First of all I would like to say that if profession or UI subsections weren’t dead on the EU forums I would ask there. Now with that out of the way let’s get to the issue at hand.
Before DF I used a macro that cast my bobber if I had a fishing rod equipped and something else (mount in my case) if I had my main weapon equipped. Now that fishing rods no longer go to the main hand slot it obviously doesn’t work anymore.
My current macro is as follows (intended to fish when wearing cloth fishing gear like Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat):
but it doesn’t work as intended because the macro identifies my cloak as cloth.
I don’t have cosmetic fishing gear nor DF fishing gear (whatever type that may be) and won’t have it any time soon. Any ideas how to make this macro work in DF?
Thanks but that would require extra fiddling with focus target which I’d rather avoid.
I asked on the NA forums as well and was suggested to use a tabard as a conditional and only wear it in one of the sets. I think I’ll use that until I either find a better method that doesn’t require an extra slot in the bags, or get one of Nat’s cosmetic hats and set the condition to that.
I don’t think right clicking your portrait, clicking set focus and then clearing focus when you’re done fishing is more work than having to swap gear out to fish but it’s your choice I guess.
It has always been a thing because fishing gear gives extra fishing stat. You make a combat set and a fishing set, put them on your bars and it’s just one click to switch.
