Info

Bot works by comparing two frames. It recognises catch when fishing float changes position and then returns to original position. This happens when it dips down

Image capture is at (x-1400, y-200) square from left top corner. Check base_screenshot.png to see where exactly bot is fishing

• Move player camera so fishing floater appears inside image capture square!
• Put fishing skill in action bar under button 1
• Obviously, don't move camera while fishing
• Don't move your mouse while fishing

Troubleshooting

• Bot thinks fish is caught when it's not. Try finding calmer waters. There's too much noise between two frames - difference between frames is what makes bot think there's a catch!

• Bot does not catch fish, after fishing float moves. This is caused because there's not enough change between frames. Another solution - try to make another lure.png screenshot or change video settings

• Bot does not start (pyautogui issue). Mac needs separate OS level permissions: Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility > iTerm
