DOWNLOADS/FILES

This Zip file has everything you need to set up the prefab, guide included inside.

(Ensure your SDK is updated to 3.7.5 or above, this is NOT an automatic process, you have to click it yourself under Manage Project in the creator companion)

This version (V10) has the full 1024 fish!

• Both versions of the fishing rod Installs identically, old version will still be available. You will have to delete previous version entirely and reinstall if you want to add this to your avatar if your avatar has the old 512 fish version.

• If you reinstall to the new version from the old, your levels and saved fish will reset due to parameters changed, if you want your levels back read the bottom of this page

This is the OLD version that has 512 fish and is the older update, I recommend the above one if you want the full experience!

Changelog:

V10

• Added a second fishing rod prefab that can be used along the original, for dual wield fishing rod action

V9

• Fixed a quest side transition priority that made it so level up effects did not show for quest users.

V8

• Fixed quest rod 27 cancel animation (can import on top of existing to update)

V7

• Added + 512 fish, meaning there is now 1024 unique fish outcomes.

• Added 31 prestige levels, you can prestige when you hit max level to return to 0, and add +1 prestige level.

• There are 8 new skins unlocked by prestige 1-3.

• Added 1 secret skin that has a unique unlock requirement and also has a special fishing effect.

• Added leveling particles and sound for when you level up, making it easier to tell when you.. level up.

• +2 parameter cost, 38 total (from 36).

• Optimized a couple textures and improved small things, mostly unoticable.

• Fishing Expansion is a seperate unity package, installs identically as the other one, old version will still be available. You will have to reinstall if you want to add this to your avatar if your avatar has the old one.

V6

• Fixed green circuit rod accidentally catching hueshifted fish along with them being small, instead of just small fish

V5

• Removed dev menu from settings, it wasn't supposed to be there by default :) (still in the assets files, just not inside asset menu by default)

V4

• Changed 10 sprites that were deemed not transformative enough from the source material, no functional changes were made otherwise, you can import on top of existing and reupload if you wish to have the new sprites

• Fixed a couple typos in some fish names

V3

• Updated main fish sprite sheet to remove a few pixels here and there to clean up, extremely minor visual difference (thanks to upL33 for that). To update, you can simply import on top of existing project.

V2

• Fixed a wrong shader in quest version (you can import on top of existing to fix)

HOW TO INSTALL (video guide also included in the zip file above)

Ensure you have:

• SDK 3.7.5 or above (check under manage project in Creator Companion)

• Avatar manager 3.0 installed in the project for a manual install, or vrcfury for a vrcfury install

Import the unitypackage found in the Zip file, then watch the video guide :)

Customization! (optional)

Custom Fish

Full fish spritesheet looks like this, it can be found in the files under:

Assets > OtherworldlyFishingRod > Dependencies > FishMats > !CompiledSpriteSheet

The quest sprite sheet is a seperate image file due to no transparency.

You can draw directly on the sprite sheet to replace a fish, and save it. The text shader ingame will still display the name of the previous fish though, as the text is baked in and can't easily be swapped.

Fish sprite sheet 2:

Assets > OtherworldlyFishingRod > Dependencies > FishMats > Fish2 > CompiledSpriteSheet_Fish2

This Grid shows the limits each fish MUST stay inside to prevent bleeding over to another fish (can be scaled up, but must still stay inside the grid lines, not touch them

Important, the image settings must look like this:

Custom Fishing Rods

Full rod spritesheet looks like this, it can be found in the files under:

Assets > OtherworldlyFishingRod > Dependencies > RodMats > FishingRodTextures.png

If you wish to create your own texture to replace an existing one, you can use the following image as a guide

The very left side of the image is the actual texture for 1 fishing rod, the rest just tells you what is what.

This unity package has a prefab where you can more easily test your skins and how they look in unity.

I recommend you try to just draw directly on the below image and see what it looks like in the prefab itself :)

"I lost my ingame progress because I accidentally reset my avatar or added new stuff to the avatar which shuffled the parameters"

If you are desperate to regain the levels you lost, you can on upload change the parameter in the expressions parameters list:

OtherworldlyRod/FishingLevel from starting at 0 to a higher number

0.03 is one level

so 0.93 is max level

and 0.45 would be level 15

You have to reset your avatar for it to take effect

Please be aware this is a paid asset, and you are under no circumstances allowed to give the files to someone else.
