====== Skill Fishing ==

This skill is implemented since version 1.11.0 of the [[:server]] . \\
This skill is only available through a skill tool named "fishing pole" . \\
The archetype name of the fishing pole is [[:items:skills:skill_tools:fishing_pole]] .

There is no treasure list, that contains fishing_pole, as there are for [[:items:skills:skill_tools:lockpicks]] and flint_and_steel, \\
making it unavailable to the average player as random find in dungeons. Fishing poles are available in one shop right now, Sargas's fine fishing supplies in Darcap.\\
A Dungeon Master can get himself such a fishing pole by the DM command [[:dm_commands#create]] : \\
''create 1 0 fishing_pole'' . \\
Noteworthy though, that items with too much magic+ tend get negative weight. \\
Items that weight 0 or less, are not pick-able any more, when dropped on the floor. \\
+9 would be the maximum for enchanting a fishing pole in this case.

The only archetype that contains some harvest-able fish is "shallow_sea" , which has a light-blue face, \\
and is usually found at ocean's coasts on world maps. \\
All other water archetypes do not contain fish as treasures: lakes, rivers, ponds.
===== Apply ==
Applying the fishing pole puts the fishing pole into the foreground of the range attack line \\
in the [[:client]] as //Skill: fishing pole// ; to be fired then afterwards by [[:player_commands#Special bind's:|firekey]] + directionalkey .


Syntax : ''apply fishing pole'' 

===== Use Skill ==
Only useful on shallow_sea tiles, that do not block movement. \\
The shallow_sea archetype by default has ''[[:dev:object_fields#move_block]] all'' set ( old //no_pass 1// ); \\
so only a DM is able to apply the use_skill command successfully.

The fishing pole has to be applied beforehand, \\
a fishing pole in the un-applied inventory does not get automatically applied. \\
Using this skill without having applied the tool beforehand would print \\
to the server's logfile :
>>18/04/07 14:26:54 [Error]   do_harvest: tool fishing without harvest_[race|tool|speed] ( :?: BUG ? )
 
Syntax : \\
''apply fishing pole'' \\
''use_skill fishing'' 

The shallow sea tiles provide fish as random treasure: \\
Some shallow sea tiles do not contain fish at all, saying \\
''"You can't %s anything here.", skill->slaying'' ; \\
as it would say for all the many other ground tiles, as for grass, trees, cobblestones.

When a shallow_sea tile contains fish as treasure, than the message for success is \\
''"You %s some %s", skill->slaying, item->name'' \\
and for failure \\
''"You fail to %s anything.", skill->slaying'' .


===== Ready Skill ==
Sets the skill into the [[:characters:shoottype]] range foreground as //Skill: fishing// .
 
This works also for a normal player, to fire the skill onto a direction of a bordering shallow_sea map tile.

Readying this skill needs the fishing pole being applied beforehand to be of any usefulness.

Syntax : \\
''apply fishing pole'' \\
''ready_skill fishing''


===== Technical ==
The skill is internally called SK_HARVESTING :

  * #define SK_HARVESTING 38  //server/include/skills.h//
  * Function do_skill() in //server/server/skill-util.c// calls 
    *  do_harvest() in //server/server/c_misc.c//


===== Versions ==

This skill is unavailable to a normal player on the current [[:servers:Metalforge]] server v1.12 svn r17660 .
