I logged in today in Second Life to be greeted by a 7Seas Social Chat group discussion about fishing bots. The exchange of thought was surprising and it seems that most, if not all, are against the use of this fishing bot. I know sooner or later someone would come up with something like a fishing bot since fishing marathons are becoming a very common thing with 7Seas Fishing Game. In fact, I also run a daily fishing marathon at my place. Before, I would start the prize pot at 100L$ but I got broke so I had to changed it to an Open Prize Pot fishing marathon that is, if someone donates to the pot then the participants will get some prize money at the end. Of course, no one hardly donates so most fishers don’t fish at my marathon anymore except when there’s a substantial amount of linden dollars in the prize pot.

Some familiar names are on it like Sal, Skinny and Genevive! LOL! They are very popular indeed! :)

Back to the fishing bot, after I logged off I immediately searched for this so called fishing bot and eventually I found it at SLExchange. The bot is actually an auto-fishing HUD called Fishing Helper HUD. Wow! Fishing Helper? I guess fishing is so hard for some people that they need a HUD to help them fish. Ha ha ha! This particular HUD will not work with the standard Second Life viewer. Nope! It needs an alternative Second Life viewer namely the RestrainedLife SL Viewer. Eversince Linden Labs made the viewer open source alternative viewers have surfaced and the RestrainedLife viewer is one of them. [...continue reading Auto Fishing HUD or Trainer]

Today I received a very unexpected message from Seven Shikami, one of the staff and I believe to be the main developer of the 7Seas Fishing Game System. He told me that some people are accusing me of cheating the system. Duh? These narrow-minded residents of Second Life came to that conclusion because I was kinda dominating most of the fishing competitions and also because I was using a modded fishing rod.

You see, you can mod the appearance of any of the 7Seas Fishing Rod BUT you can never modify or edit any of the 7Seas core scripts that make the fishing rod works. I got the idea from someone who was fishing at my place. She was using a one prim stick that acted like a wand. I asked how it was done and she told me that it was as simple as dragging the scripts into another object and in return I made her a simple magic wand. One important thing she forgot to tell me was that transferring the scripts will reset your fishing rod’s stats. I found out about it after transferring my fishing rod’s scripts into my Katana which I later on transferred into my Kendo Stick. I then spent a few hours levelling it up again to level 5. I also replaced the casting animations to match the Kendo stick more. [...continue reading Accused But Cleared, Thanks 7Seas]
