SeagullFishing

Seagull Fishing — fishing for seagulls

English

Overview

When a fish bites, the catch may occasionally be replaced by one of two special items:

• Seagull (15% by default) — a live seagull hooked like a fish. It fights on the line until released (auto-release after ~5 seconds out of water, or manual release / dropping the rod), then flies straight up into the sky and resumes normal seagull behavior.
• Lit dynamite (5% by default) — a sizzling stick of dynamite with a 10-second fuse (configurable).

Everything else is unchanged. All chances are configurable; with the master switch off, fishing is 100% vanilla.

• Works with all fishing rods (regular rod and crab-pot rod).
• Boss catches are never replaced.
• Multiplayer: server-authoritative; all clients see the same result.

Installation

• Install BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack for How to Fish) into the game directory.
• Extract the zip and merge the BepInEx folder into the game folder (e.g. F:\steam\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\).
• Launch the game through Steam. The mod loads automatically; check BepInEx\LogOutput.log for "Seagull Fishing loaded!".

Plugin location: BepInEx\plugins\SeagullFishing\SeagullFishing.dll

Configuration

The config file BepInEx\config\com.yw.seagullfishing.cfg is generated on first launch. Edit it while the game is closed (or in-game via Mod Menu if installed).

Module introduction

When fishing, the catch has a certain probability of being replaced by the following two special items:

• Seagull (default 15%) - A live seagull will hang on the line and fight like a fish. After unhooking (automatically releasing the rod after the bait leaves the water for about 5 seconds, or manually releasing the rod/dropping the rod), it will fly straight into the sky, and then resume normal seagull behavior.
• Lit Explosives (Default 5%) - Fuse defaults to 10 seconds (adjustable).

The rest of the game content remains unchanged. All probabilities are configurable; they are exactly the same as the original version after turning off the main switch.

• Suitable for all fishing rods (normal casting rods and crab pot rods).
• Boss catches will not be replaced.
• Online: The server is authoritative, and the results seen by each client are consistent.

Installation method

• Install BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack for How to Fish) into the game directory.
• Unzip the zip and merge the BepInEx folder into the game directory (such as F:\steam\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\).
• Launch the game via Steam. The module loads automatically, you can see "Seagull Fishing loaded!" in BepInEx\LogOutput.log.
