Free FFXIV Fishing Bot, works with v2.3.5

Since you already appear to know whether the result is HQ or not, you should be able to tell whether or mooch can be used or not by the type of fish (ex. Merlthor Goby HQ = yes). BTW you do not need to inject code to read from the chat log. In fact, you never need to inject code to read anything from memory. I believe the chat structure works similar to the 1.0, an array of line lengths and a pointer to the data blob. Chat is in a binary format you'll need to parse (auto-translates, item links, etc are in there too). The format is quite similar to the log files, except the offsets and the data are stored separately in memory and the log file has a start and end line number at the top. My private bot uses the hotbar data for mooching, I found it to be the best fit for what I wanted. If you're looking for new features, mine has a few I didn't see mentioned: Automatic enabling of cast light (to avoid looking like a bot) Catching big fish only (dump bad results with Quit because it is faster) Ability to pregame for a fish before a window and automatically hold the nth mooch Ability to repair Ability to move/reset fishing location ("The fish sense something is amiss") Multibox support? You could also consider reading the user's configuration so they can set hotbars however they'd like. Catching big fish only is not an indication that the person is botting because players can listen to the sound of the fish biting and determine the size. Small fish sound like a slight rattle, medium fish have a more robust rattling sound and big fish sound like a stick (rod) breaking/snapping.

1. Attach Cheat Engine to FFXIV
2. Perform a new "Array of Bytes" value type scan
3. Under "Memory Scan Options" make sure "Writable" is either unchecked or checked and grayed out (NOT simply checked)
4. Enter the signature above as the search value
5. Scan

 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓
8B 8D DC F8 FF FF 51 B9 ?? ?? ?? ?? E8 XX XX XX XX 8B 0D...
                       [ 1  2  3  4 ]

E8 XX XX XX XX 8B 0D XX XX XX XX E8 XX XX XX XX 85 C0 0F 84 XX XX XX XX 8B 95 DC F8 FF FF 52 The question marks represent the desired 4-byte pointer, the X's represent wildcards. Attach Cheat Engine to FFXIV Perform a new "Array of Bytes" value type scan Under "Memory Scan Options" make sure "Writable" is either unchecked or checked and grayed out (NOT simply checked) Enter the signature above as the search value Scan You should get one result. The pointer to the fish bait value is at +0x8 from that resulting address: Code: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ ↓↓ 8B 8D DC F8 FF FF 51 B9 ?? ?? ?? ?? E8 XX XX XX XX 8B 0D... [ 1 2 3 4 ] ...so if you get a match at 0x10FCEFD, you'd do 0x10FCEFD + 0x8 = 0x010FCF05. That address contains a pointer, not the value. The pointer at 0x010FCF05 isn't quite the end, there is one other offset which for patch 2.38 happens to be 0x30C. You could find the 0x30C value with a signature similar to the above process. So if 0x010FCF05→0x01BF1AB0, you add 0x30C to 0x01BF1AB0, the result of which is the address for the bait ID value. This can all be performed programmatically; no injection required :) This is commonly called "pattern scanning" or "signature scanning" but doesn't require any injection or codecaves.

Base+offset is a nice portable way of talking about it so you could quickly reference it to someone else but when thinking about making your program stand up to updates it would be better to simply use the pointers obtained from scans. I have all baits stored, I don't anticipate more (their IDs are consecutive and bookended by other non-bait item IDs) but if they did add more they'd be exceptionally quick and easy to find since you only need one piece of the bait, one time. Fishing holes and mooch locations are a bit more subject to massive change, expansion... so I was firmly against storing mooch chains (too much probable maintenance).

See yourself : [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The full name it tries to put it "Boucles D'oreilles De Protecteur Des Tremblements Dévastateurs" (which is "Tremor Earrings Of Fending" in english). The amout column is good, the only issue is on the name. I know it's not a big deal (and to be honest i dont really care) but i thought it was a good thing to let you know about this bug ^^
