fish is tugging on your rod, /catch will begin the minigame.
  • /myfish • Displays the fish you have on your person and their prices.
  • /sellfish • Displays a random selling location on the map. If you're on the location it will sell your fish.

 


Fishing Methods


 

By Rod:

This is the traditional method that currently exists on the server. You type /fish and after a small delay, you have the ability to /catch and attempt to add another fish to your collection! What has changed is that now in order to successfuly capture the fish you have to play a small mini-game.

The minigame is quite simple. The fish will move left to right inside the bar, all you have to do is press the SPACEBAR when it is inside the green part and you got the fish!

 

By Tug:

You are now able to cast a net while in the driver's seat of a tug boat. Type /castnet and you will receive a confirmation. You can now do whatever you like and after around six minutes you will receive a notification that the net is ready. All you have to do is re-enter the boat and type the same command! All the fish found will be deposited in the boat's inventory. There's no minigame here but after a few net casts, it'll prompt you to move the boat.

 

Note:

When you are fishing inside the upper part of the map  you get better fish than being on the lower part.

 


Hot-Spots


 

In order to prevent people hiding far away into the sea away from the eyes of the Park Rangers, four hotspots have been designated which can be seen in the map below. Inside these spots you have higher chances of getting fish which sell for a lot more than normal! The spots rotate once an hour and once you enter the current hot-spot you will receive a chat message saying so.
