Creating Fishing Rooms is a multi-step process. The first process is creating a fishing ROOM and selecting from various fish related settings such as habitat and available fish.
The second process is making sure proper lures and fishing poles are available. You may not need to do this step unless this is a brand new area that needs fishing equipment in order to fish.
To start editing an object, go to the room you wish this object to reset in.
Type: edit object create <vnum> – This will create a new object.
Type: edit object <vnum> – To edit an existing object.
Type: olist 1/2/3 – To see a list of all the objects in the area while in the object editor.
Type: command – To see a list of the commands you can set for your object.
Type: show – to see the current information of the object, which should look like this:

Creating Fishing Rooms
The first step to creating a room for fishing is to create the room first that you will add fishing to.
Next, we’ll set our fishing settings, and in order to see what settings are available type: fish
This will show you the fishing syntax to the left.
Fish Habitat (see options with fish habitat ?) lets you choose the type of water area such as lake, small river, etc.
Fish <type> lets you set what type of fish can be fished in this area. See fish ? to see a list of the available fish.
Fish Clear would clear your fish settings so you would start with a clean slate.
Notations: You will not have the ability to create the fish yourself as they are currently created via code. You do not need to worry about creating mobs or objects for the fish.
Other Notations for later:
- Fightiness (how hard they are to reel in)
- Rarity (how rare they are)
- Sneakiness (how hard they are to notice0
- Bit (what lure works with what fish)

Creating Fishing Lures
After you have a room for fishing, you need to create equipment if this is a new area that doesn’t already have fishing gear. For this tutorial, we’ll create a lure.
The first step is to create your object like normal according to the object building tutorial.
The next step is set the TYPE as fishing_lure in order to get the rest of the lure settings.
v0 Habitat lets you choose what habitat this lure can be used in. To see the habitats type ? fishhabitat
v1 Loved by gives a +60 chance of showing up
v2 Liked by gives a +30 chance of showing up
v3 Disliked by gives a -30 chance of showing up
v4 Hated by means the rarity is 0 and they can’t catch it
Consumed Lure: this is a “yes” or “no” option to determine whether the lure you are creating is eatable by the fish, such as worms or crickets.
Once your fishing lure is set, you can complete your object like normal.
